Unlocking hidden spear needs you to unlock 5 non zag aspects
Other weapons is just invest 5 blood in the weapon
celest fox
Alright just making sure
Just rng. This comes up all the time in this chat.
You'll get it if you keep playing. That's all you can do.
The more dialogues you do the further you will get.
By depleting storylines and other options and such
dusty vault
Im gonna answer in #h1-discussion cuz thats a lot of spoilers (which please spoiler mark about ||demeter||
merry yoke
so i did all the requirements for the hidden aspect of the sword, but nyx won't give me the dialogue
like, she ran out of dialogue
and i did over 20 suicide runs and nothing changed
toxic jasper
Ight so the dude above me has a point cause i got it 2nd try (The first one was Story lines), the only difference we have is that i UNLOCKED the last aspect of the Spear
lmao nevermind he didn't "unlock" the spear, he got the Dialog but when he unlocked it the game crashed and we though he had it unlocked
1 whole day spend for nothing 💀

dumb question: what key do I press to pause on the steam version?
Also, is there a common preference for using a mouse vs not when playing the steam version if there isn't a controller available?
Found it being esc for the pause menu....that makes a lot of sense.

completely ignoring the mouse

completely ignoring the mouse
It’s a memey way of playing the game. Some people have done it but it’s kinda tough, on some weps it’s nearly unplayable. In terms of which one is better it’s easily kbm. On some weapons, mainly rail, you turn off aim at cursor so the auto aim takes over the attack and makes it more accurate.

I just started playing Hades a couple days ago and am LOVING IT

do u have aspects yet?
final dune
spear isnt super good without aspect
youd need a lot of buffs to pull off like bablo 525
balmy turret
I still enjoy using it
final dune
but if you're gonna use it
balmy turret
but assume I can use aspects I am close to unlocking them
final dune
well then
just use achilles
start
uh
you can start tidal dash deadly strike or slicing shot
if you want a better start with more rng on if u get the build do tidal
if you want attack boon first deadly strike
if you want cast first slicing shot
and then get the artemis/ares duo hunting blades
for achilles your rotation is tap special twice very quickly and then doing two dash strikes
look for flurry jab hammer
balmy turret
k
final dune
dont take any special hammers on spear generally they suck
except exploding launcher is good
final dune
oh
yeah
so
let me
well
if you like spear
you can just go ahead and unlock achilles
it's the best spear aspect by far
balmy turret
What does raging rush do?
final dune
video
you rush to your special
and then for the next 4 attacks/casts they get buffed
between +50% and +150% based on aspect level
balmy turret
and tbh
my least favorite part of the spear
is retrieving it
so this seems perfect
final dune
oh yeah dont use special unless you have exploding launcher or are on achilles
you dont have to use all parts of your kit

actually
at relatively high level
all weapons in this game are melee weapons
final dune
or well
high performance
staying back can be safer but you're dealing less damage often that way
gloomy cosmos
is using the bow right all abt timing pretty much?
final dune
but yeah more importantly bow is just dash strike power shots
learning that is the thing most conducive to your success with the weapon
gloomy cosmos
oh ok
gloomy cosmos
ok yeah that makes more sense, ive only got like 17hrs in the game rn, so only have a few completions
kinda just been messing around seeing how things work yk

I haven't been playing since release, and that doesn't really discredit my point
It's not a lot of damage and you're likely to get hit a lot because of the charge and recall animations
It's risky with no benefit
final dune
spear in general takes more boons to build
sweet brook
Or very little benefit
balmy turret
I haven't been playing since release, and that doesn't really discredit my point...
Tbh ye fair point. But like he said he was just trying to show me something fun and not the "meta"
hollow gorge
Stuff that worked for me before I had all the aspects upgraded.
final dune
because higher frequency
if you wanna get really basic with it heartbreak strike on any spear will work fine
hollow gorge
Oh lol no swearing allowed here?
final dune
it's just that you can pretty easily get some higher damage
and also cast builds imo are generally more interesting than non cast build for unaspected weps
balmy turret
Which I understand
Just saying I appreciate hearing opinions besides the meta choices
final dune
when i was new i totally discounted actually using the cast
hollow gorge
Gotta balance that with safety/ease of use. Some weapons are generally actually ranged when not under time pressure, just trying to survive.
hollow gorge
Very fun. Require a little more knowledge on how to build for them but I think almost all my ||32+ heat|| clears are cast builds.

