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
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
that's pretty normal
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
wait, I'm wrong, I did get the hydra once, died soon after in Elysium though
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
Dps check moment
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
Key perk?
I meant boon sorry
I have a question about the Infernal Arms. Are there any well known/useful combos or streams of attacks that are good to learn?
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
Is the damage protection % reset if I turn off god mode?
no
thanks
just got to the hydra with two death defiances free to use, lost them both đ„Č
F
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
Due to how the dialogue system works, you are at mercy of rng when the convo happens
Just gotta keep trying
it has now been 30 more dialogues
You can double check on the wiki to make sure you met all the requirements
Have you been talking to Artemis with the bow equipped
Also, how did you get 30 Artemis dialogues in 30 minutes?
I reset mirror so I die quicker
and with adamant arrowhead I'm (almost) guaranteed to get a boon from her at the start
Okay, it's good you're dying not giving up
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?
What do you mean get their face on their keepsake?
when you reach maximum bond there's special art when selecting their keepsake
Oh, I haven't bothered with that yet
is there any extra bonus to the keepsake?
No
Nothing mechanical yeah
The stickers are cute tho
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...
i usualy do longer rushes from a distance
question what does instaphase mean đ my brain isn't working today
instantly make a boss go to the next invincibility phase
by dealing a lot of damage quickly
oh k thx
the issue with long rushes is that you can't uncharge them
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
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
the two ones that suck that arent xtrap
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
if u like arthur u might like hestia
well beo has the +10% damage but its kinda pointless as all u need is rare Poseidon cast and feed all poms into it and you shoud be fine although getting mirage shot or artes legendary is very helpful aswell
?
just kill them before thye hit u
This has nothing to do with what I wrote about
we've been over this
Artemis doesn't have a legendary
Lol
oh im dyslexic i jsut saw taking mroe damage
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
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
lol?
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
hmm
i mean the main point for me is because of the game's design, even where there is a good legendary, you can't build around it
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
<@&520436902483197982> i need help with a question that i have
how do i get the alternate skills of the night mirror?
talk to nyx
keep trying
it can take awhile
if you progress too quickly alt talents can get delayed by other dialogues
fellas
i have been banished from the god gamer acadamey for being bad at video games and have been sent here
will someone tell me what heat is
kill your father then you'll know
alr
arthur come wit me
hehe big number make brain go awoooga
WHY IS THERE NO MEMES CHANNEL
WHY DID I EVEN BOTHER JOINING THIS DISCORD THERES NO MEMES

yeah i know
sadge
now we cant post funny diyonisus
saying the thing
darn
where am i supposed to get hades memes now
reddit????
Iâm standing in front of a dadelus hammer in Charles shop with 195 obol
VorimeBroke
What's the easiest heat to turn up? I cleared 9 heat and barely managed it.
It's geared for clearing and learning 32 heat, not for general bounties
I'm already doing TD 2 lol
Although this last run I had 18 seconds left when I finally cleared dad, 21 hp and no revives left
When it comes to Satyr Sacks....
... Is it based on # of Attempts to Find it within the Satyr Area..?
just rng
Cause i Almost ALWAYS seem to find it on my 2nd attempt
it's like a 52 or 56% chance to get it on the 2nd tunnel yeah
So the % goes up after the 1st room?..
Like Beyond the normal ... There's fewer rooms & thus a higher Chance thing ?
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
If you don't find it in the 1st room then Obviously the Chance is Higher,
but.. Does the Rng get... Boosted..?
It does đ
does aspect of nemesis crit chance affect the dash attack?
Yeah
thabk you
what is the easiest heat to use because i barely scraped by beating hades regularly i cannot take this extra challenge đ
extreme measures 1+2
benefits package 1
middle management
underworld customs
tight deadline
one or two points in hard labor
a point in lasting consequences
you wanna avoid convenience fee, jury summons, calisthenics program, damage control
dont ever touch approval process or routine inspection
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
there have been like no spoilers these past few days
and no mods have yelled at us either
i forgor
sorry i didnt know đ
its alr
should i delete or...?
its fine
Fighting Theseus ||with a mini gun|| was easier than I thought it'd be.
