or you simply missed it
the golden shrine gave me a generic narrator comment about it
maybe i never did that before and now i have to refresh the house like you suggested
I just hit 100 escape attempts ||and I have still never seems fishing spot in chaos||
*seen
I have epilogue and all important side stories done 🙃🙃🙃 my codex is pretty much done I'm just missing 3 things and they are all the same thing lol
like I would understand if I were missing the legendary fish or something but I've never seen a fishing spot in chaos in general lol
best advice i can give for getting chaos fish is taking the first gate you see and then dying
hi, sorry to ask again but can anyone share me their end game save file?
I come from the switch version and I don't wanna grind again on PC XD
Just need all aspect unlocked and date Thanatos
You can wait until SGG implement cross-saves
heh I don't really need cross save just wanna try some build on PC
@wooden galleon the speedrun.com profile for hades has a completed save
First ending question || does anyone remember which hades fight is free? Is it the one right after going into his bedroom or the one after ||
||number 10||
So the 10 th run is free or the run after the 10? (11th run)
@wooden galleon the speedrun.com profile for hades has a completed save
@green elk I tried that one but unfortunately haelian doesn't date Thanatos

I only date Thanatos and doesn't date Meg
I want a Thanatos date save bc the keepsake title and extra conversations
ahhh
I mean, if you just wanna try out some builds as you said, you dont need that
But it's part of the fun 😂
like if you date Meg or Than when you use their keepsakes there will be fun quote. And there are post game dialogues too
Question! ||orpheus randomly sang in the halls once before any side quest or nectar business, is it always the same song? I’d like to buy it to hear it again if possible||
Orpheus' lament?
Let’s find out!
||it is not. he cycles through a few songs. You probably heard|| ||Good Riddance. as it's the requirement for you to unlock oprheus singing. pretty sure||
there's three songs Orpheus will cycle through
Let’s try that one too! ||shame there aren’t lyrics when replaying them with diamonds||
I wonder if it's intentional that the ||Hades call|| doesn't contribute to "Family Favorite"
does spamming the first level work for progressing toward the epilogue?
That is probably intentional, Bare
I'd say it's unintentional as it's not a real boon
taking other calls doesn't show up as a replacement.
I wonder if it's intentional that the ||Hades call|| doesn't contribute to "Family Favorite"
@fluid citrus Not an Olympian god, same as Chaos
i very much have been enjoying the times i run into ||patroclus|| while on runs
Yeah he's a good safety net
he has legit saved my runs before like the run would have 100% failed if I didn't get his room
How do I get all the fish?
git gud
more seriously; there’s a lot of rng involved so it tends to take a long time
you need to luck into finding them, then luck into getting the rarer fish even if you can get perfect catches reliably
I havent even seen a chaos realm fish point in twenty runs
Perfect catches?
If you hit the catch button within a third of a second, you get a perfect catch
a perfect catch is with int 0.32 seconds of the flash
It'll say so at the top of the screen
it’ll give you a chance of a legendary fish
exactly what that chance is has been a matter of some debate
Perfect catches have a 5% chance of legendary fish, otherwise it's rare. Regular catches have a 5% chance of rare fish, else it's a common
Allegedly
^
What is a perfect catch?
I just want the legendary fishes to fill up my book T-T
anecdotally, those numbers seem way off to me
but that could be confirmation bias idk
I'll have to do that
The bait will fake you out a maximum of three times, fourth is always a bite
Also, someone mentioned that the time between a bob and a bite is always the same, so if it takes longer it's gonna be another fakeout
I have done 100 runs and I have literally never seen a chaos fish
idk what the chances are but it's low
Chances are low, but you also need to have not seen a fish spot in quite some time to even HAVE the chance
yeah i suggest just trying to catch a lot of fish; you can get a feel for the timings
lol
ya I believe it's 10 rooms is the reset bar the fishing lure from shop
“to catch fish, you should try to catch fish”
-me
very helpful advice i’m dropping here lol
fishing does help to get fish
yeah this is like, hypnos level big brain strats
I'm giving up on the chaos fish tbh I'm nearly done with all the story stuff and I'm not gonna grind for 3 codex entries
good thing hypnos is smart
no one who has lists can be stupid
Just dont get hit
he told you not to
plus yeah lists
i made a list once; now i’m at least 20% smarter
see
finally reach the epilogue
gotta say it was worth it 
it's time to try get the last statue from skelly, 32 measures challenge... 
so i dont know if its just me
but i swear, whenever hades and persephone are in the garden
hades looks like a kid getting chewed out for doing something bad
id post a picture if i could
||He|| looks juuust a little shoulder-slumped.
But this is endgame content that should be spoiled.
in terms of fishing: From what I noticed
if its not almost instantly
its a fakeout
theres like a second delay and if its not a catch its a fakeout that lasts like 3-5 seconds
what do i talk to to get the option to upgrade the elder sigil for nyx
People, is there any problem with Hypnos favor unlocking? I got the epilogue,
I'm almost finishing the fated list, there's only Aphrodite left to gain the favor of and His storyline is still locked in the part ||that he talks to Hades and gets complimented.||
So is the War god's bloodlust prophecy total kills, or kills after you get the prophecy?
Total kills
People, is there any problem with Hypnos favor unlocking? I got the epilogue,
I'm almost finishing the fated list, there's only Aphrodite left to gain the favor of and His storyline is still locked in the part ||that he talks to Hades and gets complimented.||
sadly, than is involded in his favor
sadly, than is involded in his favor
@unreal dagger So I'm just unlucky then? Because this happened before the epilogue...
