Secret staches are chests w/ resources inside them
You hit them and Hades summons enemies for you to fight
The longer the fight takes the less of the resource you get

Secret staches are chests w/ resources inside them
Those are infernal troves if I remember right

Possibly
Ohhh
You’re talking about ||companions||
I’ve never seen the word “secret stache” used alongside them it’s been so long
You need to get specific npcs to almost maxxed relationshio
And then complete their specific “favour” to unlock the last heart(s)
To obtain them

Did I mess up unimaginably bad enough to ||get fired||? Or is that just a story point we can't avoid?
restive portal
Story point.
dire river
it also happens in a flashback dream, no? you were already fired when you started the game i think
naive bear
Is there a specific name for hades' art style
I'm asking this here because I haven't beaten the final boss so I would definitely accidentally see spoilers in the hades discussion
restive portal
The game uses an isometric projection, but I don't know of a specific name for Supergiant's style.
spiral stirrup
Hello
naive bear
Seems you escaped....welcome
restive portal
My friend is calling me a week because the art style looks like anime💀
It certainly does not look like "anime". At best, it's a "cartoon" style, but it ain't anime (other than the chibi icons you get for completing a bond). Your friend doesn't know what they're talking about
edgy zinc
it also happens in a flashback dream, no? you were already fired when you starte...
oh i didnt know those were flashbacks lol i just accepted that everything turns gray for no reason 
dire river
It certainly does not look like "anime". At best, it's a "cartoon" style, but it...
it's cartoon style but there are anime influences. i'm not versed in art theory but, i mean, just look at zag's hair or how the characters emote. also, jen zee has anime / manga fanart on her deviantart page
restive portal
There isn't the "big eyes, heart faced shape", except maybe with Dusa. Facial proportions are very non anime.

flashing back to people saying aphrodite is too masculine because she has... cheekbones

