Or that

drifting citrus
#

or you simply missed it

lyric stone
#

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

lone mica
#

I just hit 100 escape attempts ||and I have still never seems fishing spot in chaos||

#

*seen

green elk
#

It's pretty rare

#

Chaos is the rarest fishing spawn

lone mica
#

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

grizzled siren
#

best advice i can give for getting chaos fish is taking the first gate you see and then dying

wooden galleon
#

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

rocky dirge
#

You can wait until SGG implement cross-saves

wooden galleon
#

heh I don't really need cross save just wanna try some build on PC

green elk
#

@wooden galleon the speedrun.com profile for hades has a completed save

compact quartz
#

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 ||

uncut rivet
#

||number 10||

compact quartz
#

So the 10 th run is free or the run after the 10? (11th run)

uncut rivet
#

the 10th run

#

or 10th clear

wooden galleon
#

@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

green elk
#

ahhh

rocky dirge
#

I mean, if you just wanna try out some builds as you said, you dont need that

wooden galleon
#

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

quartz chasm
#

I just beat the game for the first time (first win) I'M CRYING

#

WHYY

grizzled siren
#

well you see

#

crying is a natural reaction to saddness

tight nebula
#

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||

wooden galleon
#

Orpheus' lament?

tight nebula
#

Let’s find out!

grizzled siren
#

||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||

rough forum
#

there's three songs Orpheus will cycle through

tight nebula
#

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"

maiden pewter
#

does spamming the first level work for progressing toward the epilogue?

torpid vine
#

That is probably intentional, Bare

grizzled siren
#

I'd say it's unintentional as it's not a real boon

#

taking other calls doesn't show up as a replacement.

rocky dirge
#

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

#

Chthonic

#

Family favorite specifies olympian

timid fiber
#

i very much have been enjoying the times i run into ||patroclus|| while on runs

mighty tinsel
#

Yeah he's a good safety net

lone mica
#

he has legit saved my runs before like the run would have 100% failed if I didn't get his room

onyx siren
#

How do I get all the fish?

normal kiln
#

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

rocky dirge
#

I havent even seen a chaos realm fish point in twenty runs

onyx siren
#

Perfect catches?

rocky dirge
#

If you hit the catch button within a third of a second, you get a perfect catch

normal kiln
#

a perfect catch is with int 0.32 seconds of the flash

rocky dirge
#

It'll say so at the top of the screen

normal kiln
#

it’ll give you a chance of a legendary fish

#

exactly what that chance is has been a matter of some debate

rocky dirge
#

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

normal kiln
#

^

onyx siren
#

What is a perfect catch?

fresh cradle
#

I just want the legendary fishes to fill up my book T-T

normal kiln
#

anecdotally, those numbers seem way off to me

onyx siren
#

Oh nvm

#

Sorry i didn't read lol

normal kiln
#

but that could be confirmation bias idk

onyx siren
#

I'll have to do that

rocky dirge
#

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

lone mica
#

I have done 100 runs and I have literally never seen a chaos fish

#

idk what the chances are but it's low

rocky dirge
#

Chances are low, but you also need to have not seen a fish spot in quite some time to even HAVE the chance

normal kiln
#

yeah i suggest just trying to catch a lot of fish; you can get a feel for the timings

#

lol

lone mica
#

ya I believe it's 10 rooms is the reset bar the fishing lure from shop

normal kiln
#

“to catch fish, you should try to catch fish”

#

very helpful advice i’m dropping here lol

compact gyro
#

fishing does help to get fish

normal kiln
#

yeah this is like, hypnos level big brain strats

lone mica
#

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

compact gyro
#

good thing hypnos is smart

normal kiln
#

hypnos is a genius

#

follow hypnos’ advice = win

compact gyro
#

no one who has lists can be stupid

rocky dirge
#

Just dont get hit

normal kiln
#

^

#

it’s not hypnos’ fault if you got hit

rocky dirge
#

Next time you're about to get hit, just dont

#

It's that easy

normal kiln
#

he told you not to

#

plus yeah lists

#

i made a list once; now i’m at least 20% smarter

#

finally reach the epilogue

#

gotta say it was worth it dancefAyaya

it's time to try get the last statue from skelly, 32 measures challenge... shadegrief

subtle drift
#

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.

bright rose
#

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

you talk to nyx

Thanks.

hollow patrol
#

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?

unreal dagger
#

as long as you dont have a boon in the ability slot, shattered shackle works

hollow patrol
#

ability slot?

unreal dagger
#

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

hollow patrol
#

so why did this dude use family favourite with it? doesnt that encourage getting boons? @unreal dagger

hallow junco
#

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

#

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?

