what do you do with ambrosia

#

cant seem to find a use

final dune
#

you shall see

gentle juniper
gentle juniper
#

or should i keep it on hand?

final dune
#

well

#

how early in the game are you

#

spoiler

gentle juniper
#

dang

final dune
#

but when you're that early it's worth it to trade a few in

gentle juniper
#

aight

final dune
#

pls tag it

gentle juniper
#

sorry

final dune
#

np

#

we all do it

#

but yeah

#

ambrosia is used later in the game as like

#

nectar v2

gentle juniper
#

ah

final dune
#

don't trade it all in but it's worth to get a few for upgrades or new aspects

#

check pins here for aspect guide

gentle juniper
#

alright thanks

wheat steppe
#

If I stick 3 casts in a foe and then use Poseidon sword to dislodge all of them at once, does exit wounds trigger once or 3 times?

sweet brook
#

3 times

lean tendon
#

Should I get the other stuff for gems first or get entry to the ||administration chamber||

gray haven
#

Admin chamber access will allow you to progress various storylines.

#

I'd get that first.

nocturne berry
#

How can i unlock hades's chamber

#

I'm assuming I have to beat him?

gray haven
#

Spoiler tags please. dusa

#

||And yes.||

nocturne berry
#

How can i use spoiler tags

final dune
#

|| || around text

upbeat spoke

or if you have text written in the message window you can select it with mouse and then click the eye icon on the format bar that pops up

I'm on phone

#

Huh works for me on phone

nocturne berry
#

|| hades ||

#

There we go

lean tendon
#

šŸ‘Œ

#

Just felt the biggest pain in this game yet

nocturne berry
#

?

#

Damn it was that bad

lean tendon
#

I accidentally continued down a room while just having cleared the treasure trove challenge with a good score and It’s the room I didn’t even want to go in TwT

nocturne berry
#

L

#

What happenes after i beat || hades||

thin hare
#

||Some dialogue. Then you beat him with all the other weapons too in order to see the basic unfolding of the story.||

viscid notch
thin hare
#

Furthermore ||you keep playing to see more story. Gift everyone.||

nocturne berry
#

Man this game is short, only || 4 bosses ||

#

I've been playing for 3 days and I almost beat the final boss

lean tendon
#

||Aspect of Eris the one from exagryph, what does it mean by ā€œabsorbing your special blast, deal more damageā€? Does absorbing mean reloading and then dealing more damage, hitting the enemy and dealing more damage to the one hit afterwards or just dealing more damage in general after firing?||

lean tendon
nocturne berry
#

I have 36 hours in game so far

#

The game is easy

lean tendon
#

Like 24

lean tendon
nocturne berry
#

Wth is heat

#

But why would I go back if I escape to the surface

#

Isn't that the whole point of the game

viscid notch
#

Well you'll see once you're there

lean tendon
lean tendon
#

@nocturne berry when I was there I thought the same as u tho

viscid notch
#

Yea, in the circle. It's one of the best buffs in the game because it's global damage and it's very easy to apply and keep up. Eris is a top tier weapon.

lean tendon
#

Woah got an epic side hustle at chamber 6

nocturne berry
#

The sword Is the strongest weapon for me

#

Especially with aspect of nemesis

lean tendon
#

Lol the sword is the one I hate the most

viscid notch
#

When you're starting out Sword is pretty solid compared to other weapons but when you start learning them and go back to sword it'll be pretty underwhelming because it's very unlikely that you're playing it optimally initially. It's a tough weapon to get the most out of.

nocturne berry
#

I used them all

#

Sword and shield are the strongest

lean tendon
#

I liked spear and exagryph the most

#

With aspects now now tho

#

Is death defy used up first or stubborn defiance?

viscid notch
lean tendon
#

Yeah from chaos

viscid notch
#

SD is always first

lean tendon
#

That’s good to hear ty

lean tendon
#

I thought it said u could ||change boons from the shop with the reroll stuff||

sweet brook
#

you can

#

well

#

you can't change the boon itself, but you can change what the boon offers you

mighty quail
#

There is no way to start a run from any other level than the first, right?

