that's really nice yeah

flint ore
#

After finishing the true ending, do gods still have quotes upon getting their duo boons or nah? I noticed that they dont anymore in my first save file :l

storm river
#

I think they only give quotes on your first time getting the duo boon

open berry
#

the duo convos count as unique dialogue iirc

flint ore
open berry
#

no there's only 2-3 convo per duo

#

most of them only have two variants, some have three

#

i doubt your game is broken, you've probably just run through the available dialogue

#

i wanna say ares aphrodite might have had four thonk but i can't check that rn.

flint ore
open berry
#

have you gotten their duo at all? i feel confused, i thought you meant you've exhausted dialogue

So going off of the animation in announcements, is it fair to say the head chef being a blademaster in life and a cook in death canon to a degree?

@light thistle Lemme redirect the fish subject here because damn... it was my first surface fish lmao

very cool ^^

hello, i completed the ||Family Reunion|| prophecy, but i saw on the wiki there was a prophecy i never got called ||The Queen's Plan||, which was supposed to come before it. did i just get robbed of 5 diamonds?

sterile blaze
#

how do you do hidden text

atomic forge
#

|| on both sides

sterile blaze
#

||so meg is trying to become my lover friend and I want to know if I can choose someone else after I choose her. I think I'm going for the completion run, but I especially want all of the pets. I would also rather go with Nyx, but I don't know if I can do that after I uh go to meg.||

#

||I'm in the room right now, and she's there beating her hand with a ruler or whip or something and I have a choice. I really don't wanna screw up a run or anything so advice is welcome||

#

Jesus, ||I hope I don't have to reject Dussa now, that'd be kind of awkward. ||

||You can go with anyone, it won't affect your other relationships||

#

when it comes to learning the Lyre, I've only gotten the first lesson with Orpheus and that was a long time ago. I've been interacting with it before every run (since that's what I found online) and it still hasn't given me the next step. am I missing something?

mighty sparrow
#

nah, it just takes a while

#

I've only had one lesson I'm not sure if there are more, but after a while Zag just starts playing

#

took me a couple of runs after I could play for Orphy to acknowledge it and get me the prophecy

prisma swallow
#

you sure there isn't some interaction with Orpheus before I can get it? I'd say it might've been over 60 runs ago that I got the first lesson

#

probably more

mighty sparrow
#

I mean you should keep interacting with him whenever you can but I don't remember there being any

cosmic condor
#

Is zag already playing music or just strums

mighty sparrow
#

he said something along the lines of ||"now there are two court musicians in the House"|| which is what marked the prophecy as complete for me

prisma swallow
#

strums, but not the broken ones like when you first get it

cosmic condor
#

Because there was a delay for me when I reached the "he can play it now" and orpheus acknowledging it which completes the quest

prisma swallow
#

guess I'll just keep practicing it and talking to Orphy every run

cosmic condor
#

Hm then he is not there yet. He should play tunes you recognise from the soundtrack

jade turret
prisma swallow
#

thanks for confirming that I'm not missing anything

#

wait what

cosmic condor
#

But 60 runs is long....

prisma swallow
#

okay time to set up a macro

mighty sparrow
#

I usually would play it multiple times after each run just until Zag made a couple of comments on his playing

cosmic condor
#

Do you interact once per run?

prisma swallow
#

maybe 3-5

#

it's not like I stand in front of it for minutes at a time

cosmic condor
#

Yeah I did so too. To get his fed up comments like a real musician

jade turret
#

i turned on a podcast and sat there for a while just playing it

#

and that unlocked all the dialogue on subsequent runs

prisma swallow
#

a macro should do it

#

just gonna watch a yt video then hope it's enough

#

thanks for the help

mighty sparrow
#

good luck on your musical quest

brazen otter
#

||is meeting persephone at the end the only ending each run? you cant go to olympus right?|| i have a question :0

jade turret
#

are you sure you want that answered and spoiled?

#

without spoiling, i'll just say something different happens eventually

sterile blaze
#

man I'm looking forward to that something

prisma swallow
#

yeah he's already playing tunes. guessing this is enough now?

sterile blaze
#

I can't remember any naughty language but ok

prisma swallow
#

respect the 🤖

sterile blaze
#

fine fine, thank you for keeping such a nice and friendly place mr bot

mighty sparrow
prisma swallow
#

yeah that's fine

rocky dirge
#

I had Orphy so backed up he gave me three lyre progression dialogues in a row. It happens

brazen otter
prisma swallow
#

was just wondering because it felt like I should be close, but I didn't know I had to keep practicing until he actually starts to play short tunes

rocky dirge
prime mulch
#

they reduced the numbers of plays required now, so progress should be faster

rocky dirge
#

But it still counts playing it for the next tiers

rocky dirge
prisma swallow
#

I meant he went from light strums to actual melodies

prime mulch
#

yeah ntest branch

mighty sparrow
#

yeah that's what you want

jade turret
#

i completed the ||Family Reunion|| prophecy, but i saw on the wiki there was a prophecy i never got called ||The Queen's Plan||, which was supposed to come before it. did i just get robbed of 5 diamonds?

#

||Hypnos gets his autograph. I honestly didn't think it'd happen. thought they'd make it a running gag that he always asks for it and Zag keep ignoring him.||

||He just called the Bone Hydra, “Lernie.”||

dull prairie
#

is the story over when the queen returns ?

open finch
#

Not really, there's a bit more

dull prairie
#

nice thank you

mighty sparrow
#

||Nyx fired Dusa and then raised her voice for the first time in the game||

#

it was scary

dull prairie
#

||can someone explain to met what's the issue of persophone being outside or in hell ? hades told me that zeus give him her as a gift , but why would she be in danger or anyone else if olympians finds out where she is||

rocky dirge
#

Keep playing the game to find out

dull prairie
#

|| the queen has already returned , so i continue the game to know more , i didn't miss it ?||

rocky dirge
#

Gotta talk with Demeter and Zeus more

#

If you recall, the Olympians dont know who Zag's mom is

#

Think about why that is

dull prairie
#

u mean give them nectar ?

open finch
dull prairie
#

they usually talk for nothing with me xD

#

is it maybe because i gave them only one nectar each ?

open finch
#

Definitely give them more nectar if you can

rocky dirge
dull prairie
#

ok i will thank you

rocky dirge
#

You cant really complain you dont get the story if you dont give characters nectar

silent siren
#

lmao I haven't given any characters nectar past the first one

rocky dirge
#

"Hey guys, I havent progressed the story, why dont I understand it?"

rocky dirge
silent siren
#

I didn't know which characters to give

dull prairie
#

i was giving all my nectar to other characters

silent siren
#

and I wanted those diamonds

#

I'm busy escaping heck

#

but yeah, now that I know I'll probably prioritise it a bit more

dull prairie
#

i thought gods where there just to give boons

somber estuary
#

Is the trigger for continuing the story building your relationship levels with all the olympians?

