inland scarab

sterile solar

#

the one thats 3 keys

sterile solar
#

yes there are different shields

#

oh the default i guess

kindred shale
#

yea

sterile solar
#

cant go wrong with artemis

#

many things work, explore and try things

kindred shale
sterile solar
kindred shale
sterile solar
#

yes of course

#

anything can work

lethal zealot
#

Is there an option to remove the pack of punishment

grave prawn
sterile solar
#

Yeah disable whatever you enabled

lethal zealot
#

There's romance in the game right

sterile solar
#

Yes

lethal zealot
sterile solar
#

Progress the storylines of certain people

#

This isn't a dating sim in any way btw, the option to romance is just there

lethal zealot
sterile solar
#

Cool

#

Gifting him and keep progressing the game

outer flint
#

If you really want a character to let you give them ambrosia, you can check the wiki to see the requirement.

lethal zealot
#

What do bounties do

outer flint
#

How far have you gotten?

lethal zealot
#

I saw that there's a prophecy saying that I needed to beat it with certain bounty conditions and I don't get it

midnight apex
#

Oh heat bounties let you get ||Titans blood, diamonds and ambrosia||

outer flint
#

By bounty conditions do you mean the ||heat modifiers||? Cuz bounties are just the rewards from beating the bosses

midnight apex
#

You would’ve unlocked ||the pact of punishment, so they’re trying to get you to either do all the heat modifiers or beat the game with enough heat on a weapon||

somber frigate
midnight apex
#

I think so too

midnight apex
#

||heat|| should be censored

midnight apex
#

Btw you can read anything I’m censoring when talking to you

#

Cuz I know what you have and haven’t done

lethal zealot
outer flint
#

Like blood, diamonds, and ambrosia

#

Each new level of ||heat|| you beat resets the bounties so you can get them again on a higher ||heat|| level

midnight apex
#

Does ||blood, diamonds and ambrosia|| need to be censored

lethal zealot
#

And if I just beat the game regularly?
Would I get the rewards again?

midnight apex
#

Ok yay

midnight apex
#

and a lot of it

outer flint
somber frigate
#

You can only access more bounties on the same weapon by completing a ||heat level|| you haven’t already got the rewards for

lethal zealot
#

What's the maximum ||heat||

outer flint
#

But each time you beat a boss with a weapon you get the bounty, and to get it again from the same boss with the same weapon you have to use a higher ||heat|| level

somber frigate
outer flint
lethal zealot
somber frigate
#

You won’t get any extra bounties after 20

somber frigate
outer flint
#

The most the game kinda intends for is like 32

midnight apex
#

Same

outer flint
#

Cuz that's where skelly's statues end

lethal zealot
somber frigate
#

I mean

#

ever

lethal zealot
#

How

novel swift
#

(3 times)

outer flint
#

It's a lot of rng

somber frigate
#

Is it 3 times now?

#

I checked the leaderboard like 3 days ago

novel swift
#

Bai, angel and playad

somber frigate
#

I know there are more completions with the speedrun modpack thou

midnight apex
#

It’s three times now?

#

Gosh it changes every time I check

#

Which is like twice

lethal zealot
#

I didn't think there was ||64 heat||

outer flint
#

Most people who start playing through the ||heat|| levels stop somewhere around 32

somber frigate
#

Another is locked until you have all the mirror options unlocked

lethal zealot
#

So how do you actually finish the game

midnight apex
#

Um

#

Define finish

lethal zealot
somber frigate
#

You need 10 escapes to reach the credits but there is an epilogue

lethal zealot
#

There isn't infinite dialogue

somber frigate
#

and even after the epilogue you’re only a fraction of the way through the 21020 voice lines

midnight apex
#

But there’s a lot

somber frigate
somber frigate
midnight apex
#

Either:
Finish all the prophecies
Beat 64 ||heat||
Get everyone to like you
Reach the credits
Do the epilogue
Get a good speedrun time
All ||heat|| bounties

lethal zealot
#

I gave Nyx all of the nectar I could but after that the option kind of just stopped

#

She's one of my favorite characters

midnight apex
#

Just wait I think

#

You need to finish more runs

somber frigate
midnight apex
#

And her story might be linked with others

somber frigate
midnight apex
somber frigate
#

You can find each one on the Hades wiki page for them

midnight apex
#

Hey just a question, when does one stop being a new player here?

somber frigate
#

It’s not something the game tells you but most of them involve dialogue with that character and or/ related characters to finish a part of the story

somber frigate
midnight apex
#

Makes sense

somber frigate
#

This chat is meant to block players who haven’t finished the story from spoilers

midnight apex
#

I was just wondering if we counted the epilogue as spoilers

#

To those who already got the credits

somber frigate
#

Might as wellP

midnight apex
#

Anywho y’all I gtg

lethal zealot
#

How many times am I supposed to play the game

midnight apex
#

Infinite

sterile solar
#

As many times as you enjoy it

#

Its a roguelike

lethal zealot
sterile solar
#

And?