Id say so
Thanks.
okay im so confused how does family favourite work and how does the shattered shackle keepsake work? and why did i watch a streamer use both?
as long as you dont have a boon in the ability slot, shattered shackle works
ability slot?
the 5 slots on the left
like "divine flourish"
or tidal dash
as long as you dont have to press B to see the boon, it doesnt mess with shattered shackle
so why did this dude use family favourite with it? doesnt that encourage getting boons? @unreal dagger
turns out
Charon can be very generous if you call down the might of Ares on him O_O
Did he swap out the shackle after Tartarus
idk
Let's see, I did the fishing quest and kill EM3 Theseus quest for Poseidon and his heart is still locked
I guess I just need to meet him more often?
Heard you need to have cought a fish in that run before talking to Poseidon. Then some say you don't need to. Tho I did the former
I just got to Styx for the first time and thought I was actually about to fight Cerberus
gratz!
does anyone else keep missing ||dialogue in the garden|| because they keep forgetting to check and ||Zagreus only says to check|| when he's already one foot in the bed room? Or is it just me?
Like I just ||got past the feast and I missed Persephone's and Hades' reactions to it|| and when I reentered the main hall the dialogue wasn't there anymore.
So what's the deal with ||Sisyphus and Nyx? Nyx|| made all the Cthonic Companions and stated that they can only be given otherwise they are worthless,|| and he has one.||
@little crown ||keep an eye out for when Hades and Persephone are both missing, that's usually a giveaway||
So what's the deal with ||Sisyphus and Nyx? Nyx|| made all the Cthonic Companions and stated that they can only be given otherwise they are worthless,|| and he has one.||
@lofty musk ||It can be assumed he found one at some point. I doubt Nyx gave him one directly.||
I also find it strange ||Nyx would give a companion to Dusa. seeing as they are not friends in the slightest.||
She does that because she ||likely knows it'll end up with Zag is she does.||
||Nyx knows that Zagrues can't resist trying to date a maid||
What are the best weapons? I've tried them all and I got the furthest with the ||gun||
there's no best weapon
Depends on your playstyle.
My fastest clear is with the spear, my fave weapons are the fists and gun. Yours will likely be different
If you're starting out, the shield helps a lot, what with the ability to block. Good for just sitting there and figuring out bosses' patterns
Thx
@lofty musk ||It can be assumed he found one at some point. I doubt Nyx gave him one directly.||
@torpid vine ||That cant be the case. She directly states that have to be given willingly or else they lose their power||
||They can be passed from person to person though. Nyx might have given it to someone, who then gave it to someone, who then gave it to Sis.|| @lofty musk
Hypnos and Megaera is the saddest break up of the century
post it in #fan-works
When you bloodly beat hades at 20 hp only to find out he has a 2nd phase
Curse this place >:[
Hehehehe. Good luck.
He got me like shockedpikachu.jpg when he went into the 2nd phase
ok hear me out
artemis is the only god that gives exclamation marks on her damage numbers
except for one other god
thanatos
both also give mongo damage numbers
therefore, than is a fan of artemis
and the reason we dont have a poster of artemis available for our room is because than already snatched it up
So I'm well past the epilogue and ||Theseus and Asteroid are fighting like a married couple.|| I love it, how long does it go on? ||The fight I just had, Theseus didn't say anything, Asterius just said he wasn't feeling himself.||
Alright so I feel the safest posting it here, but if anyone is interested in a consistent way of doing witches in asphodel
with meg keepsake
I would say it works 85% of the time, sometimes the witch you see walking up at the end just suddenly stops but that barely happens
@sturdy egret hilariously, on the run my partner just did, they barely talked at all
wow an actual meg guide thank you nuhai
i always did the middle island to get the top 3 but getting 4 is def better if it's consistent
oh that is slick
when you give a bunch of nector to achillies to see if he talks about patrolucus but he thinks you are into him. :[
not gay just watching
yknow, considering that raging rush is tied to achilles aspect
and em4 hades aka hades going all out uses it
u think hades asked achilles for training
probably
kinda crazy that he considers what he learnt from achilles as his best moves
Achilles was pretty good at fighting
killed a bunch of peeps in the liliad
well then, gonna go finish homework to try to find where the hec patroleclus is before i get spoiled
duh
he died before achilies died in the iliad
also he is somewhere in hell. you know it's strangest how comfortable I've become with the term going back to hell after playing hades
Being in Asphodel couldn't possibly be worse than the tropics on a very hot day
Oh no problem btw, I'd like to be of help 
i like to think that somewhere in athens or the nearest greek city theres just a rotting stack of zag’s corpses
either that or theres stories about a random young man tripping and spontaneously generating a puddle of red water
same with ||perse, in her cottage|| somewhere theres just
Makes for a good fertiliser
she dumps them into the river because she really hates poseidon
poseidon doesn't get to use that river
I think the
spontaneously generating a puddle of red water
part is more or less exclusive to chthonic gods I think
also ||persephone|| still needs to be in spoiler tags according to channel description
instead of leaving a corpse behind they just disappear into the Styx
yeah but its funnier to think theres just 50 red toga wearing grey skinned corpses used as fire lighters because of their never extinguished feet
imagine being the guy who runs over a person and never finds their body
can u imagine being the person who litters your banana peel on the floor and it just vanishes the guy right behind you
good incentive to stop littering
you throw a banana peel and hear a gasp behind you five seconds later, you spin around and theres just a puddle of red water around it, greek citizens staring at it. everyone knows red water is the styx, meaning you somehow screwed up so bad that the god of the dead himself came down to tell you to stop it
five months later demeter is very pleased that zagreus helped stop littering
I can't get to fight || Charon 2 times ||. I see him a lot but there is no fight.
monkaS
I can't get to fight || Charon 2 times ||. I see him a lot but there is no fight.
he just makes sure to ||win the bet|| Kappa
what do you mean?
oh, nothing
i visited him every time I can
but there's no fight
every time I see the bag icon
sadly, there is always a chance.. maybe just bad luck
how many times have you visited him?
