[abstract scaffold]

Alternate between that and triple shot buff and it’s less than 30 sec

Good grief things just got fun

Alecto fight was a joke, and that’s just base gun

Thank you guys for all the help thusfar. It means a lot that you want to see me succeed, even though I won’t “see” it coming LOL

[north ice]

It's not a problem honestly

even though i've barely helped at all lol

[abstract scaffold]

You’ve all been great

I’d be overwhelmed with so many questions tbh

[abstract scaffold]

How could’ve I screwed this up? I went to the third area and things were great until I met the suicidal butterflies miniboss encounter.

I have no clue how to get out of that room

[cedar delta]

BUTTERFLY BALL! A new player's worst enemy

[abstract scaffold]

I feel like I killed a ton of them and it wouldn’t end. I died not understanding it

[cedar delta]

You'll want to focus down the butterfly ball first if at all possible

[abstract scaffold]

You’d think with the amount of triple grenade shots and the aaoe damage that I would’ve just done it by chance. Is it ridiculously hard to kill or am zI just doing it wrong?

[cedar delta]

It has a decent amount of HP and armor

[abstract scaffold]

I just can’t seem to focus on it while I’m getting stung literally every 0.3 seconds if I even stop for a moment

Time to get my second dash back

I even had flood shot going

[abstract scaffold]

Now that I’m ready to think about it, how do you get the secret aspect of your weapons?

[final dune]

pinned in #h1-story-discussion

the good ones are spear, shield (best aspect in the game), bow and rail

hidden sword and fists are 2 of the worst aspects in the game so don’t waste the time or blood on them

[sweet brook]

spear needs a good amount of blood in it (kinda)

[sweet brook]

you've been playing with only 1 dash??

you kinda need that for survivability lmao

[sweet brook]

ngl you're probably doing it fine, butterfly ball just has a stupid amount of armor

just be mindful of the spawning blue men

[abstract scaffold]

I had two dashes and I reset the mirror for dd and hp increases

And not having triple shot grenades is huge with the hydra. I went in with one dd and still lost

[sweet brook]

lmao it do be like that

[abstract scaffold]

Thinking the gun will be my way out of here. I’ll have to just use double dash as my guard and shoot constantly

[sweet brook]

dash/special and reload at the same time btw

it'll cancel the reload animation so you can maintain mobility

[cedar delta]

Reload first!

[sweet brook]

well same time works

but if you want to stagger it by a bit then yeah reload first

[cedar delta]

Oh

That'll up my Hestia game a bit

[sweet brook]

tbf it doesn't matter too much since the reload takes the same amount of time

[cedar delta]

once I start playing again

[sweet brook]

lmao mood

i just did a run lmao i should post that

[abstract scaffold]

Gotta say, this game grew on me. I never thought I’d have fun at first, but the rail changed all that LOL

I just hate the asphadel area with a passion. Everything burns you and does lasting damage even when you have resistance

BTW my god mode is maxed out

BTW is rocket bomb better than the regular special for rail? I’m trying it out

[final dune]

yes

see if on second hammer after rocket u can get cluster bomb

it’s bugged so the base damage isn’t reduced

so you essentially get a 400 damage nuke

[sweet brook]

rocket lands faster and does more damage so it's just generally better

[abstract scaffold]

I finished an area. If I switch from collar to something else do I lose the 50 hp?

[sweet brook]

yes

keepsake buffs don't carry over

[abstract scaffold]

Unless of course I use an olympian to get a buff boon then that part of it stays

But yeah I get it

[abstract scaffold]

I’m finding out that inflicting weak on enemies is huge

I’m heading to the third zone with both dd items and still a decent chunk of hp to boot

Both my bullets and rockets deal weak now and it lasts at least 7 sec per time

[cedar delta]

Bullets (other than Hestia's special bullet) are not good candidates for Aphrodite's boons because their base damage is low. I'd much rather take Zeus's flat damage on them for decent damage. Best defense is a good offense

[abstract scaffold]

Strong drunk is saving me too. I just got to full hp with a fountain and I have 220 hp max

[sweet brook]

aphrodite attack on rail is certainly an option lmao

[abstract scaffold]

I guess for me the weaker damage adds up over time and it’s making my run better

[sweet brook]

on the other hand, you can kill them in half the time instead lmao

[abstract scaffold]

I completely undderstand what you’re saying.

Anyway I’m liking alyseum better, there’s lots of room to dash and traps aren’t really a huge issue

The fire and dash is great there

[abstract scaffold]

Oh my goodness!!!! I just beat the gladiators boss on my first try!!!!!!

This is absolutely awesome!!! Gun is my weapon for good

I must say I got very lucky and didn’t run into butterfly ball

[abstract scaffold]

Holy crap I’m about to fight Hades!!!!!

Not sure if I’ll make it but it’ll be worth the experience.

[abstract scaffold]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!! I ESCAPED!!!!!!!

Maxing out the hp was the way. I had a max of 345 hp and still one DD in my pocket unused! Thanks guys for the help and suggestions. It turned out that fire & dash constantly was good enough on god mode. I may have never made it without strong drunk.

Thunder dash too for chip damage

I must say I need to get better at hiding behind pillars to avoid Hades’ lasers

But who cares? I did it in under a week!

[cedar delta]

Graaats. Keep going! Plenty left to enjoy

[abstract scaffold]

Definitely. At least now I won’t care if I have a friend help with future escapes, I did one completely on my own and that was the goal.

[north ice]

Blackholicious, you want an illigal tip fpr the Hades fight?

[sweet brook]

and you thought it was gonna take months lmao

Nice

[abstract scaffold]

Definitely helps when you have the right weapon.

[abstract scaffold]

Oh, what just happened here? I equipped the keepsake from Zeus, expecting his blessing when I got my next moon, and instead, I got Demeter.

[final dune]

did you just reach the surface for the first time

the game will sometimes force god boons over the keepsake you use

for story events

[upbeat spoke]

yep, but the keepsake will keep the charge and will just work for the boon after

[abstract scaffold]

OK, I’m guessing Demeter was just a part of the story that had to happen.

[upbeat spoke]

if this is your first run after reaching the surface then yes that is forced

[restive ice]

I've been playing hades since it came out on the switch yet I am still so bad with anything but the blade (note I don't play anything else) lol

I'm finally trying it so I can keep earning stuff on it cause I've maxed my pact on the blade, what's best to increase spear damage?

[north ice]

I think artemis is really good for the spear, so is Ares

[final dune]

so u have aspects right

do achilles aspect

get hunting blades

[restive ice]

I do and okay cool, I will try those. I've never done much with the other weapons so I didn't know what was best

[cedar delta]

Spear: Archilles, hidden (with Charged Skewer)
Shield: Zeus, hidden
Bow: all but Chiron
Fists: Demeter
Rail: all

[restive ice]

thank you so much !!!!!