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.||

@lofty musk ||It can be assumed he found one at some point. I doubt Nyx gave him one directly.||

grizzled siren
#

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||

Depends on your playstyle.

My fastest clear is with the spear, my fave weapons are the fists and gun. Yours will likely be different

rocky dirge
#

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

halcyon mortar
#

Thx

lofty musk

@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

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

lapis cosmos
#

@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

jade slate
#

oh that is slick

stray cloud
#

when you give a bunch of nector to achillies to see if he talks about patrolucus but he thinks you are into him. :[

jade slate
#

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

stray cloud
#

probably

jade slate
#

kinda crazy that he considers what he learnt from achilles as his best moves

stray cloud
#

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

jade slate
#

spoilers

#

hes dead

stray cloud

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

Oh no problem btw, I'd like to be of help gloryBlush

jade slate
#

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

devout token
#

Makes for a good fertiliser

jade slate
#

she dumps them into the river because she really hates poseidon

strong sentinel
#

poseidon doesn't get to use that river

devout token
#

I think the

spontaneously generating a puddle of red water
part is more or less exclusive to chthonic gods I think

strong sentinel
#

also ||persephone|| still needs to be in spoiler tags according to channel description

devout token
#

instead of leaving a corpse behind they just disappear into the Styx

jade slate
#

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

jade slate

completed it ages ago

mental narwhal
#

50?

fervent skiff
#

@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 squirtnya

mental narwhal
#

you mean Asphodel?

jade slate
#

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

fervent skiff
#

Yes I agree. Two is a very interesting number.

sacred mulch
#

20% chance of the mid shops having the fight

red bough
#

why is he so hard tbh

sacred mulch
#

300 gold plus discount is a legit incentive

jade slate
#

hes honestly not that hard

#

attacks slow enough that you can basically just take turns exchanging attacks

sacred mulch
#

Plus Charon is the ferrier of the dead. He should be same awesomeness as hades

jade slate
#

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

red bough
#

you can fight hypnos?

open berry
#

n. no

lofty musk
#

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||

sacred mulch
#

I remember that line too

#

Think it’s when you first die to him

#

Hypnos maybe says it?

formal wave
#

I’ve got a skelly up to the locked heart thing in codex, what do I do now? Keep giving him potions?

placid plinth
#

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

formal wave
#

Will it let me give him more potions? Or should I just keep playing and talking to him for the quest to spawn

grim elm
#

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

atomic forge
#

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

wraith tusk
#

anyone know how to unlock|| final sheild form||

green elk
#

@wraith tusk spend 5 blood on the shield, and have the spear's hidden form unlocked

wraith tusk
#

is that for all things do i have to unlock each hidden form

green elk
#

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

@wraith tusk check pinned in the channel

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

wraith tusk
#

sorry i have that

#

yea yea yea just forgot the name

odd breach
#

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

grizzled siren
#

ugh stubborn defiance is so bad

#

how am i suppose to beat hades with this T_T

pastel ridge
#

Death defiance is probably better overall unless in very special cases

grizzled siren
#

I need it for the fated list

red bough
#

you've never had any runs where you beat him with 0 dd used?

jade slate
#

with patroclus and a lucky styx + stacking shop items you can get 100% heal so its basically worth two dd

red bough
#

dark foresight will help a lot with just getting enouhg boons to steamroll hades

jade slate
#

@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

pastel ridge
#

Id say as you get more experience in general the bosses become easier compared to regular rooms

grim elm
#

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

man I just unlocked ||gilgamesh|| and it's pretty fun

stray cloud
#

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

grizzled siren
#

@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

stray cloud
#

Oh... that;s fair. I did give achillies a lot of nector because he was one of the few supportive people in the house

#

unreal dagger
#

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?

placid plinth
#

learn his attack patterns and fight him like a normal boss

#

he hits really hard but is fairly telegraphed

static verge
#

So just git gud

#

ok

placid plinth
#

i mean, he's just another boss fight

static verge
#

I don't like fighting him in tartarus cause he does so much damage 🤷‍♀️

placid plinth
#

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

static verge
#

oh two consecutive runs not twice in the same run?