50?
@mental narwhal The Charon boss fight only appears in midshops, so if you're specifically gunning to fight him, make sure to always drop by those shops. The bag appears completely by chance so you'd have to give some time 
you mean Asphodel?
very annoying
mid shops as in
not shops before boss
charon always appears twice in tartarus asphodel and elysium
pnce before boss, once somewhere in middle
2
Yes I agree. Two is a very interesting number.
20% chance of the mid shops having the fight
why is he so hard tbh
300 gold plus discount is a legit incentive
hes honestly not that hard
attacks slow enough that you can basically just take turns exchanging attacks
Plus Charon is the ferrier of the dead. He should be same awesomeness as hades
until fo2
If you have Athena dash deflect it’s much easier
well yeah charon’s a god too, hes on the same level as thanatos and hypnos
makes sense that hes one of the tougher bosses
you can fight hypnos?
n. no
Yeah, I forget who but someone tells you that ||nobody in the underworld has had the gumption to even challenge Charon to a fight, not even Than||
I remember that line too
Think it’s when you first die to him
Hypnos maybe says it?
I’ve got a skelly up to the locked heart thing in codex, what do I do now? Keep giving him potions?
he'll eventually give you a quest to complete
locked heart basically means there's some sort of plot related thing to do in order to unlock it
most of them can be done naturally by just playing the game, growing bonds, and getting through all the dialogue
though if you really want to know how to unlock a specific heart you can find it in the wiki or ask about it here
Will it let me give him more potions? Or should I just keep playing and talking to him for the quest to spawn
Hey guys, does anyone know how to complete the eurydice and ophelia quest line ? I already have the task in my prophecy, have Nyx heart up till the locked heart. Open admin and have the conversation saying I can go to archives, but didnt say how
Just go there, there should be a little glowing dot like those narrator lore dumpling points
Since Nyx has already told you so
Then it should be available on the house contractor
anyone know how to unlock|| final sheild form||
@wraith tusk spend 5 blood on the shield, and have the spear's hidden form unlocked
is that for all things do i have to unlock each hidden form
I think it can be any aspect too, I don't think it has the same restrictions as the spear did
Then you have to wait for someone (in this case ||Chaos||) to tell you the awakening phrase
cross posting from reddit: || https://www.reddit.com/r/HadesTheGame/comments/jmhaus/epilogue_content_question/ || quick question for this screen on the || epilogue || is there any way to have this replay in the game, looking to make a wallpaper out of it
@wraith tusk check pinned in the channel
whats sheild called again\
you may also have to visit ||chaos|| once with the shield too possibly
what is the|| fated list||
It's a list of goals/quests to accomplish and you get rewards for doing so
Rewards being anything from darkness/gems/nectar to boss drops like titan's blood
um, does anyone know if there's a weird storyline where nyx is annoyed i have high hearts with all date-ables? just enough for me to get the || companions || bc neither meg nor dusa have been showing up at the house (for dusa, it's probably because nyx || has forbidden her to talk to me ||) in my playthrough, i've resolved a thanatos & hypnos storyline re: || lists, hypnos performance getting better so i could unlock his heart || and thought than would be free for convos but nope. he is still talking w hypnos so i can't...give anyone anything ^^;
i'm just curious if this is a narrative thing the recent patch was talking about. if it is, it's cool. if it isn't i'll...just keep playing
Death defiance is probably better overall unless in very special cases
I need it for the fated list
you've never had any runs where you beat him with 0 dd used?
with patroclus and a lucky styx + stacking shop items you can get 100% heal so its basically worth two dd
dark foresight will help a lot with just getting enouhg boons to steamroll hades
@grizzled siren stubborn defiance saves a ton of money once you get good at the game because you arent spending 200 obols for a death defiance
plus on high heats where you hav 0 healing its pretty much the easiest way to get back health
wait this isnt combat channel
oh and also on high heats regular enemy encounters can be as dangerous if not moreso than bosses so having whats essentially one death defiance to use every room is valuable
Id say as you get more experience in general the bosses become easier compared to regular rooms
Since Nyx has already told you so
@atomic forge , that's the thing, I don't see anything glowing in the admin room, nor anything with the house contractor. I'm on t hff e switch version of that changes anything
Did the extreme measures and got asterius and theseus new outfits.
Asterius' outfit reminds me of Mu from Saint Seiya.
Rocket Bull 
I want a Macedonian Tau Lambda
Often the best part of using the egg or Chaos aspect is Chaos' commentary lol
I like to think of him in his primordial basement as a sort of divine stream-viewer
For the creator of all existence Chaos is pretty chill
Oh boy just borrowed something from Charon... baad idea 
Chaos is a them, not a him, Lobster.
I mean if they think Chaos seems masculine, I think it's fine 
People think Chaos to be feminine (at least I did), when being described in mythology being a primordial creator and all, but they were never specific so I think it's fine to assume a Primordial Concept's supposed gender
Chaos' gender is Chaos
True
gender is Chaos
mood
You good there @normal kiln ?
lol
Chaos' gender is Chaos
@ivory spire This. Chaos in the game is gender neutral. Because Chaos.
Is the dialogue progression just RNG? have done 7 runs with shield now, post "endgame", with the aspects maxed out, yet I can't get the dialogue to unlock the hidden one?
||chaos and nyx also fully bonded||
Chaos' gender is Master 
Is the dialogue progression just RNG? have done 7 runs with shield now, post "endgame", with the aspects maxed out, yet I can't dialogue to unlock the hidden one?