The other aspects definitely make cast builds more fun/feasible
How so?

le epic hidden shield
hollow gorge
Some empower casts with percent bonus which is a big deal for casts which have fewer ways to get percent bonus than attack or special, and upgrade base damage when pommed.
Some let you load casts into attacks.
Mainly those two ig lol.
final dune
the castspects are
hidden shield
hera
eris
achilles
poseidon
talos
thinkthats it
sweet brook
each weapon has 1 yeah
final dune
oh yeah
sweet brook
some are much better than others
final dune
never noticed that
sweet brook
some are pretty disappointing lmao

Cast builds arguably benefit the most from the right duo boons which are easier to grab with fully upgraded mirror

Fastest in terms of speed running?
balmy turret
OK I have gathered from this. . . Very easy to understand conversation that I will be using Achilles Spear
And I reckon Poseidon and Zeus go well with Aphrodite?
final dune
aph and pos have no particular synergy
the duo is ok
zeus and aph have smoldering air which is a really good duo
sweet brook
Fastest in terms of speed running?
yeah and also general clearing tbh
they're just strong
a lot of top aspects that are recommended to players are castpects lmao
namely hera and eris
achilles if they like spear
the only exception is talos
talos kinda just exists
hollow gorge
Achilles with artemis attack makes mathematical sense and also can lead to some good cast builds.
balmy turret
aph and pos have no particular synergy
I mostly just meant the dash
final dune
?
final dune
oh
well i mean
that's jutsa really good boon lol
you can go through a run with that as your only damage source and do fine
balmy turret
Alrighty
I was really hyped when I got a duo boon in-game today cus I had 0 clue about them before
balmy turret
I just got super surprised when the dialog kicked in and them BOOM! Duo Boons
hollow gorge
Which one?
final dune
Unshakable Mettle
balmy turret
Which one?
Artemis and Aphrodite
The one with increased crit chance or damage on Weakened targets
hollow gorge
Increased damage when critting
balmy turret
Gotcha
hollow gorge
But yeah, that one can be super good with weak application and crit chance.
balmy turret
Ye that one
final dune
heart rend is cool
balmy turret
Ye I just like Aphrodite's abilities and as a beginner the damage-boosting dash is incredibly appealing
Especially with Spear's dash hitbox
balmy turret
Just the Dash I think
hollow gorge
I thought you had aphrodite dash
proven pivot
Did you have Artemis attack?
Aphrodite attack better
hollow gorge
nbd either way, I'm sure you'll see a lot more
proven pivot
Was the Hades rank always green?
hollow gorge
Aphrodite attack better
lol out of nowhere sweeping opinion
balmy turret
I thought you had aphrodite dash
I run aphrodite attack when I can, I usually prefer other dashes like Poseidon or Artemis
final dune
Aphrodite attack better
on spear?
hollow gorge
does artemis dash unlock heart rend? I would think not.
final dune
on achilles aph atk is p much useless compared to arty
hollow gorge
heart rend not being dependent on a crit chance boon would be silly lol
proven pivot
I don't know about Achilles specifically. I don't use it
hollow gorge
lol
balmy turret
What does heart rend do again?
balmy turret
Right
final dune
heart rend increases crit damage from 3x o 4.5x
final dune
I don't know about Achilles specifically. I don't use it
achilles is fun
hollow gorge
but like, crit damage which is separate from the percent most percent boosts get added to
achilles v fun
proven pivot
Don't like it tbh

it might be my fav

i only like achilles and hidden spear
mainly because the other 2 spears are garbo but whatever

I spent a lot of time with zag spear chasing down all the hammers you can't get with other aspects. Probably could've thrown some spintime in there.
final dune
i mean the only hammers u can’t get on achilles are some special ones
and special hammers suck
final dune
i mean there’s exploding launcher
which is fine but also is not flurry
and what else
flurry is literally just too satisfying to ever pass up
hollow gorge
These absolutes feel like a disservice to the game
All the flurries are fun.
Also, all the furies.
final dune
huh
proven pivot
Hidden sword is the coolest weapon in the game tbh
hollow gorge
I feel like I'd like it if I could figure out dashing mid combo
proven pivot
Big sword kill fast
final dune
big sword kill slow 
proven pivot
I feel like I'd like it if I could figure out dashing mid combo
Don't even need it. Standing strike strong enough
hollow gorge
that's jazz bait
proven pivot
?
final dune
dash strikes are better but also are annoying because of the weird delay sort of thing
on other swords you press dash mouse1 and can instantly do it again
hollow gorge
I just assume jazz will strongly disagree with that on an emotional level lol
final dune
on hidden you have to wait it out
hollow gorge
Do most people keep the default computer button layout?
proven pivot
I don't recall the exact methods but something about hidden sword apparently makes standing strikes about as good as dash strikes with it

standing strikes are just too slow
proven pivot
Not when you get Aphrodite attack and just delete everything
final dune
but you could also do that on hestia a million times faster
proven pivot
That's what I did for things that are spoilers in this chat
final dune
with more safety
hollow gorge
is a hidden sword swing actually the same timing as a hestia shot?
proven pivot
but you could also do that on hestia a million times faster
And you can beat the entire game extremely simply and safely with hidden shield. Should we just only use the best weapons in the game?
final dune
or on hidden bow with way more damage
final dune
is a hidden sword swing actually the same timing as a hestia shot?
hail no
way slower
hestia is roughly every 0.75s
final dune
And you can beat the entire game extremely simply and safely with hidden shield....
no but arthur actually doing well comes from dash strikes
proven pivot
Idk I've yet to need them

no but arthur actually doing well comes from dash strikes
dash strikes, not dash combo?

