#

okay thanks

#

last question sorry šŸ˜…

midnight apex
#

It’s on the spear actually lol, and it’s my second fav weapon

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

is there some sort of checkpoint

#

like do i keep beating that woman everytime

midnight apex
#

It’s a rogue lite, there are no checkpoints

stuck zenith
midnight apex
#

So get used to fighting Meg, you’ll see her a lot

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

ugh

midnight apex
#

None known

#

At least to me

stuck zenith
#

no short cuts and i have to beat those things everytime

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

yeah i understand

#

i actually like the system

#

just wish that after major progression

#

it unlocks a checkpoint or something

#

but whatever

#

thats just me ranting šŸ˜‚

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

thanks for the help šŸ™

midnight apex
#

Dw after you play a bunch they become second nature

stuck zenith
#

i have only like an hour of playtime šŸ˜‚

#

so i still got a long way ahead of me

midnight apex
#

You got a longggggg way to go yeah

stuck zenith
#

what does it do

#

does it reward me with a keepsake?

midnight apex
#

Give it to people

midnight apex
#

It also progresses story

stuck zenith
#

oh there is a story?

midnight apex
#

Yes

stuck zenith
#

i thought it was just me escaping šŸ˜‚

#

cool

midnight apex
#

Well nectar specifically progresses relationships

#

With characetrs

#

Which tie into the story

#

And add more narratives

stuck zenith
#

very cool

midnight apex
#

Very cool indeed

stuck zenith
#

is there anything that tracks my story progression

#

just to know where im at

midnight apex
#

And the rest is mostly key moments and amount of escapes

#

But there’s no percentage thing that tells you

midnight apex
#

Not even close

stuck zenith
stuck zenith
midnight apex
#

Yes

stuck zenith
#

like if i escape in 5 tries

#

oh wow

#

thats...

midnight apex
#

There’s nothing like that

#

But how many successful escapes you’ve done is directly related to where you are in the story

midnight apex
#

The credits are after 10 escapes, but really that’s like 15% of the game

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

isnt it like escaping once and boom im out of underworld sipping wine in olympus

midnight apex
#

I can’t tell you that

stuck zenith
#

makes sense

stuck zenith
midnight apex
midnight apex
#

There’s a credit and an epilogue, and that’s it

#

Though the epilogue takes a while

stuck zenith
midnight apex
#

I somehow haven’t read Percy Jackson, so idk how much it might help

stuck zenith
midnight apex
midnight apex
#

And they roll the credits

stuck zenith
#

thats 15% of the game??

midnight apex
#

There’s more postgame than pregame gameplay wise

#

And story wise too in a way

#

Any more questions?

stuck zenith
#

Thanks

#

And sorry for the many questions šŸ˜‚

midnight apex
#

Again, don’t apologise for not knowing stuff you couldn’t have known. I like hades, and I like talking about it.

#

Hope you have some fun! Maybe we’ll talk again. In the meantime GOOD NIGHT.

stuck zenith
#

so im 1hp

#

like 2 maps in

#

um

#

what am i supposed to do actually

#

i have no clue

rose plume
#

You beat the game obviously zagmad

stuck zenith
#

died right after

#

i have a question

#

if i see a trial of gods

#

and a normal god

rapid storm
#

depends

stuck zenith
#

why would i go for the trial of gods

#

or does it give better rewards

rapid storm
#

you cant get duo boons from trials but because they give more boons it can be more worth it

stuck zenith
#

i can?

rapid storm
#

so if your build is focused on duo boons, and you need it from the singular god, take that probably, unless you dont meet the conditions for it

stuck zenith
#

build? focused on duo boons?

#

i dont focus on any boons

#

i just take whatever

#

does taking certain boons together do some kind of synergy?

#

like rn i have artemis or artemis and poseidon

#

artemis and poseidion is harder and makes one god mad at me

#

so artemis is the better choice?

rapid storm
#

yeah and they can also work well with the aspects of weapons, like for the fists, the aspect of talos(when you use your special, it works well with knockback things because you would keep slamming them into the wall and then pulling them back to repeat

stuck zenith
#

fists? there are fists?

