ah, the problem is how can i see my playtime and achivements then
i just use the one with the bonus every time
Go through steam from now on
that gun sucks
Your hours won’t sync, but everything else will
Hot take
Ask in the tech support channel
All of them are amazing
welp time to 100% a game and then only have 7 inutes of playtime
i only put one blood in the first aspect
the thing is the game works without even communicating with steam, doesnt that make it extremely piratable
Every game is incredibly piratable
Yes
broo dang it dude
i was so close to hitless on first boss
;-;
i lost 4 hit points
I am easily beating anything with the shield super fast. But I get knocked out by ||bull & spear-man|| every time :/
Any tips?
F
Take it slow
When charging the shield bash it blocks everything
And focus on asterius
any way to find eurdaisdioasjdioasbd or smth faster
The fight gets 10x harder when you get to Theseus's second phase
Focus Asterius but be careful for his spin attack, only take pot shots when he’s not spinning. When Aster dies u only have Theseus and u just need to get behind him and spam attacks.
By default gameplay I was just hitting whenever I had the chance. Though that always had both of them low in the end
So I guess that dumb?
pot shots?
He is invincible most of the time :/
Stupid shield
||I don't think he has the spin attack on normal mode||
That's theseus
And yes indeed
Ohhhhhh
Well just focus him.
And Asterius is the bull guy, Theseus is the shield
Do I have to keep the minotaur above a certain threshhold or also just slap him whenever?
Whenever
Kill him asap
Theseus is an absolute joke when fighting him alone
Yeah but is it wise to avoid having both of them at 30% at the same time?
Yes
ignore Theseus completely until Asterius is dead basically
Don't trigger his 2nd phase
how to use the aspect of zeus on the shield it seems pretty cool
like it could probably do well with dionysus's boons but idk how to use it
F, she isn’t always in Asphodel.
how do i find her faster
^
It's hard to get used to
im final level rn
if i get to hades ima die tho cuz i dont wanna beat the game
and id die anyways
cuz im quite low
ye just died
Lel.
Noice.
SHow me ur boons.
Really?
What boons do u have?
i just wanna get acron
how many?
If you aren’t trying to win then what does it matter
boons
Maybe u can after she gives u.
Get the pom porridge.
why cant i gift
I pick the 2 rarity upgrade if I have few boons but I like them all. Rarity on next few booms if I have empty slots and I’m fishing for something specific to come up soon.
Prolly pressed interact before the option to gift her came up.
Huh, u have Nectar?
Not sure if you can gift on first encounter
Giving a gift to someone you haven’t met seems weird haha
alr so
i found her again
should i be able to gift now
tysm
i got acron now
how many keepsakes can u use at once
wdym
you can only equip one at a time and one per zone
so 4 keepsakes for the whole run
you equip a keepsake before going out for the run, and you can switch it between regions. the keepsake you choose will then affect the next region and you will not be able to choose the same keepsake again for the run
oh so like
a keepsake only works once per run?
i cant reuse the same keepsake for all 4 floors
Not all of them
You can only switch it with the upgrade from the house contractor
The god keepsakes work like that
You can
oh alr
should i just reuse evergreen acorn for all 4 floors
ppl say its rly good
But if you switch it once you can't switch back to it
Do you have the contractor upgrade
Then yes
isint the acorn keepsake good tho 💀
a lot of them are good
Yeah but god keepsakes are way better in the first region
You shouldn't really die to the furies
when you get the ability to switch keepsakes, its better to save the acorn for later floors and use god keepsakes in the first two or three floors to make a build
ok
oh is ee
i see
to get the boons
btw
ima prob do a shield build cuz ppl say they are good
and shield fun to use
so like
who should i gift to
Ares on special is fun
Everything kinda works on shield, I'm preferential to Poseidon
Go all in on the knockback lol
Except dio
you should gift everyone 
fill out your keepsake cabinet, then start building relationships
True, but even then it can work with blackout and other stuff
alma is right, just play the game as you would enjoy it most and you'll figure what works for you
on the zeus aspect shield dio special is godlike
what aspect do i pick for shield
Check pins for tierlist
i would say zeus, put dio on special, aphro on attack and ur good to go
ok also
do i needa unlock all weapons to use aspects
cuz i have titan blood but it doesnt let me use it
dunno
Yeah
ig so then
Need to unlock all weapons first
should i use my keys for that
i havent got any mirror upgrades or anything
but is it still worth
can always get more keys
Weapons > mirror ngl
youll probably run out of stuff to use them for first tbh
i just used 15 keys to unlock until thick skin
tbh keep playing and unlock everything as u go 
ok
should i just dump all into thick skin
and also put like 20 darkness just to get another use of magic
cuz thats very cheap
Use of magic?
