Oh yeah not discussing that lol

stable sluice
#

Especially at this stage in the game where those blue laurel rewards are actually extremely useful

#

Like it's more of a balance at this point; gold laurel rooms help your current run, but blue laurel rooms are giving you things that will substantively improve your next run.

#

Once you have the mirror/contractor/etc maxed out, then obviously blue laurel rooms are way less useful

zinc creek
#

I used to be able to get meg more or less consistently, now her sisters are more of a hit or miss thing

#

Don't tend to take much damage in the rest of the level

stable sluice
#

You'll get used to her sisters with time. I don't do meg's sisters as cleanly as I do meg but I still don't really lose DD's there almost ever

#

one key thing about getting more DD's in your mirror is that it gives you more time to practice the stuff you have trouble on

#

Like, if you're just barely reaching the biome 2 boss, and you die 30 seconds into the fight, you only got 30 seconds of practice. If you had another DD, then you'd revive, and keep fighting. Even if you didn't win, you'd probably get 2x or 3x as much practice

zinc creek
#

wait, I'm wrong, I did get the hydra once, died soon after in Elysium though

stable sluice
#

ah nice!

#

that's good

#

fwiw, elysium feels like running into a wall for a lot of people. so if it feels that way don't sweat it

dusty vault
#

Dps check moment

stable sluice
#

yeah. elysium mobs are very chunky

#

so if your build doesn't have a good way to deliver damage it will feel like it takes forever

#

to clear each room

#

but it happens. Happens to me now too sometimes; sometimes you plan a build and it doesn't come together until end of elysium. Heck, I had a build where I didn't get the key perk until styx

#

honestly originally I felt like elysium mobs were harder than styx, but I no longer feel that way. Styx, there's a few specific enemy types where I just really feel like I can't avoid damage

zinc creek
#

Key perk?

stable sluice
light bridge
#

I have a question about the Infernal Arms. Are there any well known/useful combos or streams of attacks that are good to learn?

final dune
#

yes

#

sword

#

special -> dash strike x2

#

(or the other way around)

#

spear

#

dash strike x2

#

on achilles you want to fit in 2 special presses quickly between each set of dash strikes

#

shield

#

uhhhh spam m1

#

bow

#

dash strike power shot

#

chain them

#

fists

#

hold m1 again

#

rail

#

for non hestia you're gonna just hold m1, spam out your dashes and special every reload

#

manually reload at 0

#

for hestia you wanna do this

#

Okay

#

Thanks!

Is the damage protection % reset if I turn off god mode?

how the hell do I get the hidden aspect for bow? I already unlocked the guan yu spear, got to hades more than once and invested 5 titan blood into the bow yet I haven't been able to get the dialogue from artemis for the past 30 times I talked to her

dusty vault
#

Just gotta keep trying

devout canopy
#

it has now been 30 more dialogues

stable sluice
#

You can double check on the wiki to make sure you met all the requirements

stable sluice
#

Also, how did you get 30 Artemis dialogues in 30 minutes?

devout canopy
#

I reset mirror so I die quicker

#

and with adamant arrowhead I'm (almost) guaranteed to get a boon from her at the start

You probably missed something

#

Okay, it's good you're dying not giving up

ashen tangle
#

after checking the wiki for like half an hour ive found nothing

when bonding to people that give keepsakes to get their face on the keepsake when selecting it do you just give them more nectar/ambrosia?

leaden whale
#

What do you mean get their face on their keepsake?

next latch
#

when you reach maximum bond there's special art when selecting their keepsake

leaden whale
#

Oh, I haven't bothered with that yet

stable sluice
#

is there any extra bonus to the keepsake?

dusty vault
#

No

hollow gorge
#

Nothing mechanical yeah

dusty vault
#

The stickers are cute tho

stable sluice
#

true

#

so my beowulf runs are generally good but I'm finding that when I do the "standard" dash attack + rush combo, I end up taking more damage, idk.
when I go back to how I was using shields before reading about that, i.e. a lot of charging up rushes from a safe distance, I tend to take much less damage

#

is using the dash attack + short rush, more of a question of just dealing damage asap, and I should mix in longer range bullrushes whenever I think it makes more sense, or just be trying to get better at doing the combo without taking damage...