#

wow thats so cool

rapid storm
stuck zenith
#

hermes is useless no

rapid storm
#

no

stuck zenith
#

that guy never gave me something "good"

rapid storm
#

hes amazing

stuck zenith
#

what

#

isnt he the wings guy

rapid storm
#

yeah

stuck zenith
#

yeah he never gave me something good

#

maybe just unlucky

rapid storm
#

he has a boon called rush delivery, and it increases your damage based on whatever % increase of speed you have

#

he has more specific things, the dashes are always a good option, side hustle isnt too bad especially if you get it early, and the others depend on how youre playing with what build you have

stuck zenith
#

ah i see

#

maybe i havent gone too far to see how good he is

#

is artemis good?

#

i think she is? she always gives me crazy buffs

rapid storm
#

depends on the weapon, on things that are slower but more damage, you can get critical hits for like 2000 damage and more but it does depend heavily on the weapon

#

for the damage

stuck zenith
#

i see

rapid storm
#

oh shoot i need to censor some of these things for other people

#

give me a sec

stuck zenith
#

sure take ur time

#

idk who is my favourite god honestly

#

maybe poseidon

#

or athena

#

the deflect and knockback save me alot

rapid storm
#

wait maybe not im pretty sure these are fine right now

#

athena is pretty good because her core boons(attack, special, cast, dash) have good damage/%dmg increase even at lower raritys

#

posideon has lower end % i think but his dash is the best in the game

#

like 100%

stuck zenith
#

dash?

#

do u mean his dash buff?

rapid storm
#

yeah

#

just shortened to just dash

stuck zenith
#

oh

#

mb

stuck zenith
#

that

#

she always gives great buffs

rapid storm
#

you good, a bunch of others i still need to learn too

#

aphrodite also has great % increase for her stuff and her debuff is pretty good too

stuck zenith
#

i kinda hate zeus and aprhodite

#

the weak buff is too weak šŸ˜‚

rose plume
stuck zenith
#

doesnt feel impactful

rapid storm
#

30% less damage is pretty good, like that can be like 200 damage saved in runs

#

probably more actually, assuming you get it early

stuck zenith
#

oh right

#

how did i forget

#

CHAOS

fresh bridge
#

weak is extremely strong

stuck zenith
#

maybe

#

30% is like what

#

2-3 damage everytime?

#

could stack

#

right

rapid storm
#

if weak saved 300 damage over an entire run, you would take 700 total instead of 1000

stuck zenith
#

yeah yeah i understand

#

that is rly good yeah

rapid storm
#

and theres a set of 2 duo boons that let you get big crits, you get dionysus and aphrodite duo(allows for more stacks of hangover if they are also affected by weak) and dionysus and artemis duo(enemies affected by hangover have a 1.5% higher chance of crit per stack of hangover they have) its like a lot of crit chance

stuck zenith
#

i see

#

i didnt know that

#

well good to know there are synergies

#

im guessing zeus and poseidon dont get along

rapid storm
#

aint no way my friend decided that telling me that clash royale added a 67 emote to clash was worth an entire text over

#

sorry

stuck zenith
#

its fine šŸ˜‚

rapid storm
#

some bs he comes up with sometimes istg

stuck zenith
#

well friends do be like that šŸ˜‚

#

thanks for the help btw

rapid storm
#

wait its actually real wtf

stuck zenith
#

sorry for the questions as well

rapid storm
#

np

#

all good

formal frost
stuck zenith
formal frost
#

oh dw abt it

#

keepsake later in game

#

is good

somber frigate
#

Very high amojnt

#

You live 40% longer against weakened enemies

rapid storm
#

he realized already

stuck zenith
#

why did the first boss change :/

rapid storm
#

it will cycle through 3 now, Megara, the one youre used to, same attacks as normal nothing changed, alecto, pretty similar attacks but has a new feature and sawblades, and then tisiphone, who has pretty different attacks and arena shrinks every 1/3 of hp lost

#

idk if its an order that in cycles through or not

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

god damn it i hate having to choose between 2 really good duo boons in the same select