[kind cloud]

charon's well tips? i generally don't touch stygian shard ever which is probably something i shouldn't be doing

[dusty vault]

Use them if you have soare money really.
Casts benefit most from it due to having way more limited ways to increase their dmg.
Stygian shard is fun if you get more than one, as the dmg is multiplicative.
Same goes for ichors (good if you have rush delivery)

Hydralite good for extra health and what now

Yarn of ariadne also boosts legendary/duo boons chances

Oh yeah, if you use Charon's keepsake in elysium, then when going to Styx you buy anything from the well, any item will last to the final boss assuming you get a 2 sack

[velvet chasm]

chiron is the worst bow aspect? damn it was my favourite one so far

[sweet brook]

It works fine for clearing

It just falls off at the extremes harder and earlier than the others

[humble herald]

It can still be your favorite! The ways it isn't good won't actually affect you unless you're doing speedrunning or other challenges, the kind of extremes I think Bananas is talking about.

[final dune]

mumei in sggcord jumpscare

[humble herald]

I'm here sometimes

[mighty patio]

generally would flurry fire or ricochet fire be better for zag rail

[final dune]

3rd option?

[mighty patio]

seeking fire

i didn't really like that one though when I chose it

[final dune]

1st or 2nd hammer

[mighty patio]

2nd

1st was triple bomb

[final dune]

flurry

[mighty patio]

okay thx

[final dune]

all options suck tho

[steep storm]

hade

[north ice]

s

[stoic raven]

god of the dead

[north ice]

father of zagreus

[left flare]

what's the best keepsake?

[final dune]

god keepsakes

and then acorn or hourglass after aspho

[sweet brook]

almost always it's gonna be acorn

[left flare]

i use hourglass and then the tooth since they're the only 3 star i have

what does acorn do again?

[cedar delta]

Straight up eats and negates a certain number of hits during boss fights (including from adds, so be careful)

[proven pivot]

What is this "adds" term I keep seeing?

[wooden dirge]

extra enemies the main boss summons

[cedar delta]

Additions, if you will

[jaunty rivet]

Ugh barely made it out with Poseidon aspect sword and Athena cast.

What cast is Poseidon aspect best with?

[dusty vault]

Phalanx or crush shot

[fiery plank]

Demeter fists might be my new favorite aspect

Hold attack and dash every half second to win

[naive bear]

which boon of ||chaos|| should i get: ||atrophic ambush; caustic soul or enshrouded favor? im leaning towards the one of the 1st two but idk||

[wooden dirge]

||chaos|| boons depends upon your aspect and build you're doing

but the 3 boons u got are pretty meh so whichever

[dusty vault]

Hp/rarity are nice

[kind cloud]

are ||demeter's boons|| much rarer than the others? i've only gotten her boons a few times

like actually 4 times so far

[dusty vault]

No

Just bad rng

If you have their keepsake then fill your god pool it'll be easier to find their boons

[kind cloud]

fill the god pool?

there's a limited number of gods per run?

[dusty vault]

If you get a boon from a god they get added to your pool, once you find 4 different gods those get locked in

The rest won't appear (excluding hermes-chaos as they work differently)

[kind cloud]

I see

[naive bear]

whats the difference between bull rush and power rush how do i know if im doing one or the other do i just have to wait for longer to get a power rush

[rain jungle]

you have to time it right for a power rush (same as a power shot with the bow) and only if you have the right hammer upgrade

[upbeat spoke]

power rush is like a brief moment during the charging if you have the hammer, so if you wait too long it's gone

so you have to release at the exact time

[jaunty rivet]

Best boons for hidden shield aspect? And also Zeus aspect?

[sweet brook]

for hidden shield:
poseidon cast + artemis attack (or anything to open the duo) -> mirage shot duo. mirage shot is bugged to deal 100% damage instead of 30% on hidden shield, so you want to try and get it.
for zeus:
zeus special and aim for static discharge. that's pretty much it lol pom static discharge as much as possible

[jaunty rivet]

Thanks I'll give it a try. Last I tried the hidden shield, I was mostly using the throw rather than the attack

[nimble whale]

hello im new to the game

im stuck in a room with the hound

[still nacelle]

just keep exploring the tunnel on the left side

[nimble whale]

i have to complete all the 5 dungeons?

[still nacelle]

then go to him

he should have an exclaimation mark

[nimble whale]

i will probably die before completing all the tunnels

[still nacelle]

no, the thing you need can range between 2-5 tunnels until you find it

[nimble whale]

oh ok thanks for the info

[still nacelle]

5 is not as likely as 2

[nimble whale]

what

hade healed to full hp

💀

[wooden dirge]

||that's the start of his 2nd phase||

[restive portal]

Only 3 more to go...

[nimble whale]

[restive portal]

(possibly not entirely serious)

[nimble whale]

[cedar flame]

when should i start to unlock aspects?

[brittle ginkgo]

hey guys, im new to the game and im really getting clapped by hades, the tunnels for cerberus keep stretching my revives thin

mostly the poison

[dusty vault]

Grab poseidon dash or cast add breaking wave and styx is done

The tunnels are so small they keep being knocked around till death

Do the mini boss tunnels first (skull icon under the reward) they are easier than normal rooms

If panicking when poisoned pause the game so you can look for the cure calmly @brittle ginkgo

[dusty vault]

As soon as possible really
Just look at your fav weapon, see something that calls for your attention and unlock it (even if blood is somewhat limited before the first win)

If you want to lessen that a bit either
-look at the pins here, there's a list of how much power you can expect from the aspects at each lvl
Or
If you use blood and don't like the aspect, go into a run and press give up (and don't go into Zag's bedroom by accident, that will save the game)

It'll revert your save to before you used the blood

[cedar flame]

i've got 5 blood yet

my fav is malphons fist currently

[dusty vault]

Dem fists is the best aspect for it (may not feel as good if its low lvl but still)

Fists also do feel quite similarlish between aspects sadly

[cedar flame]

alright thank you

where can i unlock the aspects?

[cedar flame]

oh so the aspects usually change the playstyle of the weapon?

[dusty vault]

Oh you don't have aspects yet

Unlock all weapons (6 weapons in total)>do a run>back at courtyard weapons should be glowing

Interact with the pedestal of your weapon equipped

[dusty vault]

Yup, some more than others

[cedar flame]

thank you

[cedar flame]

good to know ty

1 weapon is missing for me

had got a nice run yesterday i beat the 2nd boss there

[brittle ginkgo]

oh yeah, thanks

[abstract scaffold]

If it’s not too much trouble, could someone please send me an image of a door entry where you will get a hammer to upgrade your weapon in the next room? My vision challenge is getting me confused on which rooms will give me a hammer and which ones will give me God bones.

BTW, I’m finding that starting with Poseidon and trying for tidal dash and adding things to it is a great build for me.

[faint umbra]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hades_gamepedia_en/images/3/3e/Daedalus_Hammer.png/revision/latest?cb=20181212011510
This is how it looks like, if it helps any

[abstract scaffold]

Thanks for that. The red handled sort of gives it away. Got cluster bombs with one of those last night, and most of the run became a literal joke. I got all the way through with no uses of death defiance.

And by the way, my entire mirror is available to me now. Should I go for weapon aspects next, or titan blood, or what?

BTW, is fishing sort of a luck thing? I press the right bumper when I feel my controller vibrate, assuming that a fish is tugging on my line. But most of the time I get nothing. I have succeeded twice. So is it kind of based on luck?

[dusty vault]

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.