grave hill
#

i usualy do longer rushes from a distance

hearty comet
#

question what does instaphase mean 😭 my brain isn't working today

next latch
#

instantly make a boss go to the next invincibility phase
by dealing a lot of damage quickly

hearty comet
#

oh k thx

final dune
#

if an enemy gets closer to you or something you're stuck with it

#

also the fact that they take ages to charge

#

it's more consistent to do short rushes because the enemy really cant get that far in that time

#

there are some situations you might just end up doing them anyways though

#

A_Combat17 and A_Combat20 both notable for that

sweet brook
#

Ah yes normal casual players definitely know what chambers those are referring to

#

I don't even know what those are and I've read the guide lmao

final dune
#

the two ones that suck that arent xtrap

trim scaffold
#

im loving the aspect of arthur, I love the chunkyness of the moveset, id actually been idealizing and wishing there was something with big wide sweeps that hit hard, and well, aspect of arthur was exactly what I wanted, id gotten that hammer that reduces your life by a ton but gives you lifesteal on each hit and I ended up getting to the final boss on my first try with the aspect, im excited for more tries with a more tanky run focusing on centaur hearts/souls to get the most out of the dmg resistance it gives to see how tanky I can be

#

probly shoot for bronze skin too

Lol

ashen tangle
#

oh im dyslexic i jsut saw taking mroe damage

stable sluice
#

Hopefully in the sequel they somehow make it so that's realistic to plan around a legendary

#

The way it's realistic to plan around around a duo in this one

sweet brook
#

well it's more like the legendaries are kinda lack luster and are outshined by duos most of the time

#

like the only good legendaries are splitting bolt and fully loaded

#

divine protection is also good

#

everyone else's kinda just suck

#

or don't do enough to warrant actually trying to get them

#

also no cast build starts artemis and not many builds start with athena either

next latch
sweet brook
#

i mean it's certainly not bad

#

you don't build around it because it doesn't provide dps but you'd generally want to aim for it for survivability

next latch
#

hmm

stable sluice
#

like getting fully loaded is hard enough that it's a joke

#

whereas e.g. beowulf builds plan around mirage shot and played correctly you can get it very consistently (over 80%)

#

getting dependencies from two different gods is way better, because you can basically force both dependencies very reliably with keepsakes + keeping appropriate core boon slots open

#

and once you have the dependencies, you obviously get twice as many opportunities to hit a duo as a legendary

fading marten
#

When it comes to Satyr Sacks....
... Is it based on # of Attempts to Find it within the Satyr Area..?

sweet brook
#

just rng

fading marten
#

Cause i Almost ALWAYS seem to find it on my 2nd attempt

sweet brook
#

it's like a 52 or 56% chance to get it on the 2nd tunnel yeah

fading marten
#

So the % goes up after the 1st room?..
Like Beyond the normal ... There's fewer rooms & thus a higher Chance thing ?

sweet brook
#

well you can't find it in the first tunnel for sure

#

i think like before you enter the final room it gets rolled whether or not the sack is in it or something idk

fading marten
#

If you don't find it in the 1st room then Obviously the Chance is Higher,
but.. Does the Rng get... Boosted..?

sweet brook
#

i think so probably

#

you're more likely to find it earlier than later

fading marten
#

Neat. I thought it was Odd that i nearly always find it in Room 2

Thank you 😎

you wanna avoid convenience fee, jury summons, calisthenics program, damage control

dont ever touch approval process or routine inspection

sweet brook
#

jury summons is kinda fine for early heat, but i'd only take it for 1 heat filler

also have the spoiler rules just fallen apart in this channel lol

same with convenience fee

||Is it a good idea to try and use Guan yu? I suck at the game and don't think I'll do well with only 30 hp||

Spoiler^

if you’re worried you can upgrade it

but it’s very long range

#

Nyaanyaa's Guan Yu Guide
Generally on Guan Yu, the hammers you want are Charged Skewer > Quick Spin > Massive Spin > Serrated Point. Breaching Skewer and Serpent Wing also alright. And Breaching Skewer becomes top priority for the second hammer if you have Charged Skewer already.