the conversation zagreus has with the old man as he discovers ... is funny as hell
vocal peak
wats the best aspect for bow ? :0
vocal peak
also whats the best starting keepsake for the bow ? :0
spiral stirrup
Idk
vocal peak
ok
spiral stirrup
Hmmm
sterile mica
hera and hidden are generally regarded as best
spiral stirrup
Oh
sterile mica
but imo are harder to use
sterile mica
zagbow is decent and doesn't require so much blood
spiral stirrup
Wait
When u use titanblood for a default infernal arm do you get a special ability or smth
sterile mica
?
spiral stirrup
Nvm
sterile mica
aspect of zagreus is the starting aspect technically i suppose
sterile mica
so you need ares attack, athena dash and special
spiral stirrup
Sorry ive never used a combination boon
Ohhh
Ok thanks
Ill remember that
I continue getting zues for some reason tho
Zeus
sterile mica
technically you don't need dash to be offered it
sterile mica
i mean the athena special is required
spiral stirrup
Ahh ok
sterile mica
but you need the dash for it to be actually useful
sterile mica
check out the wiki for duo requirements
sterile mica
is it just lernie?
sterile mica
ok gl
spiral stirrup
Thanks
sterile mica
Hmm?
spiral stirrup
A really tempting offer just came up for boons and stuff
Bruh
I have divine flourish right
and theres an ares boon
but on the other side is a sisyphus chamber
AND
stoic raven
go for attack ares and get athena on dash for merciful end
spiral stirrup
a chaos boon
sterile mica
Ares best
spiral stirrup
Yeah thats what im tryna get
stoic raven
wait which weapon
sterile mica
Do you already have an attack boon?
spiral stirrup
No
sterile mica
Well as long as you made some progress
stoic raven
rip
spiral stirrup
Ill ask for advice if something happens
sterile mica
Alright take it slow and reduce risks
spiral stirrup
k thanks
sterile mica
Fists are pretty unsafe generally
spiral stirrup
I beat boss
sterile mica
But athena dash gives safety
spiral stirrup
Alright
I go
got
blood frenzy
slicing shot
or curse of agony
but i dont have an athena dash
should i still get curse of agony?
sterile mica
or curse of agony
Agony
stoic raven
agony
spiral stirrup
Ok
sterile mica
You can get dash later
stoic raven
curse
stoic raven
aph
stoic raven
different league
stoic raven
no
spiral stirrup
oh easy
done
didnt even need to use revive
Should i keep Athena Keepsake
or smth else
stoic raven
use ares
spiral stirrup
Ok
stoic raven
never keep god keepsakes between biomes
spiral stirrup
How come?
sterile mica
It only guarantees the god 1st time
spiral stirrup
ahh ok
Asphodel yipee
hermes or money
BRUH
i just realised
I forgot to use the ares keepsake
stoic raven
spiral stirrup
i just looked at it for five secs
stoic raven
hermes is cool
spiral stirrup
True
nobody talks about him
cool design
what if i got hermes dash instead of athenas
twin lantern
hermes doesn't have a dash
spiral stirrup
Does it not?
twin lantern
hermes doesn't have a designated boon for anything in fact
it's just a passive bonus
stoic raven
hermes does not have cores
dusty vault
Sprint
dusty vault
From hermes is basically always greatest reflex or sprint into rush delivery
spiral stirrup
wdym
dusty vault
What to take from him I mean
dusty vault
Basically yeah
Hera bow can take quick reload
Or achilles spear if doing casts that lodge
dusty vault
Talos aspect yeah
spiral stirrup
I didnt know hera was an available boon
ppl say its bad but i find it a perfect fit
YESSIR
ARES
FINALLY I CAN DO MERCIFUL ENDING
huh
no merciful end?
stoic raven
hera is not a boon
spiral stirrup
bruh
stoic raven
hera is an aspect
spiral stirrup
I got ares boon
dusty vault
Duos aren't guaranteed
dusty vault
But a chance to show after you have the pre reqs
And just to be sure
You have athena special right
spiral stirrup
Yeah
dusty vault
Yeah now is just luck
spiral stirrup
Oh god
sterile mica
Impending?
spiral stirrup
ill probably get to the end of the game without it lol
dusty vault
What biome are you in?
spiral stirrup
asphodel
stoic raven
the following items increase chances for duos and legendaries(excluding hermes and chaos):
chaos increasing rare boons
all items that buff the rarity of boons(does not include exclusive access boon or mirror)
spiral stirrup
never got past it
spiral stirrup
oh i watched boss fight
seems easier then meg tbh
anyway should i get slicing shot blade dash or blood frenzy
None of them reset any boons i need for merciful end
dusty vault
Frenzy if you want better chances for pomming ares attack
Cast if you want to find athena's dash easier
But it will mess up with hermes odds/finding impending
spiral stirrup
wdym
dusty vault
No wait hermes is fine
spiral stirrup
pomming?
dusty vault
wdym
The game wants to make sure you have the 4 boons to the left- oh that
The fruits that lvl up your boons
dusty vault