U mean Stygian?
||can i unlock it before killing hades||
No…
oh
U need to have all the aspects for shield.
oh
And then something else but I don’t remember. I just unloaded it by accident.
question
should i get the ares keepsake and then do the ares shield build
pretty sure that ones rly good
spoiler btw
my badddd
and its pinned in #h1-story-discussion how to unlock hidden aspects
Go for it
ye
alr
like any other god
ig so haha
cuz like
that build is super good right
cant u just do like upwards of 200 dmg a hit
idk the ares shield build ur talking about
if I have a room with hammer (tier 2) and the chaos life gate thingy and step into tere. Do I loose the hammer?
Like if I jump down there
Yes.
For the rest of the run or can it reappear?
Or do u mean that u pick up the hammer and then lose it when u go in?
Bcz then u don’t lose it.
It can reappear.
the game will try to guide you to two hammers per run, if you really try to avoid them you can but most of the time you'll have two
You're becoming stronger too
Yep.
dude
how do i get a freaking ades so i can gift
i litterialy am floor 4 and didint get his blessing
Damn.
YOO
or Arti
i found his blessing
yoo lets go
Remember to give nectar
yes
Gud.
||i got the true ending
i don't want this game to be over||
i dont have a chance bro
sadly
cuz like
dude
90 hp
and 2 revies
BRO i might have a chance
so far hes almost half and i havent needed a revive yet
nvm lol mabey not
cuz ||i forgot he revives||
yoo i did it
lets goo
What’s the best keepsake for fighting ||Hades||
Is it acorn?
I think I might beat him this run
||i just killed hades||
Entering the final area with bow and 1000000 damage
at the end like 1/4 of his health i had to turn on god mode just cuz i didint get any good dmg items
lol
ye but i just wanted to get to the point in the game where u get pact of punishment
💀
my sir here is the thing
my bull rush still did 40 dmgh
and my normal attack did 25
Just have it on from the start or not at all imo
||THESEUS AND ASTERIUS ON EXTREME MEASURES IS INSAAAAAANE||
https://imgur.com/a/ytBnVvJ fellas im abt to try and beat ||hades|| a second time, at charons shop rn n i have 329 coins
pom-300
aphrodite boon-150
athena boon-150
heres my build, whatchall recommend
man why tf are all my pics i send Crunchy
personally id go for athena
If you like gambling take the Anvil
If not take Athena grab her Call or an attack swap if offered
nawww
well
maybe
i dont have flurry shot n i really like that
but i do need a call
if i get athena i can also get aphrodite so
You could
It’s alright you don’t have the best means of charging it
And it’ll have no poms
Attack swap from either Aphro or Athena is what you’re really after
But it’s low odds
Which is why I suggested the anvil
Since your second hammer is inconsequential
Drunken strike isn’t really ideal on the bow without flurry yeah
Even with Flurry it’s not good really
Id rather have nothing and take Shackle instead
Indeed.
Imagine ||Hades||
bwahh almost had him
those damn lasers
F
aight time to upgrade shield
any particular aspect yall recommend
Zeus?
Nah, Chaos
I say chaos
kay
oh god....chaos gate or hammer
too late
whats you choose
is charged shot any good
oh i chose hammer
Idk
Arguably the best shield hammer
cant believe i lost all my lives before ||styx||. god
managed to restore one w kiss of styx but blaaaaaah
now i have to choose between keeping acorn or switching to tooth
heading into ||hades|| with one revive on me but i got stubborn roots AYYYYYY
Yes.
tips on aspect of Beowulf?
Plan out what u want your Bull Rush to become, so think about what your cast should be.
hidden aspects are spoilers
where do i got then
^
third clear lets go
ngl it's more like, ||get good enemy grouping and know how many casts you need to kill an enemy||
ive looked but i dont see the listing 
Fair.
looks like you need to buy ||the fated list of minor prophecies and fountains chamber for tartarus for it to appear||
i have both wkjfisndifk
if u got it just now it wont appear right away, gotta do an escape/attempt in order for game to progress most of the times
ive had both those for quite a while now unfortunately
perhaps i am just cursed
no idea then, sorry!
its ok ty for ur suggestions
is there a way to farm nectars specifically
Not… really?