Charged Skewer shortens the startup of Guan Yu's Special a whole lot and lets you hold your Special for up to triple base damage.

You'll want Heartbreak Flourish or Deadly Flourish ideally, anyway, for the high % damage. Guan Yu's Special has 45 base damage, piercing, and wide AOE. Anything with % damage is good on Attack except Tempest Strike is unorthodox and requires fully leaning into Poseidon to make it work (though it can be effective and fun).

For optimal DPS, you're either doing Special > Dash-Strike x2 or Cast > Dash-Strike x2 with Guan Yu. Cast for single-target, Special when you can hit multiple enemies with it (or if you have Charged Skewer). And just your Special and reposition if it's enough to one-shot things (which it often is if you have Charged Skewer).

There are two ways to charge the spin: from a normal Attack and from a Dash-Attack. 99% of the time you want to charge from a Dash-Attack. And there are three ways to release a spin: let go of Attack, Dash, and Dash-Attack. Letting go of Attack is the safest method and how you want to release it most of the time. It's also usually the best method for keeping the spin on your enemy. Releasing with a dash gives you i-frames and a lot more range for the spin, but it travels faster. You mainly use that to quickly escape a situation or to throw your spin at very far-away enemies. And releasing with a Dash-Attack gives you the extra range that a Dash gives but without any of the i-frames, but the benefit is that you can immediately charge a new spin. This method is the most aggressive and best for DPS, and it can keep you within the Deflect spin if you happen to use Divine Strike.

Is the black shawl good for a beginner

I've made it past ||elysium|| but died at the next area

God keepsakes?

#

Wait

#

Oh yeah those

polar finch
#

the ones you get from olympians

tepid shadow
#

Which olympian is good?

#

Like the best

polar finch
#

depends on the weapon/aspect

tepid shadow
#

I usially go for athena, aphrodite, chaos and poseidon

#

and ares

tepid shadow
#

The daedulus upgrade with the triple dash attack is so good

polar finch
#

for base spear you prob want either doom attack with athena special and dash and try to go for merciful end or you can go zeus attack with jolted and get poseidon dash

tepid shadow

Eh

Not really feeling like using God keepsakes

Favorite build for struggling players?

final dune
#

do you have aspects yet

zinc creek
#

Aspect of eris on +45% damage

final dune
#

that’s a good starter one

#

just get zeus attack

#

divine dash

#

look for zeus’s boon static discharge

#

pom that boon

zinc creek
#

Yup, that's what I've been doing

final dune
#

should be good enough for a first clear

#

just play more

#

for supporting damage you can get zeus or dionysus call

#

hermes can give you extra dashes which are very good

#

what’s your mirror look like

#

also to be clear you’re using thunder signet keepsake at the start to get the attack right

zinc creek
#

Yeah, I tend to get the extra dashes, I'm at around 70 attempts with god mode on at 58% reduction

#

My mirror now

#

And I always take the thunder signet first

final dune
#

flip privileged status and olympian favor to family favorites and dark foresight

#

but that’s not gonna be the breakthrough

#

i think you should just play more

zinc creek
#

Thanks I'll try those out

#

Been playing for a couple weeks but still hardly get past through the third boss and if I do, with none of the death defiances left

final dune
#

it’s worth resetting to put current privileged status/olympian favor points into dark foresight

#

very impactful option

zinc creek
#

Just did, let's see how that goes

zinc creek
#

Any tips for the shield?

final dune
zinc creek
#

True

final dune
#

if you have, shield damage is gonna be pretty poor

#

chaos aspect sucks no matter what and zeus is good at lvl1 but you don’t have the 2 blood for it

#

but it also has very good defense

#

you can block by holding attack and have invincibility frames during your rush

#

start with aphrodites keepsake and take her attack

#

get divine dash

#

zeus or dionysus call can be nice

rotund fulcrum
#

My tips with the shield would be to get demeter cast and just block while it kills everything lol

final dune
#

kills everything is a stretch

#

more like pokes everything lightly

rotund fulcrum
#

It kills everything eventually

final dune
#

just having damage will be easier

rotund fulcrum
#

If you get upgraded cast, chill on cast, and Artemis duo boon with pressure points it's good