The game wants to make sure you have the 4 boons to the left- oh that
Well might as well explain this
The 4 boons to the left are called cores (excluding call) and the game wants to make sure you fill all 4
spiral stirrup
Ahhh
dusty vault
So if you have attack and special next Athena boon would have guaranteed cast or dash
spiral stirrup
so i have to make sure every single boon slot is full
dusty vault
So if you take cast then the next one would 100% have dash
spiral stirrup
before i can get a combo
dusty vault
Is not needed per say but it helps
spiral stirrup
Ahh ok
Ill get slicing shot then
frenzy only does 15 more
OOOHHHH
Athena
yesir
yesir
oh that was easy
still no impending
might as well get divine
but theres also blinding
dusty vault
Taking impending before ME can be a bit annoying so is fine
Nah take dash
You want it for an effective ME run
spiral stirrup
Wdym by ME
dusty vault
Merciful End
dusty vault
The duo boon
dusty vault
The idea is that you only take athena special to get the duo
spiral stirrup
k i took divine
dusty vault
But use dash to actually use it
spiral stirrup
dash
dusty vault
That way you can just dash strike spam and inflict doom and instantly activate it with your dash
dusty vault
Nothing?
spiral stirrup
I GOT AN ATHENA BOON BUT I CANT PAY FOR IT
dusty vault
*charon but I mean the number of the chamber
dusty vault
Yeah that's why I asked
spiral stirrup
im on ps4
spiral stirrup
wdym
dusty vault
The number of the chamber
dusty vault
Aight yeah you said it was last before the hydra
Just wanted to make sure if you had more chances at the duo
Time to play it safe ig
dusty vault
Yeah
dusty vault
Wait for any attack then dash in, hit and dash out
spiral stirrup
Ok
dusty vault
Or just dash through the attacks with iframes
spiral stirrup
I wish there was a multiplayer for hades
that would be epic
big bone snake time
wish me luck
vivid minnow
Gl
spiral stirrup
YESSIR
i gottem
furst tune beating learnie
his name sounds more cute then terrifiying
anyway what keepsake should i get
cerberus?
or skellu
skelly*
vivid minnow
They both maxed out?
spiral stirrup
No
I chose cerberus anyway
Time for elysium
pom or centaur
im kinda low
102
vivid minnow
They both give the exact same payoff anyway
vivid minnow
Good
More health you got more likely you is to escape
But always go for Daedelus hammers
spiral stirrup
Ok
dusty vault
You'll learn that in time
vivid minnow
For fists it depends if its the first or 2nd hammer tbh
Yeah I don't really use them tbh
dusty vault
Wait question, how many gods do you have a boon from?
Athena-ares (exclude hermes/chaos)
dusty vault
Which gods? i mean
vivid minnow
i do have deadulus tho
And you're including that?
spiral stirrup
athena and ares
dusty vault
Also yeah hammer doesn't matter
spiral stirrup
and aphrodite
dusty vault
Take pos then
spiral stirrup
ok
dusty vault
Once you have boons from 4 gods the rest won't show up
spiral stirrup
im prob gonna die
dusty vault
So it'll be easier to get ares-athena
vivid minnow
im prob gonna die
Don't
dusty vault
Simply keep your hp above 0 while you reduce the enemies hp to 0
spiral stirrup
at least i get to see cerberus
vivid minnow
You beat theseus and the minatour?
vivid minnow
"There is no escape"
vivid minnow
also whats diamond for
Purchasing more expensive things from the house contractor
dusty vault
45 runs here to escape
spiral stirrup
im at 52 rin
vivid minnow
how many escape attempts did you have when you finally escaped
A lot. Like 50 or something but I have a net 0 skill
vivid minnow
Ah that ain't too bad tbh
dusty vault
I've seen people with upwards of 100+ before first escape
spiral stirrup
anwaysssss
dusty vault
Also single player game so like eh
vivid minnow
and no escapes
You been playing consistently?
vivid minnow
Only 2 days?
spiral stirrup
yup
dusty vault
No joke you can try ME again
vivid minnow
Wdym
This game is all about patterns and the more you play the more you learn on how to work with them
dusty vault
ME can fit in most weapons
spiral stirrup
Well i cant rn cus i dont have any options for me
dusty vault
But if you get tired of searching for it, sword can also go artemis/aphro attack route
dusty vault
Then add the other god as special for their duo
spiral stirrup
ill try that then
dusty vault
So like arte atk aphro special or reverse
If you go arte attack can also use athena's special for that duo boon
For hammers you mainly want dou ble edge
vivid minnow
flourishh dash and aid
The aid is pretty good ngl
spiral stirrup
K
vivid minnow
But depends on the build you're going for
spiral stirrup
guys i got trial of the gods
dusty vault
Artemis call
spiral stirrup
artemis or zues
dusty vault
I find artemis trial easier than zeus
stoic raven
i never take ares/zeus/arty trials
vivid minnow
~~i never take ares/zeus/arty trials~~
||Always do Athena||
stoic raven
i already do