#

I kinda did that anyway and went nectar crazy for a while giving it to everything

silent siren
#

eh, I've gotten to the credits without giving anyone nectar

#

but I assume there's more story after this

atomic forge
#

yup

#

gotta keep giving to the gods

silent siren
#

I will do that

dull prairie
#

wtf i bought extreme mesure in the house contractor but i already had it so i paid for nothing

open finch
#

? Do you mean the 150 gem Extreme Measure? That's additional heat

#

That's EM4

open finch
dull prairie
#

oh it's additionnal stacks ok

topaz night
#

OMG. I just got the convo for Arty and Aphro's duo boon

#

Maaan there really should have been a Arty romance option

#

But I guess that's hard when you can only talk while giving gifts lol

atomic forge
#

heart rend is so good on chiron

topaz night
#

I have Aphro special and Arty cast lol

#

If I had Arty special it'd be super fantastic though

#

(I also have Chiron)

storm river
#

I got Demeter legendary in Tartarus on Chiron bow

marsh sun
#

How do I learn to play the lyre? It has a diamond reward iirc and I want that. Orpheus gave me a lesson but it still Zagreus is still making off note chords if I hit 'play?'

open finch
#

Just play a lil bit between runs

#

Orpheus will comment every-so-often on your progress

marsh sun
#

oh ok, ty

drifting citrus
#

it takes a lot of interactions to get there, btw

#

so i'd do quite a few plays between runs

pearl bramble
#

Just got the credits, amazing dusa

fair shale
#

omg i hate skelly

#

5 titan blood for nothing

#

i was ready to cry

#

AND NOW I'M MAD

heady rain
#

maybe the true drama is the anger we felt along the way

fair shale
#

the true drama is the hours i spent farming them...

rocky dirge
#

I mean, it's a prophecy and it unlocks his heart, right?

#

So not NOTHING nothing, but....

marsh sun
#

It does give Diamonds which let me unlock the Erebus gates

storm river
#

and you still get maxed out titan blood on that weapon

silent siren
#

question: to learn the lyre do you need to spam it in ur bedroom?

light thistle
#

yes

silent siren
#

okay, makes sense

#

it's sounding quite good right now

storm river
#

yeah, you can't just play it once between runs

#

i'd recommend between 3-5 plays between runs

#

even more is better, but at that point it starts to get tedious

silent siren
#

okay

atomic forge
#

|| can we discuss hidden aspects in here? ||

rocky dirge
#

Yes

#

The answer is Charged Skewer

atomic forge
#

:0 ty i was gonna ask if chiron or rama is better? i just got rama but it just seems kinda clunky

#

i usually use chiron

rocky dirge
#

They are very different

#

I like Rama more but both are very powerful

atomic forge
#

gotcha

#

should i focus on building my attack w rama? for chiron i just go for arty special always

rocky dirge
#

Yes, of course

#

You should always be applying the special debuff first, though

#

Often, with Rama, the right move is to dash around the whole room debuffing everyone then chonking one enemy with a powershot that kills everything else

#

You still want to mainly always do dash-attacks, even when going for powershots though. Too slow otherwise

atomic forge
#

ooh kk gotcha

#

that sounds strong im gonna run it

#

ty for the tips!!

whole sable
#

ok so

#

this is the spoilers channel

#

why is everyone ||spoilering their messages||

rocky dirge
#

Some stuff is still considered spoiler, but mostly it's people tuning to the channel for the first time unsure what is or isnt a spoiler

open finch
#

That and there are different levels of what are spoilers. There's post-credits spoilers and then there's quest spoilers, then there's ||finding out Bouldy is the final boss||

whole sable
#

👌

#

makes sense

heady rain
#

oh yea the post 64 heat secret content

cursive fable
#

So I have a question about Dusa's relationship. I have had it maxed out of over 20or 30 runs now, had the scene with both ||meg and than in my room||, and no longer have any new dialog with dusa for about 10+ runs now. I play on the switch so do I still need to be patient or could there be a bug here?

#

im only missing her and aphro's little faces on my keepsakes

storm river
#

I think probably just RNG there

upbeat willow
#

yeah, it's unfortunately RNG, it took me quite a number of runs for me to get the bond forged icon with Dusa

cursive fable
#

oh darn, i mean I've only gotten all the weapons to heat 10, so i still have a while until I am done with the game, so i wont worry to much about it

topaz night
#

orders a mirror for the hallway

||"Reflect upon your many failings with that, boy."||

Like. Wow, what a jerk XD

#

That's juet petty as hell

wise hazel
#

Spoilers about story....

Why would the gods be angry at hades?

silent siren
#

lying to em, plus the whole thing with ||demeter thinking her daughter was missing and killed by mortals when in reality she'd just been hanging out in the underworld||

crystal willow
#

My friend is playing hades and trying to romance Dusa, and I'm just waiting evilly for ||him to get friend zoned||

primal cipher
#

Hey, I did the greater call of a spurned god on a chamber but the a overnight didn't unlock

#

Has anyone else had this issue? It's the last achievement I need

upbeat willow
#

did you use the greater call of the god you spurned (aka the god you didn't pick) during the trial of the god chamber?

#

@primal cipher

#

if yes, F10 it if it happens again ^_^

primal cipher
#

I did yeah, I even got a quote from Dio that was something like 'Seriously man?'

#

Thanks, I'll do that if it happens again

upbeat willow
#

no worries friendly

dreamy ember
#

what're the requirements for the like epilogue or whatever

rocky dirge
#

Max bonds with lots of olympians

dreamy ember
#

max?? damn

open berry
#

would make sense if you listen to the narrative. the whole issue is the tension with the olympians and potential souring of relationships should they find out what happened, so obviously you want that to not happen

#

and to do that you want to further your relations

#

once you start the questline that leads into the epilogue it should doubly make sense why you have to do that

mental palm
#

Question but can you romance thanatos again after you eased off

open berry
#

no

#

that convo is unique dialogue, it only comes up once

elfin merlin
#

Funny, I just made it with him

#

Also, I beat extreme measure Theseus but Poseidon said nothing :/

open berry
#

you're not guaranteed to finish subplots right away, due to how the dialogue works

#

keep trying, it should only take a few attempts

elfin merlin
#

oh okay

open berry
#

ideally it should only take a few attempts anyway

#

if not you can try turning off em3, do a run, and then turn it back on and finish a run and see if that unwedges the poseidon dialogue you need after that

reef yacht
#

Okay

#

How long will this take

#

||I straight up have every aspect maxed out, I got the aspect of guan yu, and I've been reloading artemis' dialog for like an hour. When am I going to get Coronaughts aspect?||

halcyon terrace
#

||Did you invest 5 titan blood into bow aspects?||

#

Oh wait I'm dumb lmao

reef yacht
#

@halcyon terrace ||I maxed them out||

#

lmfao

halcyon terrace
#

||Seems weird, maybe close and restart the game then keep doing it||

heady rain
#

have you talked to artemis with bow equipped?