#

Definitely not the best but very newbie friendly

final dune
#

well that’s a lot to go for especially without fated persuasion and pride/legacy

rotund fulcrum

final dune
#

for heroes try and kill bull first

#

stay near walls and pillars to deal with the rush move

#

use your dash iframes

#

when you do a dash without attacking it has iframes

#

but if you attack during it it loses them

zinc creek
#

It's over now. Yes, I always try and go for the bull first and I'm aware of the iframes

#

I don't tend to attack and dash much using eris

final dune
#

you should

#

eris is for the most part holding attack and mashing dash

#

release attack while you dodge

#

but just hold attack and special every reload

#

i see some people who just don’t attack often

#

you need the hit volume each one doesn’t do that much damage

zinc creek
#

That's right. Got the rocket bomb, wanted to combine with cluster bomb but it never showed up

#

Haven't been able to combo those two yet

final dune
#

that’s basically an instant win when u do lol

#

but very high roll

#

don’t bank on it

zinc creek
#

No, i usually shy away from the rocket bomb as it's harder for me to get the eris power up from the blast for my attack

#

But I wanted to try that out and see if it happens

final dune
#

just stand near an enemy and special

Did that until I died 🙂

when u want to

also do how do you dodge cause i feel like when i dash attack through enemies i still get hit?

zinc creek

you can get hit when dash attacking

#

only dashing alone prevents that

are the weapons like pretty balanced in this game? i cant decided between spear, bow, or fists

just pick what u like

it’s like way different than the other shields though

rancid coral
#

where do you even see that 💀 i dont see it on the wiki

final dune
#

?

#

it’s called beowulf

rancid coral
#

oh i thought you were saying that hera and eris where like the sheild aspects

final dune
#

no

#

hera is bow

#

eris and hestia are both rail

#

achilles is spear

rancid coral
#

OHHHH

final dune
#

swords good aspect is nemesis and fists is demeter

#

but they aren’t on the level of those guys

rancid coral
#

ill just run spear then cuz i love spear its so silly

rancid coral
#

i fought the minotaur and the blonde bastard and ive never wanted to throw my controller more then right now

split idol
#

i hate thesues so much

rancid coral
#

im MALDING dude i finally killed minotaur and got theseus to a third of his hp but i was out of death defiance and skellys tooth AND BRO SUMMONS HADES ON ME AND STARTS BOUNCING AROUND IDK WHAT EVEN HAPPENED

sweet brook
#

it do be like that sometimes

split idol
#

ngl i cheese his 2nd phase

final dune
#

just beat him up during his call anim

split idol
#

also for styx is it better to take a keepsake like skellys tooth or one like broken spear point

final dune
#

acorn

split idol
#

i get hit a lot more than 5 time

final dune
#

still nullifies more damage

rancid coral
sweet brook
#

spear point only nullifies damage if you take 2 hits in a row really fast

final dune
#

theseus cant summon dad

rancid coral
# final dune ??

i dont even know man, i had NO clue what was happening during that fight

final dune
#

it's when he enters phase 2

split idol
final dune
#

and stands there with his spear in the air\

rancid coral
#

oh i think that was the hades thing

final dune
#

he cant call dad

#

he calls an olympian

rancid coral
#

it said HADESSS

sweet brook
#

well it wasn't hades call lmao

rancid coral
#

im so confused

#

i had a bunch of black circles that like got placed around the arena

#

and bro said hades 💀

sweet brook
#

might be dionysus

#

that's like the darkest color lmao

#

and even if he did yell "hades" it still isn't hades call

#

it's just one of the gods

rancid coral
#

yeah im looking at the wiki

#

idk wtf hit me bro LMFAO

#

they were kinda big

sweet brook
#

hard to tell based off of your memory when you barely knew what was going on lmao

Piercing fire, delta chamber or spread fire?

final dune
#

delta chamber

#

it gives you invincibility frames on dash strikes

Just managed to escape on attempt 70 though đŸ‘ŒđŸœ

you didn't ask for it but it's pretty important lmao

hollow gorge
#

Depends on how important duos are

sweet brook
#

if youre duo hunting for the prophecy take legacy

#

but the majority of builds don't need a duo

zinc creek
#

I mainly play with Eris

sweet brook
#

you dont need duos

#

any duos you do get should be on accident lmao

#

at least for eris

zinc creek
#

Just won on accident with sea storm (:

sweet brook

And cluster bombs, spamming and dashing away without taking much damage

How does Family Favorite work?