Didn't even notice bull being harder, slightly more annoying
Still killed him the same way
I cleared 10 heat 50 seconds slower than my personal best, which was on 2 heat lol.
Can clear consistently with Stygius but I suck with everything else
I enjoy no heat practice runs with different weapons on a different save so I can get used to using them for real, then go for gold with my main save
Me grinding on a separate modded save for a year and then coming back to my unmodded main save and crushing records within a week and going back to my modded save
Not too new of a player but I learned through yt today that you can choose which boobs are displayed on your victory screen.
ah yes
when I use blood for aspects.
Is that Total Blood, or Blood per weapon in my inventory?
I have 3 titan's blood. Is that 3 per weapon I can use, or 3 in total
Total
guys
how do i do the dusa quest favor thingy
the one where you have to renovate the lounge
ive purchased man things for the lounge and its still not completed
How to get legendary boons?
Is it just taking a lot of one specific god boons until you eventually get the Legendary boon?
codex has a button to show boon requirements if youve bought the contractor upgrade
like the guy said study the codex. tells you what you need and highlights the requirements green if you have them. there's also a mirror passive that increases legendary odds
espesh when he spams the charge i can never dodge that crap
Dodge through him not away from him
he turns around so quickly, still
Bait him into a pillar/wall/theseus
Or use the iframes provided by a call to hit him
i try but it's stil hard
||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^
not that bad
if youâre worried you can upgrade it
but itâs 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.
I got the worst possible hammer :/
Already used 2 DD before clearing tartarus, wont use this again lol
I have no DD and haven't made it to lernie. I have completely forgotten how to dodge anything apparently
Question. are the olympus gods that start your run just pure rng or based on weapons?
is it possible to guarantee a daedalus hammer at first room
no
zamnies
Other than giving up when you have first room hammer lol
Hi
Is the black shawl good for a beginner
I've made it past ||elysium|| but died at the next area
I have just unlocked black shawl so I was wondering if it's good
Or should I try to unlock thanatos' keepsake instead
neither is particularly good
the usual strat is to use god keepsakes in the first two regions to get a proper build going then switch to defensive keepsakes being acorn/collar/tooth for the last two
the ones you get from olympians
depends on the weapon/aspect
I am mainly using the spear rn
The daedulus upgrade with the triple dash attack is so good
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
ig purse can be nice
tooth for early game
2nd run and I got the fury LET SGOGIIFIF
I have been finding most success with the bow
Played about 10 runs
Just unlocked aspects
Aspects are fun
Or discover for yourself! Hard to make lasting mistakes in this game.
ez n cheap
maxing arthur or wasting stuff at Broker are all that comes to mind
i accidentally maxed talos and saved it and had to complete a dem 32 run that i gave up instead to revert my save
Most of the broker deals are pretty good
Permanent and temporary
And your e going to max everything eventually unless this is a trashing aspect I don't like kind if joke
@next latch I waste keys at broker, don't need 600 of them
hmm
What else can you spend keys on besides unlocking the mirror anyways?
Cthonic theme
Weapons
Refund darkness
Extra roll in runs
This is why I have 600 of them lmao
Cthonic theme though, maybe worth saving for.
15 keys for blood is like the most important one
Otherwise I guess you just trade up
Mark it as spoiler pls
I'm working on favors but don't wanna Google it, done a couple without having to yet
Anybody think spear is the best wep?
Try rail
Game weirdly crashed randomly during hydra encounter
It was the empowered hydra, the projectiles were much wider
Is it a known bug?
that doesn't happen afaik
might be a hardware problem or something or a one-off thing
Hope it doesn't happen, I was having a really fun run with the sword
I'll try it
Let me hop on quickly
How do I keep track of the weapons I have cleared Tartarus or Asphodel with?