#

ill probably do the one that affects the higher level thing tho

rapid storm
#

smair and low tolerance

#

took low tolerance bc i have level 4 rare dio attack

midnight apex
#

What’s your build?

rapid storm
#

||gilgamesh ||hangover kinda

midnight apex
#

What call?

rapid storm
#

w common zeus call

midnight apex
#

Yeah I’d take low tolerance too

#

Though 90% of the time smair is better

rapid storm
#

yeah if it was closer in levels id think about it more but im morefocused on hangover so probably still that unless zeus was higher levelled

#

and also now i have 2 useless duos to sell at end of stage, parting shot and whatever slows projectiles

#

dude why do i not use athena dash more this is amazing

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

and tdash obv

midnight apex
#

Probably second to Poseidon, but it’s my fav

rapid storm
#

i think i put athena above bc i suck at managing where everything goes with tdash, but like the damage is so much better on it especially in styx

#

so like idk

#

should ||styx || be censored?

midnight apex
#

Like, my favourite build is ME so divine dash goes hard

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

alr, wasnt too sure

#

i need to try ME

#

ill do it after this run

midnight apex
#

It’s amazing, and good on ||Gilgamesh|| too!

#

Forgot the spoiler tag

rapid storm
#

yeah i saw that on that one website with all that info on like every build ever

midnight apex
#

Ik which one you’re talking about

rapid storm
#

yeah i just dont know what its called

#

also does athena dash give more i frames because of it deflecting or what bc i feel like im deflecting certain melee attacks but not too sure

#

oh wait does the athena boon that decreases trap damage decrease the 400% from that one ||condition ||so it would be 90% of 400 of would it just subtract 90% off so its 310% more

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

and im not risking it this run so i guess ill never know

#

god damn final boss dead when i was 1hp to i think actually all of his attacks real hp 30 tho

stuck zenith
#

third boss is too hard?

#

is there a weakpoint im not expoliting?

rapid storm
#

go after 1 and then the other, not at the same time if thats what youre doing

stuck zenith
#

i alrdy do that

#

the uh

#

||bull||

#

doesnt die

#

i hit it a thousand times

rapid storm
#

normally i go after minotaur first, and just leave theseus to do whatever tf he wants

rapid storm
#

what kind of boons did you have, like the core ones that affect attack, special, cast, dash, and call even tho its not a core boon

#

and what weapon

stuck zenith
stuck zenith
#

poseidon dash

#

and 60% attack?

#

something like that

rapid storm
#

what did you have affecting your attack and special, and if you remember, what hammers did you have, just what they did is fine if you cant remeber the names(i cant either ngl)

#

because those are pretty good so far, so it could be how youre going against minotaur, or the other boons you had

stuck zenith
#

longer

#

special i had hangover

#

and area of effect

#

i dont use special much on the boss because i feel it hinders my progress if you know what i mean

#

poseidon's call

#

i had a pretty good build but i guess im bad

midnight apex
#

It’s an alright build

stuck zenith
midnight apex
#

That boss (tbh the entire region) is the biggest step up in difficulty across the entire game imo

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

yeah the hammer i think is what could be the part that made it annoying

stuck zenith
#

i never died except to the bosses

stuck zenith
#

well

#

i dont use charged attacks so its my only option i guess

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

yeah they just make u tank alot

#

except if u get that one

#

that makes it charge less and recover faster

#

that one is useable actually

midnight apex
#

They’re not considered very good to use consistently

rapid storm
# midnight apex Really?

does depend on the other options there a lot tho, like the one that lets you have like 3 spears out per attack

stuck zenith
#

consistently is the word

rapid storm
#

idk what its called

stuck zenith
#

but how does that benefit me when i should abuse my spear's range

rapid storm
#

but i saw it shred em3 asterius and theseus

rapid storm
midnight apex
rapid storm
#

also depending on the attack you need to dash through or away from enemies

midnight apex
#

Mostly cuz flurry jab exists

midnight apex
stuck zenith
rapid storm
#

its faster attacks i think

midnight apex
midnight apex
#

And to the opinion of most people too

stuck zenith
stuck zenith
#

give me any bfuf and remove them and ill take it

midnight apex
#

You can also just hold attack instead of spamming the button

stuck zenith
#

or idk

rapid storm
# stuck zenith woah whats ur fav weapon then

fists fs, love them, just completed a run a second ago actually, very fun build, dionysus on attack and with low tolerance to stack more hangover that does way too much damage ngl