#

I thought it was the latter

placid plinth
#

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

rocky dirge
#

I think you cant even fight him twice in a single run

placid plinth
#

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

torpid vine
#

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 ^^

rough forum
#

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

prime mulch
#

but i do want to romance artemis

torpid vine
#

You can only do that as Callisto

rough forum
#

precisely

#

Callisto as a playable character when

#

cmon Supergiant, make it happen

I'd be happy to play more games in this verse... but I'd miss Zag, he's lovely.

#

I find it funny that the zagreus and dionysus confusion is explained by zagreus just lying to orpheus and then orpheus spreading the lie

rough forum
#

oh, Orphic Myth

#

the fact that Supergiant included that as a side bit made the Greek Myth Nerd in me very happy

torpid vine
#

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

unreal dagger
#

oh two consecutive runs not twice in the same run?
You cant fight him twice in a run

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?

Nyx < Hades

#

change my mind 🙂

torpid vine
#

Nyx is so much better! Hades is mean T.T

open berry
#

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

torpid vine
#

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.

bright rose
#

You might need to give a few gods ambrosia too, but its also RNG based

rocky dirge
#

Have you broken the locked hearts? that's what you need

#

just keep talking with the gods and doing runs until it triggers

I love Dusa, and the game would be less good without her... but I'd miss Nyx way more.

frail nexus
#

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

unreal dagger
#

hes not cruel or evil, he just likes to smash

#

a lot

frail nexus
#

Again, society they lived in.

unreal dagger
#

i mean, compared to the other gods

#

were they living in a different society?

#

was he his own society?

frail nexus
#

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.

rocky dirge
#

Checked the pinned post

frail nexus
#

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

inland umbra
#

would rather have haephestus than daedalus

frail nexus
#

How would that work though as a boon? Would it be like Hermes where his keepsake doesn't let you contact him?

lofty musk
#

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

frail nexus
#

the other problem is... how would the DLC god actually interact with the story?

rocky dirge
#

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

frail nexus
#

yeah I get that. That is whywe're doing a hypothetical

rocky dirge
#

Well, if you're doing hypothetical then just imagine that new lines are added to every character

frail nexus
#

...they're avoiding doing defense down abilities right?

rocky dirge
#

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

frail nexus
#

then yeah I can't think of anything they can use for the 10th god

placid plinth
#

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

rocky dirge
#

Sonorous requires Orpheus bond, I guess?

placid plinth
#

i have all bonds maxed

rocky dirge
#

No idea then

placid plinth
#

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

grizzled siren
#

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

placid plinth
#

dunno, they just showed up at some point

torpid vine
#

What god would be a good idea for a new boon?
@frail nexus Apollo forever~

open berry
#

@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

placid plinth
#

yeah I realized the issue was that the patch that released the theme wasnt out on switch yet

I do find it odd how Apollo isn't in the game.

He's a pretty big god

how do you get the aspect of ??? from stygius?
@small bane There's a pinned message about the aspects, dude.

small bane
#

oh sorry i didnt know

torpid vine
#

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

Thank you, I could’ve sworn I fought one before though

am I the only one that feels very dissapointed in myself when using the pierced butterfly and Zag says "sorry than" after getting hit?

unreal dagger
#

i feel dissapointed when i get hit, regardless of my keepsake

stray cloud
#

true

#

I do feel extra disappointed tho with certain keepsake

cold fog
#

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

hybrid rose
#

Do we ever find out who the narrator is?

cold fog
#

im p sure it's the same old man whose bust you can buy for the west hall?

magic tendon
#

The bust is Homer right?

#

The dash button after death I found out by accident pretty early on and I like the blood splash

open berry
#

implied to be potentially be homer

#

theres nothing confirmed but strongly hinted

fervent skiff
#

very strongly

hybrid rose
#

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.

fervent skiff
#

Oh that ones new

#

I don't think I heard that theory before squirtnya

#

That'd be very interesting if that were the case

#

Which titan would it be if by chance it was though?

unreal dagger
#

Cronus

fervent skiff
#

My thoughts exactly

#

That'd be really cool not gonna lie

open berry
#

perhaps! but the titans are nothing more than flavour text in the game

unreal dagger
#

Yet!

drifting citrus
#

perhaps the olympians struck down the titans in a series of sportsball matches...