Fated Authority ig?
my lyre's playing good now but prophecy's not done
do I have to talk to orpheus to clear it?
:) finally done with ||returning with persephone to the underworld||
WOOOOOOH!!!
\o/
U in the credits?
finished with the credits just now
Nice.
:D
Prolly looking for Pat.
where does he go
U ain’t finding him for now, go on a run.
Hidden aspects are spoilers here btw.
Mirror guide: #h1-for-new-players message
Try to get Splash Dash and any cast first, up to u.
Then put some cc on your special.
k what keepsakes
U like dps or burst dmg?
Shackle, Gold, Hourglass Acorn.
U like dmg call or defensive call?
What?
for the build
Oh, my b.
Hidden aspects still spoilers here btw. 
@upbeat trench either start Poseidon Cast > Deadly Strike > Mirage Shot (bugged to do 100% damage instead of 30% on hidden shield) and avoid any other boons that unlock Duo Boons with those two until you have Mirage Shot OR start Lady Aphrodite Cast > ||Snow Burst|| with Privileged Status.
Lots of poms on your Cast.
OH YEAH!!!
Look for Grasp and Shot from Master Chaos, and check every Well of Charon for more bloodstones and Cast damage.
Best hammer is Charged Shot.
Those are the two strongest hidden shield builds.
Mind you, I could go into more detail for optimization, but that's the gist of it.
ok im tryna write this down
You'll want Fiery Presence since the goal is to just one-shot all the enemies.
so i first go for posideon cat and deadly strike
Yep.
Then look for Mirage Shot from those two.
And basically avoid taking any other core boons until you have Mirage Shot.
should i stack sudden rush and charged shot
Sure, if you can find both.
what about stygian soul from chaos
Hidden shield will pop out the bloodstones right away after use, so you can pick them up right away again.
Stygian Soul is a mirror talent, not a Chaos boon.
isint it a chaos boon
Hi there! If I could add something, maybe at some point add an Athena boon? They're helpful if you can't easily dodge attacks.
Nope. Soul is a boon from them, though, with whatever curse before it. That one's just max HP.
Grasp is +1 bloodstone, and Shot is +% Cast damage. Those are the two you want.
Sorry to interrupt.
Strike (+% Attack dmg) and Favor (+% rarity) are good, too.
Yes, they're Chaos boons.
cuz i hate picking them up
Yeah, it's pretty bad. You'll definitely want Infernal Soul.
You'll see when you play that it's way faster.
k
Athena is a good god if she appears naturally when running Hidden Shield, but you wont be forcing her, not worth it, also it's like the safest aspect in the game
here may i sent u a screenshot of my mirror
Oh for sure!
But I do think she's useful if found.
Chaos boon names basically always follow the pattern "[curse name] [boon name]".
one last question
so ima relist everything and tell me if i missed something
i first need a hammer with charged shot and hopefully sudden rush
then i go for posidens cast
and for boons i want deadly strike from artemis and from chaos strike and favor
is that all
Adding to what MiKE said, you also wanna keep your build rather slim so that your poms can hit your Cast. Too many pommable boons in your build and you'll often not get to pom your Cast when you pick up a Pom.
or is there anything else
From Chaos you want Shot and Grasp ideally
Strike and Favor are good second picks
i first need a hammer with charged shot and hopefully sudden rush
then i go for posidens cast
Can't really control what hammers you get too much. First priority is picking up the Cast boon.
Shot = +% Cast damage
Grasp = +1 Bloodstone
True, the cast makes or breaks the build
wait
You'll notice there are some other decent Attack hammers if you don't get the optimal ones.
can i just use the stygian soul and get grasp
Stygian Soul is not used with Flood Flare on the Hidden Shield
You use Infernal
Either way it doesnt affect the odds of getting Grasp
You'll do 33% of the damage that you do with 3 bloodstones, and you'll need to wait 3 seconds for that bloodstone to regenerate instead of picking up your 3 bloodstones within like 1 second.

