And donāt die too much!
Anyway GN
donāt be afraid to @ me
Though o might be asleep depending on the time zone
thank you
The land down under
australia?
eastern europe :/
lol were opposite sides of the world away
lmao
4pm
good night
yo can someone help me with which weapon to pick in hades and which aspects do i take i have 8 blood thingy
and didn't unlocked any of suprem weapons
ty but i don't really understand this chart
im playing with the bow right now what's the best weapon ?
the letters indicate how strong the aspect is at that level
S and A mean strong, B is good, C is meh
and what is chiron and hera for exemple
the aspect names
there isn't one. it depends on your playstyle.
okayy i'll max the bow i think it's for the noob ngl
f i tought i could put all the aspects... i've used 4 on zagreus for the bow and 4 for the hera is there a way to get them back lol
What keepsake is the best?
the one you enjoy
depends on your build, you ever played a roguelike before?
what abilities should i look for with a shield?
i have 400 hours on isaac
which shield
you pick the keepsake that goes with your build
yea
artemis is the green one?
yes
would athena also work?
Is there an option to remove the pack of punishment
before you start a run just set heat to 0
Yeah disable whatever you enabled
There's romance in the game right
Yes
How do I start it
Progress the storylines of certain people
This isn't a dating sim in any way btw, the option to romance is just there
Yeah
I just like Thanatos
Give everyone nectar and eventually you'll get the option to give a few specific people ambrosia
If you really want a character to let you give them ambrosia, you can check the wiki to see the requirement.
What do bounties do
Give rewards that do things
How far have you gotten?
I beat the game 2 times
I saw that there's a prophecy saying that I needed to beat it with certain bounty conditions and I don't get it
Oh heat bounties let you get ||Titans blood, diamonds and ambrosia||
By bounty conditions do you mean the ||heat modifiers||? Cuz bounties are just the rewards from beating the bosses
You wouldāve unlocked ||the pact of punishment, so theyāre trying to get you to either do all the heat modifiers or beat the game with enough heat on a weapon||
This is most certainly what they mean
I think so too
What does the ||heat|| actually do
||heat|| should be censored
||it makes the game harder. Some put time limits, make it harder to heal and buy, make enemies move and attack faster, make bosses harder etc)||
Btw you can read anything Iām censoring when talking to you
Cuz I know what you have and havenāt done
||Why? Like what's the actual reward?||
More of the bounties
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
Does ||blood, diamonds and ambrosia|| need to be censored
Not really
And if I just beat the game regularly?
Would I get the rewards again?
Ok yay
DARKNESS
and a lot of it
You wouldnāt
If you did it with a different weapon, you would get the bounties again
You can only access more bounties on the same weapon by completing a ||heat level|| you havenāt already got the rewards for
What's the maximum ||heat||
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
64 but for bounties itās 20
64
HUH?!
You wonāt get any extra bounties after 20
64 has only ever been completed twice on unmodded games
The most the game kinda intends for is like 32
Same
Cuz that's where skelly's statues end
What do you mean completed twice?
By you?
How
(3 times)
It's a lot of rng
Bai, angel and playad
I know there are more completions with the speedrun modpack thou
I didn't think there was ||64 heat||
Most people who start playing through the ||heat|| levels stop somewhere around 32
One option is locked behind your account being in hellmode and one is locked behind story beats
Another is locked until you have all the mirror options unlocked
Thank you
So how do you actually finish the game
Get the ending
You need 10 escapes to reach the credits but there is an epilogue
There isn't infinite dialogue
and even after the epilogue youāre only a fraction of the way through the 21020 voice lines
Buddy there isnāt infinite anything
But thereās a lot
I have 2
So what do I do in the dialogue
Like a relatively low bar to set for finishing Hades if you donāt want to leave after the epilogue is maxing all relationships, and getting all your ||heat|| bounties
Itās just talking to the npcs
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
Censor ||heat|| no?
How do I give them ambrosia
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
I forgot
And her story might be linked with others
Each npc has a specific āfavourā that you need to complete to progress their relationship past their locked hearts
These are different standards for finishing the game
You can find each one on the Hades wiki page for them
Thank you
Hey just a question, when does one stop being a new player here?