Which weapon is the best?
sweet brook
Which weapon is the best?
shield, bow, and rail are considered top 3 (in no particular order)
fists, spear, and sword are considred bottom 3 (also in no particular order)
they all work fine tho, it's mainly personal preference
slate estuary
shield, bow, and rail are considered top 3 (in no particular order)
fists, spear...
i see i see
i currently use the shield but i have seen videos online where they have special spear of gods or sum
outer flint
shield, bow, and rail are considered top 3 (in no particular order)
fists, spear...
Those are the top 3 most boring weapons
tribal tangle
Those are the top 3 most boring weapons
i dont agree on that, i think the shield and the bow arent boring but the rail and the spear definetely are to me
dusty vault
I like being aggressive and dumb
I'll tell you a secret of hades
All weapons play better at close range
tribal tangle
but but but what about the "you deal more damage to distant foes"
it has to be good right
right?!?!
dusty vault
Lol, lmao
dire river
but but but what about the "you deal more damage to distant foes"
how exactly does that work? or rather, why doesn't it?
dusty vault
how exactly does that work? or rather, why doesn't it?
The issue with distant memory/sniper shot is that the distance for it to work is way too far to be effectice
Also sniper blocks twin shot
outer flint
All weapons play better at close range
I have the problem when I use the bow
dusty vault
For bow get used to dash striking
Keeps you mobile and charges faster
Oh hera, idk what u use but remapping cast is the usual
outer flint
Idk what my controls are honestly
sterile mica
i'm using kbm, hera feels a bit frustrating
it feels bad when you miss your casts
maybe it's flurry shot, i guess i could go twin
viscid notch
maybe it's flurry shot, i guess i could go twin
Try no aim at cursor
But yea it is indeed flurry
sterile mica
fo2 is hard to hit sometimes
do you take artemis or demeter? once you have cast already
exit wounds and arty legendary are nice
viscid notch
When I was practicing Hera I used FO1 for quite some time to get used to it
sterile mica
but snow burst is good
twin lantern
Snurst is way better
sterile mica
ok i am just starting to use hera
twin lantern
Exit wounds is negligible on hera
viscid notch
If I see Artemis Id take Attack and Mark -> Pressure Points before considering the Legendary. You just cant rely on it
sterile mica
Exit wounds is negligible on hera
it's pretty pretty good with the hermes thing
greater recall?
twin lantern
Pp opens leg so it's fine
viscid notch
You need another boon with pp
viscid notch
greater recall?
Greater Recall is ok but you dont want to aim for it. You're probably thinking of Quick Reload
twin lantern
Isn't fully loaded one of pp exit or support fire?
dusty vault
Two of
twin lantern
💀
viscid notch
Yea two of
dusty vault
Trait shared by dem and pos' huge catch
sterile mica
what about the hermes legendary
twin lantern
It's ok
viscid notch
Greater Recall is Hermes Legendary
twin lantern
Good for safety
sterile mica
like sometimes i try but i never get offered
dusty vault
1% moment
sterile mica
are you serious?
sterile mica
ok so that's around 8-9% overall i guess
viscid notch
It also has a prerequisite
sterile mica
ofc
tribal tangle
epic more dashes
sterile mica
wait no i mean do you know the legendary chances
it probably doesn't even matter actually
twin lantern
The real reason youd take arte is if you have pos to open mirage shot
twin lantern
It's 30% multiplicative damage
dusty vault
Mirage on hera is just if it shows up
You also need to get lucky vs sweet nectar and heart rend
dusty vault
Arte attack + mark can so a lot for casts so 
Can also put some extra dmg between dislodge time
dusty vault
Specially with triple 2nd hammer
sterile mica
then priority is demeter, artemis and then poseidon?
twin lantern
Can also go zeus and smair
sterile mica
oh yeah i like zeus
dusty vault
then priority is demeter, artemis and then poseidon?
That works yeah
Realistically you won't get arte/pos all the time anyways
sterile mica
i mean in terms of if you had to choose between them, hypothetically
sweet nectar is really not useful if you get it too late though
so idk about pos
twin lantern
I think splash dash is fine for hera?
dusty vault
Not a fan
dusty vault
Crush shot still has some AoE and tidal can mess up groupes enemies
I just leave dash empty
twin lantern
Fair enough
sweet brook
Those are the top 3 most boring weapons
Well that's certainly personal preference lmao
Also like it's a rough estimate considering aspects exist
Like Achilles is better than Chiron
outer flint
Tf is an aspect
stoic raven
beat the first boss
dusty vault
A secret tool that might help you later
sweet brook
And chaos shield is only good because it's a shield not because the gimick is good
stoic raven
then it should explain fairly quickly
outer flint
beat the first boss
Where bro
sweet brook
Have you unlocked every weapon yet
dusty vault
Wait you have all weapons already right
sweet brook
I'm assuming you did since you called rail boring lmao
outer flint
No.?
dusty vault
Huh
outer flint
I saw someone using rail
sweet brook
Oh well that feels like an unfair judgement lmao
stoic raven
outer flint
It looked boring asf
stoic raven
rail does good damage
outer flint
But
stoic raven
and is not boring
dusty vault
Now the question is
Who did you see jsing the rail
Cuz I can see that go wrong quickly
stoic raven
it adds a new level of complexity to the already great gameplay, making it even more engaging and entertaining(it just adds one btton)
tribal tangle
i agreed with you at first @outer flint but then i wanted to have aspects so i sucked it up, unlocked the rail and got aspects
stoic raven
it adds a new level of complexity to the already great gameplay, making it even ...
plus, it works with the boon of all time, support fire
final dune
Support Fire isn't so great? Are you kidding me? When was the last time you saw a boon with such an ability and damage with artemis? Support Fire puts the game in another level, and we will be blessed if we ever see a boon with its power and enhancement of the game again. Merciful End breaks records. Mirage Shot breaks records. Suppot Fire breaks the rules. You can keep your statistics. I prefer the magic.
but if u saw someone rocking the heartbreak strike rail it will definitely look boring
edgy zinc