At some point you can unlock a room in the house called the administrative chamber, which tells u this
I really suk at hades
That's the best for getting progressively better
Favorite build for struggling players?
do you have aspects yet
Aspect of eris on +45% damage
thatâs a good starter one
just get zeus attack
divine dash
look for zeusâs boon static discharge
pom that boon
Yup, that's what I've been doing
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
whatâs your mirror look like
also to be clear youâre using thunder signet keepsake at the start to get the attack right
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
flip privileged status and olympian favor to family favorites and dark foresight
but thatâs not gonna be the breakthrough
i think you should just play more
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
itâs worth resetting to put current privileged status/olympian favor points into dark foresight
very impactful option
Just did, let's see how that goes
Any tips for the shield?
youâve already spent all your titan blood right
True
if you have, shield damage is gonna be pretty poor
chaos aspect sucks no matter what and zeus is good at lvl1 but you donât 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
My tips with the shield would be to get demeter cast and just block while it kills everything lol
It kills everything eventually
just having damage will be easier
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
well thatâs a lot to go for especially without fated persuasion and pride/legacy
Yeah true
You just described meme beam
Except you are using shield instead of achilles đ€Šââïž
Meme beam is Aphrodite over Artemis
đ€
What's the meme beam?
đđŒ
have u gotten to the final boss yet
If you mean the last aspect of the rail, I've seen it
no thatâs not it
And no, I barely get through the thrift bosses
ok so yea you donât have the access yet
Haven't gotten close to the end yet
if you want you could record a run
I'm doing one now, just got to the third ones, one death defiance left and little life
I might
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
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
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 donât attack often
you need the hit volume each one doesnât do that much damage
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
thatâs basically an instant win when u do lol
but very high roll
donât bank on it
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
itâs a very good hammer
just stand near an enemy and special
Did that until I died đ
rip
if you dash in circles around enemies most wont ever hit you
Rip in peace indeed
I feel the god mode will catch up to my lack of skills eventually
Probably
soon you won't even need it
im an eternal god mode player </3
How much damage reduction do you have?
im planning on using the fists because they look the coolest anybody know what aspect i should go for?
demeter
talos and the hidden are both very clunky and zagfists boost is boring
bet ty
one more question tho, how do i get the aspects do i have to go like higher up then i figure out?
do u have all the weapons rn
nope im one key away from the fists lol
10 gems will get you a key
Gl!
you can get aspects once you have all the weapons and then have done a run
wth thats how pronounce asphodel? this game has taught me that ive mispronounced every single thing in percy jackson đ
wait how were you saying asphodel?
ass - fod - ul
i mean its similar
yeah but ive still been sounding like a clown lmao đ
also when is it a good time to turn off god mode?
when u want to
cause im getting close to 10 heat with my weapons and it kinda feels dumb to make it harder with easy mode on
also do how do you dodge cause i feel like when i dash attack through enemies i still get hit?
are the weapons like pretty balanced in this game? i cant decided between spear, bow, or fists
for casual play yes
just pick what u like
what about...non casual play? đ
fists suck mega ass
like half the aspects r just kinda irrelevant
and people for the most part gravitate towards 1
well like
this is like top leve
going for a sub6 or sub530 or something without getting a sub5 seed for it
just use what you want
thats not fair! you cant tell me fists suck mega ass without telling me what kicks mega ass :(
hidden aspect of shield
hera
eris
hestia
achilles
those are the 5 S tiers
not necessarily in that order
oh so sheilds like the best?
but the hidden shield is definitely at the top
itâs like way different than the other shields though
where do you even see that đ i dont see it on the wiki
oh i thought you were saying that hera and eris where like the sheild aspects
OHHHH
swords good aspect is nemesis and fists is demeter
but they arenât on the level of those guys
ill just run spear then cuz i love spear its so silly
i fought the minotaur and the blonde bastard and ive never wanted to throw my controller more then right now
i hate thesues so much
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
it do be like that sometimes
ngl i cheese his 2nd phase
just beat him up during his call anim
also for styx is it better to take a keepsake like skellys tooth or one like broken spear point
acorn
i get hit a lot more than 5 time
still nullifies more damage
whts that? is that like when hades sends his black voids at me
spear point only nullifies damage if you take 2 hits in a row really fast
??
theseus cant summon dad
i dont even know man, i had NO clue what was happening during that fight
it's when he enters phase 2
when he calls down all the dmg stuff yea
and stands there with his spear in the air\
he entered phase 2 against me i was just running around
oh i think that was the hades thing
it said HADESSS
well it wasn't hades call lmao
im so confused
i had a bunch of black circles that like got placed around the arena
and bro said hades đ
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
hard to tell based off of your memory when you barely knew what was going on lmao
like 4-5 in total
real đ
just get there again lol
lmao heroes fight can be rough at first
Piercing fire, delta chamber or spread fire?