@trail igloo I have to assume so. I’ve done over 100 runs and over 60 completions and I still haven’t unlocked zeus, demeter, Hypnos or Hermes hearts and have basically everything else already
I just beat the game for the first time last night, I'm so proud of myself ^^
Oop didn't realize there was a boasting channel lol
u need to get the ||feast|| for demeter heart, hypnos i suspect need some great hall upgardes or than himself since he not always there, and zeus u can just farm him in tartarus
Is chaos romanceable
nope
But they still love you 
or does it
The whims of Chaos are truly fickle, but I'm sure you hold some importance to them!
Chaos is a hottie that's all I have to say
✨Hi, O Son of Hades ✨
ok, that's a save
Who's that person? the photoshopped face
james vharles
reminder that zeus is gross
poor demeter, this is why i'll always pick her boons in a trial
in the game she isn’t, but in myth she is
demeter has a lot of voice lines about how she had her with a mortal man
Demeter hating Zeus in the game is a nod to the mythology
which is why she hates mortals now
Because Zeus did what he does quite a bit
"I just told her to get over her dead mortal husband lol"
-Chad God Zeus 2020
unrelated but supergiant stays winning with a canonically bi protag
Persephone isnt the daughter of Zeus in this game
this has already been said
man I just unlocked ||gilgamesh|| and it's pretty fun
Hold up a bloody second. Why was the last time i talk to patroclus he was ??? But when i read my jounal it suddenly says his name?
Im not complaining but when did that happen
@stray cloud there are two ways to learn patroclus's name. Either Achilles will mention it, or by reading this codex entry (keep in mind the codex in it's entirety was written by Achilles) Zagreus will remark about how he now knows Patroclus's name
Oh... that;s fair. I did give achillies a lot of nector because he was one of the few supportive people in the house
Ty
apparently, zagreus's uncle, zeus, is also his grand father
Well his mother is also his foster cousin
what's the easiest way to beat charon twice?
learn his attack patterns and fight him like a normal boss
he hits really hard but is fairly telegraphed
i mean, he's just another boss fight
I don't like fighting him in tartarus cause he does so much damage 🤷♀️
fight him later then
you dont have to beat him in two consecutive runs
you just have to beat him twice without losing to him in between
you can choose to challenge him only when you feel strong
the quest is beating him twice without losing to him in between
so I could beat him once
then challenge him again after 10 runs and beat him again
to finish the quest
I think you cant even fight him twice in a single run
as long as I didnt lose to him somewhere in between
thankfully, Supergiant bent the actually greek mythology for this game so that the Olympian Family Tree doesn't look as much like a Web
instead of Cronus and Rhea being the parents for all of the 6 original Olympians they made it so only Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon were brothers
while Demeter, Hera, and Hestia are all daughters of Hyperion and Theia
I'm fine with that. They had a strong understanding and appreciation for the myths, but they needed to adapt them in places in order to achieve what they wanted to do with this game ^^
yeahhhhhh I was tired of Greek myth being laden with incest and uh.... other problematic aspects, and this game really hit the itch
fun fact, that version of the family tree means that Helios is also Zag's grandpapa
but i do want to romance artemis
You can only do that as Callisto
I'd be happy to play more games in this verse... but I'd miss Zag, he's lovely.
archilles patro coop mode
this game would be madness with coop
I find it funny that the zagreus and dionysus confusion is explained by zagreus just lying to orpheus and then orpheus spreading the lie
oh, Orphic Myth
the fact that Supergiant included that as a side bit made the Greek Myth Nerd in me very happy
That made me smile. There are some clever nods to- yeah.
I was also very pleased to see bearded Pat and beardless Achilles as in the Illiad.
Some modern adaptations of Greek myth seem... not to like Greek myths. They bend too much, and for little reason beyond 'the story needs it', so important figures get twisted so much they have no resemblance to their sources. I felt that SGG had a real appreciation for the sources. I loved seeing their take on things and... I want moooooore xDD
oh two consecutive runs not twice in the same run?
You cant fight him twice in a run
Well we should, pact of punishment where Charon only lets you shop after you kick his ass once in every zone when?
Extreme Sales
Hey about the aegis secret aspect, do you need to spend 5 blood in improvements to the shields? Or does the blood you use to unlock the aspects count too?
check the pinned messages, everything is detailed there for unlocking aspects.
in this channel specifically.
I checked
It's five blood in non-Zag aspects
Thanks!
the best part of styx is when you have a wide attacking weapon in a small room
and just complete chaos ensues
Nyx is so much better! Hades is mean T.T
hades has his better moments just as nyx has her meaner moments. its not really black and white one is good and one is bad
Very true. But Nyx is better xP
therefore she's better
how do I trigger the queen's plan? i've maxed out every god with all the possible nectar i can give at least 10 runs ago, yet the prophecy does not trigger.
You might need to give a few gods ambrosia too, but its also RNG based
Have you broken the locked hearts? that's what you need
just keep talking with the gods and doing runs until it triggers
Check the pinned post in this channel
Hades didn't || fire dusa ||
Also, I've got 4 work orders left
100 nectar, 200 keys, 5000 gems and 25000 darkness
lots of farming -///-
||So? Nyx is better than Dusa. She's way more important to the House.||
||Without Nyx, Zag would have stayed dead.||
Without dusa the game would be less good
You really imply the game would be good without Dusa?
Just beat Hades fight for the first time
Epic
I was sad there wasn’t a fish on the surface
There might be 😉
Okay now this is epic
I love Dusa, and the game would be less good without her... but I'd miss Nyx way more.
So... curiosity.
...Am I the only one who thinks Zeus isn't that bad?
Like... he's not perfect.
And if like there is a huge character arc don't tell me I am still trying to befriend the gods
but honestly I don't see him as someone who is that cruel or evil, but rather someone who is genuinely trying to do the best he can.
It's more of like... the society they live in.