dusty vault
#

yeah always from tart

rough rampart
tidal mist

šŸ’€

lean tendon
#

Should i get titan blood for ambrosia? Dunno if abrosia is that much worth to keep, i dont have pets yet

final dune
#

you can trade some in

#

check pins for aspect guide

lean tendon
#

Does sweet nectar affect ||pom blossom||?

sweet brook
#

dont think so

#

also ||pom blossom|| is a spoiler

lean tendon
#

Would be too good

sweet brook
#

nah that keepsake would still be mediocre lol

gentle juniper
#

which defiance is good

#

death or reckless

viscid notch
#

You'll need the bigger hp pool

gentle juniper
#

ah

#

in all conditions or should i switch as i progress?

sweet brook
#

unless you're dying in literally every room, death defiance is better

gentle juniper
#

alr

sweet brook
#

death defiance allows for more lenient boss fights, stubborn defiance allows for more lenient normal fights

viscid notch
#

Death Defiance is better regardless

sweet brook
#

yeah at this point in the game definitely

viscid notch
sweet brook
#

it also takes a good chunk of darkness to max out death defiance, so you might as well keep using that and upgrade it as you go

#

stubborn defiance needs like 300 or something? death defiance needs something like 1.4k

viscid notch
#

yea

sweet brook
#

600 for SD, 1530 for DD

viscid notch
#

Damn I thought it's 300

sweet brook
#

same lmao

#

wiki said 600

tribal schooner
#

Where can I find the hammer inside the codex?

sweet brook
#

you can't lol

#

it'll prob tell you like what the hammer is, but it wont list out the upgrades

#

for hammer info, you're gonna have to look it up on the wiki

sweet brook
#

"later in the game" refers to like ||past the final fight||

#

if you haven't gotten a chunk of clears yet, don't worry about it

nocturne berry
#

Is aspect of Zeus good in aegis?

sweet brook
#

Yes

#

It's one of the best aspects in the game in general tbh

lean tendon
#

Does the doom from special or attack gets amplified by special/attack bonus

sweet brook
#

No

#

Doom is like an external source of damage

#

Same goes for hangover and lightning

fervent nacelle
#

hello >:)

#

i'm a bit new to the game and i just unlocked thanatos' summon

#

i still want to give him more ambrosia but he stopped spawning in the hall next to achilles or in my runs 😭

#

i've played 10 runs so far and won all of them, thanatos has not spawned on any of the games

#

hfjshfjshjf where did he go

#

😭

gray haven
#

Just bad luck. squirtnya

fervent nacelle
#

😭

regal nimbus
#

really basic question .... which is better DX , Vulkan or 32bit to play Hades ?

final dune
#

pretty sure its whichever one doesnt crash your game

regal nimbus
#

hoooo

#

my thought vulkan give more HD

#

but yeah never try it , always DX

astral ferry
#

Hi, I have like 17 ambrosia now and I still can't use any of them. I know it's linked to || the friendship thingy with other characters but I have 2 for which the next heart is locked and nothing happens. Chaos even asked me to do an entire run with its trinket, which I did ||, and still nothing.
Should I just trade them?

cedar holly
#

not all of them

#

i dont think its a bad idea to trade maybe half

astral ferry
#

also will i find a use for them if i just keep playing or should I do something specific?

sweet brook
#

you'll find a use for everything if you keep playing

final dune

Wait.
So after I || beat hades all I do is just increase difficulty and play the same thing again all over ||

thats why game is good

Not sure if I did bad or good, but my first victory against ||hades|| was on the 18th run

#

Now, I'm wondering, what's the easiest way to increase ||heat||

*eventually

severe kraken
grave hill
#

its never really over lol

#

the story ends eventually but theres always new stuff to try

final dune
grave hill
#

ill probably keep going back to hades forever , even if hades 2 is better in every way

zenith salmon
#

how does one unlock weapon aspects

grave hill
#

first have to unlock all weapons then u can change the aspects by spending titan blood

#

some aspects require advancement in story and character relationships

zenith salmon
#

I can't view the menu though and I think I have all of the weapons

grave hill
#

i think u have to talk to skelly 1 more time

zenith salmon
#

okay let me try

#

I can't talk with him

#

just to be clear the last weapon you get is the gun right? Because I just got that

grave hill
#

hmm u should be able to change aspsxt just by clicking on the weapon again after selecting it.. might have to do it next run

zenith salmon
#

Yeah that must be it

grave hill
#

ya gun is the last one.. well i guess u can unlock em in a different order if u want