About the rumble, when is a real catch the rumble is way stronger

If I remember correctly

[abstract scaffold]

OK. I guess I can understand that. But I didn’t feel like the rumble was any more pronounced when it was real.

[dusty vault]

Sound should be different too but may be difficult to hear with the ost in the background

[cedar delta]

The sound is pretty pronounced, and it gets me 75% of the way there on its own

[cedar flame]

why don't i get any titans blood from hydra/erinye

and no diamonds anymore

[craggy peak]

You only get the reward one time per weapon

Until you finish a run at least

[cedar flame]

damn

[craggy peak]

So ya got 6 titan blood total you can get until then

[broken girder]

Along with 6 diamonds

[craggy peak]

other than that I recommend getting more darkness for the mirror

[cedar flame]

how many bosses are there

[cedar flame]

alright i will ty

[craggy peak]

Four

[cedar flame]

oh well died to the 3rd rn

[craggy peak]

They are hard to get through at first but keep at it and you’ll be fine

[lost tendon]

Does acquiring titan blood speed up after beating the final boss? The 12 from my first six and trading away my 6 ambrosia doesn’t seem like a lot compared to how much is needed for upgrades.

[broken girder]

It does if you get comfortable with the weapons

[lost tendon]

What are the main ways of acquiring it. Is trading 20 nectar>2diamonds>ambrosia>more blood the best way to do it?

[sweet brook]

The better you get at the game the faster titan blood comes in, and since you're always improving it will always be faster

[lost tendon]

Oh do I get more per weapon when I increase the heat level?

[upbeat spoke]

one for each level for each weapon

well two

first and last boss

[lost tendon]

Ah that makes sense

[upbeat spoke]

also you can buy it sometimes in last shop

[lost tendon]

I haven’t used the heat yet so I was confused

[dusty vault]

There are a few prophecies that also give blood iirc

[cedar delta]

15 keys for 1 blood sometimes at the broker! Good deal

[dusty vault]

Always keep 15 keys with you in case-

Yeah that one

[cedar delta]

Fishing in the final area!

[broken girder]

Fishing… my enemy

[cedar flame]

got chaos shield before btw
but well it feels just like the normal shield

[dusty vault]

Ah, chaos shield

At lvl 1 yeah it won't feel any different

at lvl 5 is just kinda bad

[cedar flame]

oh really?

so i shouldn't get it to lvl 5?

[final dune]

just dont level it up

not worth

[cedar flame]

alright ty

already leveled it up to 3 before rip

which weapon aspects should i level up

[final dune]

on shield zeus is good

[cedar flame]

alright ty

[final dune]

you have them for all already

[cedar flame]

yeah mb didn't realize that i have to equip a weapon to see the aspects lmao

[brittle ginkgo]

I al determined that poison pools are the worst thing to ever welcome me

[jaunty rivet]

How do I know if by doing the dice rolling thing that I will get a god boon instead of coins ?

Been trying to get curse of drowning for the prophecy but so far no luck

[final dune]

not rlly guaranteed

use the other option

much better

[molten valley]

hey I can never decide while picking hermes boon on fists, which of these is the best? +3 dashes, side hustle, swift strike thanks

[broken girder]

Kinda depends on your build, but more dashes mean more iframes so I would probably take that

[molten valley]

thanks ❤️

[weak burrow]

i would say dashes especially if you have gilgamesh

[dusty vault]

Dashes or hyper sprint into rush delivery are like the best options no matter the weapon really

[naive bear]

My only goal for this game isn't to beat it but to just be knowledgeable enough to actually give good advice in this channel

Because rn I'm about as useful as a paralysed rock climber

[opaque scroll]

Just lurk and you'll be there in no time, trust me.

[weak burrow]

for me the easiest way to beat the game is zeus aspect shield

[broken girder]

It is for many

[weak burrow]

blovk everything

its so cheesy

[opaque scroll]

Zagfist Plume for true braindead gaming.

[opaque scroll]

What's your build? I'm curious.

[broken girder]

Ngl I did that with Athena attack and sprint, you basically don’t die anymore, but it’s very slow

[naive bear]

Zeus shield and zeus boons

[weak burrow]

whats that agin

is it with gilgamesh

[opaque scroll]

Really? What was your mirror like?

[naive bear]

Got that from here as well

[naive bear]

The 2 times I've gotten to the final boss was from that

[opaque scroll]

Nah, Zagreus Fist and Lambent Plume, you become basically untouchable and it's a guaranteed win up to a certain heat.

[broken girder]

It’s really good

[naive bear]

||why tf does hades have to restore all his health and be stronger when u get him to 1% health its hard enough getting to him||

[opaque scroll]

Lmao, makes sense, is it fun?

[naive bear]

Spoiler for final boss

[broken girder]

I posted the victory in

#h1-victory-boasting message

[naive bear]

So fun

[opaque scroll]

Because he's ur dad lol.

[opaque scroll]

Niiiiiiice, what's ur mirror look like?

[naive bear]

He should be a good dad tho

[opaque scroll]

Every Dad should be a good Dad. He's an Olympian tho so good luck with that lmao.

[naive bear]

I unlocked the stuff with 10 keys and I'm using the 50 bonus health

[naive bear]

And stubborn degiance

[broken girder]

He is a good dad

[still nacelle]

Stubborn is worse compared to Death Defiance

[opaque scroll]

Niiiiiice

[opaque scroll]

BASED.

[broken girder]

I feel like It kinda depends

[opaque scroll]

But consider how based it is tho...

[still nacelle]

Unless you used lasting consequences 4

Dd is always better

[naive bear]

But stubborn defiance with some touch of styx is just death defiance but for every chamber

[still nacelle]

Just don’t get hit then

Said hypnos

[broken girder]

Well unless you play with || hs or a lot of heat || you only get killed in bossfights

[opaque scroll]

Shadow is generally better than Fiery on fists.

[naive bear]

I got recommended this video about hades max heat being completed wtf does that mean

[weak burrow]

im on a losing streak on a new file of 9😭

[still nacelle]

I’m kidding but you realistically only use death defiance at boss

[broken girder]

Yes I know, I just saw the aspect and thought “you know what would be neat” and did it, didn’t think much about the mirror

[opaque scroll]

But I personally also use High Confidence and Ruthless Reflex to maximise damage.

[opaque scroll]

Fr, and if you're skilled enough you can cope with a boss with SD.

[opaque scroll]

It means that up until recently no person was able to beat Hades at max heat.

[opaque scroll]

Fair.

[naive bear]

Ik that but what is heat

[opaque scroll]

Oh yeah, you haven't beat [redacted] yet.

Basically the game hasn't even started for you.

[naive bear]

No I've been absolutely screwed over by redacted

[opaque scroll]

First time u saw ||Second Phase|| what did u think?

[broken girder]

What’s the issue with redacted?

[opaque scroll]

Skill Issue.

[gritty elm]

My mirror of the night things are shadow presence, chthonic vitality, death defiance, greater reflex, boiling blood, infernal soul, deep pockets, thick skin, priveleged status, dark foresight, god's legacy and fated authority
What should I change in those?

[broken girder]

What weapon are you using?