#

The game is not just voicelines lol

midnight apex
#

Gameplayyyy

#

In my experience, people tend to branch out in three paths

somber frigate
#

but there’s more than just voicelines to Hades

#

A lot of the replayability of roguelites comes from enjoying the gameplay tizomg

lethal zealot
midnight apex
#

Yes

#

The Epilogue doesn’t make you stop being able to play the game

#

It’s just the ending of the Hades 1 story

sterile solar
somber frigate
sterile solar
#

There's still a lot of story after the epilogue

lethal zealot
sterile solar
lethal zealot
sterile solar
#

I really dislike when people call the epilogue the end of the story, it really isnt

somber frigate
#

It just wraps up the main family story you’ve gone through but there’s still so much with every npc

lethal zealot
sterile solar
#

That'd be so silly lol, nah you can keep playing your save file

#

You're new to roguelikes uh?

kindred shale
#

@midnight apex , i started trying diff weapons and with the bow i couldnt even beat hydra, with shield i had minotaur left at like 1/3 hp and theseus 3/4

midnight apex
#

Yeah that’s normal

#

Bow is the hardest for beginners

#

Plus there are some weapons that certain people suck at

#

Like o only beat the game with the shield on my 185ish run

#

Have you unlocked the last two?

kindred shale
#

i know theres supposed to be a gun and fists

midnight apex
#

Lemme guess, the skelly room has two empty spaces?

kindred shale
#

yeah

midnight apex
#

And you’ve done a run with all of them right?

#

Apart from the fist and gun

kindred shale
#

well i didnt beat meg with the default sword

#

if that matters

#

but i did use it ofc

midnight apex
#

I think it might

#

I know you need to use all the weapons available to you

#

But I don’t know if you need to beat Meg, but I think you might

#

Try that when ur free

kindred shale
#

Okay i'll try

#

so far though i only like the spear

midnight apex
#

Hey the spears fun

#

It’s my secondary

somber frigate
#

Like out of the ordinary

#

I know this because I’ve had all weapons and used all weapons by run 6 on a fresh save file

midnight apex
#

They just need to do a run to refresh the house or smt

#

Happened to my friend

#

If they don’t see it next time they reach the house then somethings up

kindred shale
#

i'll see when i can play

midnight apex
#

Ok

kindred shale
#

@midnight apex its here but only the fists now

#

still another empty slot

midnight apex
#

Yeah unlock that first

#

Ur on the right track

kindred shale
#

zeus?

midnight apex
#

Like boons?

#

Oh I main fists so I got no shortage of builds

#

Anywho: there are THREE main ways to play the fists, all of which depend on what you like

#

One:

#

ZAP

#

Zeus Aphrodite/Artemis and Poseidon

#

Zeus attack

#

Aphrodite/Artemis on special (Aphrodite let’s you go for the smoldering air duo so it’s recommended)
And Poseidon dash for damage

#

For newbies you can swap the dash to Athena if you prefer

#

TWO

#

merciful end

#

It’s the duo boon between Athena and Ares that makes it so doom effects do more damage and proc INSTANTLY

#

Get ares attack

#

Rush Athena special

#

Look to get the duo boon at EVERY chance

#

If ur not offered the duo, get Athena dash

#

Repeat till you get it

#

Hardest to get but does the most damage with great safety

#

3:

#

Dionysus attack

#

Aphrodite special

#

Ares revenge boon

#

Grab ANY duo boon you see that involves some variation of these three

#

Make your hangover stacks hit hard and Pom the attack

#

OVERVIEW:
ZAP is the most consistent
MERCIFUL END is the riskiest with highest reward
Dionysus is derp

midnight apex
kindred shale
#

thanks

#

i'll try the first one first

#

after credits have rolled, is it impossible to go back to persephone's house?

How do i do favors? I was very hyperfocused on hypnos and Gor nectar after nectar, now his heart is locked, i checked google and i need to fulfill a ā€žfavorā€œ But he didnt tell me anything Or smthg. How do i Fulfill/activate that thing

somber frigate
#

You should just check the Hades wiki for any given npc

#

They typically just involve long dialogue trees but there are some for a few other things

rocky crescent
#

ohh okay! tysm :3

past socket
#

is Varatha the Spear good? i kinda liked it.

midnight apex
#

There’s no bad weapons in hades

#

The games really well balanced

daring otter
#

Hey! How do you get the diamonds

grave prawn
#

kill the bone hydra with different weapons

#

you'll unlock the best way to get more after winning a run

daring otter
#

What’s the bone hydra

#

I’ve just killed the first boss

grave prawn
#

the second boss

#

you'll see šŸ˜‰

daring otter
#

Ok cool

#

If I buy weapons are they permanent

#

And which weapon would you recommend buying

#

And can I not start from level 2?