so then let me list
i first go for charged shot sudden rush and posideon cast
then go for deadly strike and grasp and shot from chaos
correct?
Pretty much.
this means i want gods legacy mirror right
cuz i need thoes duo boons
and also family favriote
It's one Duo Boon, but yeah that's a good idea.
and family favriote is a good idea too right
Yes
The two gods you're using wont reliably give you curses to apply
Pstatus is used with the other build Nyaanyaa mentioned
what is the name of posideons cast
Flood Flare
k ima use codex to give me it and test it to see if i like this build
if i dont i will prob just find a dif build for me but this one seems like it would be my favriote
Well, it's probably the strongest build in the game. 
Btw if you're on pad, I recommend swapping your Cast button to L1/LB when playing hidden shield.
Idk never used codex mod. When I want to test something, I just do it in a run.
It's probably better to do it in a run, the build is progressive and it'll give you a better of idea of how it feels early on without hammer, and with low poms, and how it scales at the end of the run and instaphases bosses. Codex mod is also jank with Flood Flare specifically
The hammer is in like the items tab of whatever it's called
The one that has poms hearts obols darkness diamonds etc
Codex mod has always been jank as far back as I remember. Plenty of myths that popped up because somebody tested something with codex mod and it bugged some interactions. 
doing a hundreds of dmg
tysm
im not one shotting everything but i think its cuz i forgot to chance fiery presence
Aspect is probably not maxed yet either, I assume. So that's missing more damage.
You can probably comfortably play with High Confidence for another +25% global damage btw.
na i maxed the aspect
ok ye
btw
after adding mirage shot the other two still work right
cuz i still have
here lemme send sc
Is that a question? Not sure what you're asking.
Deadly Strike and Flood Flare still work, yeah.
im not sure how to tell if mirage shot is working
It's hard to miss to be fair lol
You should be one shotting most enemies assuming your cast is pommed up a little bit
ok
also
well its mainly i was seeing some dudes do like
5k dmg
and im getting like
Yo MiKe waa gud?
It takes a lot of knowledge and experience and a fair bit of luck to truly take a Flood Flare build to the next level
800 is very good
5K is an outlier
And it's definitely not one stone lol
hi
idk how but sometimes i do some insane dmg
like i just did 2k
ohh becase of crits
thats y my dmg is varying
btw
i think battle rage is also very good for this buil
build
it says whenver u slay a foe ur next attack deals 200% dmg
which seems good when u are trying to 1 shot everything
It’s fun.
In this case it's not beneficial because your Bullrush/Charged Shot is what's doing the damage, since you're dash striking to start it your Brage would be wasted on the dash-strike, which usually hits nothing.
Situationally procs when your dash strike kills something, likely a small enemy then you bullrush/cshot on a big enemy and have the boost but it's a rare occurance
I'd take Urge to Kill from or Blood Frenzy from Ares over Battle Rage
Blood Frenzy also umpommable
How can I progress with certain gods as I am stuck at the locked heart with them?
U have to fulfill a condition, it should show u in codex.
Aaaah so getting certain missing boons to fulfil certain conditions.
Yeah.
So I got the game today and died twice already
Any tips to get more resources?
Or more exactly what to prioritize
if you want more darkness, use the weapon with the dark stuff around it in the courtyard
About that, I only bought the bow so far, it was cheapest
How do I aim with it when there are 5 enemies on the screen?
if you want a weapon thats very defensively useful and such shield is good
controller or keyboard
I got a keyboard
just point it
So I charge it or spam shots?
so your bow
pretty hard to use to be hoenst
because to maximise damage
you have to shoot it when the flash happens while you're charging
which is iirc a 150 ms window
That took me 5 minutes to pull off
?
Yeah it's pretty tricky to get the hang of.
The powershot
yeah
i wouldn't recommend the bow in that case for a bit if you just wanna gather resources
as i said shield is very useful
if you use shield, don't bother often with the special, it's unwieldy
Cap.
So God Mode only gives me damage resist by 2% per death?
Doesnt sound that good
But will take anything that helps
it goes up to 80%
So thats a whole lot of dying
I mean
On average it takes about 50 attempts to get a single clear
And by that point it'll be maxed out
Also the game is all about dying anyways lol
Don't expect to not die
So I have to do Megaera boss over again?