I don't know, it's actually one of the reasons I like this more than God of War
Again, society they lived in.
i mean, compared to the other gods
were they living in a different society?
was he his own society?
No more like in Greek society, these tropes were considered acceptable, even though they weren't really acceptable today.
How do I progress Hypnos story? I'm at over 100 runs, all other relationships are maxed, the only keepsake that's missing an icon is Hypnos.
Checked the pinned post
Okay so... hypothetical question again
Let's imagine that there is DLC for Hades
What god would be a good idea for a new boon?
of course I don't see them doing this, and I see people talk about Apollo and Helios
would rather have haephestus than daedalus
How would that work though as a boon? Would it be like Hermes where his keepsake doesn't let you contact him?
How do I progress Hypnos story? I'm at over 100 runs, all other relationships are maxed, the only keepsake that's missing an icon is Hypnos.
@urban cloak I’m in the same boat as you. From what I can tell, a lot of progression gets backed up when than is involved
the other problem is... how would the DLC god actually interact with the story?
the other problem is... how would the DLC god actually interact with the story?
@frail nexus Congrats, you figured out why DLC is very, very unlikely
They'd need to record new VO for every other character to acknowledge anything new they put in the game
And making new alternate areas is.... just as much effort as just making a new game
yeah I get that. That is whywe're doing a hypothetical
Well, if you're doing hypothetical then just imagine that new lines are added to every character
...they're avoiding doing defense down abilities right?
You mean for enemies? There is at least one that I can think of that works like that
But they're worded as damage boosts for you
then yeah I can't think of anything they can use for the 10th god
does anyone know how to unlock the sonorous and infinite themes?
im really far into the game but they're not showing up in the shop for me
Sonorous requires Orpheus bond, I guess?
i have all bonds maxed
No idea then
i suspect the pre-requisite might be purchasing all the songs maybe
but currently good riddance is bugged on the switch and cant be purchased
so I dont have a way to test my theory
oh wait
I just check patch notes and infinite + sonorous themes were added post-1.0
so they arent on the switch yet
okay that solves my problem lol
how do you even unlock themes
I've heard it was buying all the diamond upgrades from the 1st menu of the contractor but i've done that
dunno, they just showed up at some point
What god would be a good idea for a new boon?
@frail nexus Apollo forever~
@placid plinth its definitely not purchasing all songs bc i had the theme pop up and i've purchased like. only 3-4 songs lol
yeah I realized the issue was that the patch that released the theme wasnt out on switch yet
Just got my second win, I saw the fish in the surface too! My two bass baybees
Nice. Fish fear you.
how do you get the aspect of ??? from stygius?
how do you get the aspect of ??? from stygius?
@small bane There's a pinned message about the aspects, dude.
oh sorry i didnt know
No worries ^^
I do find it odd how Apollo isn't in the game.
@brittle gale He's the one god whose absence I felt, particularly given Artemis's presence.
I don’t want the fish to fear me I wanna get an aquarium for them all
I know the reasons why, but I still want him. And Hera and Hestia. xDD
In the Codex there is an enemy above Bother, who or what is that?
I wonder if they will remove the "Cannot get Attack boons" from Exagryph
@magic tendon it's ||king vermin/tiny vermin||. play enough in styx and you'll see it
|| I just got a cutscene where Meg is in Zag's room collecting her things. Did I screw something up or is this natural progression? || (Post credits spoilers)
You cant screw up
Okay.
am I the only one that feels very dissapointed in myself when using the pierced butterfly and Zag says "sorry than" after getting hit?
i feel dissapointed when i get hit, regardless of my keepsake
i found out that if you get impatient and spam the dash button after a death, zagreus straight up dashes out of the pool of styx leaving a blood trail and everything! it's really cool to see him engulfed in flames leaping out of the pool so i recommend trying it
Do we ever find out who the narrator is?
im p sure it's the same old man whose bust you can buy for the west hall?
The bust is Homer right?
The dash button after death I found out by accident pretty early on and I like the blood splash
very strongly
I thought earlier on (before completing the main story) that it might've been one of the titans trying to convince Zag to attempt his escapes for vague nefarious reasons, since many of the narrator's voice lines seemed to be egging him on. Also the whole "accidentally" revealing his mother thing.
Oh that ones new
I don't think I heard that theory before 
That'd be very interesting if that were the case
Which titan would it be if by chance it was though?
Cronus
perhaps! but the titans are nothing more than flavour text in the game
Yet!
perhaps the olympians struck down the titans in a series of sportsball matches...
You mean pyre? 
I think it'd be an interesting concept to play with. Judging how family is a major theme in Hades, bringing out the grand father from dad's side would be really fun to see
Dad side? You mean both side technically 
Coeus maybe? Wikipedia says he was an aspect of intelligence. He's also grandpa of Artemis and Apollo, at least in the original mythology.
Foster great grand father from mum's side?

as I digress, Hades calling Zag by his name reminds me of the time my friend got in trouble and their parents finally call her "child" again after many weeks of being disappointed
Crius and Iapetus have practically no info about them, and Hyperion and Cronus are already accounted for. Oceanus doesn't fit.
I mean it'd still be grandfather if Persephone were Zeus child, but it isn't that case in this myth
Also idk the take on cronus here, since aphro is born from zeus in the game,
Instead of the testicles
Of uranus
Which is like the whole weird cronus saga
I don't think she is? Considering she's still married to Hephaestus and sleeping with Ares, Zeus's sons
Lol she's literally zeus daughter in the game
All of them are
Except persephone, for game purposes
Huh, I must've missed that line then.
aphro's origins are never mentioned in the game, ive literally pored over all dialogue related to her and never found any definitive answer one way or another. its all speculation
Doesn't she get a line calling him dad when in the duo?
p sure she doesnt, i can check again rq and verify
Thanks!
dont remember if all the duos were released when i went through everything
She definitely doesn't
I mean like Tatz said, there is no where in the dialogue where her origin is stated and thus literally could be anything
So the Uranus thing might still be true
Mmhmmm
APHRODITE: Dearest, your lord uncle wishes to address you from our mountaintop, although I had assured him that the two of us, we had everything well under control!