i already beat him in our contest
ember wraith
when can i give gifts to ||thanatos||? he's not appearing in the lounge <:pepesa...
you have to give him it before you talk to him iirc. So you need to find nectar during the run then hand it to him there, like with giving gods gifts
edgy zinc
Didn't see the option 
I'll just find him again then
ember wraith
yeah try to make sure you have nectar on you in the middle of the run
its after you do the kill competition you can gift it to him
I did it once and got something I forget what
restive portal
If you get anything it's a heart.
It's always a heart.
(or nothing if you lose)

Alot of resources

stoic socket
Quick question: say I like one of the boons a god is offering me but want it at a higher rank. If I reroll, do I have a chance to get one of the same three boons again? Or does it always select a different set of boons
stoic socket
Can you get it at a different rarity
upbeat spoke
also yes
stoic socket
Noice thanks
viscid notch
you can get all three boons to be exact same
I dont think this is possible
One boon has to be different
hollow hull
I’m pretty sure I’ve had it happen
restive portal
You can get same rarity, but not the same boons.
Oh wait, you meant on a re-roll. Yeah, I've definitely had 2 the same, and since you can run some of the gods out of boon choices, I figure it would have to let you get 3 the same if there was no other choice.
dusty vault
normally the game does block one of the options in the first screen for the reroll
sweet brook
Rolling for rarity kinda sus tho
somber frigate

While possible, it’s certainly not the right decision in most cases
You’ll often end up throwing your reroll away to just not get the boon.