#

Or do I have to do level 1 and 2 back to back

grave prawn
#

weapons are permanent, unlock all of them because something important happens when you do, you always start from level 1

daring otter
#

What do I do with the blood thing from the first boss

grave prawn
daring otter
#

Second boss done šŸ’Ŗ

keen valley
# daring otter And which weapon would you recommend buying

Depends on if you like a more distanced or up close fighting style. I personally really liked the shield when I was beginning because you can block hits and I found it helpful. It kinda gives you a minute to learn the bad guys move sets for later

daring otter
#

This game is so good

daring otter
#

What do you do to upgrade a weapon

grave prawn
daring otter
#

Gow do you unlock all weapons

#

I think I’ve got 2 left to unlock

grave prawn
#

you need cthonic keys, they randomly appear as door rewards

daring otter
#

What do you do on the fourth floor?

#

do you need to do all 5 of the gates?

sweet brook
#

You only do it until you find the fountain basically

#

The satyr sack is also there, which you need

daring otter
#

Ok thanks

#

What do I do with ambrosia

#

And should I get the fishing rod?

#

Also how do I get more diamonds

#

There’s only 6 weapons so I can only get 6 diamonds right? But loads of work orders require quite a few diamonds

outer flint
#

And after you clear a run you unlock more ways to farm them

daring otter
#

Ok cool!

outer flint
daring otter
#

Thanks mate

#

Hello so I literally just started the game and I think I missed the introduction I just spawned into the first area or something and I’m very confused on the point of everything

Nevermind watching ign beginners guide

The pact of punishment thing?

midnight apex

# daring otter The pact of punishment thing?

Yes (spoilering for now)

||Each new Heat bounty you do will reset the rewards you get from bosses. Furies and Hades will drop Blood, Hydra will drop diamonds, and the Heroes will drop Ambrosia. This is on a per-weapon basis, so doing 1 heat with the Sword will not affect the Bow or Shield's rewards. A lot of pacts can be pretty easy, like Tight Deadline. You can start simmering up in the heat pretty easily. Making the shop charge a bit more probably won't change your run much at all, for example. And Extreme Measures 2 can genuinely be an easier Hydra fight than normal.||

||Approval Process 2 honestly the freest heat ever (misinformation)||

sterile solar
#

Nah, preach it king

rancid trench
#

Bro how do I get better weapons

#

When do I get better weapons

#

My weapons are horse manure

grave prawn
#

what are you having trouble with

rancid trench
#

I prefer the spear but even that does 30

#

So garbage

#

Is there a preferred boone build for spear?

# rancid trench Bro how do I get better weapons

So, hades is a rogue like, generally the idea here is that your strength changes from the start of a run to the end of it, rather than well, between runs.
As for weapons tho- certain boons can make your attacks a lot stronger, others may have special effects, etc.

#

Also there are mirror upgrade that might help

#

Erm, the devs called it a roguelike so take it up to them 😌

somber frigate
#

That’s like saying ā€œyeah chess is an fps gameā€

frail parcel
#

I mean, "Roguelike" and "Roguelite" are so vague it doesn't really matter.

#

You can argue any roguelike with meta progression at all is a roguelite. Binding of Isaac is a roguelite. It's very silly.

#

(And regardless the distinction is essentially worthless for anyone new to the game/genre, and the trailers all say "Roguelike", so....).

sterile solar
#

This isn't what I say or think, this is the game the devs made

outer flint
frail parcel
#

It's silly because no game actually has all the features that made Rogue, Rogue.

#

The stricter the definition of "Roguelike" we use just becomes more and more apparent the only game like Rogue is Rogue.

#

The Berlin Interpretation (basically the only "official" definition of the term Roguelike) requires a game to have:
Random map generation, Permadeath, Turn-based combat, Grid-based movement, "complexity to allow multile solutions", "non-modal, so that all actions can be performed at any time", resource management, and hack and slash combat. There is no Roguelike in existence that actually meets all of these criteria.