open berry
#

hehe

unreal dagger
#

You mean pyre? thanthink

fervent skiff
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Dad side? You mean both side technically bouldy

hybrid rose
#

Coeus maybe? Wikipedia says he was an aspect of intelligence. He's also grandpa of Artemis and Apollo, at least in the original mythology.

fervent skiff
#

Foster great grand father from mum's side?

unreal dagger
mint dagger
#

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

hybrid rose
#

Crius and Iapetus have practically no info about them, and Hyperion and Cronus are already accounted for. Oceanus doesn't fit.

fervent skiff
#

I mean it'd still be grandfather if Persephone were Zeus child, but it isn't that case in this myth

unreal dagger
#

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

hybrid rose
#

I don't think she is? Considering she's still married to Hephaestus and sleeping with Ares, Zeus's sons

unreal dagger
#

Lol she's literally zeus daughter in the game

#

All of them are

#

Except persephone, for game purposes

hybrid rose
#

Huh, I must've missed that line then.

open berry
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Doesn't she get a line calling him dad when in the duo?

open berry
#

p sure she doesnt, i can check again rq and verify

unreal dagger
#

Thanks!

open berry
#

dont remember if all the duos were released when i went through everything

fervent skiff
#

She definitely doesn't

unreal dagger
#

Cause they all call him dad when in the duo afaik

#

So if she is, she will

fervent skiff
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Mmhmmm

open berry
#
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

unreal dagger
#

Interesting

#

Then I take it back

#

Yeah that "Lord Zeus" confirms it

#

Since iirc they call him dad

open berry
#

she also tells zag "your lord uncle" while others like ares will say my father and such

unreal dagger
#

Where do you check that tatz

#

Yeah exactly

fervent skiff
#

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

unreal dagger

Id be willing to cooperate not take them down

drifting citrus

open berry

double checking over my doc

the obvious answer here is that aphrodite is the narrator bouldy

Ahh yes

They should've had Logan voice Aphro

fervent skiff
#

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

hybrid rose
#

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.

drifting citrus

unless you’re putting on your mr nobody voice, then i’m fine with it

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

neat zenith

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

torpid vine
#

@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.||

jolly ice
#

thats a weird way to tell a story

lunar kiln
#

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"

signal swan
#

in a way its kind of making both possibilities legit huh

primal yacht
#

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 ?

lord i've completely forgotten all of the character names except for best waifu Pathima lol

primal yacht
#

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

signal swan
#

and they're all simple real words too like Bastion, Pyre, Transistor

#

I can't wait for the cooking simulator simply named "Kitchen"

primal yacht
#

Which are all proper nouns in the games themselves

#

Plot twist: their next game will be centered around language and named "Noun"

signal swan
#

it will be the best cooking sim

#

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

||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.

pastel ridge
#

Always yeet out the window

#

After talking to people that wish to be talked to of course

torpid vine
#

||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

200 gems then, from broker, or the proohecies

knotty garnet
#

oh nice

#

didn't see that

atomic forge
#

Aand asphodel fishes

#

Broker and prophecies are prolly your best bet in farming keys, and nectar

knotty garnet
#

and i just unlock something that allow me to get some gems when i pick obsidians

atomic forge
#

There's no upgrade like that afaik, do you mean that darknes gain buff applied to gems now too?

stray cloud
#

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...

copper saffron
#

as if...

stray cloud
#

Ok lesson learned the hard way. Don’t steal from charon.

potent meteor
#

are all the ||hidden aspects just heavier versions||

pastel ridge
#

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

potent meteor
#

makes sense

#

I have spear, shield and sword down

#

next I'm going for ||rama||

pastel ridge
#

I cant decide if I like the sword or the fists the most

#

Both feel pretty awesome to play with

potent meteor
#

okokok the sword aspects are amazing

#

I dont really like fists

proven gale
#

just got destroyed by Hades for the first time, what an honor

potent meteor
#

need any advice?

main hearth
#

Hypnos has that covered

pastel ridge
#

Try to not get hit

stray cloud
#

Spam dash. When 2nd phase start try staying near a pillar

proven gale
#

@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

frail nexus
#

I know the perfect Sequel

#

Play as Artemis

#

Fix the relationship between Zeus and Hera

torpid vine
#

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.

frail nexus
#

... oh

#

I thought it would be kinda nice to see the relationship between Zeus and Hera

#

maybe to actually fix Zeus as a character

torpid vine
#

It would be, but Artemis probably isn't the ideal protagonist for that one xDD

frail nexus
#

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

torpid vine
#

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.