Or you can try the lowest resolution on the display setting first
but the game will be dirty

ehh how?

if you're playing on steam you can enable FPS counter in steam settings, no need to download anything
late holly
guys is 45 fps is playable on hades
tribal tangle
okay, do you happen to know the specs of your laptop ?
tribal tangle
yeah thats a low end pc that was considered low end 5 years ago if not more... your cpu is somewhat fine, its just that these graphics units are pretty bad
if you lower the settings you might be able to squeeze around 60-80 total fps but i wouldnt hope for more
faint umbra
there are a few launch options that optimize performance
but you said you arent on steam, are you on epic?

i would guess so, i dont think epic offers vulkan launches unless its a setting hidden somewhere

@tribal tangle

right click the game in your library, click "properties" and then enter the launch options into the bar
late holly
next?
faint umbra
i figured 😅
late holly
lol
tribal tangle
well can you use vulkan on cracked games?
late holly
how?
tribal tangle
you could also use geforce ghost's pcs 🤷
faint umbra
you should buy the game, its good
tribal tangle
also ^
late holly
eeh??
late holly
you could also use geforce ghost's pcs 🤷
what?
late holly
you should buy the game, its good
no money ,a nd my pc can't run it
tribal tangle
geforce's ghosts pcs are a thing they offer for people that dont have a good pc
i forgot whats their website but im pretty sure its cheap
although playing multiplayer games on that is not ideal, a lot of latency
now that i think of that, it might not be good for hades either because of this same latency
tribal tangle
i mean im trying my best out here, its not my fault your laptop is quite terrible

hey guys, i got to the point in the game where the credits roll (won't spoil further for other newer players), does that mean the story is largely finished or is there much more story coming?
dusty vault
There's still an epilogue (don't expect anything huge but is still a neat wrap up)
And any character story they have is also left
lethal abyss
you mean the wrap up straight after the credits?
lethal abyss
Ah then i wont read the spoiler!

It will all become clear soon enough so don't worry.

You know it’s funny because, I had over 50 escape attempts to beat the game ONCE… 53rd attempt which is absolutely crazy to think about. I actually did it, and I’m so proud of it. Best build, best combo, best synergies, best run. Can anybody explain that? Like how…?
dire river
are you confused about how you beat it or about taking 50 tries? if it's the first, luck and practice. if it's the second: the game is hard. especially if you're not used to these kinds of games. also sometimes you're just unlucky. repeatedly
short valley

Yea, 50 attempts might seem a lot to me, but that’s the “learning curve”. And also, the boons and synergies I had was completely based on luck, so I wouldn’t be TOO surprised… but, it’s mostly the first and the second. (answering your question) Usually Most Rogue-Like OR Lites fall somewhere in the luck/skill scale, mostly skill or luck depending on the circumstances.
For instance, on Risk Of Rain 2 for me, mostly needs skill, especially with other classes/survivors. Hades (from my personal experience) is a combo of luck and skill, especially with synergies, boons, enhancements and chamber rewards, etc. But it mostly comes down to skill, with weapons, tech, and strategies. (and of course, META) However, when we talk about ETG, that’s a whole another story, lol. And I loved to talk about that, if I had enough free time, that is.

DO NOT USE ARES ON ATTACK
use zeus
and if you get splitting bolt, you win
storm void
which zeus boon?
storm void
ahh okay
stoic raven
for rail(non hestia), you want:
zeus on attack
static discharge(pommed)
tidal dash(pommed)
splitting bolt
storm void
i think for tantalus i clear easy so ill equip zeus artifact for good chance of getting him. then when i get to the second area ill equip the collar

ill keep this in mind thank you
stoic raven
if you want to really win, you can also use harpy feather duster(not recommended, but it does something)
storm void
oh should i go zeus -> collar -> collar -> tooth for the areas?
ive got collar maxed and the 50 hp helps a lot
storm void
||i only die to hades at the end in his second phase with that one attack where he targets you with a beam but thats more a me issue than anything ||

last run i didn't die once up until hades

and if youre not dying, dont use collar

any good tips for starting out
dashing gives invulnerability
dash striking removes said invulnerability
the mirror has 2 sides(click on talent to switch)
dusty vault
(last one is not unlocked until a certain amount of meta resource)
restive portal
You have no idea how long it took me to discover the reverse side of the mirror... I'm still salty about that.
My advice is also to always talk to anyone who's got something to say in the house between runs.
stoic raven
it took me until the end of the mirror