[dusty vault]

Legacy for pride and authorithy for persuasion

[naive bear]

||WHAT THE FÜCK HE WAS LITERALLY DEAD NOW HES ON FULL HEALTH WTF CAN I DO WITH 20 HP LEFT||

[gritty elm]

I mean Im gonna consider that perduation, I barely use authorithy

[broken girder]

How come you were at 20 by the ||end of 1? ||

[opaque scroll]

Lmao, My luck stat in Hades is genuinely insane, I was genuinely too stacked to care on my first run meeting ||Hades.||

[naive bear]

I'm ass

[opaque scroll]

I'm genuinely brain dead

I'm so sorry for whoever got spoiled by that

Damn

[gritty elm]

Uh how do I get special aspects

[naive bear]

@gritty elm I just realised u have a geometry dash profile picture right

[gritty elm]

Yes

[opaque scroll]

Titan Blood

[naive bear]

I only recognised it because I use that ufo

[gritty elm]

I meant hidden aspects ops

[broken girder]

I think they’re pinned in #h1-story-discussion

[dusty vault]

Check #h1-story-discussion pins 8f you lean the hidden ones

[gritty elm]

Oh ok ty

[opaque scroll]

They play SD rember?

[naive bear]

What other aspect combos are there bcs I'm a bit tired of using shield I wanna use spear or the nes power gloves

[broken girder]

|| What attack did you have the most issues with? ||

[dusty vault]

For fists dem os the hest aspect but they all play quite the same

[naive bear]

Is that directed to me?

[broken girder]

Well fists are either just Demeter and merciful end build or plume with zag fists

[dusty vault]

Use merciful end/zeus attack and what not

[opaque scroll]

ZAGFIST PLUME GAMING

[broken girder]

Yes click it

[opaque scroll]

u got Lambent Plume?

[naive bear]

I did click it but I thought someone else was asking lmak

[naive bear]

Lmao

[naive bear]

I think so

It's hermes keepsake right

[dusty vault]

Yeah

[opaque scroll]

Aite, for maximum effect do this if possible

[naive bear]

Yea I got it

[opaque scroll]

And this, I assume u have Fiery cuz Zeus Shield.

[naive bear]

Aite?

[opaque scroll]

Alright.

Usually I say aii, tbh.

[naive bear]

Oh wow I'm stupid

[opaque scroll]

Nah, I just speak weird, trust me.

[opaque scroll]

Btw, English your first language?

[broken girder]

|| Simplest for fists is basically plume and zag fists, along with Athena dash and aphro or dio attack, and that boon from hermes that gives additional dodge rate ||

[naive bear]

Yep that's what makes it worse

What does zag fists do

[dusty vault]

+15% dodge

[broken girder]

You can also go for a merciful end built but it’s very luck depending or I’m just terribly unlucky

[naive bear]

Thanks

[dusty vault]

The joke is just stacking dodge chance

It can work but if your boons are awful you'll barely get plume to proc

[naive bear]

A merciful end?

[wooden dirge]

unlucky

[opaque scroll]

I'd also add Zeus fists to the build tbh because the dps is insane, honestly all zeus if possible Zeus is genuinely cracked on most builds (I hate him tho)

[dusty vault]

Ares-athena duo

[broken girder]

It’s the duo boon of ares and Athena

[naive bear]

Oh I haven't gotten any duos yet

[dusty vault]

If enemy has doom and you hit them with any deflect ability doom procs instantly

Instead of waiting

[opaque scroll]

Ahhhh, that's why, mb mb

[broken girder]

Can you get merciful end with Athena only on dash?

[wooden dirge]

nope

[dusty vault]

No

[wooden dirge]

attk or special

[dusty vault]

It was nerfed to not have dash as requisite

You can guess why

[opaque scroll]

Yeah, prolly go for Zeus build to be safe.

[broken girder]

That explains it

Can I get dash afterwards tho?

[dusty vault]

Yes

[opaque scroll]

You gotta build your mirror more to optimally force duos.

[dusty vault]

You want the dash

So you can dash strike to inflict doom and instant proc

[naive bear]

How do I see the reqs for duos

[broken girder]

Yes, I’ll try to do it today perhaps I’ll get more lucky…

[opaque scroll]

Divine Dash Addiction is real, get help kids.

[dusty vault]

Do you have the codex upgrade yet

[broken girder]

It’s just too good

[dusty vault]

(work order)

[naive bear]

I don't think so

[opaque scroll]

Indeed.

[naive bear]

Wait maybe I do

What's the codex again

[broken girder]

That book

[dusty vault]

The journal

[broken girder]

With all the info

[naive bear]

Oh yea i have the codex

[dusty vault]

C on keyboard I think

Yeah but the boon requisites is an upgrade

[naive bear]

Controller supremacy

[dusty vault]

Check an olympian's page and see if at the bottom there's a "press - to see boon list"

I'm recovering

[naive bear]

I may have some pretty dodgy opinions but the most based opinion is that the styx boss fight is the best by far

[opaque scroll]

I need to switch tbh, my mouse is too broken.

[dusty vault]

Styx as in the final boss?

[wooden dirge]

now i wanna see what's my most used boon is

[dusty vault]

Or the mini bosses

[broken girder]

It is the best

[dusty vault]

Mine is tidal dash

[opaque scroll]

Based.

[naive bear]

||nope the totally real and thrilling fight against cerby||

[weak burrow]

[dusty vault]

So true

[broken girder]

I remember the time I tried to beat [redacted] with only tidal dash

[opaque scroll]

At a certain point it does become real actually lol.

[naive bear]

Divine dash is way to good I love it

[naive bear]

WHAT

[opaque scroll]

It is, you basically never use any other even though they're all good.

[broken girder]

Tidal is also really good

[naive bear]

Which cast boon gives cast the most damage

[dusty vault]

Hunter is solid on bows

[broken girder]

Bc of those annoying skulls

[opaque scroll]

Less of a fight, more of you getting mowed down by the goodest boi, but essentially yes.

[naive bear]

It doesn't do much damage though...does it

[dusty vault]

Trippy shot (dio)/aphro second

[opaque scroll]

Aphrodite or Dionysus I'm pretty sure.

Been a while since I played.

[naive bear]

Ok thanks I always thought it was athena

[broken girder]

If you had hunter dash on fists, does it boost the entire combo or only first punch? You hold the button down like the bow after all

[dusty vault]

Is the highest dmg dash

[dusty vault]

Only the sweep

[broken girder]

Oh alr

[dusty vault]

Also tidal dash is an easy way to destroy styx

[opaque scroll]

You're thinking too simply, cc is an important part of damage.

[dusty vault]

Get breaking wave and watch as the enemies play ping pong on themselves

[broken girder]

I wanna try full knockback fists too, there’s just so much to do with fists

[opaque scroll]

The knockback makes it arguably as good as Divine Dash.

[naive bear]

Cc?

[dusty vault]

Crowd control

[opaque scroll]

Fr, there's so many build with it, I'd prolly do it with Talos Fist.

[naive bear]

Bloody hell why is my English so bad today

Syrian refugees probably know more than me

[opaque scroll]

We're using slang, it makes perfect sense lol.

[broken girder]

That got nothing to do with English dw

[dusty vault]

More than english I think is just unkown slang lol

[wooden dirge]

it's hyper sprint

second is dd lol

[dusty vault]

Oh yeah hyper sprint is also on my top picks

Prob 2nd?