Itās 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
Once youāve reached the credits of the game is pretty much when you step out of this chat
Makes sense
This chat is meant to block players who havenāt finished the story from spoilers
I was just wondering if we counted the epilogue as spoilers
To those who already got the credits
Might as wellP
Anywho yāall I gtg
How many times am I supposed to play the game
Infinite
Won't they run out of voice lines
It takes a while
but thereās more than just voicelines to Hades
A lot of the replayability of roguelites comes from enjoying the gameplay 
Can I play after the epilogue to advance the relationships
Yes
The Epilogue doesnāt make you stop being able to play the game
Itās just the ending of the Hades 1 story
The game never stops you from playing, it is endlessly replayable
Yeah, the game has an in-universe reason for why you can continue if you pay attention when you talk to Hades after getting to the credits
There's still a lot of story after the epilogue
How come
Lots of side stories
Neat
I really dislike when people call the epilogue the end of the story, it really isnt
It just wraps up the main family story youāve gone through but thereās still so much with every npc
Ohhh
Ok
I thought that's after being finished with the epilogue you need to have a new save
That'd be so silly lol, nah you can keep playing your save file
You're new to roguelikes uh?
@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
Yeah thatās 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?
no i cant find them for some reason
i know theres supposed to be a gun and fists
Lemme guess, the skelly room has two empty spaces?
yeah
yea
well i didnt beat meg with the default sword
if that matters
but i did use it ofc
I think it might
I know you need to use all the weapons available to you
But I donāt know if you need to beat Meg, but I think you might
Try that when ur free
This is really odd
Like out of the ordinary
I know this because Iāve had all weapons and used all weapons by run 6 on a fresh save file
They just need to do a run to refresh the house or smt
Happened to my friend
If they donāt see it next time they reach the house then somethings up
My game was crashing a lot, maybe save file got messed up or soemthing
i'll see when i can play
Ok
do you know what abilities i should look for with fists?
zeus?
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 letās you go for the smoldering air duo so itās recommended)
And Poseidon dash for damage
For newbies you can swap the dash to Athena if you prefer
TWO
merciful end
Itās 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
Hope this helps
after credits have rolled, is it impossible to go back to persephone's house?
Defeating meg is hard 
unfortunately yes
her moveset isn't complicated, don't panic, observe what she does and react accordingly
dang, i wanted to fish there š¦
you can still fish in the final arena after defeating the final boss
I see
will try again.
I believe there's mod for this. By default, no
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 āfavorā But he didnt tell me anything Or smthg. How do i Fulfill/activate that thing
How you complete each favour is specific to that npc, and not told to you in gamr
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
ohh okay! tysm :3
is Varatha the Spear good? i kinda liked it.
Itās pretty good
Thereās no bad weapons in hades
The games really well balanced
alright
Hey! How do you get the diamonds
kill the bone hydra with different weapons
you'll unlock the best way to get more after winning a run
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
weapons are permanent, unlock all of them because something important happens when you do, you always start from level 1
What do I do with the blood thing from the first boss
unlock all the weapons, then you can use that blood to upgrade them
Second boss done šŖ
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
This game is so good
What do you do to upgrade a weapon
once you unlock all weapons, play another run. after returning to the house, talk with skelly
you need cthonic keys, they randomly appear as door rewards
You only do it until you find the fountain basically
The satyr sack is also there, which you need
Ok thanks
What do I do with ambrosia
And should I get the fishing rod?
Also how do I get more diamonds
Thereās only 6 weapons so I can only get 6 diamonds right? But loads of work orders require quite a few diamonds
You can trade up the resources through the broker who's in the lounge
And after you clear a run you unlock more ways to farm them
Ok cool!
Give nectar to characters and at some point a few specific characters will let you give ambrosia
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 Iām very confused on the point of everything
Nevermind watching ign beginners guide
dw u didnt miss anything
Iāve just cleared a run, how can I farm them now?
go to the courtyard and interact with the exit gate, you'll see
The pact of punishment thing?