#

u could just do a run and die immediately see if that helps

zenith salmon
#

I'll try

#

I think it worked thanks

#

When I’m fighting Theseus and the Minotaur, should I kill Theseus or the Minotaur first? I’ve been struggling with the boss and would like to know.

signal locust
#

Personally i always focus on the minotaur

#

It just makes things easier for me

#

And he's got more health anyway and I prefer focusing on larger health targets when possible

wheat steppe
#

Phalnyx shot Hera?

final dune
#

phalanx shot hera is funny

#

use shadow presence and go for parting shot

#

because for some reason phalanx shot hera always backstabs

tidal mist
final dune
#

real answer: kill them both at once

tidal mist
#

yeah

#

the true gamer way

restive jewel
#

heyo i have a quick question, what's the best weapon + ascept in the game atm? i thought it's ascept of chiron (bow) but i dunno

tidal mist
#

well "best" is really just based on preference

#

unless you like fists or ||Arthur||

gray haven
#

Hidden shield is the strongest weapon aspect for general purposes.

#

If you're not sure what aspects to unlock or upgrade, my guide is pinned in this channel.

Fists are awesome I love fists

Why are some duos just insanely overpowered

#

And others are so meh

opaque scroll
#

Which one are meh tho?

inland lark
#

Freezing vortex feels lame

#

Hunting blades is immensely better no?

opaque scroll
#

Plus what passives you have on, cuz Chill has some crazy combos.

inland lark
#

That’s fair

#

Biggest draw for hunting blades for me is auto seeking

#

Although I suppose the decreased speed would partially make up for it

hollow grove
#

so much damage

inland lark
#

Hunting blades is always fun at boss

#

But I swear I always get super unlucky with the boons

hollow grove
#

?

BOONS

#

I hate my phone

OH

As an apostle of Chaos my RNG has been unparalleled since launch.

Boon rarity?

No I mean

#

Do you go for chaos boon rarity

opaque scroll
# inland lark Do you go for chaos boon rarity

Ye, sometimes but honestly it’s based on what the cons are. If it nerfs atk or nullifies obol gains I pretty much never pick that cuz it pretty much destroys my dps and shop potential for the run.

dusty vault

Favor from Chaos helps in getting duos so thats neat

This game is hard!

sweet brook

it gets easier

#

you'll get there soon enough lol

white monolith
#

Oh okay

#

Any tips please?

#

I'm thinking of turning God Mode on

final dune
#

turn it on if you want

#

what weapon do you use

#

how do you play in general

#

what builds do you go for

sweet brook
# white monolith Any tips please?

it depends on the weapon/aspect you pick but there are some general tips
your keepsake rotation should be god -> god -> defense/utility -> defense/utility

#

slow hitting weapons that hit hard want a % modifier, fast hitting weapons with a low base damage want a flat damage modifier

final dune
#

best defensive keepsakes are generally acorn and collar

#

acorn is better if you've lost a DD

sweet brook
#

skelly's is also good

#

spear point is good if you have trouble with styx poison

final dune
#

skelly less effective if you have a lot of health

opaque scroll
sweet brook
#

||erebus|| is a spoiler

#

and secondly, that wouldn't help there either

final dune

how does that like

#

companion

final dune

it's specifically not getting hit

#

oh

sweet brook
#

they thought of the wrong thing

opaque scroll

well we weren't discussing companions

we were talking about keepsakes

#

Ok hear me out. Greater recall, phalnax shot, parting shot, lightning phalnax, Hera bow, exit wounds. And if your luck is broken af, greater reflex and Artemis legendary

sweet brook
#

the issue with this is mainly just getting greater recall lol

#

also achilles would prob be better for this because it has a large % bonus

final dune
#

exit wounds kinda ehhhhh

wheat steppe
#

Well I just cleared ||hades|| first phase ez with explosive shot phalnax Hera bow, aphro call, arte attack, greater recall, tri shot, point blank, parting gift. Mostly just stuff thrown together

#

Pretty happy with myself

verbal coyote
#

pls pls pls when does theseus become hittable

sweet brook
#

He always is

#

Hit him from the back

He's got a shield at the front like the greatshields in Elysium

#

rule 2 much??