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

youll still get the faster attacks i think

#

if you dont hold

stuck zenith
#

i like just spamming my dash key

#

thats kinda what i do on bosses

#

makes me feel like im bad at the game but it works so

rapid storm
#

learning how to use dashes better will help greatly with that fight too, i started off dashing and still catch myself doing it sometimes but during asterius and theseus its better to time the dash strikes or dashes so you have them to dodge their attacks

stuck zenith
#

i mean i dodge their attacks

midnight apex
rapid storm
#

fr?

stuck zenith
#

yeah i do

#

its just that the archer guy

rapid storm
#

no not you i believe you

stuck zenith
#

hits me if i stop for 1 second

#

oh šŸ˜‚

midnight apex
#

Yeah I main Demeter fists

stuck zenith
midnight apex
rapid storm
# stuck zenith hits me if i stop for 1 second

yeah his attacks are really annoying, i dont like how the sign that shows when archers/theseus are gonna hit you, i think its dumb that the projectile doesnt hit you when it dissapears but a second after, also use the cover in the arena to block the shots, works really well

stuck zenith
midnight apex
rapid storm
stuck zenith
#

hit instantly

#

u have to keep hitting

#

idk i tried them once

midnight apex
#

You press attack and they attack I don’t understand

#

Unless you’re doing the entire combo

stuck zenith
#

yeah but if u dont whats the point

rapid storm
#

fists are fast enough to where the like barely any wind up animation shouldnt affect if you hit an enemy or not

midnight apex
stuck zenith
rapid storm
#

yeah its basically dash striking with the occasional dash upper mixed in especially for 3/4 aspects

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

so fists have a combo?

rapid storm
#

crazy that im a fists main and cant answer that

stuck zenith
#

one second im choking

rapid storm
#

not really a combo, just 5 hits in front of you

#

i guess if you add dash strikes its an inf combo as long as the enemy has inf health

midnight apex
#

After those 5 hits you have to pause

stuck zenith
#

well

#

might try them later

#

but my 2 favs so far are bow and spear

#

shield is soooooo bad

rapid storm
#

shield is best for speedrunning

#

its pretty good, all the weapons are, just depends on how you want to play

rapid storm
midnight apex
#

I hate the shield

rapid storm
#

i fw it but not heavily enough to play it a lot

#

just had a sword guy while in erebus tweak tf out

stuck zenith
#

im gonna go sleep

#

done of runs today

#

13 runs today

stuck zenith
#

I DID IT

#

HAHAHA

#

EASY

midnight apex
#

How many attempts?!

#

The average is 35-40, and that felt much faster

fallen mango
#

how do you check if you got a diamond (hydra) with one specific weapon, can't remember wich one i miss lol

steady turtle
rapid storm
lime wigeon
#

I 🫶 SHIELD

midnight apex
#

Holds the speed record, and was the first weapon to clear 64 ||heat|| unmodded

#

Great safety, damage and everything

#

I just hate it

#

I just despise using it

#

The only build I could tolerate was effing pulverizing blow aspect of Zagreus

lime wigeon
#

....

#

swearing is banned here?

#

i just said the s word 😭

#

okay well good to know

midnight apex
#

Indeed

lime wigeon
#

anyways, yeah. i have a friend who plays with bow

#

and is really good bc he's been playing a lot longer than me + hades is my first game

#

so when i unlocked bow i was hyped bc he glazed it. and i HATED it

midnight apex
lime wigeon
#

i can't play with bow or spear even gun

midnight apex
#

(WOW you hate range)

lime wigeon
midnight apex
#

The number one leading cause of bow dissatisfaction in new players is not dash striking enough

lime wigeon
#

when i started out i couldn't move properly half the time bc i didn't know how to use the controls 😭 shield saved me bc i could stand there while getting attacked and then release, dealing damage and taking none

#

i still love it

lime wigeon
#

i also hate spear and gun idk why

#

shield, fists, sword are good for me

#

oh and the shield upgrade that turns ur bull rush into a piercing shot?