#

(Again, except Rogue. But having a genre that is just Rogue is very silly).

sterile solar
#

Personally I find it silly, if you're bothered that one game gives you +5 hp after a run. Either way, lite and likes are made up subgenres, so calling hades a roguelike isn't wrong either

frail parcel
#

Genres are fake, anyhow, lol. If it looks like a roguelike and quacks like a roguelike....

sterile solar
#

God dammit bot

frail parcel
#

If your definiton of Roguelike doesn't include the Binding of Isaac, one of the seminal modern roguelikes which started the modern Roguelike craze then I don't really think it's a tenable definition of the term.

sterile solar
#

I can say i do not care what the Berlin interpretation says. In rogue you go into a dungeon, gear up, die, do it again. Hades follows a similar formula, so hades is in fact a game like rogue. If you're getting bothered by some meta progression that's on you, I'm not gonna use a different word to please you

#

Especially when the devs themselves called it a roguelike, "wrong" or not

frail parcel
#

"God-like Roguelite" just wouldn't have had the same ring to it would it.....

#

Anyway this is like classifying all JRPGs as not real JRPGs because they don't have Final Fantasy 1 on the NES' restriction of only being able to save by spending money or using a cabin. At a point it's just needlessly silly gatekeeping.

sterile solar
#

Great vid btw

tender bay
#

I kept giving chaos a lot of nectar, but now theres a yellow border heart with a keyhole

#

and i cant give anymore

#

What do I do after?

sterile solar
#

Each character has a favor, for info of each character you can head to their wiki page, for chaos you have to ||reunite chaos with nyx||

carmine cypress
#

which gods give the best boon?(i know daedelus is much better but if the pick gods room shows up i wanna know who to pick)

grave prawn
#

regarding basic boons, faster weapons like more flat damage (zeus, dionysus) while slower heavier weapons like % boost damage (aphrodite, athena...)

rancid trench
#

Extending jab or triple jab for spear

somber frigate
#

I’d take triple there

Hey guys, I played through this game last year until I got to the dev-wall. That was pretty unsatisfying, so I want to wait to play more until that is gone. Is it now? Is the rest of the story unlocked yet?

outer flint
#

Are you talking about Hades 2?

grizzled pulsar
#

oh, sorry! I meant Hades II lol

outer flint
#

Someone will know

Can someone help me .
Can you view all the boons mid run?

yes

Hallo

#

I was wondering if there's an easy way to beat the murder gal

winter crescent
#

Learn her attack patterns, she has very few actual attacks

#

Another option is to yolo it and just try to out damage her

sharp hazel
#

Oke šŸ™‚

#

Btw how does hermes's feather work

dusty vault
#

Clear the room before it's done and you gain dodge/movement speed

sharp hazel
#

Is there a limit to it?

dusty vault
#

The timer is dependent on the room/the buffs disappear if the keepsake is removed

dusty vault
sharp hazel
#

I see

#

You have to reach the final boss eventually dusa

#

Idk I'm kinda stuck battling the hydra

#

My death defiance are all gone when I reach em :/

#

The hydra can be annoying yeah, i remember being stuck there for a bit

sharp hazel

The sword is kinda carryinge there ngl

winter crescent

Maybe maybe

sharp hazel
#

Onto hydra now :/

#

YASS I DID IT

#

Yoo I've beat the bull of minos

There are a few mini bosses but ya then Theseus the king and Asterius the bull

novel swift
#

Ship?

sharp hazel
#

Ship of theseus

#

I got there on ma first try : )

novel swift
#

Isn’t that a hades 2 thing?

sharp hazel
#

No I just called him a ship

#

Cuz when I saw him I remembered the ship

novel swift
#

Lmao

sharp hazel
#

Okay so quick question

#

Zeus or posideon

plain kraken
#

Depends on the rest of your bills
Been a while since I fought them, but don't attack Theseus head on he'll block all that. Dash behind and hit him. Hit asterius when he's not spinning, try to make him run into walls then hit him. Try to focus one of them down. Some people find one easier than the other.

sharp hazel
#

Okay ig

tacit palm
plain kraken
#

Oh maybe
Still go in after he does any swing or attack

sharp hazel
#

What if I spam second form bow

somber frigate
#

You can build towards it but it’s pretty much always worse than just focusing on your strike

sharp hazel
#

I see

#

I was thinking either that or the sword

somber frigate
#

I’d recommend if you’re using bow to make sure you’re dash-striking instead of standing striking

sharp hazel
#

Oke

somber frigate
#

It makes bow way better

Both are really good

#

Both deal good damage, and have extraordinarily powerful attacks when built correctly

#

Some say bows better

noble scroll

#

Yes

#

And Hammers

noble scroll
#

hmm, im usimmg exagryph with ares and artemis blessings is it good enough for the final boss ?

midnight apex
#

Blunt or sugar coated

#

What answer do you want

noble scroll
#

blunt ?

midnight apex
#

Unless u are REALLY good at the game and you know what ur doing

#

Ares on attack is horrendous with the rail

#

Well

#

Ok

#

Not horrendous

#

Just bad

#

You need the Dire Misfortune book

#

This boon plus the Impending Doom boon makes the ā€œDoom stackerā€

#

Artemis special is goated tho

noble scroll
#

idk im just vibin with them blade vortex :^)

midnight apex
#

Oh u use cast?