ZEUS: Come now, Zagreus, the only thing Lady Aphrodite has under control is her long list of salivating suitors, am I right? Aphrodite, how about you bestow your blessing and be off, and I'll take it from here.
ZEUS: Young man, I know you'd like to get to know the comely Aphrodite face to face, or I don't know, you can decide once you arrive at last! He can decide, isn't that right, my Lady Aphrodite, hm?
APHRODITE: Why, I never, Lord Zeus! That sounded rather like a crass remark, from you! How shocking that the golden standard for the rest of us should have such words for me!
given the way they refer to one another i'm personally gonna say they're not related
Interesting
Then I take it back
Yeah that "Lord Zeus" confirms it
Since iirc they call him dad
she also tells zag "your lord uncle" while others like ares will say my father and such
tatz's secret ways of getting stuff related to game shall always be a secret
If we all found out how, tatz's shady dealings of Hades data would shut down
Id be willing to cooperate not take them down
them* down
double checking over my doc
Mb
Ahh yes
They should've had Logan voice Aphro
Now I'm just imagining Logan saying Dear Godling in a raspy voice
logan pls don’t talk about my relationship with than like that
Back on the narrator topic, another possibility I thought of was Minos. He became a judge of the dead after dying, and isn't mentioned at all in-game, which I found odd. The lack of any comments from the narrator on Theseus and Asterius kinda kills that theory though.
unless you’re putting on your mr nobody voice, then i’m fine with it
Now I'm just imagining Logan saying Dear Godling in a raspy voice
MMHMM
what if you
gave me the fish you caught 
"What's cooking chef?"
Silent OwO noises

what if we kissed... in the river styx
What if we kissed, in the barge of death 
I about to buy nitro, just to use the shade emotes outside, I definitely need more people emotes
hm yeah im not really seeing anything in particular i put down other than a mention of extended family https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rJOOmbCvlm2xd58rjdm1PHmEhsuDr_-NF53_Orxw6XI/edit?usp=sharing anyway thats like everything related to aphrodite and how the others perceive her and how she interacts with the others
this was an older thing i put together back in the summer when there was a discussion about her origins, trying to figure out if there was any solid proof to go off of
I need access to your documents full stash
is driving insane
updated some grammar and stuff but theres nothing conclusive so all we can pull from is how formally the olympians tend to refer to aphrodite compared to the rest of the family
Yeah it definitely makes sense zeus aint it
So I've just got the credits to roll. Apart from completion, finishing fates, housing and gifting /relationships is there any other goals or thing to push for? Is there an extra true ending?
epilogue
So there is more. Excellent.
the true ending is you befriending Dusa and giving up your silly ambitions
who needs a job when you have a gorgon head
if you give enough nectar to bouldy, you too can become a boulder
that’s the true ending
question, has anybody seen a little skull mark in the security log beside the "outcome"? if yes, do any of you know what it's for?||idk if this is game specific but it was beside "slain by REDACTED beyond Styx"for me on my 21st attempt...||
thanks! i forgot i tried it that run :)
Uh, guess I was right, ive never used but I've seen it a lot in the victory channel 🤣🤣
I learn a lot from that channel
Yeh
very nice
How strong is zagreus compared to the average gods (Any except Chaos/Hades/Poseidon/Zeus)?
Id say very weak
Like extremely weak
Since most of his strength comes from nyx mirror
Wait yorue talking in the actual lore
Idk, the lore in-game reflects somewhat the real ancient Greek religion, right?
It does, but I meant i doubt zag can easily beat hades like he does in game

Why can;t i stay forever with mom
This is acutally really sad
I dont want to go back to hell
Youre welcome to try
I will make an escape for myself. Dad i dont like you
Wait
Why is the window orange
I dont like this
you can still go on without adding difficulty tho, dw
But who doesn't want more diamonds and blood
Hecc yes, beat Hades for my third time
||I died to EM4 Hades last run and I came back and now he’s making fun of me saying “you must’ve forgotten to change the terms of the pact if you still have extreme measures on” like wow ur a meanie||
heh i had a weird situation yesterday where i beat ||pretty much all of the bosses in 1 go until meeting Cerberus in that room before going up to Hades|| and then ||the game dialogue was talking about how Persephone was my mom, even though I havent seen the dream sequence yet||
not sure if it goes in #h1-story-discussion or some kind of bug-report channel
i reported it ingame via f10 anyway
Jesus Christ, ||Charon|| is a warlord, didn't realise taking his ||money caused me to fight him||
Any tips to winning that fight? I dealt negative damage to him by the time he killed me.
he's completely open to attacks when he prepares his soul clouds attack thing
also his attacks are always the same and have a bit of a pattern to them
His oar attack has such high range and damage, and wouldve taken me what seemed 10 minutes to kill him
tbf i was still in the first island thing with no boons
so, i guess that makes sense then
@jolly ice Dunno if that's actually a bug, given that ||the dream sequence is a flashback that happens before the events of the game.||
thats a weird way to tell a story
it's not a bug
if you beat the game very early on it serves as a "wait why are things the way they are"
but if you beat the game later on it's more like "wait why am i doing this"
in a way its kind of making both possibilities legit huh
I find it infinitely amusing that one of the biggest plot beats is delivered via a pseudo 4th wall break.
Not really the 4th wall, as it's still internal to the game... but
you either beat the game in 1 go and its about Zagreus trying to ||figure out why his parents have separated|| or why he's trying to leave
wait which one @primal yacht ?