I think ||pact of punishment|| needs to be censored, but yes
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)||
Nah, preach it king
Bro how do I get better weapons
When do I get better weapons
My weapons are horse manure
define better weapons
what are you having trouble with
My weapons are butt they do 30 damage only
I prefer the spear but even that does 30
So garbage
Is there a preferred boone build for spear?
yeah because you're supposed to use boons to make them stronger š
honestly I'm not that good at building spear, someone else may help you here
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
Upgrades*
I have my stuff maxed I need a few more keys
I get to the area after the fire place and my stuff is doing 40 damage
My boobs suck I get the worst options
gift the gods with nectar, then start with the keepsake of the god you like the most and use their attack boon
Hades is a roguelite (._.)
Erm, the devs called it a roguelike so take it up to them š
By definition itās a roguelite
Thatās like saying āyeah chess is an fps gameā
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....).
Quite frankly, I do not care, I think the whole lite vs like is very silly, and again, the devs called it a roguelike, send them a ticket
This isn't what I say or think, this is the game the devs made
Just because they made the game doesn't make them immune to making mistakes š how is the 'lite vs like debate silly'? It helps to distinguish between the two types of games.
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).
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
Genres are fake, anyhow, lol. If it looks like a roguelike and quacks like a roguelike....
God dammit bot
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.
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
"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.

Great vid btw
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?
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||
All characters have this kind of favor. As a sidenote, once the favor is over, you'll have to start giving Ambrosia instead of Nectar.
Oh, thanks š
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)
depends on which weapon you're playing and what you already have
regarding basic boons, faster weapons like more flat damage (zeus, dionysus) while slower heavier weapons like % boost damage (aphrodite, athena...)
Extending jab or triple jab for spear
Iād take triple there
How does slippery defiance work if I have stubborn defiance
help help help
I donāt know what to do
it gives a separate death defiance that is one-off and restores 50% of health
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?
Uh all of Hades 1 was unlocked last year and this year
Are you talking about Hades 2?
oh, sorry! I meant Hades II lol
Can someone help me .
Can you view all the boons mid run?
I'm returning player... first time playing on controller
I cleared base game on keyboard mouse
Thnx bro
Let me see
I was never able to path it correctly for duo and legendaries
Learn her attack patterns, she has very few actual attacks
Another option is to yolo it and just try to out damage her
Under the keepsake you'll see a timer
Clear the room before it's done and you gain dodge/movement speed
Is there a limit to it?
The timer is dependent on the room/the buffs disappear if the keepsake is removed
Just how many combats you can get
I see
You have to reach the final boss eventually 
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
The sword is kinda carryinge there ngl
Maybe maybe
Onto hydra now :/
YASS I DID IT
Yoo I've beat the bull of minos
Is he stronk
Uhh I think I've reached the boss of the jungle
Any tips?
The jungle? We call it the temple, the area with Cerberus and satyrs
elysium
There are a few mini bosses but ya then Theseus the king and Asterius the bull
Ship?
Isnāt that a hades 2 thing?
Lmao
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.
Okay ig
asterius do not spin until u have em3 activated no ?
Oh maybe
Still go in after he does any swing or attack
What if I spam second form bow
Spamming bow special is not very effective š
You can build towards it but itās pretty much always worse than just focusing on your strike
Iād recommend if youāre using bow to make sure youāre dash-striking instead of standing striking
Oke
It makes bow way better
erm, how exactly do I tell ||Orpheus that I found Eurydice? Do I need to give them more nectar?||
You definitely need to give nectar to both of them to complete their story arcs but think for your area rn you should be good with just the regular dialogue lines
aight
sheesh the diamond contractor jobs are expensive
how are you ever supposed to get that many
You unlock a way to refresh bounty rewards once you escape for the first time
guess I am a long way from that
I usually die 1 or 2 chambers after the ||bull in elysium||
is the bow better then exagryiph ? cuz i find better with the latter
Thatās subjective
Both are really good
Both deal good damage, and have extraordinarily powerful attacks when built correctly
Some say bows better
is the build have to do with the god's belssings ?
hmm, im usimmg exagryph with ares and artemis blessings is it good enough for the final boss ?
blunt ?
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 āDoom stackerā
Artemis special is goated tho
idk im just vibin with them blade vortex :^)
got the one with the throw and the dash
If ur only using the cast the builds not horrible
plus i can cst "condanna" (don't know how to translate but it gives more dmg on hit)
(Assuming you have Hunting blades, the duo boon between Artemis and Ares)
which one is which ?