#

Um

#

Then go ahead

#

You got the duo boon?

#

Hunting blades?

noble scroll
#

got the one with the throw and the dash

midnight apex
#

If ur only using the cast the builds not horrible

noble scroll
#

plus i can cst "condanna" (don't know how to translate but it gives more dmg on hit)

midnight apex
midnight apex
midnight apex
noble scroll
#

the duo blade and the hunitng one

midnight apex
#

They are the same

#

The hunting blades IS the duo

#

It just makes your cast home

#

And is one of the best builds in the game IF u get it going

steady lark
midnight apex
#

They dunno to take dire misfortune

steady lark
#

U don't have to

midnight apex
#

Or impending doom

Impending makes it worse

Wait do you have ares on attack or cast

#

Or both

So like when I said doom I meant ares attack

#

Sooo

I figured there would be something with the gods since theres a prophecy about it

midnight apex
#

Yup

dawn matrix
#

Thats what ive benn doing giving them nectar everytime lol

midnight apex
#

You need to max ambrosia too I think

dawn matrix
#

Bte when you max relationship with somone with who you have a keepsake dose that keepsake become stronger

midnight apex
#

No

#

To upgrade the keepsakes you need to use them a bunch

dawn matrix
#

I already did that

#

And for hypnos gold its only 150

midnight apex
#

Yeah there’s no further upgrade

dawn matrix
#

While a streamer had 250

midnight apex
#

Huh?

dawn matrix
#

Idk and i figured it was the relationship thing

midnight apex
#

No that’s either modded or they had chaos boons/that one Poseidon boon

#

I think

#

To my knowledge maxing relations has no gameplay changes

winter crescent
#

It doesnt, idk how theyve had 250.

dawn matrix
#

Oh okay

#

I guess it was a mod or something

tacit palm

#

hey so i might have a stupid question, how do i use the demeter 12 hit special on the fists? whenever the prompt shows up saying the special is ready, i press triangle and i just do a normal uppercut

somber frigate
#

The extra hits come out really quick at the end

#

easiest way to tell is the amount of damage it hits with instead

#

Since you go for 60 base damage to 210 base damage for a regular special

#

or 40 -> 240 for a dash-upper

willow kayak
#

i can tell you i wasnt doing 210

#

it was like 90-100

somber frigate
#

How many

#

What level is your demeter

willow kayak
#

just unlocked it

somber frigate
#

Oh

#

It’s probably just +1 if you’ve got it at level 1

#

rather than 5 at level 5

#

Which isn’t really a big change at all

#

The animation should barely change

willow kayak
#

oohh i see, thx

somber frigate

sharp hazel
#

What is dionysius effect again?

tacit palm
sharp hazel
#

Oh so it works like that

tacit palm
sharp hazel
#

Ngl I'm either going to build for either dio or posideon to beat the ship theseus

sharp hazel
#

I'm vibing with the sword ngl

tacit palm
#

i only know the ares athena build with the sword

#

cant say if pose diony are good with sword

sharp hazel
#

I'd imagine posideon is good with knock back stuff

somber frigate
#

For anyone asking in this channel?

#

It doesn’t matter

somber frigate
sharp hazel
#

I'm getting desperate to beat theseus ngl...

sharp hazel
#

I reached temple of styx YIPEEE!!!

#

WAIT NO NOT CERBIE

#

Why is a giant rat stronger than half of tartarus

fathom fog
outer flint
#

He also has steroids

somber frigate
#

ez way to add a full extra minute or more to your run purely due to bad rng šŸ—æ

leaden whale
#

Wait till you get to the small vermin boss

somber frigate
#

Ohhhh

#

I confused Tiny and Large for a minute

leaden whale
#

Whoever programmed it, good job you made me even more angry

fathom fog
#

man how tf are you supposed to use the fists

#

these things are ass

sharp hazel
#

Yoo I found a duo boon

#

Ngl temple of styx might be the second worse thing I've seen

sharp hazel
#

Quesrion

#

Is there a gods gauge build?

dusty vault
sharp hazel
#

So no greater call?

dusty vault
#

Is generally not worth on most calls

#

Outside of Aphrodite/artemis calls

#

The rest all benefit from being spammed as lesser calls

dusty vault
#

So like fists + zeus attack + support fire

sharp hazel
#

Oke

#

Ngl I'm just aiming to survive

viscid notch
#

arent we all

dusty vault
#

Also another benefit of lesser calls is that they give you iframes on activation

sharp hazel
#

Cool ig

#

I hate how hermes doesn't have a Summoning item

dusty vault
#

He's built different

#

You only see him twice a run usually so no point to have a summon keepsake

sharp hazel
#

Ngl you can build around him alot

dusty vault
#

Oh yeah his boons can be run changing

#

Is just he's actually coded to only get you 2 books of him

#

And a 50% for a 3rd in the last zone

sharp hazel
#

Ngl I have an ambrosia

#

Thoughts?