Yeah
Part of the genre of the game
You start over from the start and keep going again
where does this come from
There are external upgrades that make it easier such as the mirror
Idk I've just heard it around a lot
And 50 isn't like unreasonable tbh
People take longer, people take shorter
Like I took 23 and some take more than like 70 or something
heard some people take like 6
First save, 76 attempts. Second save, 12 attempts.
mine was also 23 lol
apparently i didnt even have any ps/ff
Someone took like 7 here yeah
But also like some people are just naturally talented lmao
Or like transfered skills from other games
I mean it def gets easier lmao
Took me 4 attempts on the other save
i mean idk how id fare with what amounts to like ||ri2 or 3||
||i also could never ever win without beam, carries me every time||
||crystal beam?||
i nearly beat elysium boss 1st try the other day
human dude isn't a threat really, so i just focused minos
Well the rest of the mirror helps with speed tbh, you realistically only need DDs and another dash to clear
Yeah dark foresight is amazing but you can get away with a lot of stuff early game if you have a lot of talent
Nah I run ||single dash for that increased dodge and attack||
Well it's objectively worse but you do you lol
does movement speed effect bull rush? 🤔
Shouldn't
Pretty much yeah
I don't panic dodge everywhere. I time my dodges to avoid damage and position myself well. I can typically make it to ||Elysium|| without getting touched.
you vs ||hades|| lol
You don't need 50% dodge chance if you have an extra dash for 100% dodge chance
And the damage is whatever tbh it's a small window
2 seconds isn't it
Idk
||Hades|| is a non issue for me
||low heat|| moment
on ||fo2||?
Dodge attack, get increased, dodge special or attack for the increased damage, profit
||16 heat runs currently|| but thanks
so you intentionally put yourself in harm's way
Yes siiiirrr
like you've done 16?
That's low lol
Like not to bash on you or anything, but it's an objectively low number lol
||32 is even considered mid heat lol, we just consider it high heat because a lot of people struggle with it||
In other words, git gud
Just play whatever is fun and do more runs, honestly. You'll get resources pretty naturally.
Sounds an awful lot like you two are bashing me. Everyone plays the game differently. I simply stated that I typically run the single dash and now I'm getting flamed for it.
||i mean 32 is exactly the middle ||
And you'll learn what the enemies do, what the different boons are, etc.
the issue is this is in the new player channel and you're giving what's generally considered bad advice
im not an expert or anyhting
I did not give it as advice. I simply stated my reasoning for using it.
Nothing wrong with playing with Ruthless Reflex.
someone will see you doing that thing and say "well it worked for them"
It does work for me, and it might work for them. The crazy thing about this game, there is no one way to play. WOW
I'd say telling @compact tiger to not talk about using Ruthless Reflex is more of an issue.

How do you check to see how many attempts it took to clear once
You'll need to visit the Archive. One of the shelves.
There's no "quality requirement" for giving others advice here either.
Huh?
Gotta scroll through all your runs up to your very first clear to see how many attempts it took you.
Unfortunately.
Gotchu
Which can take forever if you have a lot of runs. 
i put it in the other channl
What is that emoji
I see it a lot
Lady Aphrodite.
I still don't understand.
Mewmew is a big Aphro fan lol, I actually have a note about you @gray haven "Lady Aphrodite Zealot"
in #h1-discussion about achilles
She said m her high priestess and her apostle.
I wanna do a poll
Sounds like a Hozier line 
people love her cause she gives them ddash
I mean, she is the first god you encounter... kind of sets up the rest of the game lol
So this is not Aphrodite
But you just said it’s tizo
That is also Lady Aphrodite.
The voice actors are the same lol
it's john fitzgerald kennedy]
Lady Aphrodite is Lady Aphrodite. Lady Aphrodite is the real person, Ti'zo is the character she plays.
Mewmew, you're confusing them
goes by a lot of nicknames
That is correct.
She plays herself in Hades.

It says Courtney Vinyes plays Aphrodite
false
Vineys.
Yes
That's one of Lady Aphrodite's characters.
I’m being gaslighted
Hmm? What are you talking about?
Everything I said is true.
So Courtney Vineys’s nickname is Lady Aphrodite
No. Courtney is a character that Lady Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, plays.
I don't know what's so difficult to understand.