Like why does no one acknowledge the narrator despite Zag telling him to hush 
oh right
well i'd like to think Z has Deadpool powers
wait this is a new emote the heck

this wasn't in hades
It's from Pyre I believe
OH its that guy
oh ok wait his name was Tariq??
lord i've completely forgotten all of the character names except for best waifu Pathima lol
The real reason Supergiant won't make any sequels: they don't want to have to make a game whose title includes more than one word.
All supergiant games must have titles which are exactly one noun
and they're all simple real words too like Bastion, Pyre, Transistor
I can't wait for the cooking simulator simply named "Kitchen"
Which are all proper nouns in the games themselves
Plot twist: their next game will be centered around language and named "Noun"
Tactical combat grammar action
With a plot based around Supergiant Games themselves
Too meta 5 me
Narration consists entirely of secret recordings of Logan made over the past decade without his consent
Music consists entirely of Darren and Ashley singing in their respective showers
Spicy take (Darren if you're listening...): all I want for Christmas is a full cover of My Heart Will Go On in Skelly's voice.
that would be great lol
hey uh
I just got to what feels like the emotional crux of the game
I will be vague and put in spoilers
but uh
||I just got told to go back, after making it all the way there for the 6th or 7th time. and now I really don't know what to do. most of the other members of the house aren't available, skelly hasn't seemingly got much to say about it, and like. I want more content, I want more of the game to play but. idk if Zag'd be like hurpdurp gonna ignore what you requested of me specifically and go roamin again||
is there a way to progress the story without just. yeeting out of the window again.
Always yeet out the window
After talking to people that wish to be talked to of course
||I think you got unlucky with the rng on everyone not being there, but Zag basically resolves to ignore his mother's wishes. Partly because he's reckless and tends to do 'what he thinks is best' without consulting anyone (see leaving without saying goodbye to Than, or forcing Orphy and Euri to interact), and partly because... he's right in that the status quo isn't helping anyone.||
do you guys think theyll add Hera to the game?
Super Giant has not said anything about adding post-launch content, they are taking some time off after the release
So currently unknown
Doubtful, they've never added content post 1.0 to their previous titles
True indeed, although they havent really had a development cycle like Hades before as well
So I can really see it going both ways ultimately
I would forgive no more Hades content for Bastion 2 
if i understand correctly, i need to unlock the hidden aspect of the spear, and then i just need to follow the pinned spoilers right ?
How many keys
i need 20 more
there are a few prophecies that dump keys on you
200 gems then, from broker, or the proohecies
Aand asphodel fishes
Broker and prophecies are prolly your best bet in farming keys, and nectar
and i just unlock something that allow me to get some gems when i pick obsidians
There's no upgrade like that afaik, do you mean that darknes gain buff applied to gems now too?
I find it funny both hades and persephone really enjoy talking about ceberus
it's almost as if they care more about ceberes than zagerus...
as if...
Ok lesson learned the hard way. Don’t steal from charon.
are all the ||hidden aspects just heavier versions||
Most of them do tend to be a little slower than the normal ones, but they usually have some very unique features to them otherwise
I cant decide if I like the sword or the fists the most
Both feel pretty awesome to play with
just got destroyed by Hades for the first time, what an honor
need any advice?
Hypnos has that covered
Try to not get hit
Spam dash. When 2nd phase start try staying near a pillar
@potent meteor nah i'm fine i'm taking a stroll i'm having a lot of fun just playing this game, i'll beat it eventually
but thanks for asking
I know the perfect Sequel
Play as Artemis
Fix the relationship between Zeus and Hera
Why would Artemis care? Hera isn't her mother, and Artemis likes her own mother. Enough to kill many kids of a rival mother alongside her bro.
... oh
I thought it would be kinda nice to see the relationship between Zeus and Hera
maybe to actually fix Zeus as a character
It would be, but Artemis probably isn't the ideal protagonist for that one xDD
Then who would be a good protagonist that would go to Olympus?
Or leave Olympus
Since the whole theme involving Hades is trying to escape Hades... though it would probably make sense the game is about escaping or reaching olympus
or leaving olympus
...plus honestly it would be kinda hard to make it a rougelike game
cause if the character would die, they would appear in Hades, and then we are back when we are started
There are quite a few gods who come and go tbh, Artemis, Apollo and Dionysus. If you want a roguelike, Heph trying to get back up might work, given his mother yeeting him down due to ugliness.
Hermes is a psychopomp, so he's a great bridge between... everyone, really.
but again, how do you keep the fun and impact of Hades?
Zagreus' journey I mean, you can't just give that to another character
how do you recreate the situation where the character can't reach their goal
...you can't recreate that.
... I think this is why they don't try to do sequels
You could. Although you might just have to force the issue.
how about someone who wishes to climb Mount Olympus and join the gods
Poor, poor Hephaestus.
or like idk even slay the gods maybe he's tired of their bullsh*t
and like, dying would mean falling from the mount
i'm giving you the solution right now jack
yeah the character wouldnt die they would just like fall from exhaustion and fall down mount olympus
They are planning to make sure the greek gods stay in Hades when their time is up
No they're not?
Yeah they did
I mean, there are no plans for them to die anyway.
tThey said once their time is up, if they ever die, Hades will make sure that the gods stay there
If they ever die. As V said, they don't need to die.
Just yeet them down the mountain al la Heph.
yeah let's say
What would force him down?
Hera
.. the other gods ?
Hera yeets him down in myth.
...but this isn't a game about slaying gods, it's a game about reconnecting with family.
That's one of the main themes.
Family.
That's part of it.
im just throwing ideas around you were wondering what sequel would they make to hades
It's also about finding who you are and where you belong.