reef yacht
#

||Yeah ofc||

halcyon terrace
#

I'd farm dialogue with the bow just to be safe

reef yacht
#

I have been

halcyon terrace
#

Hm, weird. Not sure what else you can really do

reef wing
#

So I ran into an interesting.. bug you might call it? It involves Dusa's plot line, are there guidelines for how much or which parts I should tag as spoilers?

drifting citrus
#

how do you mean bug

reef wing
#

The events were just out of order in a strange way, bug is probably the wrong word since the game still ran fine

#

In a single run it went from "post-max-hearts" dialogue to the bit where Nyx bans her from talking to Zagreus, which I had already done long before

#

While Nyx wasn't even in the house because ||I had just fixed the Eldest Sigil||

#

And now she's talking to Zag normally again

cursive merlin
#

||can you romance everyone (that you can romance)? no further spoilers than just a simple yes/no pls||

frozen jolt
#

yes

cursive merlin
#

thank you!

outer orbit
#

anyone got the whole chain of conversations for hypnos favor? I just don't get why I get canned speech most of the time and sometimes a random dialogue without specific trigger

unreal dagger
#

Thats just how it is

#

Random

#

Thanks to dear old than

outer orbit
#

but how many dialogues with than? I already got the one where ||he congratulates him for his work||

sterile blaze
#

watching ||Zagreas be pulled into hell by styx is so beautiful||

mighty sparrow
outer orbit
#

thing is I got it quite a while ago, and since then I only got either canned dialogues or misc stuff

mighty sparrow
sterile blaze
#

so how does Achilles know chaos?

atomic forge
#

So, correct me if im wrong but to get the epilogue and true ending I just need to beat the ever-living crap out of hades 9 times right?

carmine grove
#

10 times but yes

atomic forge
#

ok ty just wanted to make sure I got slightly confused

outer orbit
#

beating him 10 times if for credits. For true ending you || still need to reach the epilogue afterwards, done by advancing your relationships with a few olympians (including zeus and demeter) as well as hades and persephone||

gusty compass
#

i was also told you need to ||do another run after the 10 runs with 8 heat or more|| but not sure if this was accurate

open finch
gusty compass
#

a lot of the info ive been getting (was curious so looked up the epilogue achievement conditions) are completely different

open berry
#

for the record none of the story is locked behind difficulty

#

the only thing locked behind the heat system is additional bounties and the skelly prizes

atomic forge
#

Not really a spoiler but I just wanted to say I like how ||Hades|| comments on what weapons you use when you face him

zealous wind
#

@atomic forge you need to spoiler the final bosses name pls

atomic forge
#

Oh sorry

#

My bad

zealous wind
#

no worries

tepid tiger
#

does anyone know how you complete zagreus’ codex entry?? i have up to the point where achilles ||talks about zag treating him with the “congenial manner of an old friend”||, and after that it’s marked as complete, but it’s still missing the ||”Rumors swirl about the lad; about how he bleeds red like a mortal does. Well, if there's a trace of mortality in him, I am certain he is better for it. I should know.”|| part—for what it’s worth i have already beaten the epilogue, am playing on switch, but haven’t fully completed the codex/maxed my relationships with everybody yet

open berry
#

afaik the last requirement is completing the epilogue so idk what you're missing

tepid tiger
#

hm

#

i wonder if it’s a glitch or the very last part was added in the recent update (the one that hasn’t released for switch yet)?? it does actually say the entry complete thing but still ends with the ellipse that’s. typically indicative of the entry not being complete lol ,, either way not a big deal since it’s not inhibiting gameplay or anything lol

open finch
#

No I'm on Switch and I have that last part

#

It might be a glitch

tepid tiger
#

yeahhhh im thinking it’s probably a glitch if you have it

#

well! perhaps it will get fixed in a patch at some point lol! not sure if this is a large enough issue to warrant bringing up anywhere but either way not a biggie

late plover
#

got 40 darkness for doing the first run.
But, I noticed that if you give up before your first run. You return to house of hades with 40 darkness anyway. but it still counts as a run

#

weird

primal cipher
open finch
#

I- did I miss a dialogue? failbag ||Hypnos got congratulated by Hades on his good work, and Than thanks us for speaking to him about it- but I don't ever recall doing so?||

sterile blaze
#

Meg spoilers... ||So the implications are that they had the uh baby making process? Will Hades be a grandfather?||

outer orbit
#

damn hypnos, just let me unlock your favor already

#

it's frustrating that I cna't be sure if I'm far enough to hope that just letting myself die might get his dialogue to show up

unreal dagger
#

Just dont

#

Play the game normally

#

You will get it eventually

sterile blaze
#

I get that, even after 70 runs there's a crap ton. Not a bad thing at all though, patience will be rewarded

outer orbit
#

thing is I don't have much time left before exam period and I'd like to get it done asap

sterile blaze
#

rise and grind- actually go study

unreal dagger
#

You might still be missing some more stuff with thanatos, so I dont recommend suiciding

open berry
outer orbit
#

I got the dialogue with ||than congratulating for his work||

#

isn't that the last of than?

unreal dagger
#

Idk, maybe not

open finch
open berry
#

you definitely got it because its a dialogue trigger for the rest of it

#

you wouldnt have been able to proceed the subplot without it

open finch
#

Oh then Nova you just need one more thingy then

#

Dialogue

outer orbit
#

Wish I had a way to know what I'm missing

unreal dagger
#

Youre missing time

#

Sadly you can't just rush stuff

prime mulch
#

join test branch today for faster hypnos bond

outer orbit
open berry
#

try to recall hypnos expressing that thanatos said something to him, and he worries than may not like him anymore, "after all, he has other brothers!" after that zag will talk to thanatos, "i've got to say than, you're mean to hypnos, and that's coming from someone who's mean to hypnos a lot" these dialogues all set the entire subplot into motion

open finch
#

When Hypnos speaks to Hades again for you Nova, that's when it'll progress I think

prime mulch
#

no really, read the test branch patch notes

outer orbit
#

Wouldn't I have to redo the whole game then dusa

prime mulch
#

not rly

outer orbit
#

Iirc he also spoke to hades already

#

Something about his drawings being useful

open finch
outer orbit
#

Feel like he said that already

open finch
open berry
#

that one is the first interaction, theres a thanatos hypnos interaction after that (than scolding hypnos and saying he could lose his position) and the thanatos hypnos interaction after that is actually part of the subplot

prime mulch
#

fr tho, if any of them lose their job what would they end up being

open berry
#

the entire issue with the hypnos affinity unlock is that than's part of it has low priority and he tends to talk about anything else. this is a common issue people have been complaining about for a while, because it makes completing hypnos take so long. thats why on the test branch they tried to adjust the subplot so the necessary lines come up more reliably

outer orbit
#

@open berry what is the last of than's lines? I got the one where he congratulates him for his work

open finch
open berry
#

the one where than apologizes to hypnos should be the last of it. the actual unlock is from hypnos thanking zag for talking to than