Gotchu
Now it makes sens e
Does supergiant pay lady Aphrodite or is it just a boon she’s offering
m her high priestess, so you can trust me. She confirmed to me that it's true.
she's very kind
That's not for mortals like yourself to know.

Sometimes when you type “I’m” the “I’” drops
What makes you think I’m a mortal?
If you weren't, you wouldn't need to ask.
I’m sure lady Aphrodite would like to keep her affairs private
So Dusa is also Lady Aphrodite?
Yes.
*lady Aphrodite is Dusa
According to her high priestess
So Megaera is kicking my ass
As per usual.
She has AoE attacks with bigger range than my sword
So I guess the bow can outrange her?
the circle where meg is the center rigth
Will have to get to her again
So what do I aim for when choosing rooms?
From what I seen gold coins aint being kept post death
You'll want to empty-dash to evade her melee attacks.
Empty dashes are fully invincible.
Meaning, no attack or anything mid-dash.
How do I do empty dashes?
Don't Dash Strike
Ah so my usual dash
Yeah.
If you do a Dash-Strike or Cast or anything during the dash, you lose the invincibility.
Getting some distance from Meg when she readies her whip for her AOE attack can also help. And then she takes a bit to recover after her attack, so you can get some hits in.
I seen the charged bow attacks one shot most small mobs, how much does it do on meg?
I mean I have damage numbers off
Definitely not enough to one-shot her phases unless you get a very lucky speedrun build in Tartarus.
I did beat her only once with the lifesteal boon
Well, you'll get better at fighting her with more practice, and you'll get a lot stronger with mirror upgrades and stuff.
Soon enough, you'll be beating her pretty consistently.
Plus I got to 30% damage resist with god mode
Tbh right now, there's not really much to do except play the game and try out different boons and what they do, learn enemy behavior, unlock weapons and mirror talents, stuff like that.
If you have some god keepsakes already, you can check my newbie build guide that's pinned here to get you started with like a solid core for your builds from which you can try out stuff.
Yeah don't worry about boons being a newbie
Or builds
Just play the game and learn the enemies,all that'll come
And don't feel too discouraged if you die a lot. It's the only way to get better
||is there an option to STEAL from charons shop???? lmfaooo||
||Yes, but be prepared to get decimated.||
||You sir, are evil.||
How do you get the option to do this
Ok
||i could never steal from him hes my BUDDY||
also yeah ive cleared like 3 times so it may take a while to show up
22% what
also AAAAGH almost had another clear but died at the last moment ffs
check 3rd pin in #h1-high-heat-strategies, dont need to have high heat but the pic is still helpful
I personally started with ||the last pact which reduces your max time||
For that one ||pausing the game when making decisions helps with not wasting any time||
avoid ||calisthenics program (max health), jury summons (more enemies), forced overtime (faster enemies), heightened security (trap damage), approval process (less boon choices), routine inspection (deactivates mirror) until you're doing like >16 at least||
||js might be fine||
There's ||a fated list achievement that requires you to win with each and every one. I forced myself to do it and it was a fun challenge||
not all at the same time though
lol ofc
A little bit in ||hard labour or lasting consequences|| is usually small enough you don't really notice it
i say go for ||forced overtime|| soon because you're going to have to get used to it to push heat, plus it's more fun
everything else is accurate tho
that one was by far the hardest for me
yeah
also ||heat|| is spoiler
i wouldn't do it too quickly, maybe after you've gotten schelemeus the great's first grand prize if you'd like to get used to it quickly
||the game takes place in hell, heat is largely expected||
Just got a lvl 4 heroic crush shot by the time I reached hydra with Hera bow
It just melted
Heads were one shot
it's not really an A sound, it's just impossible to pronounce 'Ch' without some kind of vowel sound
it's simply not a cluster in english
it's wholly possible to pronounce /cθ/
and the reason ancient greek-derived words use ch for what in English is k is because h in that language indicated aspiration
so it would have been pronounced the same as the c in car
which is an aspirated velar stop
the same reason the voiceless dental fricative is written th or the voiceless labiodental fricative ph
those aspirated stops over time fricated
and in Latin k wasn't really a thing as a letter so c was used to represent it
the reason ch also represents the affricate is because old french originally used it to represent the voiceless palatal plosive
which then I guess like assimilated or something to the affricate
granted this could all be wrong
but I'm certain cthonic can be pronounced
||finally got the sentencing for orpheus to appear ayyy||
got another clear also weeee
just stay forever
That's kind of the point. They're the greatest warriors who earned their place in paradise.