final dune
#

for each god you have you get an additive bonus

#

hermes included but not chaos

#

the boost is removed if you sell all boons from a god

rigid atlas
#

Just beat ||Theseus|| for the first time I’m so exhausted haha

split idol
#

congratulations

rigid atlas
#

Hm I like both Chiron and Hera, Chiron is more of a bosskiller while Hera is more general nuke?

final dune
#

but it does """"focus"""" on single target damage

#

hera is just gonna put out like

#

way more

#

on both standard enemies and bosses

zinc creek
#

How does Hera actually work? Don't understand the mechanic completely

final dune
#

press cast to load casts

#

when you release your bow shot the casts travel with them

#

and pop either at the end of the shot or when the arrow hits an enemy

#

thats why crush shot is so good with it

#

the high base damage and the loading mechanic nullifies the range issues

#

but yeah

#

hera is one of the highest damage aspects in the game

zinc creek
#

Oh

final dune
#

chiron is like the second worst

zinc creek
#

Got it

#

I'll try and unlock it next, seems fun

final dune
#

its very fun

#

it's like the only aspect that's actually controller dependent though

#

it's still feasible to play on keyboard especially if you dont take flurry shot

#

but it's a lot shrimpler on controller

zinc creek
#

Do you still get titan blood if you clear a run with the same weapon again?

final dune
#

have u cleared a run yet

#

you did right

#

on eris

zinc creek
#

Sure, I'm on switch with a pro Controller

final dune
#

was that you

zinc creek
#

I did, one on eris

final dune
#

the new bounty system yes

zinc creek
#

Yours truly

final dune
#

if you aren't doing a new bounty and you use a weapon you've cleared a boss with before you won't get the fancy reward

#

just darkness and possibly gemstones

zinc creek
#

New bounty?

final dune
#

you have the ||heat|| system now right

#

when you go to try to escape

#

with the ||pact of punishment||

zinc creek
#

I do indeed

final dune
#

increase that to do new bounties

zinc creek
#

Does the titan blood reward get reset for each bounty?

final dune
#

yea

zinc creek
#

Thanks

rigid atlas
#

How do I unlock the second mirror skills?

hollow gorge
#

Wait like additional rows or like yellow abilities instead of purple

rigid atlas
#

The ones that toggle

hollow gorge
#

I don't remember, wiki should say

#

If there's a switchy icon on the far right that's it

#

But I guess you need some dialogue first

rigid atlas
#

It says talking to nyx after getting 300 darkness but I’ve spent like 3000 and I’ve def had more in my inventory

is it that bag or the other bag

#

actually nvm

naive plank

Honestly have no clue what you mean I never seen any bag just went with what they said so passed on it

next latch
#

there's another bag that appears in shop

#

but i assumed correctly

naive plank
#

The icon was green so maybe? Idk tbh I just past on it since you said boon

next latch
#

did it cost 125

sterile solar

The shop has either a normal boon, or a random one, yes it looks like a mystery bag

How many tries can I beat Hades?

Well, depends on what you mean by beat

#

You have as many as you need

naive plank
#

So I finally got to hades first attempt I couldn't get him any tips?

final dune
#

just play more

#

do you know about dash iframes

naive plank
#

Yes

final dune
#

and how they go away on dash strike

naive plank
#

Yea I k8nda figured they did now confirmed

final dune
#

then yea

#

just play more

#

learn his attack patterns

naive plank
#

The thing is he wasn't even the one that killed me he just attacked and led me to the damn wagon 😂

final dune
#

lol

#

do be how it go

naive plank
#

I kinda figured learn his moves I'm using the gun to stay away but I didn't have any armor piercing perks. I'm guessing I gotta get that or a bunch stat boost to deal with wagon. Was jw if there was any other tips than play more. Maybe best summon or something

final dune
#

he summons different enemies every time

#

best summon is meg

#

just spam summon button entering arena it'll hit him

naive plank
#

No I mean special maybe that's the right term

final dune
#

oh

#

you mean like boon?