You can just dash between the swings without breaking the combo which adds a lot of mobility to the weapon and makes it less clunky overall.
If your goal is to go fast tho it’s not very worth doing.
Dash strikes mostly stronger in that regard.
hollow gorge
You can just dash between the swings without breaking the combo which adds a lot...
Requires some pretty precise timing, doesn't it?
final dune
no
you can just mash attack and dash
the wep has tech because they specifically made it easier to dash between strikes

Your Dash Strike does 60+% damage; added to Attack sequence.

final dune
wdym
fickle marten
For boosts
final dune
what
final dune
caustic?
well
what weapon are you on
these things generally depend
for chaos you want to balance a good curse with a good boon
caustic soul isn't that bad
fickle marten
Sword
final dune
because the curse isn't too bad and health is nice
atrophic grasp is good on cast builds but whatever on other builds
for sword you want % bonuses on your attack and special
but none of those are here
affluence is nice but roiling is really bad
so i'd take caustic soul
fickle marten
Cant do atrophic because I only have 50 health

you'll see on your 4th run i think

you'll see on your 4th run i think

the game forces you into taking poseidon's call

its a core but not a priority one
final dune
generally thats not referred to as core
dull terrace
Is the call like the thing you interact with and u get 3 options
we call those options boons

onyx finch
You need to wait fot the buoy/float to completly submurge, then pull

final dune
Nyaanyaa's Fishing Guide
There can only be three fake bobs, so the fourth bob is always real if the first three were fake. Fake bobs have an interval of 2-5 seconds while the real bob has an interval of 1-2 seconds. So if it takes more than 2 seconds, it should be a fake bob. Meaning you should look for the real bob within a short time after you start fishing or within a short time after a previous bob.
Personally, I just look for the white flash above the bobber and ignore the bobber itself. Some players have said they have better success when putting their thumb on the bobber to not get distracted by that, so maybe you could give that a try.
A Perfect Catch means catching a fish within 340ms. Perfect Catches are 50/50 on being a legendary or rare fish. Any other catch is 50/50 on being a rare or common fish.

Is there any way to get a specific boon to show up besides the trinkets you get from gifting to them?
and do the odds of a certain boon showing depend on your other boons, or on your weapon?
onyx finch
Not specific boons, but you can (not sure how spoiler this is, so added anyway) ||toggle them using a
mirror aspect||.
There are boons that depend on others, yes.
Your codex explains that in detail
fickle ravine
Not like the duo boons I was meaning, more like let’s say if your first boon is from ares then you’d be more likely to get a boon from Aphrodite or something like that, regardless of the synergy between the boons

I’m going to buy hades on ps5 today any useful tips?
have fun
tips in early parts of the game are detrimental imo to the experience
once you have more speciifc things to ask go for it but for now i'd just recommend having fun with it
although one useful tip
if you have a pc, probably buy it there instead

I have been told the bosses are hard. How hard are we talking?

final dune
significantly scales with your general ability at roguelites and your meta progression
worthy basin
I have been told the bosses are hard. How hard are we talking?
you need to grind a bit but its not like elden ring
final dune
i mean
the grind basically solely involves actually playing the game
you just pick up rewards along the way and might change your decision making somewhat
worthy basin
thats a better way of saying it
leaden whale
I looked up gameplay and it looks very fun. Is there a weapon better than others?
final dune
there is not
there are 6 weapons and 3 of them are generally better than the other 3 but you can still do everything you want with them
up until the very extremes the bottleneck will basically never be your weapon
leaden whale
So your saying I could use the same weapon the whole game
leaden whale
So the bosses don’t play like a from soft game boss
final dune
well yeah i mean it's a 2d game
leaden whale
The thing that interests me the most from what I saw in the gameplay clip is all the dialogue
final dune
game has a lot of story elements yea
worthy basin
personally i think there is just enough dialogue and gameplay
everytime you talk to an npc its like 3-7 slides of dialogue
leaden whale
But your saying it’s not so difficult in terms of difficulty like Sekiro. That is a hard game
worthy basin
no, if something is too difficult youre just not upgraded enough yet
of you have a bad build that round
or*
leaden whale
But if I die to a boss the first time that doesn’t mean I’m a bad player right
worthy basin
no not at all
leaden whale
My skill just isn’t high enough I guess
worthy basin
its a very rewarding game, im not a very good gamer myself but i found that if i die its a chance to upgrade and get further the next round
leaden whale
One of my friends said in the first area he died like ten times at least before he made it to the boss
So is that normal
worthy basin
it didnt take me that long but everyone has their own experience
leaden whale
What if I’ve never played a roguelite
leaden whale
Isn’t three a difficulty option not that I would change it because no challenge is kind of boring
final dune
there is god mode
leaden whale
Guessing you one hit everything
leaden whale
I’d probably use the regular setting
I want to have the same experience as everyone else