[naive bear]

I should know slang though I'm gen z that's like the golden age of slang

[broken girder]

That’s hades slang tho

Not something people would actually use I think

[opaque scroll]

Homie, if you think just cuz we're gen z we can comprehend the sheer amount of slang that exists then you're cracked.

Gen Z is literally another language at a certain point.

[wooden dirge]

grue

[broken girder]

And every second thing is just the skull emoji

[weak burrow]

[opaque scroll]

And -ussy.

[opaque scroll]

I'm cringe I use gamer slang irl constantly.

[broken girder]

I do sometimes too, it’s even worse bc people here don’t even speak English…

[opaque scroll]

Aphro Aid 1st
PP 2nd
3rd Divine Dash.

[naive bear]

I mean cc is in many games and I'm a game addict I should've got it

[dusty vault]

Aphro call???

How

[broken girder]

Where do you even see that?

[dusty vault]

Admin chamber

[broken girder]

Oh

[opaque scroll]

Btw @naive bear Some other builds are:
Yo-yo Fist Talos fists + Pos Special
Flurry Slash is really good on spear and I personally get Extended Jab to embarass enemies.

[opaque scroll]

Pure Determination.

Plus I feel like Aphro is hella underrated, she's one of the best gods in the game.

[naive bear]

Yo yo fists wtf

[opaque scroll]

You'll see.

[dusty vault]

Yo yo talos is fun until you get to a boss

[broken girder]

3 chambers in and I’m already down to 15hp I’m terrible today

[dusty vault]

Where you cry at the lack of dmg

[opaque scroll]

Then you gigachad em with Quake Slam.

[opaque scroll]

||Heat?||

[broken girder]

12 but it’s simple things

Im trying to go just with tidal dash

[opaque scroll]

I feel like the best thing to stack on Talos is Uncle Pos and Ares.

[dusty vault]

The best thing is play it like the other fists

[opaque scroll]

||Pact of Punishment set up? Just curious||

[opaque scroll]

lmao.

My hottest take is that Gilga is best fists.

[wooden dirge]

that sure is a take

[broken girder]

|| Td 2 em2 and that thing that speeds up enemies on max ||

[opaque scroll]

I just build better with it, it was made for me.

[broken girder]

I just got that second cast duo boon, I don’t even have a cast yet, do I take it?

[wooden dirge]

||forced overtime?||

[dusty vault]

Mirage shot always sneaks on random builds lmao

[opaque scroll]

Ahhh, FO messes with your flow a lot at first.

[dusty vault]

If you are trying to set up sea storm might as well

Also from what god did you get it

[broken girder]

Poseidon

[dusty vault]

Do you have razor shoals/breaking wave?

Might be worth to roll for either

[broken girder]

The others are that the knockback effects do that weird damage thing 20 per 0,2 seconds and cast, both of them are epic

All three are good

I never had this problem

I just gave tidal dash and Artemis aid

Nothing else

[dusty vault]

Razor shoals does lot of dmg

[broken girder]

It’s chamber 5

[wooden dirge]

breaking wave is good

[broken girder]

So, let the duo boon rest for now?

[wooden dirge]

which aspect and build

[dusty vault]

Hidden fists tidal dash it seems?

[broken girder]

Zag fists and as much knockback as possible

[dusty vault]

Oh zag fists

[broken girder]

I don’t have hidden yet bc that Minotaur doesn’t wanna give me words

[dusty vault]

Yeah it doesn't do anything

[opaque scroll]

Lmao, yeah, people have extreme rng issues in this game sometimes, It's crazy to me.

[dusty vault]

Shoals/Beaver will help more

[broken girder]

Alright thank you

[dusty vault]

Only duo you want (but don't really shoot for) is sea storm

Cuz wet dash doesn't open it

[still nacelle]

Wet dash is crap, especially with heighten security

I throw a lot of run because of ||pots||

Or it just me but I will take hunter dash over wet dash everytime

[dusty vault]

Just you but also depends on weapon

[opaque scroll]

Fair.

[wooden dirge]

high heat problems

it's still funny how hs in 1 heat but also one of the worst pacts

[still nacelle]

Without it, wet dash is top tier no doubt

[knotty sphinx]

hehe moist dash

[still nacelle]

I just have love-hate relationship with poseidon

[opaque scroll]

And how every person seems to think it's free but is actually one of the most unfair pacts in existence.

[broken girder]

I got it again

[opaque scroll]

soaked dash.

[opaque scroll]

Me with Zeus fr.

[broken girder]

All 3 good again

[knotty sphinx]

damped dash.

[wooden dirge]

what r the other 2

[broken girder]

Obv it only happens in an experimental run

Uh the one that gives extra damage if you push them into walls and Poseidon attack

[dusty vault]

I don't like thyphoon really

It doesn't feel the same as B.wave

Attack will eventually open sea storm if you run into zeus

[still nacelle]

Typhoon is not bad, just bwave being broken

[broken girder]

So attack or duo?

[dusty vault]

No reason to take duo

[broken girder]

True

[wooden dirge]

is beaver the one that can instaphase redacted with demeter?

[dusty vault]

Unless to sell/keep so it doesn't bother you more

[dusty vault]

Yeah

Funny pillar thing

[broken girder]

I’ll take attack anyway, I need some sort of damage against the first boss now

[dusty vault]

Also spoiler the name

[wooden dirge]

whoops

[broken girder]

Uh that was quick, this build might actually be good holy

[opaque scroll]

mildew dash

[dusty vault]

Tidal dash good

[opaque scroll]

Yeah, some builds just need scaling.

[knotty sphinx]

drenched in water dash

[opaque scroll]

With the heat I'm on rn, I'm either dead before Elysium or unbeatable if I reach it.

[broken girder]

I kinda feel like my controls might actually be good for this build, I have dash on left trigger and attack on right

[opaque scroll]

Hydration Dash.

[dusty vault]

Also why are we in the new players channel still

[opaque scroll]

Yeah I have a similar build on mouse, very comfy.

[knotty sphinx]

h2o dash

[opaque scroll]

Cuz peeps prolly don't wanna be spoiled in normal chat.

[opaque scroll]

Sweat dash

[dusty vault]

I don't think most people talking here rn can be spoiled

[knotty sphinx]

tears dash

[opaque scroll]

What's ur set up on controller? I wanna switch.

[opaque scroll]

Loogie Dash

[broken girder]

Uh you mean the controls or?

[knotty sphinx]

pee dash

that should be a skin

[opaque scroll]

Snot dash

[knotty sphinx]

pepsi dash

[opaque scroll]

Ye.

[opaque scroll]

Pilk Dash

[opaque scroll]

What should?

[knotty sphinx]

pee dash

[weak burrow]

my favorite part about today is that fact that i have died to the last phase of hades 6 times

when he was on 5%

[opaque scroll]

Actual Misery, what heat?

[still nacelle]

Change sea storm dash into yellow seem like a cursed feature fr if they implement it

[broken girder]

Uh aid on A the help thing on the lower cross cast on b and the rest you know already or is standard

[opaque scroll]

Gotcha.