#

the entire thing started with hypnos basically venting his concerns to zag and zag saying he'd talk to than, so it ends with hypnos then thanking zag for doing so

sterile blaze
prime mulch
#

yep

sterile blaze
#

hm, is it linux compatible? any shell script conversion?

outer orbit
#

if I get canned dialogues, is it a guarantee that I do not met the requirements yet?

prime mulch
#

idk man, i dont use linux

sterile blaze
#

I guess I could use wine, maybe I could be the full linux representation on the test team

open finch
outer orbit
#

yes

open finch
#

Is Than giving you canned dialogue as well?

outer orbit
#

working on finding him to confirm

outer orbit
#

alright I got the lock off

#

I did miss the last than scene

#

and with this I maxed him, hooray

#

I now have maxed all relationships

open finch
#

am still missing Hermes and Sisyphus but oh whale

outer orbit
#

'oh whale' shadesmile

#

I have all the steam achievements so codex aside the only thing I'd still like to do is h32

upper warren
#

I felt like I was having a great run

#

And then decided to borrow from charon in the second stage

#

Since I got curious

#

He beat me down from both of my revives and I died shortly after

#

But hey shop discount

sterile blaze
#

was it worth it

outer orbit
#

curiosity killed the boy dusa

upper warren
#

20% discount sounds worth enough

#

I also learned Poseidon + Zeus is REALLY fun with the gun

outer orbit
#

zeus atk and psoe spec ig?

mighty sparrow
#

the Zeus-Posedion duo boon is really fun to run

upper warren
#

It was the opposite
It was where shots with the gun knocked enemies back and lightning would strike whenever an enemy got knocked back

outer orbit
#

I see

#

try the same but with zeus on atk and a few lightning buff, see them melt

atomic forge
#

Besides getting companions, is it important to give nectar to anyone to progress unlockables like aspects or anything?

#

Like Achilles hasn't unlocked the spear for me yet.

open berry
#

affinity doesnt have any bearing on unlocking aspects

#

once you receive your keepsakes from everyone, the primary purpose to gifting is narrative events

#

you will get the companions eventually, yes, and working up olympian affinity will be needed for the epilogue later on down the road

#

basically if you want the full story, you want to work on your relations with everyone. if not, you can stop after receiving companions

atomic forge
#

I maxed Sisyphus but he won't let me give him ambrosia

#

I guess I work on Achilles and Megaera or something next.

#

Should I do the contracts that give run bonuses before I unlock the logistics room and the music stand?

rocky dirge
atomic forge
#

I don't see bouldy with a pop up.

rocky dirge
#

Then ya gotta keep talking to Sysiphus

sterile blaze
#

||so did meg and zagreas do it? or did they just make out? I"m so lost as to what happened during the cut out when you go to meg||

atomic forge
#

I defiantly sense some romantic tension between meg and zag

sterile blaze
#

yeah, it's awesome

atomic forge
#

just read Thanatos is ||romantic. I don't ship that.||

heady rain
#

||they did it and meg did some whippin||

somber estuary
#

||Death is the gentle one. The Fury is into pain play.||

unreal dagger
#

So is zag bouldy

mental palm
#

I did ease off on thantos cause most YT videos show the opposite

#

I wanted to see if I got any unique dialogue

remote lake
#

Are we talking about my ship Zag and Than

#

Lol. ANYWAYS I GOT TO THE GAME CREDITS I’M SO HAPPY AHHH

silent siren
#

congrats on the tunes

remote lake
#

I love the ||art of the painting that Hades gets.|| so gorgeous

silent siren
#

ikr

brittle shoal
#

Yoooo, I just hit the credits and I'm so emotional

#

Anyways, now to unlock all the side plots

silent siren
#

I got to the credits pretty much having given no one any nectar

#

so now I'm busy spamming it at everyone

brittle shoal
#

Ya, I guess it worked out to that effect on my end as well by accident lol

#

Hearing that Cerberus is happy bc Persephone is back T-T Seeing Zag and Hades on less antagonistic terms T-T

fervent sable
#

Damn I just got the credits - so damn good

#

Amazing ending

silent siren
#

damn

#

everyone reaching the credits today

fervent sable
#

Is the rest of the narrative stuff left just the side quests / companions and such or is there more for the main storyline>

#

hmm im trying to google without looking at too many spoilers but it seems there is an epilogue I guess?

silent siren
#

I'm not fully sure myself but I believe that giving the olympians nectar is linked to kinda continuing the main story

brittle shoal
#

Plus I wanna get to know Persephone more and whatnot

atomic forge
#

He talked about the spear. Yay. Now to the other weapons.

silent siren
#

is unlocking the final aspects of weapons random?

#

I just got the shield one but

light thistle
#

It's not random beyond RNG convos

#

the triggers are specific and predictable

#

you may have completed the pre reqs but the RNG convo may not activate on the immediate next run

#

or next 5 runs for that matter

silent siren
#

ah okay

light thistle
#

tbf that's entirely how the entire game works

open berry
#

its more that once you have met requirements for x bit of unique dialogue, its placed in a pool of other available unique dialogue, any of which has a chance to play

light thistle
#

just because you did a prereq

#

don't expect it to show up next chat

#

what tatz said tbf

open berry
#

and i say unique dialogue because theres a separate pool of dialogue for repeated dialogue that plays once you've exhausted all currently available unique dialogue options. the unique dialogue will only play once in a playthrough

light thistle
#

what you said is certainly more precise

#

:)

open berry
#

ive dug around enough to know :v but theres also a video that explains this fairly well too for people that dont know how the dialogue works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwdYL0KFA_U

How does Hades always know what to say and when to say it?

pretty informative

silent siren
#

neat

#

but yeah, I figure I'll get it eventually

light thistle
#

pog

silent siren
#

was just intrigued, not planning on rushing stuff or anything

open berry
#

oh yeah its bound to come up as you play LOL typically important story events/weapon aspect stuff is supposed to have more priority but that doesnt always work out

#

the dialogue system is pretty fascinating imo but its not perfect. but thats why they tweak things here and there when players are having trouble with certain events

#

like the whole hypnos issue rn haha

#

OH also dont forget that most? i think most of the final weapon aspects require that you've seen some previous dialogue about using them (the weapon), sometimes people miss those and that causes a hangup with unlocks

terse night
#

i just found something really cool, i happened to be holding the yarn of Ariadne when i fought Theseus and Asterius, and Theseus actually commented on it, hidden dialogue is neat

unreal dagger

#

I love this game more every moment, i just got to the credits and this is honestly one of the best games I've ever played

#

JUST FINISHED THE EPILOGUE BABY

#

And its not making me any less addicted to this game

#

I don't need to 100% it but I wanna get some of the substories tied up!