#

literally broken. u take 0 damage and deal insane amounts

#

i beat ||hades (as in the boss fight)|| on my first try with it. that upgrade counts as an attack and i had a ton of attack boons

#

on base it gives 80 damage. i was dealing so much damage

midnight apex
#

And yeah I’m aware of charged shot, it’s great

#

But it’s just not the most fun for me

somber frigate
rapid storm
#

yeah its pretty fun, more fun than how other games do ranged characters in the same genre of games, like with the perfect shot kinda stuff

lime wigeon
lime wigeon
stuck zenith
#

Tbh i had a super good build

midnight apex
#

3 attempts
Really

stuck zenith
#

I had charon's keep sake

#

Which made full hp

#

175 hp

midnight apex
#

In total you did 3 attempts

#

To beat the boss

stuck zenith
midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

No total

#

Like total escapes

#

I did all the 3 bosses yesterday

midnight apex
midnight apex
#

I meant total runs

#

Or rather total attempts

#

To beat it for the first time

stuck zenith
#

Oh my bad then

#

Yeah i beat it in 13 then

#

3 for the 2 guys

#

Like 9 for the second boss (idk how)

midnight apex
#

That’s like a third of the average, good job!

stuck zenith
#

And 1 for first boss

stuck zenith
#

I had a rly good build tho

#

I was carried

#

Had an extra dash and super high dash strike and special damage

#

I also learned how to dodge the minotaur well so

midnight apex
#

I beat it in 27 I believe

#

Or 25

stuck zenith
#

I feel hades bosses

#

Rely on ur movement

#

Rather than dodging the boss

#

I kited so well that i didnt think about their moveset

lime wigeon
#

it took me 59 attempts lol

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

I must have had a rly good build then

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

Second boss took me like what

#

5-6 tries

#

and its easy

midnight apex
#

Even with good builds you’re probably one of, what, 5 I’ve met who’ve done it faster than 15

#

If that

midnight apex
midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

Wait

#

I have to beat them every time???????????

#

Ugh

#

So if i die at final boss

#

I have to start from point zero

#

That's crazy

midnight apex
#

Well it’s a roguelite

#

What did you expect

stuck zenith
#

Idk like

#

Oh u have escaped underworld

#

Now its time for you to go to the big house of hades

midnight apex
#

He literally ||straight up dies||

stuck zenith
#

Boom

#

New checkpoint

midnight apex
stuck zenith
stuck zenith
#

Just uh yapping

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

Ranting? šŸ˜‚

midnight apex
#

Disappointed?

stuck zenith
#

Not really

#

Just thinking of all the runs i have to go through again

#

To reach this point

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

10 wins?

midnight apex
#

And then you’ve completed the tutorial

stuck zenith
#

wait wait wait

midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

i have to reach the final boss

#

10 times

#

and win?

midnight apex
#

Yes why?

stuck zenith
#

I mean

#

Isnt that like

#

Crazy or am i hallucinating

midnight apex
#

Crazy hard or crazy easy

#

-# just messing with you btw

stuck zenith
#

Well

midnight apex
#

Well, credits IS 10 wins

stuck zenith
#

U said u did it in 26 attempts?

midnight apex
#

But it’s not easy

stuck zenith
#

Won 10 times?

midnight apex
#

Not the credits

stuck zenith
#

Oh

#

I think you misinterpreted my words

#

I didnt get my first win

#

I only beat elysium's boss in 13 attempts

midnight apex
#

OH

stuck zenith
#

That's why i said 3

#

Not 13

midnight apex
#

How many runs did you take to win? Have you won yet?

stuck zenith
#

I havent won yet

midnight apex
stuck zenith
midnight apex
#

Oh attemptsss

#

Well youre still above average

stuck zenith
#

Im currently in the 13th attempt

#

Like actually in it

#

I reached

#

The temple of styx? is the name?