[knotty sphinx]

make it bright yellow and call it "sunset sea skin"

[weak burrow]

12

[broken girder]

Alright this Poseidon attack and dash combo is really good

[dusty vault]

dash may be doing the heavy job there

[opaque scroll]

U got Knockback Boons?

[broken girder]

Yes a few

[opaque scroll]

The double rebound effect is insane tho.

[opaque scroll]

Which ones? I mean passives btw.

[broken girder]

No passives I think

[weak burrow]

13 times

😔

[broken girder]

Oh i died to the hydra

It still takes time getting used to em2

[opaque scroll]

Ahhhh, get some, they're insane

[opaque scroll]

What's ur build?

[weak burrow]

nemesis, 20% butterfly, artemis att, ares special, artemis cast, posiedon call

i ususally beat hades prettey consistently with this up until 10 heat

[still nacelle]

I wouldn’t recommend 🦋 especially melee weapon

[weak burrow]

why

[still nacelle]

Because the damage is addtive, you have way less control of your build

And you have to keep it the entire run to even get the benefit

[opaque scroll]

You use Butterfly? You're actually cracked.
Mirror?

[still nacelle]

20% is quite good on nemesis ngl

But you can just by a jerky from charon and save yourself from the hassle of playing hitless

[opaque scroll]

What's ur mirror look like?

[sweet brook]

It's a lot of effort for a pretty mid damage bonus and no control of your build lmao

You're likely to get more damage from a good build rather than butterfly

[weak burrow]

only for nemesis

its works the best for me

[steady lark]

its +6 dmg per hit i think

[weak burrow]

and i usually stop getting bonuses after asphodel

[opaque scroll]

Fair enuff, u got Erebus rooms yet?

[still nacelle]

Smth like this #h1-victory-boasting message

[sweet brook]

That's why butterfly sucks lmao

[honest yew]

Hi whats the best way to reset? Like for example on an attempt to do a run when the boon showcase are bad

How to reset instance

[dusty vault]

Just afk near an enemy/trap

[weak burrow]

not yet

idk what they do

it took me a while to know and use chaos so

[dusty vault]

If you mean like getting a specific thing chamber 1, use ||heightened security and routine inspection 4||

[weak burrow]

true

[opaque scroll]

Prolly switch to Shadow Presence and Ruthless Reflex.

[dusty vault]

Your mirror is all meta choices

[still nacelle]

2 dash peasant can’t play 1 dash

[opaque scroll]

They reward u for not taking damage, prolly would be best if you're taking Butterfly.

[dusty vault]

2 dashes are simply better

[weak burrow]

is erubus the 5 diamond one

[dusty vault]

Not a peasant thing

[opaque scroll]

Lmao, it scales well with ur build because it adds %dmg and dodge and u can add dashes with Hermes.

[sweet brook]

Don't do that lmao

The mirror is fine as is, just switch SD to DD

[stoic raven]

yes, or 6(i forgot)

[opaque scroll]

I don't think so, it should be the thing that pops up on the floor with a boon on it that u can enter with a certain amount of heat.

[dusty vault]

The work order costs 5 diamonds

Pretty sure

[opaque scroll]

Fair, just thinking of the Butterfly.

[opaque scroll]

Ahhhh.

[still nacelle]

People from the cult of Dionysus sure is built different

[opaque scroll]

Well we are insane.

[still nacelle]

https://youtu.be/1kFwkQ9XuSs?si=_qhJ7YEVuadM2YpU

[fringe trail]

am I insane for thinking EM2 makes the fight a bit easier?

like, yeah, the lava sucks, but it makes the secondary heads spawn closer to each other, so it can be easier to kill multiple of them at once

[sweet brook]

yeah that sounds about right

speedrunners take em2 because of that lmao

not because it's easier but because the heads are closer

[fringe trail]

it also makes the green ones less reliable

cause I've seen them just throw the little rock things into the lava on EM2

[cedar delta]

It's so satisfying when they just sink into the lava

[cedar flame]

how to unlock the hidden aspects

[fringe trail]

iirc you need to invest blood into spear 1st

[cedar flame]

i don't have blood left

already got the "free" blood with all weapons

i was at last boss rn but failed

[fringe trail]

put 5 blood into spear (aspect doesn't matter) and then at some point someone will give you the ability to unlock the hidden spear aspect

after hidden spear aspect is unlocked, you just need to put 5 blood into the respective weapon and eventually a character will give you what you need to unlock the aspect for that weapon

[cedar flame]

rip i won't be able to get more blood until i beat last boss right

[fringe trail]

you get blood for beating the run, yes

[cedar flame]

rip

[fringe trail]

it's ok, you'll get there eventually

this game is hard

[cedar flame]

i could get guan yu aspect rn if i wouldn't have leveled chaos shield

fml

[dusty vault]

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

[cedar flame]

yeah already got furies blood with all 6 weapons unfortunately and i'm not able to beat hades yet

and i still need keys for the mirror

[dusty vault]

You can probably squeeze unlocking hidden spear through any of this methods but doubt ypu'll be able to unlock anything else after

[cedar delta]

You'll get plenty more blood in a jiffy after your first win. Don't you worry!

[dusty vault]

Still good to keep in mind

[cedar delta]

I'd practice getting good at fishing in case you get lucky after the final boss

[cedar flame]

final boss was literally 1hit but got killed then

[dusty vault]

Depending how many work orders you have left I suggest to trade gemstones for keys

[cedar flame]

death defiance was already used twice

[dusty vault]

Also yeah fishing in the last boss area can net you 1 extra blood

[cedar flame]

is fishing important?

[cedar delta]

Fishing in general is fantastic for meta currency, including keys!

[dusty vault]

^

[cedar delta]

Yes, it's pretty darn important if you want to farm meta currencies quickly

[cedar flame]

so i should just clear a room and fish a bit?

[dusty vault]

Tart/styx give gems, aspho gives keys, elysium gives nectar, chaos gives darkness

[cedar delta]

You should take every fishing point possible if you're still farming lots of currencies

[dusty vault]

And last boss area gives diamond/ambrosia/blood

[cedar delta]

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.

[cedar flame]

are the fishing points marked?

[dusty vault]

Yes

Is a bright dot in the water

[cedar flame]

alright ty

[dusty vault]

At the start of a chamber or at the end of one there's also a ding sound

That indicates if there's a fishing spot

Can also buy skeleton lures from charon wells

[cedar delta]

You do need to have purchased the Fishing Rod from the contractor, by the way

[cedar flame]

yeah i bought it like 1h ago but didn't fish since then

[cedar delta]

Oh good thing we caught you soon after you purchased the rod

[cedar flame]

yeah good timing xD

[opaque scroll]

Miss Nyaanyaa tbh.

[cedar delta]

Where'd the Nyaanyaa go?