I stepped into a skull room, place was filled with those guys and I had just a bow
And they also respawn if I cant kill their spirit form fast
Hmm, the bow did help me against first 2 bosses but not a crowd
which aspect do yall recommend for the spear
||Guan Yu||
havent unlocked that yet, how do i do that? 
I find myself enjoying ||The Aspect of Hades||
neat!
Damn, same.
||achilles, free dmg boost by pressing the same button twice that can be used as a dash||
#h1-story-discussion has it in pins
I made it out of Elysium for the first time!! Woop woop
Build?
this game keeps kicking my ass, any tips?
Just keep practicing and pay attention to enemy patterns, maybe look into builds because those help a lot. Remember that dashing gives you full iframes but when you dash strike you lose those iframes so empty dash when you want to dodge attacks. Aside from that it's expected that you die a lot as you learn the game, how many attempts do you have and did you finish a run yet?
9 attempts, and no, I got Elysium furthest
A room of enemies ganged up on me while I was using the bow
You're still very new. People can take upwards of 50-100 attempts to get their first win.
9 attempts? dont worry lol, it took me like 30
hades is fast paced but oddly enough patience is the most important thing
getting to Elysium in 9 attempts is actually pretty impressive
I got faster than that, I got 9 attempts total
nice
Maybe 6 or 7 attempts
I am sure I did with the bow
Also had good luck with boons, had zeus' intervention
This is stupid genuinely but Im || on the last ambrosia for thanatos to date him || and i saw him in tartarus but i wanna get him one last time so is there any silly rituals I can do to summon him or something (even tho it's random)
I don’t know any silly rituals but I wish you good luck 🤞
Thank you kind person
I'm struggling
I've litterally got || mort and the butterfly || enabled like what pls appear
its completely random
Yeah dw ik that I just mean for random sakes to see if anything would atleast help
Nahh its good || I use aspect of nemesis since I use like a special and a quick dash attack after it rlly helps and in the temple of the styx the special can help keep vermin away ||
||I'VE ROMANCED THANATOS I'VE DONE IT AFTER ALL THIS TIME||
LEZZZZZ GOOOOOO!!!!
IT TOOK ME SO LONG TRYING STUPID RITUALS AND TRYING TO ENCOUNTER HIM BUT I DID IT
Yaya
Only point of the game, tbh /hj
||i just got his first encounter like 4 runs ago and now i just need nectar/ambrosia||
wait, isnt Nyx Zagreus' caring mother? I mean by Zagreus' pov Persephone never even bothered to check on him
thats a point
sorry, Elysium makes me swear
any way to get through the difficulty spike known as forced harder enemies?
Git Gud/s
yes mirror
tbh I would just focus on getting darkness for another defiance
Eh, SD might be better.
for a new player?
SD can help for getting a bit further in an area if you keep burning your DD before the boss but in the long term DD is just better imo
Esp for a new player.
if he's getting stuck in Elysium I'd say DD and/or max hp would help him a lot
But it’s Ely, not boss.
You will die to bosses with SD
DDs are the go-to
here's a mirror guide #h1-for-new-players message
Not necessarily.
Haelian released a new mirror guide today

Newer players wont play well enough with that small of a hp pool
Collar or Skully tooth
Or just use Death Defiances and get better at rooms and leave your keepsake slot open for other stuff
It's pretty straight-forward
SD lasts longer though.
I could arguably say get better at Bosses.
How does SD last longer? It’s a smaller hp pool meaning you’ll last way less in bossfights, and bossfights are tricky unlike rooms. Sure SD refills every chamber but the majority of chambers you wont use it if you play reasonably well. Getting better at bosses takes a lot more time and practice than rooms. With SD you’ll have much smaller wiggle room in bosses and will get punished and lose more often. You can play however you like, but at the end of the day some options are better than others, and the mirror is no different, I might have seen one or two players get their first win with Stubborn Defiance in my 2 years on this server.
I play SD, but more importantly it depends on how you play. I’ve died more on rooms than bosses and I’ve gone up to 32 heat.
One isn’t necessarily better than the other.