God mode doesn't really change your experience tbh
It's just a slightly easier game, everything is the same otherwise

In settings, you can change which buttons do what.
Attack plus dash is a very common combination, so make sure those are comfy to hit at the same time before muscle memory sets in.

Is anyone's favorite god ||Demeter|| in terms of boons? I'm having difficulty adapting to their playstyle. It seems that their boons are much less collaborative with other gods, and require a significant amount of luck to synergize effectively.

Bouldy is used when you are doing a farm run. Meg is usually for speed runs.

vapid canopy

also how do you get bouldy like the gifting nectar thingo thing do you just max out sisyphus
modest sphinx
You get summons from the first Ambrosia.
You fill people up with nectar, their heart may/may not be locked for a bit, do a few runs or specific quests (like freeing people from contracts- this requires talking to Nyx), then when they unlock, they want Ambrosia instead.

Try to down Asterius first while hiding behind the pillars from Theseus. If you mean for the solo phase, wait for him to throw his spear and attack after he calls it back.

when Theseus is summoning a god he's also totally open to attacks
dashing through him, attack them dashing though him again to just keep dodging the attacks is free dmg

im getting very headache about so many gods and i dont know how do I combo them together to make it good..
Is there any tips on which god should I pick?
raw coral
Not really since it depends on what weapon you prefer to play. I'd say to try to find what combos work for you since it's what roguelikes are about. There are definitely builds that are better than others, but if you're just starting off, most stuff works decently well.
Runs also restrict you to 4 gods, excluding Hermes, so you can try to pick synergies based on that.
molten marten
Oka thank you so much radish
grave hill
what radiah said^ just try everything find out what you like. eventually ul become familiar enough to start understanding the differences and start thinkin about ur favorites and how they work with each weapon etc
but ur better off not worrying about it too much for a while

flat damage boons are better for faster attacks

Family Favourite is a global damage boost, meaning it applies to all the damage that Zagreus deals. Once maxed, everytime you encounter a new god and choose a boon from them, they get added to your pool of gods and give you a +5% global damage boost, this only applies to onlympians.

Though when you do get more Titan Blood, plan where to spend it with a bit of thought. In general it's not easy to come by at first and some weapons don't need much to be very useful but others need you to invest fairly heavily to get good results. Also, don't believe Skelly about the sword (at least until you have blood to spare).
Id say invest a few Titan Blood into the weapon/aspect you have unlocked which you feel most comfortable with, but save about half of what you get for unlocking later weapons (if you have not already unlocked everything).
And get the codex from Achilles for a few other ways to get Titan Blood.
dusty vault
There is also the pinned guide for aspects leveling

But I'd say your favourite weapon should generally get some degree of priority regardless of whatever anyone says. If you don't enjoy the style of a weapon, ignore it for now.

oh i didnt realise ||heat|| was after your first clear, gotcha
should i swap out dark foresight for olympian favour btw? does dark foresight decrease my chances of seeing a darkness room
dusty vault
it does but tbh I don't think is worth it
darkness rooms are 10 base darkness
unless you have a lot of bonus from it, ehhh
most of the darkness comes from the big drops from the bosses

Q) New player here.. I am using the Spear and just got the upgrade that lets me spam my Attack. My attacks have Heartbreak Strike (Attacks inflict weak), should I replace it with Curse of Agony (attacks inflict doom)? if all my attacks inflict Doom thats really good right? or should I keep foes weak? I struggle vs bosses
dull terrace
keep that as Aphro due to high dmg modifier with a status is more preferrable than just a status that does 1 burst of dmg

How do you get legendary and heroic boons? Is it just luck? I have the max amount of darkness in the mirror for the more likelihood of finding one. I've only found one once

heroic is from rarity upgrades at eurydice or ||demeter||
legendary is getting prerequisites

On my first run I got that early, on my last run it took ages. It'll happen.