sweet brook

#

even when I go behind him it says blocked

it seems like I can only attack him when he does his reposition animation where he turns his back

sweet brook

Yeah that's your opening

do I grab the anvil in the temple

Depends on how good your hammers are

ā€œGain +1.0/1.1/1.2% Dodge chance and move speed for each Encounter you clear quickly.ā€
What does quickly mean here?

dusty vault
#

It varies from encounter to encounter

sand dawn
#

So I know this differs for most people but just out of personal opinion sake, whats better, the Adamant Rail or the Shield of Chaos?

lean tendon
#

Ty ty

dusty vault
lean tendon
sand dawn
#

So what builds and what aspects would be the best to use?

#

I know Hestia is good but I dont have it fully leveled up

tidal mist
#

i don't play much rail but hestia and eris are very good

#

pretty sure eris is the best rail aspect

gray haven
#

Hestia probably better, but Eris requires little investment to do good work.

#

Standard Eris build is Lightning Strike > Static Discharge + Tidal Dash. Poms on Static Discharge and Tidal Dash. And get a decent % Special, ideally Heartbreak Flourish or Deadly Flourish.

sand dawn
gray haven
#

Tidal Dash start and look for a high % Attack, ideally Heartbreak Strike, and any good % Special. Alternatively start Heartbreak Strike and then look for either Tidal Dash or Hunter Dash + a good % Special as usual.

#

And lots of Strike/Lunge from Master Chaos on Hestia.

#

Also if you're playing on a gamepad, you'll want to remap Reload to a shoulder button—most commonly L1/LB or L2/LT.

#

You can get your roles in #bot-commands by the way. squirtnya

final dune
#

also, if you find Lunges from chaos or hunter dash make sure every attack is a dash strike

tidal mist
#

realistically is there any scenario where you actually take hunter dash tho

sweet brook
#

if you want big numbers on hestia, hunter dash is fine

#

tidal dash start is more for like speedrunning

tidal mist
#

makes sense ig

#

haven't really thought about it cause i don't really play rail

sweet brook
#

in speedrunning, tidal dash start is pretty important for hestia because it has good aoe and can be used to finish off some of the tankier enemies in tartarus

#

also deletes styx

#

if you dont really care about time and want to one shot everything, hunter dash is fun

#

just stack a big % lol

tidal mist
#

ya makes sense

#

i think i'll stick to achilles my beloved for now tho

final dune
#

yeah rats are even more tragic on hdash

#

same with numbskulls

gray haven
#

So Tidal Dash start ends up getting better runs faster because more runs end up being viable.

#

And you'll still need to find something to steamroll Styx whereas Tidal Dash start only needs Breaking Wave.

#

But in theory Flood Shot + Breaking Wave or Zeus' Aid + rare+ Proud Bearing can do the same thing.

#
  • Clockets
final dune
#

or you reset for clockets and never get out of ely

gray haven
final dune
#

this is true

celest fox
#

Hunter's Dash is taken occasionally with yeah Hestia, and some other dash strike builds like Serrated Edge on spear.

#

Wouldnt recommend it to new players really. Try it out later.

#

Opens a few duos but still not even enough

merry pasture
#

hello

final dune
#

hi

merry pasture
#

any tips for a new player

#

?

#

i bought the game today, i escaped the first one.

#

the second one is kinda hard ig its called underworld

#

any tips?

final dune
#

uh

#

just keep playing

#

at this point your goal should just be making progress

#

you’ll know when to come here because you have more specific questions to formulate

sand dawn
#

Anyone have a good build for Chiron?

merry pasture
#

oh

#

but if i die once we have to start from the first right?

viscid notch
# sand dawn Anyone have a good build for Chiron?

If it's low level it'll only really shine with a Hangover build. Start with Dio's keepsake to get Drunken Flourish and pom that as much as possible as you progress. The two other main gods that you're looking for are Ares and Aphrodite, Ares can give you Curse of Vengeance or Curse of Agony which both unlock Curse of Nausea, and Aphro can give you Heartbreak strike (best option) or something like Passion Dash to continuously apply Weak so you can unlock Low Tolerance and use it effectively. It's tough to get both of those Duos consistently, so usually Aphrodite is the one you force in Asphodel because Weak = Survivability and Low Tolerance is better damage overall compared to Curse of Nausea. That's the general idea of the build, obviously you have to work with whatever gods the game gives you, almost everyone has something you can benefit from. Calls are great on this build because Chiron + Hangover charges the call meter very fast, Athena is a very strong option, Zeus is pretty good for dps.