Sounds like the legendary thatās really good
Wdym
the duo blade and the hunitng one
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
What
U don't have to
Or impending doom
Impending makes it worse
It kinda sucks otherwise
It makes it funnier
Unless u pom it a lot it will still take 2 dooms to kill an opp, except longer
Even for new players aslong as it's rare or epic doom I think it's onpar with dio
Really subjective there
Yeh
ok i can say that i got two epic blessing
Just use whichever you enjoy more, but ultimately if youāre in this channel you definitely arenāt using either at peak gameplay
both from ares
For rail and any other weapon for the most part ur attack boon is like the majority of your build
So like when I said doom I meant ares attack
āwhoops itās all Aresā
Whoops
i mean i got his gift from giving him honey so guess thats settled š
Non i think
||can i show you my build after killing the hydra?||
The real play is ME Hunting Blades Eris by starting Doom/athena special and then exchanging for or selling and slotting in artemis special
Not the craziest thing ever
Itās like a viable build
Strike shatters shields then doom deals with the normal hp
Oh cool
Never thought of that
Stay near the rocks so you can dodge the lasers. Learn the timing for the large spins. Btw you can avoid the lasers entirely if you hug Hades REALLY close to him (a bit risky if you donāt know what ur doing but it works)
The story ends with credits after the 10th clear
Thereās an epilogue
Oh and im sorry for the spoiler
Can ya edit it so it doesnāt show
Do you mena the credits?
No thereās more after
I will
Thereās first clear, credits (10 wins), then a further epilogue
Even then, thatās only the main story
Whens that
I still haven't came there
Epilogue can be completed whenever
Itās ||testing||
Itās
Actually not gonna spoiler
But hiw do i get the epilogue
Just max relations with the Gods
Oh its that epilouge
āJustā
I figured there would be something with the gods since theres a prophecy about it
Yup
Thats what ive benn doing giving them nectar everytime lol
You need to max ambrosia too I think
Bte when you max relationship with somone with who you have a keepsake dose that keepsake become stronger
Yeah thereās no further upgrade
While a streamer had 250
Huh?
Idk and i figured it was the relationship thing
No thatās either modded or they had chaos boons/that one Poseidon boon
I think
To my knowledge maxing relations has no gameplay changes
It doesnt, idk how theyve had 250.
prolly poseidon cuz u need a buff of 66% gold for go from 150 to 250 or maybe a chaos one
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
It looks pretty much the same
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
just unlocked it
Oh
Itās probably just +1 if youāve got it at level 1
rather than 5 at level 5
Which isnāt really a big change at all
The animation should barely change
oohh i see, thx
The change gets more prominent with more levels in it
in your opinion, is the fists better then the minigun?
What is dionysius effect again?
poison ?
Oh so it works like that
its just do continuous dmg for some sec
Ngl I'm either going to build for either dio or posideon to beat the ship theseus
depends of ur weapon
I'm vibing with the sword ngl
i only know the ares athena build with the sword
cant say if pose diony are good with sword
I'd imagine posideon is good with knock back stuff
In overall performance at the highest of both late-game avenues of play? It isnāt
For anyone asking in this channel?
It doesnāt matter
Hangover causes damage over time for each stack on an enemy
I'm getting desperate to beat theseus ngl...
I reached temple of styx YIPEEE!!!
WAIT NO NOT CERBIE
Why is a giant rat stronger than half of tartarus
good question
He's not just giant
He also has steroids
Thereās a reason the speedrun modpack offers the setting to disable that one from popping up lmao I thought this was about the tiny one
ez way to add a full extra minute or more to your run purely due to bad rng šæ
Wait till you get to the small vermin boss
That
Ohhhh
I confused Tiny and Large for a minute
Whoever programmed it, good job you made me even more angry
The aphrodite -zeus duo boon allows you to auto charge your call super fast but caps the gauge at 25%
So no greater call?