#

Like who the hell could have possibly hired skelly?

#

Just one skelly ambrosia away from that I hope

#

If I found out that it was Nyx all along, the most likely to hire him, even though when zag asked nyx about skelly she said she had no idea....then I will be sad that it was all for a goofy answer like that

open berry
#

well,,

dawn gazelle
#

man I am not even mad that you gave that one away. thats just upsetting and would've been more upsetting if I got more hyped to learn that answer

#

"nyx was uhhhhhhhh she was bluffing! thats it!"

#

😐

open berry
#

i wasnt even trying to give anything away lmao

#

i mean the house residents are pretty blatant when zag questions them about it

dawn gazelle
#

you said "well,," what else could that possibly mean lol

drifting citrus
#

well...

pearl bramble
#

On orpheus ||I've reached the lock on nyx and orpheus, is eurydice needed as well to trigger the contract?||

clear oracle
#

So erm can someone fill me in with the whole Ares and Nyx thing? I read like 2/3 of the dialogues and kinda missed the later part.
Yeah I skip dialogue. Sue me.

open berry
#

gasps

#

criminal

clear oracle
#

Did Ares quench his thirst?

#

Or the epilogue kinda the end of the saga?

open berry
#

the gist of it is pretty simple, ares wants to get in touch with nyx and learn more about her and the underworld. some people read it as a romantic thing. i dont due to how i personally parse the dialogue though. nyx acknowledges that the olympians generally look down on the underworld gods, and that ares himself isnt treated that well by his family, so while zag seems worried about ares's attention on her, she simply sees it as one misunderstood god reaching out to other misunderstood gods.

clear oracle
#

Yup got that part

open berry
#

eh post epilogue is just ares commenting that he learned a lot during his stay in the underworld, and maybe he should consider moving there lol

#

nyx never really comments on it again

clear oracle
#

Ok. So I actually got 95% of that.

#

Coolio

#

See, I can read. Sometimes.

open berry
#

lolol

#

ares does come off thirsty but since his demeanor is generally so cordial and polite in most of his interactions (even when he's threatening you), his interest in wanting to learn more feels genuine to me

clear oracle
#

I suppose. I mean he does tell everything to Zag so no intention to deceive I guess.

topaz night
#

Ares seems like a weird bloodthirsty psychopath but he's also like, really level-headed, intelligent, and genteel. It's... interesting.

clear oracle
#

He's the Ted Bundy of Hades

open berry
#

opens hands bc ofc ive asked about this before https://twitter.com/kasavin/status/1308416055052767236

@ahoymehearties @shoukais @DarrenKorb Hey, yes, we imagined Ares as having a clinical, intellectual fixation with war and death; we didn't want to make him an angry and aggressive guy, but more unnerving.

Christopher Guest's performance as Count Rugen in A Princess Bride sprang to mind as a specific reference.

#

its just refreshing for once to not have the same tired angry shouty man characterization everyone goes with, its dumb and boring, reducing a character to one trait is bad writing

frank nymph
#

hey m8s um does anyone know how to get the final hypnos heart?

#

I have literally everything else maxed but just need that 😦

#

Have the sarcophagus and the skull things that "scare the shades" but they still are there.. any ideas???

open berry
#

cosmetics arent involved in his affinity

#

keep chasing down thanatos

frank nymph
#

bruuuuh

#

is there any way to force him to spawn?

open berry
#

nope

#

he has a chance to appear if youve been injured in the previous..3? i think its 3 chambers of a run. no way to force a spawn

frank nymph
#

you mean like death defiance????? or hurt

open berry
#

you dont have to be injured in every chamber i mean, just that if you've taken a hit, he can spawn within the next three chambers

frank nymph
#

riiiiip

#

it's at the bottom of the pool too right?

clear oracle
#

He's a fickle fellow.

#

What pool?

frank nymph
#

the dialogue pool

#

he literally talks about stuff from 10+ runs ago over hypnos

open berry
#

uhhh his dialogue regarding hypnos quest seems to have low priority currently, yes

clear oracle
#

Idk, I just kinda gift and talk.

#

Hypnos stuff was indeed a bit later than most.

open berry
#

theyre working on trying to have the quest proceed more reliably

clear oracle
#

But not too too late.

frank nymph
#

I literally got the dusa thing from scratch and it still hasn't unlocked 🤣

#

like... wow

#

rnjesus help me pls

open berry
#

yeah its been a pretty common experience im seeing from a lot of people on twitter and such, hypnos is one most people finish out last

Question about obtaining the true ending

The for the true ending, is it mandatory to deepen your bond with the Olympians?, some sources say you have to do that so I just wanna make sure

marble frost
#

yes, all of them (or at least 5-6)

upbeat willow
#

It requires ||max bonds with 6 olympians, getting demeter to the heart lock counts for this. As well as a couple of other requirements I don't remember off hand|| @atomic forge

outer orbit
#

iirc, you also needed || to advance with zeus and max relationships with hades and persephone||

atomic forge
#

oh lord

#

my plate is gonna be full for a while

upbeat willow
#

||maxing persephone isn't one of the requirements||

#

@outer orbit

outer orbit
#

aight, my bad then

atomic forge
#

i have barley interacted with any of the olympians so i should get to that

outer orbit
#

keep in mind that you'll have to do ||their favor|| to max them

atomic forge
#

oh yeah isnt that like a quest?

outer orbit
#

kinda like a requirement, can be a lot of things tbh as each god has its own thing

atomic forge
#

oh alright

#

noted

outer orbit
#

also, the game won't tell you what you need to do

atomic forge
#

what

#

does it just

#

give you the quest

#

and you need to figure it out

outer orbit
#

you will see a locked heart and yes, you have to figure it out

#

that's it

#

well, there is some logic to it tho

atomic forge
#

alright

outer orbit
#

and well, you can also check the requirements on the wiki oc

#

aslo keep in mind that rng and dialogues priority is a thing, so even if you met the requirement the god might just talk about something else

atomic forge
#

lol

outer orbit
#

all in all, good luck

atomic forge
#

thanks

#

man looks like finishing the first run was only the start lmao

outer orbit
#

you have no idea how right you are there shadesmile

atomic forge
outer orbit
#

if you don't mind a few spoilers: credits are ||10 completed runs|| and then you can work towards ||the epilogue||

#

also, try to give some nectar to hypnos early on if you want to max all relationships , his dialogues rng are a pain so you might want to at least reach the lock earlier to get more chances

atomic forge
#

oh alright lol

#

i never gave him nectar

#

except at the start

#

of the game i mean

outer orbit
#

talking from first hand experience here, his was the last one I maxed because of that

...How embarrassing would it be if I found out just now that the Cast symbol is a sideways Hades graphic?