midnight apex
#

Yes

stuck zenith
#

I see a big charon shop to my left

#

Right*
And 5 paths to my left

midnight apex
#

You’re on track to get a win in sub 20

stuck zenith
#

Why is everything more expensive

midnight apex
midnight apex
stuck zenith
#

I have 8 coins xD

midnight apex
#

Oof

stuck zenith
#

Hmm

#

Ill let you choose

midnight apex
#

What’s your build rn?

stuck zenith
#

Do i go ares or aphrodite or power up or coins (buffed enmies) or health (buffed enemies)

stuck zenith
rapid storm
#

i heard, but idk if its true that going for either both miniboss chambers in styx has a higher chance at getting the satyr sack(used to get past cerberus) than going for 2 non miniboss ones but idk if its true

#

its also never on the first chamber and most likely on the 2nd chamber at around 50% chance there, its less likely to get it the more chambers you have to do before it, and i believe having to go through all 6 chambers is like a 2% chance or something

rose plume
#

Is there a good way to avoid the chariot's attacks in elysium? I always struggle to dodge their attacks and it's so frustrating having to take like 20 damage every time I see them melcry

stuck zenith
#

i dont wanna be that guy

#

but spam dodge?

#

i never got hit by them i think

rose plume
#

I will spam harder next time shadegrief

dusty vault
#

for big ones is kinda run around the walls till they stop
if they are unarmored you can just attack them freely, if they are armored you def wanna wait till they chill/have enough dps to burst the armor first

rose plume
#

The worst variant is ||the one summoned by hades during his first phase melcry ||

lime wigeon
dusty vault
somber frigate
covert tinsel
#

Who do I give my first|| nectar|| too?

midnight apex
lime wigeon
#

if u want to know what cerberus's thing is it's a ||old spiked collar. adds to ur health bar. like 25 at first i think and then with upgrades is like 50 so u can start runs with double health||

#

as for ||skelly, he gives u a tooth. it gives u one extra death defiance||

#

but yeah, giving to a god is good too, especially if u already have ideas for builds and stuff

#

but if ur kinda just playing "mess around and find out" like i did at first, having health is what's imp

#

up to you, happy. nectar gifting!

covert tinsel
somber frigate
#

When you find their boons

covert tinsel
#

Cus would love to give it to ares
My boy gets misrepresented a LOT

somber frigate
lime wigeon
#

get a boon and u get an option to press g

#

gifts them nectar

covert tinsel
somber frigate
covert tinsel
#

And I saw somewhere that for a weapon a certain god is generally good
Is there a list for smthg like that?

lime wigeon
lime wigeon
#

that's upgrades i think?

#

upgrades are different

somber frigate
lime wigeon
#

u can't get them via nectar

covert tinsel
lime wigeon
#

have u defeated the first boss yet?

lime wigeon
covert tinsel
somber frigate
#

they also give you increased rarity chance for every boon you take from that god while they’re equipped, and the forcing them to summon is worth so much more than that

covert tinsel
#

Oh nice

lime wigeon
lime wigeon
covert tinsel
lime wigeon
somber frigate
#

putting a god into your god pool guarantees they’re going to be a part of your build since the god pool can easily just lock them out if you aren’t using god keepsakes to get your build together

lime wigeon
#

i kinda do just mess around most of the time so i haven't used the god keepsakes much

somber frigate
#

before you’ve taken boons from 4 regular olympian gods (aka anyone but Hermes and Chaos) the game will randomly generate the boons from any of the gods available (aside from Hermes and Chaos since they generate seperately). Then once you’ve taken boons from those 4, it narrows down the gods you can find to just those 4.

lime wigeon
#

also bc all the other ones seem a lot more useful in my head

#

but i should start planning more. maybe try ares bc i won with his doom effect

#

well

somber frigate
#

They’re pretty much the most useful keepsakes in game for tartarus (and asphodel)

elfin sky
#

spear sword or bow

lime wigeon
#

but out of the options

#

sword

elfin sky
#

I use spear right now but on my next run I try sword

lime wigeon
#

sounds good. exprimenting is good

eager hill
#

Im struggling for megaera

#

Any tips?