That would've been great to know
Just managed to escape on attempt 70 though đđœ
What do you usually go for for the last two mirror options?
god's pride and fated persuasion
(the one above that should be dark foresight btw)
you didn't ask for it but it's pretty important lmao
Depends on how important duos are
if youre duo hunting for the prophecy take legacy
but the majority of builds don't need a duo
I mainly play with Eris
you dont need duos
any duos you do get should be on accident lmao
at least for eris
Just won on accident with sea storm (:
nice
And cluster bombs, spamming and dashing away without taking much damage
Pretty braindead but fun
lightning rods and hide strat
Use shield lmao
How does Family Favorite work?
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
Just beat ||Theseus|| for the first time Iâm so exhausted haha
congratulations
Hm I like both Chiron and Hera, Chiron is more of a bosskiller while Hera is more general nuke?
chiron isn't much of an anything killer
but it does """"focus"""" on single target damage
hera is just gonna put out like
way more
on both standard enemies and bosses
How does Hera actually work? Don't understand the mechanic completely
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
Oh
chiron is like the second worst
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
Do you still get titan blood if you clear a run with the same weapon again?
Sure, I'm on switch with a pro Controller
was that you
I did, one on eris
the new bounty system yes
Yours truly
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
New bounty?
you have the ||heat|| system now right
when you go to try to escape
with the ||pact of punishment||
I do indeed
increase that to do new bounties
Does the titan blood reward get reset for each bounty?
yea
Thanks
How do I unlock the second mirror skills?
Requires keys
Wait like additional rows or like yellow abilities instead of purple
The ones that toggle
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
It says talking to nyx after getting 300 darkness but Iâve spent like 3000 and Iâve def had more in my inventory
one sec
Just unlocked Hera and did a successful run, with Poseidon boons
It was a damn death ray
I, found the option to swap, I have no idea how long thatâs been there lmao
In Charon shop I never seen this as an option what is this mystery bag?
random boon
Thanks man
ok
Honestly have no clue what you mean I never seen any bag just went with what they said so passed on it
The icon was green so maybe? Idk tbh I just past on it since you said boon
did it cost 125
The shop has either a normal boon, or a random one, yes it looks like a mystery bag
I love ares
i can tell
@next latch maybe something round there unsure now
How many tries can I beat Hades?
20-100 typically
Well, depends on what you mean by beat
You have as many as you need
So I finally got to hades first attempt I couldn't get him any tips?
Yes
and how they go away on dash strike
Yea I k8nda figured they did now confirmed
The thing is he wasn't even the one that killed me he just attacked and led me to the damn wagon đ
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
he summons different enemies every time
best summon is meg
just spam summon button entering arena it'll hit him
No I mean special maybe that's the right term
Yea I meant like I was using dionysis and used it
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
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
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
Yea then when I get to next stage I used Cosmic egg to get some his perks
cosmic egg doesnât force chaos
you generally donât want to use it
what id probably recommend is zeusâs keepsake for the attack - athena keepsake for dash, or special if she doesnât give you dash - acorn - acorn
if you donât have acorn, lucky tooth
I just got acorn I used it against hades
nice
Still got to level up but I only use tooth if don't have 3 dd
if youâre going into final region with 3 dds the collar can be good
because itâs 125 total extra hp
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
the expensive ones are better
boons will have increased rarity
poms will increase an extra level
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~
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.
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 đ
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? đ
No aspect for now, but have 4 blood
nearly every boon has a use on a certain weapon
Take out the bull first. Use the pillars to avoid the spear.
When asterius charges you, dashing into him can actually get out of it if you time it right. I often don't
any boons easy combos/weapons.
i prefer sword, gloves, shield let's say
Have you tried ares doom on the shield special and then dash away/hide behind the shield?
With quick attack weapons like the gloves, you want flat damage, like lightning or hang over
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
pinned in #h1-high-heat-strategies
Oh thanks
yep, almost passed Theseus, but a close fight and lost đ
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.
I got enough diamonds to unlock erubus gates though it would be all 5 of my diamonds is it worth it?