Yeah lookit

#

So in that one run where Hades lets you pass, Persephone returns home and there's credits, a lot of story stuff, do you get blood, diamonds even if for weapon aspects that you already cleared with?

prime mulch
#

u get more resources through heat

fathom current
#

Hades will not comment on things you buy or change if someone has/had a conversation with him.

#

Boo.

marsh sun
#

No I meant like I had already gotten titan's blood for the aspect of Eris (I think that was what I had used for that run) but was surprised that I got a blood at the fury, diamond at lernie etc.

#

oh so it was because I had gained a heat the last time when I cleared with Eris and now and I played this time with Eris but +1 heat?

atomic forge
#

yep, you can get bounties up to 20 times for each weapon

#

with heat

marsh sun
#

nice, ty

carmine grove
#

Actually there isn't really a limit for bounties for each weapon

#

Merely the heat level is the limit

normal kiln
#

they do stop at 20 heat

prime mulch

ye 20

glad frigate
#

So ive just finished the main story completely, but I can't find the ||resource director in Hade's bedchambers||. Do I need to complete one more one to trigger them to spawn?

storm river

I think it took a few runs for him to spawn for me

glad frigate
#

Alrighty ill have to do some more runs tomorrow and see how it goes, cheers

for me he appeared after I had a conversation with Hades about him

No prob!

I just realized there's a poster of Thanatos in the admin chamber

I thought that was Achilles/Theseus

Unless you mean a different poster.

is it? the clothing looks very much like Than

open finch

I think am thinking of a different poster or my eyes are funky

I swear it changes

but that's definitely than

open finch
#

Ye but I swearrrr I've seen a different one ;-;

zealous wind
#

also I like how Than and Meg's servant of the day pictures look really similar

rocky dirge
#

Than is also hoodless when he gets the Monthly Employee poster

atomic forge
#

I wonder if there's official art of hoodless Than

#

I mean, aside from those

charred finch
#

How long until ||Dusa gives you the option to give back all your Ambrosia?|| I've done about 10+ runs, she's fully maxed out but I beat the main campaign in the middle of it but now she's only giving me throwaway lines like "I'm sure you can do it!" etc. now that the "you beat the campaign" lines seem to be exhausted

mighty sparrow
charred finch
#

I think that's happened since the trinket has the small cute portrait

mighty sparrow
#

so you had the ||conversation in your room|| then?

charred finch
#

Nope, only the other two 😦

#

The other two people that is

mighty sparrow
#

that means it hasn't happened yet

#

you'll have that conversation first and she'll make the offer a bit later that one has happened

#

it does take a while so you just gotta wait it out

charred finch
#

She be playing hard to get ;_;

prime mulch
#

yeah shes stole ur bounties and hoarding it for her own, how selfish

prime mulch
open berry
#

i dont see how. wearing the weapons at the time of getting the phrase literally is not required.

#

its just that you need to see a previous dialogue

prime mulch
#

yeah thats y i said its misleading, he probably thought u dont need to wear it at all, but the second part implies that most weapon (not including the fist) wouldnt have the initial encounter requirement

open berry
#

i thought my phrasing was pretty clear, thats why i italicized the previously part

prime mulch
#

try to put the first statement after the secnd, that wil make it clearer imo

open berry
#

the fist dialogue you want, for example, is "Huh. You mean to fight with me bare-handed this time, short one? I'm not ashamed to say the Champion himself defeated me in such a manner back when we drew breath." you need to wear fists to see this. once you have seen this dialogue, you have a chance to get the waking phrase in your next runs

prime mulch
#

i knw that

open berry

¯_(ツ)_/¯

you got the phrase?

did you finish the run you got the waking-phrase in or did you Give Up

#

Are there any specific requirements for getting Nyx to unlock the other ("green") side of the mirror bonuses? Is it just random? I came over from a Switch save (couldn't keep waiting for cross-save) so I understand I kind of messed up things by beating the game early on (run #5) and continuing to win (I rolled credits run #15) - but I'm at like 30+ runs now and it still hasn't happened

atomic forge
#

i believe it's just dialouge queue and/or unlocking all of the purple side

fast pine
#

yeah I figured - whole mirror is unlocked and everything maxed but fated persuasion - I guess it'll happen eventually, just feels weird to have most of the secret weapon aspects unlocked but no green side techs

#

thanks

somber estuary
#

I had no idea there was a mirror switch unlock dialogue because I didn't even notice a switch button until I had long since unlocked it.

mighty sparrow
#

same

faint yew
#

in god mode it was 4 runs in, non-god 6 so i guss HC is 8?

open berry
#

you only need a minimum of 300 darkness

#

beyond that is just a matter of the dialogue coming up

somber estuary
#

Huh... hey is it maybe scripted that if there are no higher priority plot conversations with pops out on the snowfield and you're carrying Chaos' keepsake that his defeated dialogue be the one that I've gotten before without the Chaos keepsake where he says that we all should never have sprung from primordial Chaos or whatever?

#

Seemed kinda coincidental that I got it again just now while carrying the keepsake and shield of Chaos.

open berry
#

that dialogue is part of the prophecy for amusing chaos

#

coincidence mostly since you were using the keepsake

viral grove
#

Is there any special requirements to unlock ||Hades’ keepsake|| other than completing the game and epilogue? I’ve been told to keep playing until a certain cutscene but so far his affinity hearts have remained locked ;-;

left vessel
#

iirc u need to give him at least 2 nectar

#

then just play thru a few times until the dialogue appears

viral grove
#

I haven’t been able to give him any since the first bottle early in the game

I’ll just keep playing then, thanks! :3

Is the only requirement to unlock the locked heart just talking

#

Or do some people have certain requirements

nah just keep talking to them.

I mean some conditions do have to be met in some cases

#

||unless you need to have a contract unlocked like say in sisyphus' quest and the like|| then yeah you gotta speak to a few other characters to meet the requirements

Olympians have some specific requirements before their max favor can be unlocked too

does he have 3 health bars?

or just 2

storm river

Just 2 normally

wdym normally

There’s a hard mode version of the fight in which he has 3 health bars

and how do you do that

#

Finish the story, then buy the option at the house contractor

gray sky
#

ah

#

so i don't have to deal with that

#

how do i give nectar to bouldy

storm river

I think you need to give Sisyphus some nectar first before he lets you talk to and gift nectar to bouldy

gray sky
#

what is the last keepsake?

heady rain
#

the bottom rows in keepsakes are for companions/summons

gray sky
#

i do not mean companions/summons i meant the thing you recieve from people who you give nectar to

oh lemme check

i think its dad's

its dad's

Good thought but if you buy it at a well in styx tunnels i think the fishing point would show up inside before you leave

So....is it bad that I'm trolling my friend concerning the 10th win? XD

#

I told him to make sure he has a "stronger than normal" build because Hades will curve ball him? XD

#

....I never specified what the curve ball was though. XD

#

Am I a terrible person for doing this? XD

#

If you're wondering why I did this as a joke...on my 10th win, I had this amazing build on the Rail and I was decimating everything and I'm all like...