#

for special slot?

#

you're playing rail right

naive plank
#

Yea I meant like I was using dionysis and used it

final dune
#

oh

#

dionysus special is gonna be really bad

#

rail special hits 1 time every 1.5 seconds

#

you cant hit max stack

#

you want a % based special

#

anything that says % is good

naive plank
#

Yea I noticed his wasn't good and idk how good Athena would be I don't really use those boon specials much those are the 2 I used

final dune
#

athena is good

#

the deflect wont be a big deal

#

since it's so delayed

#

but she has decent enough %

#

don't take poseidon though

#

on special

#

even though the % is good the knockback is rlly annoying

#

what keepsake do you start with

naive plank
#

Ok so avoid poseidon and dinoysus

#

I originally started with zues

final dune
#

that should be good

#

zeus attack

naive plank
#

Yea then when I get to next stage I used Cosmic egg to get some his perks

final dune
#

cosmic egg doesn’t force chaos

#

you generally don’t want to use it

#

what id probably recommend is zeus’s keepsake for the attack - athena keepsake for dash, or special if she doesn’t give you dash - acorn - acorn

#

if you don’t have acorn, lucky tooth

naive plank
#

I just got acorn I used it against hades

final dune
#

nice

naive plank
#

Still got to level up but I only use tooth if don't have 3 dd

final dune
#

if you’re going into final region with 3 dds the collar can be good

#

because it’s 125 total extra hp

naive plank
#

Yea I only had 2 that's y used tooth also why are items so expensive at end?just because end or because better in some way

final dune
#

the expensive ones are better

#

boons will have increased rarity

#

poms will increase an extra level

naive plank
#

Ok got you thanks

Hey gang! If you had a short "do's and don'ts" for new players, what would it be? I started my first playthrough on stream and was thinking of how to gain some edge hehe! So far got to the 3rd map on run 6~

hollow gorge
#

3rd room or 3rd biome? Honestly, playing more and discovering for yourself is the main recommendation. Can t really mess up anything permanently (unless you choose to not romance someone)

#

There are little mechanical notes like lightning bolts having a 0.2s cooldown timer per enemy, but those won't come up majorly for a while and when they do you'll probably notice them.

buoyant goblet
#

3rd Biome! :3 I getcha, makes sense. I've taken a real liking to the shield so far. It seems that some Boons are shockingly worse then others, but maybe its just a matter of building around it to make it viable 😄

coral solar
#

oof, been trying to beat the game today , and can't pass Minataur and Theseus.... not enough dmg kinda.

I am trying to beat them with sword or gloves. Any tips? 😄

No aspect for now, but have 4 blood

next latch
hollow gorge
#

When asterius charges you, dashing into him can actually get out of it if you time it right. I often don't

coral solar
#

any boons easy combos/weapons.

i prefer sword, gloves, shield let's say

hollow gorge
#

With quick attack weapons like the gloves, you want flat damage, like lightning or hang over

flat lantern
#

I've been playing for a year but I still consider myself new based on my skill level

#

Anyways does anyone have a chart of heat gauge conditions difficulty

flat lantern
#

Oh thanks

coral solar
hollow gorge
#

It's not a strategy you'll see players going for faster play use often, but I remember it being one of the easiest strategies for me early on.

#

Lightning on fists attack is still something I use, on the other hand.

#

Stays relevant.

flat lantern
#

I got enough diamonds to unlock erubus gates though it would be all 5 of my diamonds is it worth it?

flat lantern

They don't do anything until your first clear

#

A bit after, really.

#

But also, you'll get more everything eventually

If you have Erebus gates available you also can get the upgrades to meta rewards right

If yeah, then go for fated keys would be my choice but a bit late for that bouldy

So I just ran into demeter boon after reaching the surface finally. Her one move for cast summons a crystal for x amount of time. My question is if I have 3 cast that means 3 can be out at once?