:/*

tidal mist
#

that's the point of a roguelike/roguelite

merry pasture
#

i got till the skull crushers part rn

merry pasture
#

what do i use the gems on?

#

instead of cosmetics?

#

any tips ?

tidal mist
#

house contractor

#

or wretched broker

#

that's all gemstones are useful for afaik

merry pasture
#

ya but does it matter if i use them to improve the underworld?

#

is it helpful?

sand dawn
#

It's not really helpful but its something fun to do on the side and see the House look much better

merry pasture
#

ya

#

and will i get the titan blood again and again?

#

after the boss fight?

sand dawn
#

Short answer, yes.

merry pasture
#

okay because i used it for a limited deal

sand dawn
#

Early on. Save all of your titans blood. Its what you need to upgrade your weapons and the new aspects for them.

merry pasture
#

alright

#

thanks :0

#

i guess i gotta grind on the first boss

sand dawn
#

Since early on when you're learning Titans Blood doesn't feel as common as well.

merry pasture
#

for some titan blood

#

ya

sand dawn
#

Well so here's the thing

#

Once you've killed the boss with said weapon once he wont give titans blood anymore.

merry pasture
#

oh damn

sand dawn
#

I'm on my phone so give me a min to explain this

merry pasture
#

sure

tidal mist
#

after you do your first clear it will unlock a certain bounty system which will allow you to earn more titan's blood

#

and all the other resources

#

||heat|| is a spoiler in this channel

sand dawn
#

Oh oops.

tidal mist
#

i don't really see the logic behind it being a spoiler but it is what it is

merry pasture
#

its fine lol

sand dawn
#

Well damn lol

#

Well hopefully you read what I said lol

merry pasture
#

i just got this fists weapon

sand dawn
#

I personally dont like them. I know a lot of people do like them though

tidal mist
#

i feel like all aspects are nice except ||arthur||

#

if you like that one you have mental issues

sand dawn
#

I've been trying to get myself to enjoy Hestia. But I clearly keep making a mistake somewhere with the build because my 1st shot only ends up doing like 300. Compared to like 700+ I've seen everyone else do lol

signal locust
#

And chaos and jerky

tidal mist
#

you should be doing 300 at the start of the run

#

with no attack boon

#

are you using fiery presence and hc?

sand dawn
#

Yeah an my Hestia is max level

#

I'm dog doodoo

#

I start with Heartbreak strike

tidal mist
#

wait how

#

idrk play rail tho so i can't really give you an answer

silent fern
#

question, what's the last keep sake? or who do i get it from rather?

tidal mist
#

i assume you mean ||Hades' keepsake||

#

so uh

#

||Hades||

silent fern
#

oh how do i give him a bottle of nectar?. swore i gave him one before

tidal mist
#

you need to give him 2

silent fern
#

oh ok, i'see

ember token
#

Which weapon is perhaps the best for beginners like me? So far I have sword, shield, and bow. I made it to the first boss with the bow and died, that’s the farthest I’ve gotten. (Be easy, I usually play cozy games lol but I love hades)

silent fern
#

the one that gives you the most fun

ember token
#

Right on, good answer āœŒšŸ» well so far I’d say the shield I just unlocked then! I’ll keep trying, thanks!

silent fern
#

the Zues shield is probably my fave of that aspect

tidal mist
#

the weapons in hades are fairly balanced

#

and it doesn't really matter that much what you use until later stages of the game

ember token
#

Okay cool, thx for the feedback. Any tips for beating the first boss? And yes I’m playing god mode lol

tidal mist
#

practice practice practice

#

it's all a matter of getting used to the attacks

silent fern
tidal mist
#

ig build also helps a lot but yk

tidal mist
sweet brook
#

Yeah we can tell you how the fight works and how to beat it, but frankly you learn better by just doing