Is generally not worth on most calls
Outside of Aphrodite/artemis calls
The rest all benefit from being spammed as lesser calls
If you want to use either of these just try to do as many hits as possible
So like fists + zeus attack + support fire
arent we all
Also another benefit of lesser calls is that they give you iframes on activation
He's built different
You only see him twice a run usually so no point to have a summon keepsake
Ngl you can build around him alot
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
Dash, wait, dash, wait, dash
OR dash opposite from the direction REDACTEDās moving
Should let you dodge the first two and be out of the way of the third
what do you mean wait
it's one large spin attack
the moment I see it telegraphed I dash away and still get hit
Dash through him
Opposite from where heās moving
Also do you know how dash iframes work
Is pretty much the entire dash duration
And yeah the dash strike thing
||https://youtu.be/JtRUgvxIN20|| anyways final boss fight I have recorded for the moves and what not
Also showcases call iframe mechanics and how good the acorn keepsake is
do you ever get to find out who the old narrator is
The game won't tell you but you can make educated guesses
(hades 2) ||melinoe will just call him by his name tho||
Any tips for the theseus fight
#h1-for-new-players message heroes tips, theseus is a message below the linked one
Nvm i got em
Ngl I hate the temple of styx
Btw what do I have to find for cerberous
you'll see
well, yeah
you can go through the rest even after finding the item
Oh noe do I need to fight dad?

Wish me luck
One thing to keep in mind is that while you can fight more tunnels after finding the sack, you won't get another fountain to heal
So in most cases if you find the sack just go before you lose more hp
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
Wdym got a lot harder, it shouldn't have changed
Wringers and the sneak miniboss maybe
Demeter nerfing build consistency
š
Flat damage strikes (lightning, hangover, doom) go a long way on the fists
and so does dash striking
The range does mean you have to be a lot more intentional with dashing
Gm fellas
Gn fellas
good morning fellas
Ngl I find demeter useless
Bruh why is demeter so ARROGANT
She disrespected posideon and artemis
Because she old
Plus she has a cold personality
Even so compared to even dionysius she's weaker in boons
The only good thing I found is the cast
Umm
She actually has one of the worst casts in the game when played optimally
The fandom literally calls it meme beam
That's how low the bar is?
Donāt get me wrong I love the thing
This games really well balanced
Though she is imo the worst God in the game
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
Ngl I like athenas dashes
Sameeee
Easy survivability
Hers and Poseidons are the best in the game
By a long shot
Divine Dash is my personal fav
Razor shoals? Yes
Ngl the cast actually helped in the hydra battle
The cast is aight
Solid
But not mind blowing
Pretty reliable, but not worth going out of your way for
Well what are mind-blowing casts
Depends on the weapon
Let's say sword
Aspect of Poseidon?
Imo Aphrodite
Spear is Dionysus
Shield is Poseidon
Bow is Aphrodite
Fists donāt use casts well
And neither do rails
They can, but not optimally
Hm?
The achilles keepsake
But if we stack it up with aphrodite
Sigh
We won't really take alot of dmg?
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 arenāt usually worth taking
Okay...
Elysium is the only one you have some leniency on
But then take the acorn or smelly tooth
Got it
Gn
They lowkey forgot these, but Athena cast w/ Lightning Phalanx and Ares Cast w/ hunting blades are some of the best casts in general
Doesnāt really depend on the weapon at all, aside from 2 aspects not really being able to use them
Ngl lowkey I might beat the game in less than 50 runs
Ye
Game would be rather short otherwise
There are 21020 voicelines in game
as sort of a measure of how much content you can get through storywise
Breh
I mean realistically you arenāt seeing 100% of the voicelines
But beating the main story is maybe like 20% or 30% of them
ā¦
That seems like a high estimate
Sidenote but the aphrodite cast recommendation for bow is mainly for the aspect of Hera
As Poseidon for shield is for itās casting aspect
It happens
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 thatāll make it to the Hades fight)
and then since there really arenāt any good damage keepsakes the best keepsakes for dad are defensive and Acorn can easily save you 200+ hp
Good luck
I hate the fishing
I haven't been able to catch ONE fish in the last 5 runs
dumb bobber
Ig I've seen the fishing rod
How much does it cost again?
Is the chaos egg worth it?