Do boons that affect Attack also apply to Dash-Strike?
For example, if I get %dam increase on Attack, does that also affect my Dash-Strike %dam?

pretty sure arty also offer % dash strike damage and aphro if im not mistaken

Yes
Any attack % goes to dash strike but dash strike % doesn't buff normal atk
Some hammers like shadow slash/cursed slash won't work on dash strikes

For some reason, Dusa doesn't have that chibi icon she has on her artifact even though I've maxed her heart, am I missing something? Additionally, Thanatos hasn't been spawning in the lobby for a while now. I've done 5 runs and he hasn't appeared, and I'm pretty sure you're only able to give him ambrosia in the lobby. This is frustrating because I've been trying to get Aphrodite's last heart.
restive portal
There's a final interaction with Dusa you need to have, which might rely on the state of renovation of the lounge. As for Than, that's just random.
golden roost
By state of renovation, I just need to add more items in the lounge right?
restive portal
I'm not 100% on the details, but there's at least one trigger in Dusa's quest related to the state of the lounge. Has she ||left the house and returned yet||?
digital harness
hadeschads whats the best weapon aspect with only 1-3 titan bloods invested in it?
ive been skill issuing at the final boss for 40 attempts now
preferably melee button masher style
raw coral
The shield is prolly your best bet
raw coral
Zeus or zag if you don't have the hidden one
Fists are good too, but you get hit more with them
gotta be really deliberate with your dashing imo
dusty vault
Fists aspects are kinda all just eh
Dem is the best one but at low lvl might as well run any of them except talos
digital harness
i only have hidden aspect for spear
havent bought it yet
how do i unlock the other aspects
do aspect upgraddes cost more titan blood the further its upgraded?
dusty vault
Yeah
Tho it depends
Zag aspects are all 1 blood per level
Hidden is 3 per level
First aspects are 1/2/3/4/5 iirc
And idk the second
Is prob in the wiki
digital harness
i dont wna get spoilered if i open the wiki
dusty vault
how do i unlock the other aspects
For other hiddens check #h1-story-discussion pins
raw coral
Honestly, base fists are pretty good if you play all-aggro
digital harness
is it worth upgrading zagreus fist for dodge
i also have lvl 1 demeter fist
is talos fist good out of the box
raw coral
Lemme look up what 3 blood will get ya
dusty vault
Never good
raw coral
So 3 blood will get you 8% dodge on Zag, or 1 extra hit on Demeter
digital harness
oh
raw coral
this is demeter's blood reqs 2 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5
digital harness
is demeter upper aoe?
digital harness
maybe i spend on zag fist
i have chaos and zeus shield too
i got close to killing finall boss with doom + weaken duo zeus shield
dusty vault
Zeus is pretty good no matter the lvl
digital harness
also whats good bow for stage 3 boss? i have weakest performance with bow so far
raw coral
You can also try to go for a build that minimizes damage the most, like aphro on attack, athena on dash, and Hermes's Greater evasion, among others
dusty vault
also whats good bow for stage 3 boss? i have weakest performance with bow so far
Zag bow is cheap and easy to use, hera has great dmg
Chiron is chiron for better or worse
(mostly worse)
For bow are you dash striking?
It charges faster for a bit less base dmg
digital harness
not rly i have chiron lvl 1 but i try spam special for meh dmg
dusty vault
So practice dash strike power shots and it feels way better as a weapon
dusty vault
not rly i have chiron lvl 1 but i try spam special for meh dmg

how to use chiron

You want chiron at full lvl to be usable