#

Hades is gonna go down fast.

#

And then I go outside and...

#

LOL.

#

No fight. XD

Hey gamers guess whos getting their face kicked in by ||hades||

Hades is not a spoiler in this channel

But yeah, welcome to the club

Ooo got it anyway Hades Stop It Please

rocky dirge
#

What's your setup

slate remnant
#

I dont have a Solid Build atm, i do have a few keepsakes to make certain that different gods appear but my last few runs have been using Demeter boons alongside Athena deflects and stuff

storm river
#

Which weapons?

slate remnant
#

I'm mainly using the sword and spear atm

storm river
#

Some gods pair better than others for certain weapons

slate remnant
#

Aah

storm river
#

I think sword pairs well with Aphrodite and Artemis, for the big damage multiplier

slate remnant
#

Is there any weapons that work nicely alongside dionysus? No reason other than i just think he's neat :) (and that intoxication damage was the real MVP for me in my earlier runs)

rocky dirge
#

Fast weapons work best, like Rail or Fist attack

#

Or Bow special

slate remnant
#

Ooh i could try the gun a bit more

#

The bow didnt really move with my playstyle and i know i really like the fists

rocky dirge
#

With bow, remember to never not dash-attack

Noted shadesmile

i love dionysus' stuff with the shield but that's just me being chicken and spamming special a lot

Hello

#

||how do i make zagreus get good with the harp?||

zealous wind
#

you have to play it a ridiculous amount of times

narrow crypt
#

oh

#

oh no

zealous wind
#

also there's a dialogue from orpheus

#

so just do it before you go on runs is probably the easiest way

mighty sparrow
#

also play it multiple times before each run

#

doing it once will take forever

marble frost
#

like, 210 times

#

shadegrief thinkin about how me giving nectar to achilles just made me more sad cause i cant for the life of me find patroclus enough to give him nectar too...

#

I knoe carrying his keepsake doesnt up any chances but im like... in my heart of hearts... maybe he will show up for me....

narrow crypt
#

i tried giving nectar to one of the god but it didnt let me

#

there wasnt a locked heart

#

and i had nectar

#

anyone knows why?

storm river
#

Already gave to them earlier in the run?

narrow crypt
#

yes

#

i thought you could give more than one

urban marsh
#

Not per run

narrow crypt
#

oh

urban marsh
#

Once per god per run. Can't give nectar in shops or trials either.

narrow crypt
#

i know

whos the last entry on others of note? is it persefone?

One more run till im 6 hearts with Ares. That's what i need for epilog right?? Max hearts with 6 of the gods.

atomic forge
#

@modern loom Like @glad frigate said, Theseus is a very known quantity to the Olympians. Zagreus is not, including the fact that Nyx is not his mother, which is the Olympians' impression at the beginning of the game.

modern loom
#

You're right, I was just wondering if Hades tolerates Theseus calling the olympian gods to aid him in battle in the underworld, or is not aware of it

glad frigate
#

Probably is aware, but just doesnt care as much because Theseus most likely means nothing to him lol

#

I mean, family relations are always gonna have some complications haha

modern loom
#

Yeah, probably! I thought Hermes was the sole exception (with his duty with Charon), but seems that Theseus is an exception as well.

somber estuary
#

Like, I think Hades doesn't care if the Olympians give boons to Theseus because he doesn't actually give a damn about Theseus any more than his capacity to maybe stop prince Z. And the Olympians are able to give boons to Theseus easily because Nyx isn't shrouding him like Z and Theseus is always praying to them so they can "find" his location instantly. I get the feeling that most of the... smarter Olympians at the start assume they have trouble seeing Zag because he is the son of Nyx, as far as they know. Whereas the ones who are in the know are keeping quiet...

marsh sun
#

What if Thesus tells on || about Persephone||? He's too scared of Hades to do that?

glad frigate
#

He doesn't know that ||Persephone is Zag's mother|| does he?

modern loom
#

I don't think Theseus knows about ||Persephone|| since he's a resident of Elysium. ||To my knowledge, only certain Cthonic gods and House of Hades' workers (Thanatos, Achilles...) were in direct contact with her and know her by her name instead of just "the queen"||. But I may be wrong though, I haven't finished the story yet !

#

So it's likely that he doesn't know and doesn't care perhaps

#

||(since even Megaera who has direct access to the house of Hades admitted that she barely even saw her, even less known anything about the queen)||

terse night
#

i haven't quite made it to this point yet, ||but once i get to a certain point with a characters relationship do i have to make a choice or does it all end the same?||

primal cipher
#

What was everyone's hardest achievement to get?

#

For me it was easily 'Bad Call', since call is one of the last things I go for and outside of boss rooms I almost never get the meter full

bright oar
#

I haven’t gotten butterfly achievement yet, highest I got was 26% on it

#

That run I lost some butterfly rooms bc I only got hit once in a few rooms

glad frigate
#

With ||unlocking the hidden aspects for each weapon, do I need to put in an additional 5 blood or is it 5 blood in total for the weapon (so it could count the 5 blood that was in there before I got the spear hidden aspect)||

marble frost
#

I think it's ||5 per weapon, like if you want to unlock hidden stygius you need 5 blood into stygius, on top of the 5 you already put in the spear since spear is the first hidden aspect and is needed for all others||
I mean, it's also written in that well thought out pinned message up there.

glad frigate

Ugh

Thanks for the info tho :)

Finally got around to getting more dialogues from Sisyphus and he finally admitted he was a jerk during his mortal life. I was wondering why he was being portrayed as such a pleasant guy (I really like him). Looks like Bouldy really helped change him for the better.

also having than-meg-dusa as the trio of love in the game fits with the greek idea of there being 3 types of love: romantic-sexual-friends

round ermine
woeful oar
potent matrix
#

but i do thinki remember a conversation about differences in love between achilles and zagreus where he mentions 9 kidns of love

woeful oar
#

Then either I have a unique download or you or your source missed a convo.

potent matrix
#

i'd have to go through my conversation screenshots for that since not even the fan wiki has that quote

potent matrix
woeful oar
#

Oh man, you've got screens of every convo? That's some serious business.

potent matrix
#

only if i was particularly moved by something they said

#

which was alot of times since the characters are simply amazing

woeful oar
#

They are. I unfortunately don't have any caps of conversations. shadegrief

potent matrix
#

then i cant really help you, but i can only say that there are more kinds of love talked about in greek mythology (up to 16 i think?) but those 3 are the main "romantic" kinds talked about

#

i could swear on a specific greek philosopher to have written about it but i'd need to go through my college stuff again to find the name... if that even was a certain philosopher hah

timber quartz
#

I hope this is the correct place to ask but I wanted to be sure I haven't missed something permanently. I know there is ||a flashback scene or something that lets you into the administrators chamber and that later after that you can unlock it with diamonds|| I've never gotten that scene yet and I check all the options at the end of a run but I'm a bit afraid because last night I ||escaped my 10th time and brought Persephone back to the underworld|| and wanted to be sure I can still get this scene and access because maybe I broke the flow of the story somehow?