Ok thanks man

hollow gorge
#

If you do timed recharge and get other things you can have a lot at once.

meme beam moment

naive plank
final dune
#

it rlly depends

#

she has a tier 2 boon called glacial flare

#

glacial glare

#

that u can pom to increase the time they stay out greatly

#

with an extra stone and a high level glacial glare u can basically cover any room with them

#

i don’t rlly recommend it though

#

takes too long to set up for not much reward

naive plank
#

Having a bunch?

final dune
#

since u need a t2 and then also a duo

final dune
naive plank
#

That you don't recommend a bunch maybe just 3?

final dune
#

oh just get as many stones as possible

#

but you want to use stygian soul

#

they take a really long time to drop back into stones

#

so with stygian soul you can set several new ones up during the lifetime of one

hollow gorge
#

Those are hard to come by but extra impactful with stygian soul (the green mirror cast talent)

naive plank
#

@hollow gorge Ok I got you pop in my head having 3 out along with gun could be fun frost build

#

Also golden or deep pockets? Seems golden would be better unless I'm missing something

If you really want the diamond/blood in the last shop then you can use golden

After the first time that you obtain a reward from a Boss(ambrosĂ­a for example) the only way to get more is by trading and the lista of minor profecĂ­as right?

you can get more after beating the final boss

subtle ice
#

A ok

#

Thanks

#

I havent beat It yet

naive plank
#

Trying to think what to take on this boon. Glacial glare that makes the beam stay up longer right? And nourished soul if I go through the door does it give me 30% more or picking up hearts give the 30%?

sweet brook
#

Glacial glare

#

Nourished soul isn't bad but you'd rather have more damage output

#

Also hearts won't heal for more or give you more hp from that

#

You'll get more healing from doors and wells

#

More hp from hearts is life affirmation from Aphrodite

naive plank

Ok thanks bananas

How do you unlock Demeter? Getting to the final boss?

upbeat spoke

Cool

#

Are there any basic tips for Theseus w bow? I’ve only beat him once w spear but I’m trying bow (I’ve gotten him to 50% after beating Minotaur), may switch to fists

sweet brook
#

Whenever he attacks his back is exposed for like 2 or 3 shots

#

You have to be patient and play somewhat midrange

#

Just be mindful of his attacks and dodge accordingly

rigid atlas
#

dash in and get behind when the spear is thrown?

hollow gorge
#

He'll usually walk away after recovering his spear. Hide behind columns or time your dashes when he throws to not get hit.

#

And he's super exposed when he starts calling

rotund fulcrum
#

Aphrodite call is nice vs Hades

#

I had the duo boon that made my call charge automatically but capped at 25% (forget what it's called)

#

But the charm interrupts everything Hades tried to do

Zag is attack based so focus on boobs such as Artemis or aphro for its attack

Chiron is special based so aphro for attack dem for special

zagbow works best with Aph attack but Artemis dash
chiron is meh

If u don’t have Demeter use Artemis for special

For heart rend

I said it was my fave

highest is beo

and then hera

Surely Rama is much higher

Loading casts is bigger similarity than being hidden

Maybe higher but then that depends on chaos, but Hera also can benefit from chaos

And they're all super on cp 20

I'm overwhelmed by the weapon choices. Is (Eris) Rail a good beginner's weapon to learn tje ins and outs of the game with?
Second choice would be Zeus Shield...

I don't think the rail is beginner friendly, but if you enjoy it, go for it

#

How would I test out all the aspects early into the game when Titan Blood is so limited..? o.o

#

Or should I just take all aspects to lvl.1 and worry about their levels later into the game?

dusty vault
#

That reverts your save before the blood is used

#

Otherwise you can check the pins here for a tier list on what power you should expect from each aspect