I second what MiKE said. If you don't have a second DD yet, SD can be better. But if you don't have a second DD yet, your top priority on the mirror should be getting that, Greater Reflex, and Chthonic Vitality.
The context of ||high heat|| and newer players are very different. For a newer player, DDs will be overall more consistent and you’ll have more success using them, which does in fact make them better for a newer player.
The fact that SD worked out for you doesn't make it equal.
Eh, I get that’s the META but I just don’t think that applies to everyone.
It’s not really about meta
I had more trouble with DD than SD as a new player.
Okay well that’s an outlier case
Yeah.
But when someone asks about mirror advice in the new player channel, it’s a better idea to recommend DDs because the majority of players have more success with them
I’m just saying DD > SD isn’t an absolute.
Fair, I’m just providing another option.
I am not convinced that SD actually was the more effective option for you. I understand that you think that's the case, and it's not impossible, but I think it's very unlikely and that your apparent success with SD was simply due to other factors.
Good build/ lucky encounters etc..
Fair.
I did it 32 times, how could it be luck?
I think you’re missing the context, at ||32 heat|| you should use Stubborn Defiance
It is better at that point because you’ll have no healing ideally
Yeah,but I used it to get there.
||32 lc4||?
Nah.
Well then good on you, but for most people it doesn’t go that way. Early on you use DDs and when you have no healing you use SD and get used to it there, by then you’ll have a better understanding of game fundamentals and bosses etc. Anyway, this conversation isn’t going anywhere so best dropping it and moving on
also why do we always get to these discussions in the new player channel
We can dm.
I do not care about this conversatiom
Welp nope that actually concludes it pretty well.
Nothing wrong with some discussion between vets and somewhat newer players to explain why something is the go-to recommendation/became the meta.
Ye.
If you don't care for it, don't read it. But others can read it and maybe get a better perspective on things.
The convo , the new player and the build channels often bleed into one another anyways
Just kind of the natural flow of conversation, yeah.
what even happens if you try to gift hades lmao
try it
||zagreus trying to be nice and hades being like gtfo my FACE!!!||
Did I miss something? Why is there a Mirror Guide?
I'm almost maxed out on everything.... am I missing something?!
click your skills
.... "Click my skills"..... I'm sorry, I haven't played ANY GAMES on consoles or PC in 15 years....
I know what it means but how/where do I do that on the PS
I'm such a noob 😛
you select a skill and then go left and press whatever a is on playstatioln
there's like
this is fun ❤️
I'm a very casual gamer so I don't really mind.... But seeing as I can't get past BLOODY HADES I'll have to probably check
ohhhhhh that opens up a LOT of new possiblities!
thank you so much!
np
I'm way too distracted by the beautiful design and the great script, the mythological accuracy and the fact that the whole game is synchronised..
well, I'll try again tomorrow!
see what I missed out on
synchronised as in voiced over
the German term for a voice actor is "synchronsprecher", so I may have misstyped that, thinking it would be a good substitute
@dark fog final boss is spoilers in this channel btw, so you might wanna spoiler-tag that. 
Idk if this belongs here but what are the best of the first 3 aspects to use for the weapons?
I know Chiron the best for coronacht but I'm not sure about the others.
Also sorry if I'm interrupting.
There's an aspect guide pinned here
Also Chiron isn't the best for bow lol it's hera
At this stage of the game anyways
chiron is so fun tho
Yeah, I know, right? I just beat the big bad with dionysus/aphrodite, and I didn't dodge nearly as much as I should have.
Sorry.
For spear it’s definitely achilles
tbh the other two spear aspects are just
not good 
They can work don’t get me wrong
nem, achilles, zeus, hera, demeter, eris or hestia (with levels)
probably
idk why i didn't say that earlier
i like poseidon more it is fun
frankly doesnt matter tbh they'll all do fine lmao
if you wanna stay winning like a real big shot you do HESTIA 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪
Final boss is spoilers here btw, so might wanna spoiler-tag or just change it to final boss. 
Sorry, fixed.
Chiron is very easy to play, just requires some levels to do decent damage.
Lv.1 Chiron is pretty sad. 
and if I thought Elysium was hard, their boss fight is nigh cheating
I got to the boss fight and got my butt handed to me
on a gold platter
fight soon tuned into touhou
They really want me to hate Theseus
They combined shield users and bow users into one
Also how is that guy a legend? He looks like a discount