Eh
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
1 diamond I think
Aight ig
You fish
And when you see the thing go under the water with a moderate splash
Press button
there can be up to 3 fake bobs, you have to ignore them and wait until the real pull
up to
unless you're running shattered shackle then it makes sense
fake bobs?
bruh
I'll keep that in mind
Basically it bobs bht doesnt go underwater
When it goes underwater thats when you pull
You mistimed it then
You have a full 2/3ās of a second once the light flashes up
could i run hades on macbook air monterey?
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
idk, tell us about it
do tell us about both
The bull is the hard part for me lol
the bull is indeed the real enemy, thats why you kill it first
Yeah
the bull I try to kite in the bottom of the arena and dodge accordingly
theseus can go f himself
he probably would
especially with his Calls man it takes so long to kill him
which call do you hate
all
idk I've only beaten him twice
the other ~4 times I just died because of status and his spear throw
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
well this sucks arse
skelly isnt a death defiance
so why tf does it being active impair stubborn roots
hello there
how in tartarus do i defeat that ignoble schmuck theseus
I use all 4 of my death defiances almost every time š
Idk did u maybe try and kill the minutaur first?
Welp I'm fighting the big bad for the third time
What can go wrong?
Aand I died
i do
try different weapon
how tf did you get 4 death defiances
3 from mirror and 1 from tooth
or 1 from chaos
...maybe I should invest some more darkness in it and not use stubborn defiance
for beginner yeah its better
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 Theseusā spear throw because itās difficult to dodge, and donāt forget to dash THROUGH the Minotaur, not away.
thank u <3
i love achilles aspect so much
is there anything similar for other weapons?
Eris for the gun is kinda similar
I'm not really using cast often, is it just a base dps spell unless you upgrade it?
Yes
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
I'll try it, I just wasn't sure if the dmg was good or not
Some players like it, some donāt
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?
@lethal zealot letās continue the convo here cuz itās more fitting
Right
So the rats are the worst enemies in the game
Each heat his its own bounties in Tartarus and Styx and you progress by meeting the condition you censored
Smol, big, big boss or smol boss rat
All
If I had the choice all poison damage would disappear
lets just say i'm very bad ||at hades||, raising heat doesn't seem to let me farm ||titan blood||, it seems like i need to full clear the stated Heat Condition to be able to continue farming?
SPOIL CENSOR THE FINAL BOSS
and correct
Couldnāt agree more
tq 
You need to beat the game to raise heat levels to unlock more bounties and get more blood
but she cute tho
Yes
It's the worst kind of damage in every game I played and I hate every single part of it
Mild skill issue, but yes
Just reach the fountains
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.
Or just kill them before they can poison ya
Doesnāt work against the big rat
But oh well
I'm considering making a genuine essay about poison damage in video games
To my knowledge this is one of the few games that make the damage exponentially higher
As you play more youāll learn to dodge them better
I know
Dark souls poison swamps my beloved
well, hades do be fairly punishing when it comes getting hit, the higher floor/regions hits hard
Eh not really
Maybe Styx poison but that becomes less so
However, REDACTEDās spin with Hard Labour is a different thing completely
That thing can do like 100 damage
Oh and armoured Elysium witches
lol
Now you know
but ye i took those things in the face, multiple times, w/o hard labour.
i typed sheet 
REDACTEDās attacks are actually really well telegraphed
Remember to dash through them and as you play youāll find itās actually fairly easy to dodge
Unless forced overtime 2
it's more about my usage of Dash, i button mash too hard, need more patience
Rookie habit
yea 
Hades 2 brought me back to this, surprisingly better at the game now 
Divine dash
Ok I play Merciful End so I do that
But itās still a bad habit
Even with divine dash
Merciful end?
Itās 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
Best duo in the game
It sounds good
Itās broken
It also makes your doom do 40 more damage
Because why not
Iāve got a 8:57 run using the build
So yes, itās good
can you only give the same person 1 nectar each run
Yep
everytime i see this my brain defaults to the game redacted
the highest amount of damage you can receive from a single enemy attack is 100
from ||em4 spear throws with hl5||
From Theseus?
the highest amount in general is 150 from ||hs dad pots||
I donāt remember REDACTED having spear throws
only with ||extreme measures||
he does on em4 yeah
Ah makes sense Iāve only done it once
and brother, they hit HARD
Even with ||the blood stones in ya?||
The max is 100?
oh that would be another 100% which makes it 150
good point š
Thank you thank you