...Honestly I don't think they would make a sequel to hades. We want a sequel or an expansion, we want to know more about the world
... we want a sequel cause we love that world so much, of how pure and how hopeful things are
we made the trip
yet we don't want to leave.
They could make a sequel or expansion if they wanted. Or a spinoff game in a different genre. Or they could move on to something totally new. It's on them, really.
they could do the same thing for Pyre, Bastion, and their other games
I hate to say it but...
I think the game is perfect, so perfect that we want more.
I don't think they would want to do more expensions or sequels or DLC
-shrugs- I'd love if they did. I've seen some great ideas for DLC, and more Hades would be delightful. I hope for Hades-related stuff, but I don't expect it.
how do dusa quest
Dusa Plushie
how do i do her locked heart
Decorate the lounge~
Lots.
oh.
can we ask the devs a question?
if it then imma be disappointed
i feel like theres still a lot more they can do with this game
make up an excuse for Zagreus to actually be able to escape
Persephone and Hades' relationship is back
... and olympus is at least accepting Zeus
Plus Zagreus kinda is only trying to escape at this point cause he wants to see what the world is like out of curiosity and his job
... but we know that Zagreus can never escape so...
*There really isn't much to do. The only thing they can kinda add is like... the possibility of changing levels but even then that would take too much time
They can always change it
they could always introduce new gods
... but why?
"bro wouldnt it be cool if they added new story updates to hades lol"
"but why should they???"
Enter the Gungeon didnt need to add multiple major updates
Look, I don't want to be the negative nancy, but I am considering this like Supergiant.
but they did it anyway
These guys did a lot of stuff as is, and maybe they feel like this was enough to give a good game
From their past, nothing is going get added, but hades blew, I wouldnt mind some more story
so they can focus on their next game?
If they do that is fine
yes but now they can make it even better
But they haven't said anything
Rougelikes are the type of games that benefit the most from story updates
since eventually, people will get bored of running in the same locations with the same boons with the same weapons
I'm not saying they have to add anything
All good things must come to an end
Developers introduce new ideas to their games to reignite popularity and overall make it more fun
A recent example of this happening was with Fall Guys
Hollow Knight also added a bunch of major updates all for free
And I think we all know how popular both these games are
So did dead cells
I dont think people would complain if Supergiant one day decided they wanted to add new stuff to Hades
I'm not saying that.
Hell, it would probably make the game even more popular
I just understand that they are the type of people that wouldn't want to focus on one game
just because they've made 3 games with a complete story with no additions
doesnt mean this one has to follow in that path as well
Is it going to happen? Probably not. But isnt impossible
Random things the devs could add: ||Gardening: your mother asks you to take care of the garden on the Overworld and help her maintain the one in the Underworld already... but you can't. More Gods and Boons: this one is frequently requested and would fit in easily. Alternative bosses: Herakles? Achilles and Patroclus? There are loads of mythical monsters to play with. If you wanna get real risky, perhaps the Dread aspect of Persephone faces you down instead of your dad. New voicelines and mini-arcs, perhaps even new House of Hades characters.||
could just make the house bigger
could allow you to fight the olympian gods
I could keep going as there are a lot of options. It's just a matter of whether SGG wants to move on or not.
in sparring matches or whatever
... you can date hypnos
YES
Nah. I'd rather set him up with someone xDD
Hypnos with Alecto
He does like super powerful, dominant women... Seems workable.
set Charon up with Tisiphone while we're at it
Oh no
Nah, Charon has ||Hermes|| already
For real though
the only new god I can see is Hera
Cause Hera actually can bring some new story ideas
Apollo crying in the corner?
Hera, Hestia, Apollo, Hephaestus etc.
Apollo ❤️
Yeah
But my question is
let me ride the sun with Apollo
Which gods can interact with other gods
All of them wtf
all of them?
and cause more story moments?
Apollo is literally orpheus father
literally all of them lol
Hestia is a sister
also how do you get a role btw
Apollo is Artemis's twin too, and the Olympian she's closest to in myth.
Literally you can just add more mythology
..but Orpheus's story is already done
#bot-commands
Okay that's a question I had
You can add story
The game says demeter is the oldest god/goddess
Apollo can inspire Orphy and Euri to MORE AWESOME SONGS~
But isnt it hestia?
Dem could be a twin/triplet -shrugs-
Just cause the game is complete doesnt mean you can't add anything
why is this such a hard concept to grasp for some people
Lmao
Like I distinctly remember hestia being the goddess of the hearth because she spent the longest in chronos's stomach so she was digested the most or something
Could still be a triplet/twin.
Fighting a Titan
yeah the titans as well
THAT I can see a DLC sequel for
That works, along with everything else everyone's mentioned.
Nothing is stopping them from pulling a Percy Jackson and reintroducing titans
Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure the birth order is hestia -> hades -> demeter -> Poseidon -> hera -> zeus
And then like Zagreus makes it where the Titans and Gods become friends again
They could also add a living mortal for Zag to interact with or something
no
god no
think about it
DLC doesn't even need to be this big story. I mean ||another gift level and lines of dialogue would make me happy. As would fulfilling my gardening promise.||
These titans were so evil that the olympians had to cut them into tiny, tiny pieces so they couldnt regenerate and then were thrown into the depth of Tartarus
There are a lot of hands all over Tartarus...
those are just souls
Considering they helped Zeus out and then got thrown in a pit for it
Zag is such a fanboy of Herakles.
he mentions him once
A couple of times, actually
....but isn't Herakles still alive?
nah he died
Probably not
according to a conversation to zag and his father anyway
"why not replace Thesues with Heracles"
Theseus is great, but an alternate boss could be fun to, like Meg and her Sisters.
Just theseus with a blue head like they did for the bone hydra
ponders Are there other greek heroes?