median sphinx
# eager hill Any tips?
  • dash a lot but with caution, it gives you a short time of invincibility but it can also send it towards meg
  • obtain greater reflex on your mirror if you can for two dashes
  • look for telegraphing of attacks, such as charging of the whip, and the circles on the ground
  • your special often can strike down the volley from meg
  • place a boon in your attack/special slot for a reliable damage source to shorten the fight
eager hill
#

Ok thx for info

Stygian blade

oh then just stick to those tips for now yeah

dire orchid
#

When you are at the mirror of Knight, and you swap the talents from red to green, does the game punish you for that?

I’m more interested in faded persuasion than faded authority

fresh bridge
midnight apex
#

Which isn’t a punishment really

#

I use the green side of the mirror a fair bit

dire orchid
#

The green makes me feel like they make the game easier…

fresh bridge
#

a lot of them are better than the purple yeah

dull egret
#

Just got hades for the first time after looking at it for ages, it feels amazing and im loving the accuracy to source material (especially the coin in skelly's mouth), does anyone have any info/tips i should know?

thats my tip to you

i learned by playing

#

there is no tutorial

Feeling really overwhelmed by this game. If I get lucky with the fists I can make it to the final boss, I got to him one time. I can’t get to him with any other weapons, and now I’m realizing that there’s all the green options for the mirror and I have no idea what works best. And I haven’t used tighten blood on any of my weapons yet I’m just not sure where to go, I’m getting good, particularly with the fist, but it still feels like I’m trying to boil the ocean Here

rapid storm
# dire orchid Feeling really overwhelmed by this game. If I get lucky with the fists I can mak...

fists are great, it could be a lot of things that are restricting you from beating the final boss, could you tell me what kind of build you typically go for?

Also about the mirror, the 1st option could go either way, the next 3 are mostly the purple side(apart from a few certain things either later in the game or for certain builds) and then the next few are probably also purple, its definitely a lot, but it gets less confusing later

covert tinsel
#

What stuff should I equip in the mirror?
I have 6 unlocked

#

And besides death defiance
Everything is maxed

#

And haven't touched the alt stuff

lime wigeon
midnight apex
#

Yeah but it’s expensive as hell so it’ll take a bit

midnight apex
#

^mirror guide

u should unlock more mirror stuff

And ofc entirety of tartarus was a tutorial

covert tinsel

#

Love Aspect of Achilles

covert tinsel
#

Yeah dash AND damaging is crazy thh

#

And that's a long ass dash too

midnight apex
#

I recommend continuing to upgrade the aspect over the base spear

covert tinsel
#

And u can just chose not to do it and basic attack

midnight apex
#

It also increase cast damage

covert tinsel
#

I haven't been using casts much tbh
Maybe cus it's the shift key atm for me

#

Should prolly change that

midnight apex
#

Casts are rlly fun if you know how to use them

covert tinsel
#

I'll try to do it more

lime wigeon
covert tinsel
dire orchid
#

i'm not quite clear on what's better to take from eurydice. ambrosia delight or pom porridge, how do you all decide?

rapid storm
#

it depends, if you already have your main core of your build, one of the first 2 options(because you cant guarentee what you get from the next few boons for the rarity upgrade, if the stuff you have isnt the main part, or you have too much to guarentee youll upgrade at least 1 thing you want, id go with the next 3 boons higher rarity, someone else probably has a better shorter reason but this is mine

dire orchid
#

my question being out of the first tywo options what's better?

rapid storm
#

depends on what youre trying to upgrade, if you have an artemis boon youre trying to upgrade, the rarity one, artemis doesnt get a good enough buff to use a pom on it like ever(except maybe pressure points, idk tho) id guess most of the time the pom one tho, you upgrade more things(i think) and the bonus from poms isnt available on all things so it will narrow the upgrade choices to just the few things that youre probably trying to upgrade

dusty vault
#

the rarity boost will help for better hermes, duo/legendary odds, chaos.