#

Or just go by feelings and test one for a weapon you like

boreal spruce
dusty vault
#

If you are going to just lvl 1 on everything prepare to feel a bit disappointed on some

boreal spruce
#

jusr adding 1 or 2 heat to get bounties reallt isnt that detremental

dusty vault
#

Some really want lvls

boreal spruce
#

and once you find one you like you can put more into it as you work through the heats

summer pulsar
craggy peak
#

Something like || chaos ||aspect or || eris || needs it’s levels to be better but something like ||Hera ||is fine at level 1

yeah

boreal spruce
summer pulsar

I enjoy them all, but I can't get past boss 3 with any xD

craggy peak

My first victory was with shield

The blocking is useful so if you use the shield often take advantage of it

summer pulsar

Ye, blocking is pretty much the main aspect I like of the shield 🙂

random copper
#

hera crush shot exists yk

rigid atlas
#

Sigh, Hera has made me forget how to use cast

#

I switched to Talos and suddenly my fingers are wack and i die to Hydra

grave hill
#

some aspects require max lvl to be good some dont.
also the zag aspects can be maxed for only 5 titan blood.. one thing u can do is jist max zag bow and easily win up to 20 heat and then move onto the next , but that would get boring

#

generaly i do recommend more of that approach tho.. focus on a couple aspects at a time vs spreading out ur titan blood and trying everything out right away

rigid atlas
#

I just unlocked Achilles Chiron Hera Talos and Nemesis I think, didnt realize I could quit to test things out oof

grave hill
#

its ok of ur anything like me and many of us. u will be addicted to hades and before u know it u will have everything maxed

rigid atlas
#

So true

#

I just got to Final Boss yesterday and I thought they’d be worse tbh

#

I got them down a third or so?

#

It’ll be fun learning patterns

grave hill
#

nice!

#

yeah once u lear the patterns its rly not so bad.. the main thing in my experience is timing the dash for that spin move he does

#

u can dash away to safety.. or once u get the timing down.. dash closer so u can hit him

random copper
#

when you dash you get invincibility frames that you can utilize to get closer and not die

#

||when he uses the spin attack, you can dash into the swing without taking damage and get up close and personal. this also works with all his other attacks as well except for phase 2 where he uses laser beams||

grave hill
#

ya I think you can dash to avoid damage in every single thing that can damage u

#

even the tight deadline timer i heard

#

timing is everything

silent vessel
#

Note that this doesn't work with dash-strikes though. Only pure dashes.

There's also Athena deflect

rigid atlas
#

What does it mean when someone refers to a “god pool”

#

I vaguely know but

dusty vault
#

(excluding hermes and chaos as they work different)

#

There are some exceptions (like using a god keepsake after filling your pool will add the new god to your pool, creating a 5 god pool)

rigid atlas
#

Oooooh

#

That’s why fam. fav only goes up to 25 or whatever right?

dusty vault
#

Yup

#

4 gods + hermes

#

If you are being funny you could get it up to 45%

rigid atlas
#

Two god keepsakes + 4 pool + Hermes +?

dusty vault
#

And yeah Hermes ofc

rigid atlas
#

that’s insane

#

Global 45 seems good tho skfbfnbfdd

In paper is good yeah

But consider that now your build is a mess

rama might work with that
heartbreak strike
thunder flourish
flood shot
hunter dash
dio aid
then the revenge boons

viscid notch
#

easier said than done

#

but yea there’s a couple weapons can make use of everything

gritty moss
#

That’s incorrect

#

Rama itself with twin shot already exceeds Hera and Hera doesn’t have any outstanding hammers

#

Rama’s shared suffering also clears rooms like a breeze with almost everyone in it getting 60% of the damage that you give to one person

#

And 60% of Rama’s twin shot would be about equivalent to one of Hera’s cast shots lol

sweet brook
#

Hera is still consistently faster lmao

#

Also flurry Hera is pretty good if you get used to it

gritty moss
#

Consistently yes but not at best

what lmfao

gritty moss

The problem is Rama takes time getting used to

final dune
#

there are like 4 hera sub5s

Tbf rama wr has bad/no Hermes lmao

does rama even need hermes

sweet brook

But also rama isn't inherently faster than Hera because there isn't exactly data that proves that consistently

It'd have good Hermes lol

Rama better because it needs less aiming

#

And how enemy reliant it actually is

#

Rama is better than Hera for infinite blue men in Ely but rama early game can be rough

HOW TO UNLOCK ZEUS LOCKED HEART

craggy peak
#

Talk to him a lot to find out

#

What rooms should I focus on early to progress the story? Just Nectar>keys>gems>darkness?

So, 1 nectar for everyone is enough for the story at first? Or do I need to max everyone out?

Okay, so, nectar>keys>gems=darkness