frail nexus
#

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

torpid vine
#

You could. Although you might just have to force the issue.

proven gale
#

how about someone who wishes to climb Mount Olympus and join the gods

torpid vine
#

Poor, poor Hephaestus.

proven gale
#

or like idk even slay the gods maybe he's tired of their bullsh*t

frail nexus
#

But V, ther's the same problem

#

it's a rougelike game

proven gale
#

and like, dying would mean falling from the mount

#

i'm giving you the solution right now jack

frail nexus
#

Then if you die, you go to Hades

#

They made a big deal about this

proven gale
#

yeah the character wouldnt die they would just like fall from exhaustion and fall down mount olympus

frail nexus
#

They are planning to make sure the greek gods stay in Hades when their time is up

torpid vine
#

No they're not?

frail nexus
#

Yeah they did

torpid vine
#

I mean, there are no plans for them to die anyway.

frail nexus
#

tThey said once their time is up, if they ever die, Hades will make sure that the gods stay there

torpid vine
#

If they ever die. As V said, they don't need to die.

#

Just yeet them down the mountain al la Heph.

frail nexus
#

Okay, let's imagine he gets to the top

#

he beats Zeus

proven gale
#

yeah let's say

frail nexus
#

What would force him down?

torpid vine
#

Hera

proven gale
#

.. the other gods ?

torpid vine
#

Hera yeets him down in myth.

proven gale
#

game would end once all gods are slain

#

idk

frail nexus
#

...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.

torpid vine
#

That's part of it.

proven gale
#

im just throwing ideas around you were wondering what sequel would they make to hades

torpid vine
#

It's also about finding who you are and where you belong.

frail nexus
#

...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.

torpid vine
#

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.

frail nexus
#

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

torpid vine
#

-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.

atomic forge
#

how do dusa quest

frail nexus
#

Dusa Plushie

atomic forge
#

how do i do her locked heart

frail nexus
#

... I mean

#

She said it herself

#

she's busy and needs to fix up the lounge

torpid vine
#

Decorate the lounge~

atomic forge
#

o i see

#

how much decoration needs to be placed before she'll let me

torpid vine
#

Lots.

atomic forge
#

oh.

frail nexus
#

can we ask the devs a question?

torpid vine
#

Yeah, but I think they're on break from answering anything

#

What did you wanna ask?

frail nexus
#

... if it really is the end.

#

If they have wrapped the story they want to tell

restive latch
#

if it then imma be disappointed

#

i feel like theres still a lot more they can do with this game

frail nexus
#

... I hate to be that guy but...

#

What else is there for the story?

restive latch
#

make up an excuse for Zagreus to actually be able to escape

frail nexus
#

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

unreal dagger
#

They can always change it

frail nexus
#

... Should they though?

#

That's the point.

unreal dagger
#

If they wanted to

#

Yes

restive latch
#

they could always introduce new gods

frail nexus
#

... but why?

restive latch
#

this is getting annoying

#

being a contrarian helps no one

unreal dagger
#

Yeah I dont get it lol

#

Why not

restive latch
#

"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

frail nexus
#

Look, I don't want to be the negative nancy, but I am considering this like Supergiant.

restive latch
#

but they did it anyway

frail nexus
#

These guys did a lot of stuff as is, and maybe they feel like this was enough to give a good game

unreal dagger
#

From their past, nothing is going get added, but hades blew, I wouldnt mind some more story

frail nexus
#

so they can focus on their next game?

unreal dagger
#

If they do that is fine

restive latch
#

yes but now they can make it even better

unreal dagger
#

But they haven't said anything

restive latch
#

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

unreal dagger
#

All good things must come to an end

restive latch
#

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

unreal dagger
#

So did dead cells

restive latch
#

exactly

#

the "but why should they" mentality helps no one

unreal dagger
#

Why should they can simply be answered with "cause they want to"

#

Is their game

restive latch
#

I dont think people would complain if Supergiant one day decided they wanted to add new stuff to Hades

frail nexus
#

I'm not saying that.

restive latch
#

Hell, it would probably make the game even more popular

frail nexus
#

I just understand that they are the type of people that wouldn't want to focus on one game

restive latch
#

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

unreal dagger
#

Is it going to happen? Probably not. But isnt impossible

torpid vine
#

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.||

bright rose
#

could just make the house bigger

restive latch
#

could allow you to fight the olympian gods

torpid vine
#

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.