#

Also because idrk how I beat them I just face tank

tidal mist
#

exactly

#

most of the times i blitz through meg anyway

#

there's not much technique really

sweet brook
#

Well there is, we've just decided to forego all strategy for the fight lmao

tidal mist
#

yea i meant there's not much technique in my gameplay

#

mb

ember token
#

Lol okay thanks ā˜ŗļø

silent fern
#

will pulverizing blow overwite my charge attack??

sweet brook
#

no

#

you can still charge, you'll just atk twice before you put the shield down to block/charge

silent fern

oh ok cool

#

idk why i thought they were connected

did i not mention that

#

oh i actually didn't

Hey guys i just got the game a few hours ago and just killed the first boss i tried all weapons and didnt win until i used the shield. it got me the kill but i dont prefer it what is the best beginner weapon it yalls opinon?

The keepsakes? You can access them in the courtyard before you start a run, next to the sword there’s a storage box thingy with all of them. If you get an upgrade from the contractor you’ll also be able to access them between biomes.

this game is badass

#

idk why i waited so lonmg

hallow oar

Yeah lmao

sand dawn
#

Anyone know how the interaction with Hestia and Ricochet Fire works?

final dune
#

the empowered shot ricochets

#

nothing is different about it

#

seeking doesn't work except +10% damage

sand dawn
#

Oh so it wouldnt be bad to pick up?

final dune
#

ricochet is the best attack hammer on hestia

sand dawn
#

Oh....

final dune
#

clockets is better

#

but that's special

sand dawn
#

Yeah I got the rocket hammer.

final dune
#

rocket is very good

sand dawn
#

At this point hoping to get cluster hammer next

final dune
#

preferable to ricochet

#

that's what you're gunning for

sand dawn
#

So for a chaos gate whats better, 82% Dash Strike damage or 37% attack damage?

#

I assume Dash Strike

final dune
#

on hestia?

#

dash strike

sand dawn
#

kk. Thank you

Hello, I was wondering whether it was really necessary to go and meet chaos all the time? I'm new to this game, and I've avoided chaos a few times to save some health. I'm wondering whether this will have an impact on the story or the gameplay later on.

final dune
#

You definitely don't need to take their gates every time

#

That's mostly a speedrun thing

fresh inlet
#

thank you

final dune
#

Chaos can be quite helpful

#

Especially in cast builds or builds focused on % scaling

#

But things like hangover or zeus builds will care less for them

sweet brook
#

in regards to story with chaos, it's not that important atm

#

later on when you're more confident in the game, you can start taking chaos

fresh inlet
#

okay thank you guys

hollow grove

most would say the best

#

also spoiler tag the name

So does anyone have a good build for ||Beowulf||?

poseidon cast + artemis attack + mirage shot

I seen a video of Festive fog by Haelion. Is that still a good build as well? I'm not a huge fan of Poseidon and knocking stuff back

#

i mean if you're doing more damage than clockets im concerned

final dune
#

good chaos will do that to you

wheat steppe
#

Aphro attack, Athena or Poseidon dash

copper estuary
#

do you reload before every shot

wheat steppe
#

Ye

copper estuary
#

huh

wheat steppe
#

Clockets?

final dune
#

then you're doing more damage than a

#

a single rocket?

copper estuary
#

you really should be doing more than rockets then

final dune
#

lmfao

#

cause like

#

what

#

hestia base is 150

#

rocket base is 80

copper estuary
#

clockets is the term for "cluster rockets,"a bugged combo of cluster bomb and rocket bomb

#

basically, nuke

wheat steppe
#

My hestia shot is leveled once

copper estuary
#

on the special button

copper estuary
final dune
#

lmfao

#

it's only good at lvl 4+

wheat steppe
#

WAIT YOU CAN DO CLUSTER AND ROCKET

#

WHAT HAPPENS

final dune
#

they all do full dmg

copper estuary
#

well rocket has base damage 80

final dune
#

400 base damage nuke

copper estuary
#

cluster reduces damage by 30% except

#

no it doesnt on rockets lol

wheat steppe
#

Also can you do cluster plus wide aoe friendly fire one

copper estuary
#

so you just get 5 max power rockets

copper estuary
#

so you go run up to an enemy

#

click special

wheat steppe
#

Gib

copper estuary
#

and they immediately take 5 mini nukes to the face

wheat steppe
#

Hard to get that tho bc no reroll or guarantee hammer stuff

copper estuary
#

put on arty special and it even looks like a nuke lol

copper estuary
#

just play and try to get rocket bomb first hammer, you'll run into it and it will be glorious