[final dune]

banned

[naive bear]

how much endgame stuff after the final boss is there

also whats the replayability like

[broken girder]

Really great

[broken girder]

Quite a bit, actually more than before I think

[naive bear]

thats good.....now i just have to get to the endgame stuff

[stoic raven]

a lot
to the point where only one person has officially finished everything besides custom challenges like boonless

[naive bear]

that one person is the guy who beat max heat hades right

[stoic raven]

yes

there is still a lot of content outside of heat

heat itself has a lot of content as opposed to other games, since you choose how the game gets harder

[naive bear]

just how hard is max heat theres no way only 1 person has beat it

[sweet brook]

i wouldn't be surprised if she already did boonless tbh

[sweet brook]

game wasn't designed for it to be beaten

and also the odds of getting a viable run is super low

viable runs meaning getting the right boons

not accounting for bad enemy rng and skips

[dusty vault]

There's a video by haelian explaining why is it so hard and rare

[naive bear]

what does max heat do does it give zag like 1hp and -80% damage or smthing

[dusty vault]

Which funny enough it was a week before it happened

[sweet brook]

no mirror, 1 boon choice, no healing

and 60% more enemies, all with 30% more hp

that deal 100% more damage

[dusty vault]

A time limit

[sweet brook]

and you're on a timer of 5 min per region

[naive bear]

is that 1 boon total or just 1 god you can choose boons from

[sweet brook]

the average player doesn't get past like chamber 5 at max heat lmao

[sweet brook]

instead of 3 choices per boon, you get 1

[naive bear]

what the actual hell

[dusty vault]

Also applies to hammers and poms

[broken girder]

Good pun

[naive bear]

ooooooohhhh oh god that rng is crazy

[naive bear]

unintended lmao

[sweet brook]

tbf the timer isn't that bad for like <45 heat

for heat runners at least

[stoic raven]

to get 64 heat, youd need:
to be good(not great) at speedrunning due to limited boons choices, forced purges, extra enemy health, harder bosses/minibosses, and a tight timer

be god at the game

have good rng with thunder flourish

[sweet brook]

forced purges aren't that big of a deal

[naive bear]

imagine if some sadist made a mod where it goes up to 100 heat

[sweet brook]

that does exist

[dusty vault]

Just play early access hades too

[sweet brook]

although it goes up to 99 i think lmao

[stoic raven]

to me, no df+less rolls makes it really bad in tart(i forgot if ap applied to purges)

[sweet brook]

it doesnt

[stoic raven]

oh then its fine

[naive bear]

whats so hard about early access hades

[sweet brook]

i think it was just a different heat system

[dusty vault]

Yeah

[sweet brook]

although i do remember certain stuff being like "bruh wtf" lmao

in terms of difficulty

[dusty vault]

Funny numbers mainly

[cedar flame]

i defeat final boss omggg

[sweet brook]

big gamer

[stoic raven]

🎉

[broken girder]

Congrats

[stoic raven]

epic manual emoji fail

[cedar flame]

btw what should i keep in mind for getting good builds? so should i focus on one god etc

tyty guys

shield carried me through this fight lmao

[stoic raven]

focus on synergies, typically involving duos/legendaries

[cedar flame]

uhm guys

i got pranked

[sweet brook]

go through the duo list and see what works for your aspect/weapon

[sweet brook]

classic lmfao

[cedar flame]

there is a second phase?..

[stoic raven]

no

[broken girder]

Oh…

[cedar flame]

uhm well

[dusty vault]

Nice

[cedar flame]

let's hope i'll get this lmao

[sweet brook]

[naive bear]

me and you are in the same boat lmao

[broken girder]

Good luck

[stoic raven]

||he just happens to have a body double||

[broken girder]

Both of you

[sweet brook]

to be fair, the second phase is considered easier than the first so you're big chilling

[naive bear]

im getting a mix of deja vu and ptsd from this

[cedar flame]

i'm dead

[broken girder]

Oh

[cedar flame]

got caught by one of those green things and beamed out of my life

[broken girder]

You’ll get them next time

[naive bear]

it did not feel that way when i was crapping myself during the 2nd phase

[sweet brook]

classic

[cedar flame]

btw where can i exchange my fish

[sweet brook]

lounge

the chef

[broken girder]

The cook

[cedar flame]

got some legendarys this run

[lost tendon]

Does anyone have advice on which hidden aspects are good, like in the pinned message?

[cedar flame]

ty

[naive bear]

head chef in the lounge

nevermind im too late ffs

[stoic raven]

can confirm, i beat second phase on my second attempt(first was to learrn about beams)

[broken girder]

|| Beowulf seems a favourite||

[stoic raven]

thats a spoiler pretty sure

[broken girder]

Thanks

[sweet brook]

bow, shield, and kinda rail are considered the better hidden ones
spear is dependent on getting charged skewer, without it it's pretty garbage. with it, it's extremely strong and safe
sword and fists are pretty bad but they're fine for like casual playing. a lot of people like these two

[naive bear]

||why tf is anglo saxon (i think?, im an idiot idk) mythology in the game||

[sweet brook]

||all the hidden aspects are from other mythologies||

[naive bear]

why is hidden aspects a spoiler

[sweet brook]

because that's after first claer

[broken girder]

It’s meant to be hidden…

[sweet brook]

tbf all the ||heat|| stuff we talked about earlier was supposed to be a spoiler lmao

[dusty vault]

Post reaching the final boss*

[naive bear]

i mean i havent got them but they dont seem to mess with the story

[dusty vault]

No need to beat them

[sweet brook]

right

[dusty vault]

"everything past the final boss is spoilers" - this channel description

[stoic raven]

for some reason i thought it was #h1-discussion because i rarely go here

[naive bear]

i wonder the in story reason for that does zagreus like teleport or smthing

[dusty vault]

Just we have new but not so new and less mods watching here

[stoic raven]

ive only everr seen alma

[dusty vault]

||the explanation is that the weapons just know they'll be there for their wielders, either in the future or past||

[cedar flame]

what can i do with ambrosia

[naive bear]

thats cool

[dusty vault]

That aside a conversation with Than confirms that Zag dash is basically a short range teleport

[stoic raven]

its nectar but for later

[dusty vault]

Cool nectar

[broken girder]

Tasty random nectar

[naive bear]

istg if i dont beat the final boss the next time i get to him im cutting off my left nutsack.....place your bets everyone will i be able to have children

[broken girder]

No I’m sorry but my bet is on no

[stoic raven]

how many runs total?

[dusty vault]

Just avoid hits and keeping your health above 0

While you reduce their hp to 0

[broken girder]

Try not to get hit so much

[stoic raven]

my strat was not facetanking

[lost tendon]

What are some good ways to build ||aspect of Lucifer||? I mainly have trouble focusing on dashing and holding attack, or spamming special.

[naive bear]

like 20-25 i think

[stoic raven]

triple bomb

[broken girder]

God damn you’re a quick learner

[dusty vault]

Play it like eris, zeus atk, tidal dash and yeah triple bomb best hammer

[stoic raven]

pro tip:
get away from him, and attack after his attacks

[broken girder]

Pro tip, listen to Hypnos

[naive bear]

i had no clue

[dusty vault]

No problem

[broken girder]

Hypnos is the best advisor out there

[stoic raven]

i finished at about 20 runs, wouldve been ~15 if i actually kept my distance(the telegraph on jab is too unclear)

[naive bear]

is that good im usualy god(s) awful at games

[broken girder]

So I’m the only one that took 40 runs to reach the dude and about 50 to defeat him?