restive latch
#

in sparring matches or whatever

frail nexus
#

... you can date hypnos

restive latch
#

YES

torpid vine
#

Nah. I'd rather set him up with someone xDD

restive latch
#

Hypnos with Alecto

torpid vine
#

He does like super powerful, dominant women... Seems workable.

restive latch
#

set Charon up with Tisiphone while we're at it

unreal dagger
#

Oh no

torpid vine
#

Nah, Charon has ||Hermes|| already

unreal dagger
#

Uhm

#

Excuse me

#

What

frail nexus
#

For real though

#

the only new god I can see is Hera

#

Cause Hera actually can bring some new story ideas

unreal dagger
#

Bro there are so many gods

#

Hera

blazing venture
#

Apollo crying in the corner?

torpid vine
#

Hera, Hestia, Apollo, Hephaestus etc.

unreal dagger
#

Hestia

#

Apollo

torpid vine
#

Apollo ❤️

unreal dagger
#

Yeah

frail nexus
#

But my question is

restive latch
#

let me ride the sun with Apollo

frail nexus
#

Which gods can interact with other gods

unreal dagger
#

All of them wtf

restive latch
#

all of them?

frail nexus
#

and cause more story moments?

unreal dagger
#

Apollo is literally orpheus father

restive latch
#

literally all of them lol

unreal dagger
#

Hestia is a sister

restive latch
#

also how do you get a role btw

torpid vine
#

Apollo is Artemis's twin too, and the Olympian she's closest to in myth.

unreal dagger
#

Literally you can just add more mythology

frail nexus
#

..but Orpheus's story is already done

unreal dagger
#

#bot-commands

blazing venture
#

Okay that's a question I had

unreal dagger
#

You can add story

restive latch
#

THEY CAN ADD MORE STORY DUDE

#

GEEZ

unreal dagger
#

Jesus

#

Thats what an update is, you add stuff

blazing venture
#

The game says demeter is the oldest god/goddess

torpid vine
#

Apollo can inspire Orphy and Euri to MORE AWESOME SONGS~

blazing venture
#

But isnt it hestia?

torpid vine
#

Dem could be a twin/triplet -shrugs-

unreal dagger
#

Just cause the game is complete doesnt mean you can't add anything

restive latch
#

why is this such a hard concept to grasp for some people

unreal dagger
#

Lmao

blazing venture
#

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

frail nexus
#

... Actually wiat

#

I do see a story idea

torpid vine
#

Could still be a triplet/twin.

frail nexus
#

Fighting a Titan

restive latch
#

yeah the titans as well

frail nexus
#

THAT I can see a DLC sequel for

torpid vine
#

That works, along with everything else everyone's mentioned.

restive latch
#

Nothing is stopping them from pulling a Percy Jackson and reintroducing titans

blazing venture
#

Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure the birth order is hestia -> hades -> demeter -> Poseidon -> hera -> zeus

frail nexus
#

And then like Zagreus makes it where the Titans and Gods become friends again

restive latch
#

They could also add a living mortal for Zag to interact with or something

#

no

#

god no

frail nexus
#

Youss never doubt Zagreus

#

He's the Frisk of Hades

restive latch
#

think about it

torpid vine
#

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.||

restive latch
#

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

blazing venture
#

What about the hecatoncheires

#

They should get more representation

torpid vine
#

There are a lot of hands all over Tartarus...

restive latch
#

those are just souls

blazing venture
#

Considering they helped Zeus out and then got thrown in a pit for it

restive latch
#

they could always add more greek mythology characters

#

Heracles and what not

torpid vine
#

Zag is such a fanboy of Herakles.

restive latch
#

he mentions him once

torpid vine
#

A couple of times, actually

frail nexus
#

....but isn't Herakles still alive?

restive latch
#

nah he died

torpid vine
#

Probably not

restive latch
#

according to a conversation to zag and his father anyway

blazing venture
#

He should be on Olympus

#

Right?

restive latch
#

"why not replace Thesues with Heracles"

blazing venture
#

Theseus is perfect

#

He was a dong in the myths too

torpid vine
#

Theseus is great, but an alternate boss could be fun to, like Meg and her Sisters.

restive latch
#

Thesues is cloned and each one has a chariot

#

fair and balanced

blazing venture
#

Just theseus with a blue head like they did for the bone hydra

frail nexus
#

ponders Are there other greek heroes?