#

I forged a bond with charon : )

fathom fog
#

how do you even dodge the final big bad's gigantic spear sweep

#

with only two dashes

midnight apex
#

OR dash opposite from the direction REDACTED’s moving

#

Should let you dodge the first two and be out of the way of the third

fathom fog
#

what do you mean wait

#

it's one large spin attack

#

the moment I see it telegraphed I dash away and still get hit

dusty vault
midnight apex
#

Opposite from where he’s moving

dusty vault
#

Also do you know how dash iframes work

fathom fog
#

I've no idea how long they are

#

just that they only work if you dont dash strike

dusty vault
#

Is pretty much the entire dash duration

#

And yeah the dash strike thing

#

Also showcases call iframe mechanics and how good the acorn keepsake is

fathom fog
#

do you ever get to find out who the old narrator is

dusty vault
#

The game won't tell you but you can make educated guesses

#

(hades 2) ||melinoe will just call him by his name tho||

sharp hazel
#

Any tips for the theseus fight

dusty vault
sharp hazel
#

Nvm i got em

#

Ngl I hate the temple of styx

#

Btw what do I have to find for cerberous

fathom fog
#

you'll see

sharp hazel
#

I saw

#

So I can beat all the rooms with no consequences right?

sharp hazel
#

Nvm it's gone

fathom fog
#

you can go through the rest even after finding the item

sharp hazel
#

Oh noe do I need to fight dad?

fathom fog
sharp hazel
#

Wish me luck

fathom fog
#

good luck he's a pain

#

-# I hate him

sharp hazel
#

BREH

#

I got him to a quarter of health!!

#

I'm proud of myself

dusty vault
#

So in most cases if you find the sack just go before you lose more hp

sharp hazel
#

Okay

#

Btw how do I gain more titan blood and such

dusty vault
#

How do I get more blood

  • 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 the lounge:
  • 1 ambrosia for 1 T.blood is always there.
  • 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
sharp hazel
#

I see thx

#

YOOO I found demeter

#

The game suddenly got a lot harder : (

sterile solar
dusty vault
#

Wringers and the sneak miniboss maybe

somber frigate
sterile solar
#

😭

somber frigate
#

and so does dash striking

#

The range does mean you have to be a lot more intentional with dashing

sharp hazel
#

Gm fellas

midnight apex
#

Gn fellas

fathom fog
#

good morning fellas

sharp hazel
#

Ngl I find demeter useless

#

Bruh why is demeter so ARROGANT
She disrespected posideon and artemis

midnight apex
#

Plus she has a cold personality

sharp hazel
#

Even so compared to even dionysius she's weaker in boons

#

The only good thing I found is the cast

midnight apex
#

She actually has one of the worst casts in the game when played optimally

#

The fandom literally calls it meme beam

sharp hazel
#

That's how low the bar is?

midnight apex
#

Don’t get me wrong I love the thing

midnight apex
midnight apex
#

Zeus is really good
Poseidons dash is the best in the game
Artemis is fun with grits
Dionysus has a good cast and call
Ares has 2 really good duo boon builds
Athena is great for beginners
Demeter… kinda sucks

#

Aphrodite just hits hard

sharp hazel
#

I love aphrodites call

#

But why is poseidons dash the best?

midnight apex
#

It just does a lot of damage

#

With good aoe for dashes

sharp hazel
#

Ngl I like athenas dashes

midnight apex
#

Sameeee

sharp hazel
#

Easy survivability

midnight apex
#

Hers and Poseidons are the best in the game

#

By a long shot

#

Divine Dash is my personal fav

sharp hazel
#

Ngl the ripple effect is just bleed right?

#

Bruh that cast is actually good

midnight apex
sharp hazel
#

Ngl the cast actually helped in the hydra battle

midnight apex
#

The cast is aight

#

Solid

#

But not mind blowing

#

Pretty reliable, but not worth going out of your way for

sharp hazel
#

Well what are mind-blowing casts

midnight apex
#

Depends on the weapon

sharp hazel
#

Let's say sword

midnight apex
#

Aspect of Poseidon?