[naive bear]

i just wanna find one game where im actually "good" i still havent found it

[dusty vault]

Escaped at my 45th run

[stoic raven]

although to be fair i did play a little too much dead cells prior to hades

[broken girder]

I mean I never gave a single thought while playing, thinking about it now I probably could’ve planned a bit

[naive bear]

how good r u im only 1bc lmao

[stoic raven]

5bc door

[dusty vault]

Some top player took 50 attempts to escape

[naive bear]

[broken girder]

All my runs are like, oh this sounds nice let’s see what happens

[dusty vault]

Tl;dr don't compare yourself too much to others and it doesn't really matter (on escape count)

[stoic raven]

i remember when i used to like bow+thunder flourish(not chiron)

[naive bear]

im only doing well bcs im just using zeus shield and zeus boons

[naive bear]

yep ur definitely good

[broken girder]

Or everything (in my case)

[sweet brook]

lmao i suck at dead cells dw

[naive bear]

bro i suck at everything every game i play im ass at.

[sweet brook]

you're like barely 20-25 runs into hades chill

also like

single player game

who cares

[cedar flame]

i don't play anything else then paladins, roguelike/lite games and soulslike games lmao

[stoic raven]

thats already really good

20-25 runs is great

[cedar flame]

i love how i got legendary boon for 20% more fishing chance but keep getting rooms without water

[steady lark]

It took me 87 attempts to escape

[naive bear]

problem is im way to competitive but im too crap to be competitive © (yea take that @broken girder )

[broken girder]

I’m using that from now on

[stoic raven]

competition is based on commitment, not talent

[cedar delta]

Hell mode though 👀

[opaque scroll]

Actually insane.

[final dune]

i have like 1100 hours or something

[opaque scroll]

Indeed, based gaming those two.

[opaque scroll]

What I like most about this game is that those are two viable options.

[opaque scroll]

I have, it's Bricky Boy, I'm goated at it.

[final dune]

this is the only game im "good" at

[opaque scroll]

Same lol.

[final dune]

which should tell you that my general skill in games is pretty low 🗿

[honest yew]

Does mirage shot work with crystal beam?

[dusty vault]

Yeah

[cedar flame]

are there like recommended gods for each weapon?

so on which gods should i focus with malphon for example

[dusty vault]

Slow, big dmg weapons go for gods with a % modifer (most of the time Aphro or Artemis)
Quick and weak hits, go for boons that add am extra dmg source (So Zeus for example or Ares for merciful end builds)

[leaden whale]

i usually go artemis for attack

[cedar flame]

so in general:
slow weapons with good dmg go % boons like for example the one in poseidon
fast weapons go status effects like ares/zeus

is that right?

[dusty vault]

Yup

Just not poseidon

Lowest % bonus moment

[cedar flame]

yeah i realized i fckin hate the knockback lmao

[final dune]

yeah poseidon attack is rlly bad

also the lowest boost

[leaden whale]

poseidon cast is rly good

very large splash

[cedar flame]

most fun run for me yet was exagryph with ares boons

[dusty vault]

Cast/dash are nice yup

[leaden whale]

whenever i use demeter fists i always look for aphrodite special

shes got the highest dmg boost

[cedar flame]

i never gave attention to aphrodite yet tbh

[dusty vault]

Weak is comfy

Also her duo with zeus is run winning

[leaden whale]

i think it never hurts to have weak

[cedar flame]

how to get duos? just saw 2 yet

[leaden whale]

anything that helps with survivability is good

[dusty vault]

Needs one core from each god for most of them basically

[cedar flame]

wdym by core?

[dusty vault]

Some a bit more specific (Merciful end doesn't open with dash or cast/smoldering air needs a call)

[dusty vault]

The boons that always show on the left of your hud

Atk/special/cast/dash/call

[leaden whale]

smoldering air is nice

[cedar flame]

ty

[leaden whale]

pairs great with billowing call

[dusty vault]

There's an upgrade that you can get from work orders that gives your codex a boon list

[cedar flame]

i'd say ares is definitely my favorite yet i just like his boons

[dusty vault]

Is like 50 gems

[leaden whale]

ares is neat, its fun to stack the doom damage

ive never rly had much success with the blade rifts ngl

[dusty vault]

Ares is fun for hunting blades

Doom kinda lame

[leaden whale]

i got two cast boosts from chaos once my rifts were doing insane dmg

still lost that run lol

[cedar flame]

are hermes boons important?

[leaden whale]

never hurts to have hermes

[cedar flame]

what about chaos?

[dusty vault]

Depends on build but basically always good

[dusty vault]

If you don't take him the game will keep forcing his boons on you anyways

And they are great too

[cedar flame]

i like the dash increasing boon

[dusty vault]

Yeah +dashes is great

[leaden whale]

im a fan of the raw move speed tbh

[cedar flame]

that's nice aswell

[dusty vault]

There's also hyper sprint (+100% move speed after dadh and sturdy), which opens rush delivery

Which converts speed into global dmg

[cedar flame]

i don't like the one which gives you 100% movement speed for 0,5seconds after dash

[dusty vault]

Thats hyper sprint

[leaden whale]

i used to not like that one

[cedar flame]

oh damn

i thought i beat the final boss today

then i realized there is a 2nd phase lmao

[dusty vault]

Hyper Sprint+ rush delivery even at common rarity is a 50% DMG increase to anything that comes from zagreus

[leaden whale]

that happened to me as well lol

i think it happened to a lot of us

[dusty vault]

So not only his weapon but things like zeus stuff or your dash

[leaden whale]

i died to the initial wave he gives off

[cedar flame]

what's rush delivery?

[cedar flame]

i died to the beam after getting stunned by the purple hands

[dusty vault]

Your move speed is converted into dmg
50/75/100% of your move speed is converted into dmg depending on rarity

[cedar flame]

ohh damn that sounds op

[dusty vault]

Hermes boon opened by sprint/greater haste or his keepsake

[leaden whale]

hide behind a pillar for the beams

for the all directional beams u can even stand on top of him

[cedar flame]

oh well i wish i would have known that before lmao

[dusty vault]

Also to be even more fun

Movement speed is multiplicative

[leaden whale]

i didnt know that tbh

[dusty vault]

So if you buy any ichor from charon welll....

[cedar flame]

btw which keepsake should i use? i use the raw hp one currently because i just don't know which one i should use

[leaden whale]

no wonder i was going crazy fast when i had two ichors

[leaden whale]

i like the one from achilles

when u max it out, 30% dmg reduction from the front, but +10% dmg from the back

[dusty vault]

The meta for keepsakes is like
God that starts build>(aspho) 2nd god to compliment>ely and styx go acorn (eurydice) for defense

[cedar flame]

so i should a boon keepsake for start?

use*

[dusty vault]

Yeah

[cedar flame]

alright ty

[dusty vault]

Also helps them getting them in your god pool

[cedar flame]

that's quite good to know

[craggy peak]

I would use the god keepsake only if you know what build or boon you want to start don’t just choose any random one

[dusty vault]

Yeah that ^

[craggy peak]

The autocorrect

[dusty vault]

starting tidal dash can work for most thing too lol

[leaden whale]

i didnt know the meta was two god boons tbh, i always switched to ||pom blossom|| on the 2nd floor

[dusty vault]

Should spoiler that one

[leaden whale]

lol mb

dont google that lol