Literally my whole strategy lol
I'm just gonna do it
Have you had your first clear?
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 
I've done multiple clears
What
Are meta rewards
Darkness, keys, nectar, gems
Oh
Anything used for permanent upgrades

I don't play this game enough
great image, thank you!
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?
yes
Ok thanks man
If you do timed recharge and get other things you can have a lot at once.
meme beam moment
Ok thanks I think a frost build would be awesome and see that as one of the things. How many is alot though?
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 donât rlly recommend it though
takes too long to set up for not much reward
Having a bunch?
since u need a t2 and then also a duo
?
That you don't recommend a bunch maybe just 3?
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
Extra stones from chaos and wells and fully loaded
Those are hard to come by but extra impactful with stygian soul (the green mirror cast talent)
Ok I understand
@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
Deep pockets
You want gold to buy early when you are at your weakest to well, not staying weak
With golden you are saving gold for 1 shop at which point is kinda useless
Gold is better used after all
If you really want the diamond/blood in the last shop then you can use golden
Ok thanks
||How many life bars does hades have? I got so excited depleting his life only for another to come is the 2nd the last?||
Why would you want the surprise spoiled. Also, probably spoiler that.
We are in the channel that we at least try to keep spoiler free.
is there a way to check how many fish i have?
@hollow gorge oh sorry how do I black it out
Put || at start and end of sentence
@dusty vault thnx
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
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%?
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
Ok thanks bananas
Np
How do you unlock Demeter? Getting to the final boss?
yes
Cool
Are there any basic tips for Theseus w bow? Iâve only beat him once w spear but Iâm trying bow (Iâve gotten him to 50% after beating Minotaur), may switch to fists
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
dash in and get behind when the spear is thrown?
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
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
zeus-aphrodite
So it was fine
I also had triple rocket with two special upgrades from Chaos, so the run was easy.
Pewpew
hello i am kind of new to the game and i just want to ask is there any way to farm titan blood i want to open/upgrade all weapons
beating the first boss for the first time with a weapon will net you one blood
final boss drops another + after that you unlock the best way to farm blood
other sources: trading for it at lounge (1 ambrosia for 1 T.blood is always there and sometimes 15 keys for 1 blood which is super good)
list of minor prophecies
Charon may sell one blood for 1200 gold at the last area shop
after beating hades you mean via [redacted]?
I avoided mentioning their name for a reason but yeah
oh yeah lemme edit it
Max out Zag or Chiron
They will help tremendously
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
chiron is best with poseidon special
Edit Chiron
Thatâs also good but I like the chill stacks
i guess it's safer
Chiron is the best bow imo
lol
Dio is also v good
chiron is unambiguously the worst bow aspect
by a large margin
Hera is
lol
Hera is by far the worst
lol
hera is the second highest damage aspect in the game
Chiron def is not the best but is my fave
so then why did u say it's the best
I said it was my fave
Rama and beowulf?
no
Loading casts is bigger similarity than being hidden
actually hera is the beowulf of bows đ
castpects just have way higher damage ceilings
Only way rama can compete with Hera is with crits on twin/triple shot with point blank/perfect shot, and if it crits it'll probably be about equal to Hera lol
Maybe higher but then that depends on chaos, but Hera also can benefit from chaos
Rama prob top 7, it's gotta compete with Achilles and eris tho
I mean I guess lmao
wohooo, [Redacted] killed me for the first time đ
REDACTED killed you
(Maybe spoilers that)
||spoilers||
But also just saying REDACTED like the records do is fun
Also, congrats on the milestone
okay, reached the final boss again this time with shield, but failed again đ
i am getting used to the final boss though đ
That's awesome how close did you get to getting him?
hiii, i'm new to hades and i have a "problem".|| I'm not sure on how to continue Euridice and Orfeo's quest, like do i have to befriend them more? or do i continue talking to them?||
Probably both
cry, okay, thx u anyways 
||you also need the administrative chambers unlocked||
yes, i have them, i've already defeated ||hades|| like ten times, so i have that
ps: thx u
no idea how to put spoilers
@coral solar they recommend putting spoilers on stuff like that but same
lol
No spaces

Don't worry I didn't know either
||
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...
phew, i finally beat the final boss đ
I don't think the rail is beginner friendly, but if you enjoy it, go for it
Tough choice xD
its all about personal preference, there is no absolute easier or harder weapon to use. if you feel like rail is best, sure, go for it
well I'd say zagshield is easier than ||rama|| or smth
It took me far too long to realise 'tsil' was a typo and not some abbrevation I don't know yet xD
Haha no worries xD
yeah but zagshield is LAMEEEEE
i would say both have a very high skill ceiling, however i would try all the aspects out and just see what you enjoy. i dont like playinf sword and spear so i just play anythjng but them for example
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?