#

Imo Aphrodite

#

Spear is Dionysus

#

Shield is Poseidon

#

Bow is Aphrodite

#

Fists don’t use casts well

#

And neither do rails

#

They can, but not optimally

sharp hazel
#

Understandable

#

Btw

midnight apex
#

Hm?

sharp hazel
#

Myrmidon bracer

#

It's overall solid right?

midnight apex
#

What’s that

sharp hazel
#

The achilles keepsake

midnight apex
#

Ah

#

Never really worth using

sharp hazel
#

But if we stack it up with aphrodite

midnight apex
#

Sigh

sharp hazel
#

We won't really take alot of dmg?

midnight apex
#

Tartarus:
use a god keepsake to create a foundation for your build

Asphodel:
choose a god keepsake to build on your build

Elysium:
grab coin purse to finish up your build or grab something else to make you stronger

Last one:
Acorn: helps with bosses

#

Things like the bracer just aren’t usually worth taking

sharp hazel
#

Okay...

midnight apex
#

Elysium is the only one you have some leniency on

#

But then take the acorn or smelly tooth

sharp hazel
#

Got it

midnight apex
#

Anyway I gtg

#

It’s 10pm over here

#

Imma sleep

sharp hazel
#

Gn

somber frigate
#

Doesn’t really depend on the weapon at all, aside from 2 aspects not really being able to use them

sharp hazel
#

Ngl lowkey I might beat the game in less than 50 runs

somber frigate
#

Like

#

escape?

sharp hazel
#

Ye

somber frigate
#

The game isn’t over atp tizomg

#

Far from it

sharp hazel
#

Wha~

#

Lemme see if I defeat hades first

somber frigate
#

There are 21020 voicelines in game

#

as sort of a measure of how much content you can get through storywise

sharp hazel
#

Breh

somber frigate
#

I mean realistically you aren’t seeing 100% of the voicelines

#

But beating the main story is maybe like 20% or 30% of them

#

…

#

That seems like a high estimate

somber frigate
#

As Poseidon for shield is for it’s casting aspect

sharp hazel
#

Oke

#

Breh

#

On a another side note I'm unlucky as hell rn

somber frigate
#

It happens

sharp hazel
#

Nvm i got it

#

I found an aid

#

I found a duo boon yipeee

somber frigate
# sharp hazel Okay...

Getting your build together early is so massive for damage that not taking god keepsakes for the first two zones is like massive opportunity cost, and then beyond that like utility works very well for Elysium to help boost your power a little more (purse for obols, or hourglass to get long lasting buffs from wells that’ll make it to the Hades fight)

#

and then since there really aren’t any good damage keepsakes the best keepsakes for dad are defensive and Acorn can easily save you 200+ hp

sharp hazel
#

Welp I'm off to fight hades

#

Wish me luck

somber frigate
#

Good luck

sharp hazel
#

OH LORD

#

Welp I died

#

Got him to his second phase tho

fathom fog
#

I hate the fishing

#

I haven't been able to catch ONE fish in the last 5 runs

#

dumb bobber

sharp hazel
#

Ig I've seen the fishing rod

#

How much does it cost again?

#

Is the chaos egg worth it?

somber frigate
#

You often have better things to take

#

Chaos is so good you pretty much want to take him whenever you can regardless of the hp cost anyways

fathom fog
sharp hazel
#

Aight ig

fathom fog
#

ok might someone explain how fishing works

#

I dont get it

midnight apex
#

You fish

#

And when you see the thing go under the water with a moderate splash

#

Press button

grave prawn
somber frigate
#

up to

tepid pivot
fathom fog
#

bruh

#

I'll keep that in mind

winter crescent
#

Basically it bobs bht doesnt go underwater

#

When it goes underwater thats when you pull

fathom fog
#

huh

#

it fake-bobbed three times

#

and on the fourth one it still said too late

winter crescent
#

Ah

#

If jt says too late youve just clicked it too late

fathom fog
#

...

#

I pressed E the moment it went down and splashed

somber frigate
#

You have a full 2/3’s of a second once the light flashes up

fathom fog
#

....

#

wow that's unfair

dire sky
#

could i run hades on macbook air monterey?

worldly mason
#

um so i just got hades, played for a few hours and um, uncontrollably bought hades 2 ? (im so based lmao)