#

Hi guys, a quick question : ||Is there some conditions to get the chance to start the boss fight with Charon ?||

#

I've been playing quite a lot and i'm pretty far in the game (finished it a dozen times already) but i didn't see the bag of gold to start it yet.

#

So i'm looking for an anwser that the wiki didn't gave me.

dawn gazelle
#

what kind of spoiler is that

#

I haven't played all of the game yet just a lot of it lol

potent matrix
#

honestly just go to the middle market in every stage, there is no boon or anything that can increase the chance of getting the bag of obols. it never spawns in the end market and is usually found in at least one of the three markets in like every third run i'd say

dawn gazelle
#

ooo never knew the bag of gold didnt spawn in the end market

#

I rarely go in the middle ones, just when I think I'm toward the end of an area

#

or if I need some health and hoping there is a sandwich

#

boy do I love having less than 100 gold and going to charon's shop hoping for a sandwich and I just have to continue walking without buying anything. I think one of the dice options should let you reroll the charon shop options

potent matrix
#

thats what the Fated Persuasion and the well of charon is for

#

does anybody know whether its better to buy health in the well of charon or in the store? never checked for the average price per HP

dawn gazelle
#

eh, if you need health that bad then just buy it lol

#

well of charon though doesnt cost a chamber you could've otherwise picked something better. well of charon just appears in the same chamber you're in without having to waste a chamber option

onyx spoke
#

also charon store isn't guaranteed to contain food

proud grail
#

Hi, dumb question, and I'll play long past it, but what are the explicit requirements for the true ending?

#

Oh, wait. Steam guide says ||10 victories|| and I just got my ||9th||. Doy

prime mulch
proud grail
#

But am I right...? Is that the only requirement?

potent matrix
#

yes

proud grail
#

Cool. Brb gonna go do that.

potent matrix
#

if you dont mean the epilogue, yes you're correct

proud grail
#

If I get confused again, I'll just slink back to the guide anyway

potent matrix
#

okidokes

#

have fun beating up|| father dearest||

lusty barn
#

Ok so, am I missing something on how to get Poseidon bond? I have caught every fish, have hundreds of fish caught over all, and he seems to be doing generic dialogue options now

potent matrix
#

did you get the poseidon prophecies?

lusty barn
#

Same with Ares except I still get backlogged convos since I never took ares much

#

yes

#

I have the prophecy completed

potent matrix
#

||of catching a certain amount of fishies and beating theseus in EM3 mode?||

#

both of em?

lusty barn
#

yes ineed 🙂

#

indeed*

#

him and ares just dont seem to proc

potent matrix
#

huh i got poseidon almost directly after i got the second prophecy done

#

but ares is a mystery for me too

prime mulch
#

ares needs you to kill stuff

open berry
#

ares can take a while to come up for whatever reason

potent matrix
#

i got ares prophecy done and over with long ago

#

yeah according to guides you just need to have done the prophecies

lusty barn
#

I even ||finished the Ares Prophecy (though it showed up waaaaaaaay after 10k kills)||

storm river
#

ares prophecy is easy to complete over normal gameplay

open berry
#

poseidon requires you catch a fish and then talk to him afterwards. if you get a poseidon boon first and then catch a fish it won't count, you need to have a fish on hand by the time you talk to him. not guaranteed to come up right away but last i saw i can verify that requirement

prime mulch
#

u can try to farm it with dying in tartarus while using ares keepsake

storm river
#

By the time I gave him enough nectars to activate it, I was long done with the requirement

potent matrix
#

had full hearts (minus locked one of course)with the bloody boy for ages until he even asked me to kill dead peeps

lusty barn
open berry
#

the minimum amount of fish you need in total is low, I think it was like 18-20, but if you catch one every run that's easy to knock out. but yeah the important part is you need to already have a fish on hand before you speak with him

lusty barn
#

oh I have all the requirements that I have read

#

thats why I am confused

#

Ares, not so much, I have a lot of backlog since I tend not to take him often

#

but fish in hand before first convo on a run might be it

potent matrix
#

do you maybe need to have a legendary/rare fish on hand to get poseidon to accept your ambrosia? i'm sorryi dont remember anymore either

open berry
#

fish rarity doesn't matter

#

the game only looks that you have a fish

potent matrix
#

huh then i'm stumped too

lusty barn
#

Ill try tonight then

potent matrix
#

well for the prophecy you need at least one legendary fish, so i assumed

#

have you unlocked ares' last heart?

open berry
#

nah unlocking poseidon's heartlock doesn't need legendary

potent matrix
#

gudgud

open berry
#

the prophecy was about catching every fish from every region, which is why you need legendary catches

potent matrix
#

i just oticed hermes and ares are my only ones that i havent maxed, now i'm sad

potent matrix
#

i dont have legendary fishes from chaos or the overworld and still got poseidon maxed?

open berry
#

there was one about that unless they changed it. I could never finish it bc I could never get chaos

#

i only got it once the surface fish became a thing

potent matrix
#

yeah chaos fishing without the charon's well fish point has become a legend hah

open berry
#

300+ hours no chaos fish

#

not even a fish in point

#

it's not like I didn't try lmao

storm river
#

And then when you notice the ding, you've already gone to the next region

potent matrix
#

i only got 5 chaos fishies before the chaos fishing patch note

#

which is weird but ok

open berry
#

no I never had a fishing point spawn in chaos, I always checked and waited and listened

potent matrix
open berry
#

you just gotta wait for his prophecy to come up

#

nothing else you can really do

potent matrix
#

i got that very long ago

#

even got the epilogue, just nothing

#

even forcing him and having the vial maxed, nothing

open berry
#

dunno then, war god's bloodlust is part of his unlock. he has additional dialogue after finishing it before you can give him ambrosia

#

if he's just giving you recycled lines you may have to try contacting supergiant or smth, unless you're on pc where you can f10 as a bug

potent matrix
#

well i'd assume 2 weeks of playing would be enough for the additional dialogue

#

thats sad

open berry
#

unfortunately nothing else to be done, theres nothing else involved in his unlock besides the prophecy and his resulting lines

#

dunno what's got you stuck

potent matrix
#

hmm hoped it would have somethig to do with maxing out aphrodite's lines or talking to nyx about him more

open berry
#

nope

potent matrix
#

ahhh sad

#

well i hope my hermes isnt bugged then

open berry
#

aphrodite, zeus and demeter are the only ones whose favours involve speaking to characters characters other than themselves (I guess dio if you counting gifting ambrosia as speaking)