If you want to cheese that
Upgrade an aspect and go to a run, if you don't like it oress give up in the pause menu
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
thjs is an option....
depends on the aspect but thats generaly what i would recomend if your not going to do what SomeNoobDying recomended
If you are going to just lvl 1 on everything prepare to feel a bit disappointed on some
jusr adding 1 or 2 heat to get bounties reallt isnt that detremental
Some really want lvls
this is true, but generaly you can get a feel of the weapon
and once you find one you like you can put more into it as you work through the heats
A bit cheesy, but I may do that
Something like || chaos ||aspect or || eris || needs itâs levels to be better but something like ||Hera ||is fine at level 1
yeah
what weapons are you enjoying playing more then others
I enjoy them all, but I can't get past boss 3 with any xD
They are difficult
My first victory was with shield
The blocking is useful so if you use the shield often take advantage of it
Ye, blocking is pretty much the main aspect I like of the shield đ
hera crush shot exists yk
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
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
I just unlocked Achilles Chiron Hera Talos and Nemesis I think, didnt realize I could quit to test things out oof
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
So true
I just got to Final Boss yesterday and I thought theyâd be worse tbh
I got them down a third or so?
Itâll be fun learning patterns
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
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||
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
Note that this doesn't work with dash-strikes though. Only pure dashes.
There's also Athena deflect
When you pick a god's boon they are added to your pool, once you get 4 gods the rest won't show up
(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)
Two god keepsakes + 4 pool + Hermes +?
Get 3 gods before tart midshop>enter midshop and buy mistery boon (4) and next door needs to offer a different god (5)>from there fill with the rest of keepsakes
And yeah Hermes ofc
In paper is good yeah
But consider that now your build is a mess
Cuz you can't find the gods you actually want
Yep
rama might work with that
heartbreak strike
thunder flourish
flood shot
hunter dash
dio aid
then the revenge boons
easier said than done
but yea thereâs a couple weapons can make use of everything
Thatâs incorrect
Rama itself with twin shot already exceeds Hera and Hera doesnât have any outstanding hammers
Ramaâs 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 Ramaâs twin shot would be about equivalent to one of Heraâs cast shots lol
ok buddy
Hera is still consistently faster lmao
Also flurry Hera is pretty good if you get used to it
Consistently yes but not at best
what lmfao
The problem is Rama takes time getting used to
there are like 4 hera sub5s
Tbf rama wr has bad/no Hermes lmao
does rama even need hermes
But also rama isn't inherently faster than Hera because there isn't exactly data that proves that consistently
No but if we're comparing "at its best"
It'd have good Hermes lol
What sheet is this
truly the better aspect

Rama better because it needs less aiming
It's still kinda fast but it's a lot more difficult considering how much it needs
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
Archer adds in final boss just sucks
No
i havent used the gloves or gun in a while
Its random
It's random
HOW TO UNLOCK ZEUS LOCKED HEART
Talk to him a lot to find out
What rooms should I focus on early to progress the story? Just Nectar>keys>gems>darkness?
Or should I try to progress further in the areas first and unlock more things that way first?
So, keys>dark>nectar>gems?
what does your mirror look like
for story you'd want to talk with gods and ! characters
Restarted because I felt like I wasted all my Blood, so pretty early, not even all defiance unlockdd
So, nectar is only important for side stories like the romances and such?
And trinkets of course
you need nectar ||to befriend all the gods for the epilogue||
So, 1 nectar for everyone is enough for the story at first? Or do I need to max everyone out?
max
Okay, so, nectar>keys>gems=darkness
No u need to max at least 6 out of the 9