sweet brook
copper estuary
#

you dash up to final boss and do half health with one special

#

wonderful feeling

final dune
#

also pos sword is like not even the best sword

sweet brook
#

Base 75 damage kinda bad for hestia

wheat steppe
#

I feel like a fully leveled Poseidon nemesis would still do significantly more

copper estuary
#

nope

final dune
#

no way

#

lmfao

copper estuary
#

think about it this way

final dune
#

hestia does 150 base

copper estuary
#

150 base damage on max hestia

#

+80% on aphro atk

final dune
#

hestia does 450 with shackle, fiery, and high confidence

copper estuary
#

thats already what

#

uhhh i cant math

#

270 damage

wheat steppe
#

Shackle dumb and so is confidence

final dune
#

what

#

shackle is like super good

copper estuary
#

then factor in fiery presence for like 380

wheat steppe
#

But then no aphro

final dune
#

it's essentially the highest roll aph epic attack

on every single power atk

you gotta like install the normal thing first

or that

#

if you like a melee playstyle personally i rec nemesis because sword is damn fun

achilles is cool too

but overall play what you like

if you like a melee playstyle i'd recommend liking a ranged playstyle

copper estuary

that's not very encouraging

or go nemesis

If you like melee do shield and get charged shot so it's ranged

Hades Wiki

Duo Boons are a type of Boon which combines the powers of two different gods for a unique effect. Duo Boons can only be obtained when you have the prerequisite boons and, like all boons, are lost when Zagreus dies and returns to the House of Hades.
There are 28 Duo Boons in Hades, shared between 8 different gods: Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena...

sweet brook
#

or yeah the wiki lmao

this lists all duos, their boosts, and their prereqs

the 3* athena keepsake makes me think you start divine dash every time

use that keepsake to start your run and take athena's attack

what is it with new players and bracering

Athena cast is also easy to do on Achilles. It's slow but it hits very hard and is convenient. Get Zeus attack next. Their duo will make your cast act like Zeus's cast, but with the dmg and effect of Athena's.

I’m usually a classic sword player, so didn’t think I’d vibe with the bow. But the quick dashing and upgrading the quick attacks really got me a lot further than being in closer-range.

#

How accurate is the story? From what I know about Greek mythology it's pretty accurate

#

||The only complete story about him is that one, in which baby Zagreus is dismembered and reincarnated as Dionysus. This makes perfect sense, because dismemberment is referenced in many of Dionysus’ other myths. For all intents and purposes, Dionysus and Zagreus are the same god. Zagreus is an older, darker, chthonic aspect of Dionysus, Dionysus as a god of life and death. Dionysus definitely isn’t just a wine god. I’ve written whole other answers on this, so I won’t go into exhaustive detail here.||

#

So it was not just a joke?

hollow summit
#

mortals were perceiving it wrong and it was all a joke that Zag told to Orpheus šŸ’€

#

(He did)

That's what happens in the game, but it's accurate? I guess it's kinda weird to talk about accuracy regarding mythology anyway

There's a 3h vid on YouTube about it. Geez

Hey

#

I realized in the Titanomachy, Hestia just uses a bolt-action sniper rifle with a built-in ballistic missile mortar launcher to kill giant

Is there a way to get legendary fishes more often? Or fishing spots in general?
I have a hard time catching them: got my 1st one in my 60th run
I know it's about timing but the window feels really short. Is there a better method between looking at the indicator, using sound or waiting for the controller vibration?

#

Also do you get more fishing spots in the very last region at some point later in the game? Since ||Persephone's return|| there's only 1 room and in my last 10-15 runs I've had a fishing spot there only once or twice.

final dune
#

nyaanyaa fishing guide

celest fox
#

Definitely check the guide for full details

#

For ||Greece|| and Void fish, you just need to get perfect timing down. That increases the quality of fish you get.

#

If you struggle with the last Void fish, that is very normal.

hollow grove
#

well for all fish it's about timing

agile sedge
#

it helps me to put the finger on the bobber and only look for a white flash

#

or if I hear 3 fake bobs I know the next one is gonna be the real one to catch the fish