#

also

#

why is hydra so annoying

#

the bone hydra thingy

sterile solar
#

idk, tell us about it

fathom fog
#

eh hydra is fine

#

the third biome boss is the one you'll be hating

sterile solar
#

do tell us about both

fathom fog
#

the King is annoying man

#

the bull is okayish if you're running athena or shield

winter crescent
#

The bull is the hard part for me lol

sterile solar
#

the bull is indeed the real enemy, thats why you kill it first

winter crescent
#

Yeah

fathom fog
#

the bull I try to kite in the bottom of the arena and dodge accordingly

#

theseus can go f himself

sterile solar
#

he probably would

fathom fog
#

especially with his Calls man it takes so long to kill him

sterile solar
#

which call do you hate

fathom fog
#

all

#

idk I've only beaten him twice

#

the other ~4 times I just died because of status and his spear throw

fathom fog
#

dangit noooo

#

I wanted to do a revenge build but athena took my fourth god(in the random boon from charon) so I cant get ares boons anymore

fathom fog
#

well this sucks arse

#

skelly isnt a death defiance

#

so why tf does it being active impair stubborn roots

sharp hazel
#

hello there

sudden kindle
#

how in tartarus do i defeat that ignoble schmuck theseus

#

I use all 4 of my death defiances almost every time 😭

sharp hazel
#

Welp I'm fighting the big bad for the third time

#

What can go wrong?

#

Aand I died

sudden kindle
tacit palm
sudden kindle
#

no

#

aspect of achilles spear is the best i refuse to switch

fathom fog

#

or 1 from chaos

fathom fog
#

...maybe I should invest some more darkness in it and not use stubborn defiance

tacit palm
midnight apex
# sudden kindle how in tartarus do i defeat that ignoble schmuck theseus

Lure the Minotaur away from Theseus and fight it behind a pillar. Kill the Minotaur first before you get Theseus into his second phase. Use the pillars to hide behind Theseus’ spear throw because it’s difficult to dodge, and don’t forget to dash THROUGH the Minotaur, not away.

sudden kindle
#

thank u <3

#

i love achilles aspect so much

#

is there anything similar for other weapons?

winter crescent
#

Eris for the gun is kinda similar

left flint
#

I'm not really using cast often, is it just a base dps spell unless you upgrade it?

midnight apex
#

Either use a weapon that buffs it or put a boon on it or preferably both

#

Also, the mirror upgrade Boiling Blood improves your damage against enemies with a cast in them

left flint
#

I'll try it, I just wasn't sure if the dmg was good or not

midnight apex
#

Some players like it, some don’t

silent gate
#

it's been long time since i've played hades 1, so how exactly do i earn Titan blood through raising the heat gauge? i've not fully cleared some 2 Heat runs, i'm aware that killing bosses for the first time gives titan blood/diamond/ambroisac. Are those rewards 1 time only?

or do i have to full clear (reach ||persephone|| ) the heat 1 by 1 to be able to get titan blood from the 3 tormentors?

midnight apex

@lethal zealot let’s continue the convo here cuz it’s more fitting

Yes

lethal zealot
midnight apex
#

Just reach the fountains

silent gate
#

also, for the rats... yeah just make sure you locate the cure first.. i took more damage from poisons on that floor than getting hit.

midnight apex
#

Or just kill them before they can poison ya

#

Doesn’t work against the big rat

#

But oh well

lethal zealot
midnight apex
#

To my knowledge this is one of the few games that make the damage exponentially higher

midnight apex
lethal zealot
silent gate
#

well, hades do be fairly punishing when it comes getting hit, the higher floor/regions hits hard

midnight apex
#

Maybe Styx poison but that becomes less so

#

However, REDACTED’s spin with Hard Labour is a different thing completely

#

That thing can do like 100 damage

#

Oh and armoured Elysium witches

#

lol

silent gate
#

shoot

#

aight didn't know this server is fairly moderated

midnight apex
#

Now you know

silent gate
#

i typed sheet zaglol

midnight apex
#

Remember to dash through them and as you play you’ll find it’s actually fairly easy to dodge

#

Unless forced overtime 2

silent gate
#

it's more about my usage of Dash, i button mash too hard, need more patience

silent gate
#

yea zaglol

midnight apex
#

(Meanwhile me spamming dash with fists)

#

Definitely not a hypocrite

silent gate
#

Hades 2 brought me back to this, surprisingly better at the game now zaglol

lethal zealot
midnight apex
#

But it’s still a bad habit

#

Even with divine dash

lethal zealot
midnight apex
#

It’s a duo boon

#

Athena and Ares

#

Broken as hell

#

And I love it

#

It makes doom drop instantly when you hit with an attack that can de deflected (e.g divine dash)

#

Cool just had a 25 second REDACTES fight

midnight apex
#

Arguable

#

But imo yes

lethal zealot
midnight apex
#

It’s broken

#

It also makes your doom do 40 more damage

#

Because why not

#

I’ve got a 8:57 run using the build

can you only give the same person 1 nectar each run

From Theseus?

the highest amount in general is 150 from ||hs dad pots||

I don’t remember REDACTED having spear throws

grave prawn
sterile solar
#

he does on em4 yeah

midnight apex
#

Ah makes sense I’ve only done it once

#

and brother, they hit HARD

The max is 100?