rapid storm
#

oh yeah forgot about that part too

dusty vault
#

poms/+2 rarity are generally taken in certain late game context

dire orchid
#

man i odn't even touch chaos

#

still trying to beat the game for the first time

#

made it to the final boss twice, but wasn't close when i got there....only weapon i can do it with is fists. feel like i'm doing somrthing wrong, i'm investing in mirror upgrades like crazy (haven't done the green ones yet)\

#

no idea how to build out and which to make green vs. purple in the mirror...to say nothing of wepon upgrades which i haven't touched.

dusty vault
#

short version for builds (boons wise)
low, fast dmg weapons like fists prefer boons like zeus attack which add an extra effect to each hit.
higher but slower dmg weapons prefer boons like aphrodite that add % to the attack.

#

do you have the codex upgrade for the boon list yet?

#

re: mirror there's a pinned guide (use the text one) for it

dire orchid
#

Yeah sure, I think it’s a lack of defense. I usually go for the divine Dash first, I also like status effects overtime. I’ve also pumped a lot of darkness into the extra damage for when enemies are afflicted by two or more status, but I’m not sure that’s paying off. I’m not so confident that works very well with lightning because you still need to get the jolted status, and I’m not quite sure how that affect compounds with doom because doom is just a one time hit so there’s not a very big window for the added damage bonus for two or more status elements. Typically I’ve been going for some Athena power ups, and then poison from wine and some sort of second status ailment

I’ve made it to the final boss twice, but with One or little death defiance remaining.

I’ve invested no tight in blood so far, and I’m not quite sure what my second best weapon is, possibly shield or spear

#

I also have not experimented with the green side of the mirror at all. I’m saving up my darkness so I can unlock faded persuasion and get more favorable boons

#

I also think my style might be too offensive. Maybe I’m trying to go too fast. But a rush down is the only thing that can get me through,

dusty vault
#

Also for something like fists you can just do zeus attack start then use athena's keepsake in asphodel for her dash

#

(in general, using god keepsakes in the first two regions is super strong)

dire orchid
#

I always use keepsakes for the first two, usually Athena then Dionysus or Ares

#

I have no idea what the frames are that you are referencing

dusty vault
#

So if you need to dodge an attack you must not be attacking during the dash

dire orchid
#

OK that’s interesting, because Dash strike with fists is my primary police style with that build

#

Is the double status ailment bonus buff worth it? How does that factory in with lightning and doom?

sweet brook
#

priv status isn't worth it lol

#

inconsistent 40% compared to consistent 25% on the other side of the mirror

dire orchid
#

What’s the other side? Also, you are always invincible from everything while dashing as long as the animation is not interrupted by something else?

sweet brook
#

yeah

#

the other side is family favorites

#

you get 5% more damage for each unique god you have, not including chaos

#

generally over the run, you get 4 different gods and hermes so that's 25%

dire orchid
#

OK good to know, I have all the abilities unlocked on the mirror, I just haven’t invested in all of them yet. I’ve done pretty well with the purple ones as far as darkness investments, but what else should I look into? I’ve barely played it all with the green

sweet brook
#

there's a mirror guide pinned here iirc

#

so you can check that out and read through everything

dire orchid
#

I will check that out

#

What about weapon upgrades for the fist? I have five tighten blood, I have not beaten the first boss with the bow yet, I’m not quite sure how to use that weapon at all I’ll get to that later. Should I be investing tight this early? This are definitely my favorite lesson, but if I only get six tighten blood for the whole game, I might be more conservative in how I spend it

#

Sorry for typos I’m dictating and multitasking

#

Titan*

sweet brook
#

you get a lot more later once you clear a run lmao

#

so just upgrade what you feel like upgrading

#

demeter aspect is by far the best aspect for fists if you want to invest in that

dire orchid
#

Ok

#

What about the magnetic special?

sweet brook
#

more gimmicky than useful

dire orchid
#

Trying to find the pinned mirror guide in text form but I don’t see it

#

@viscid notch is that text mirror guide still available? I can’t find it in the pins

merry zinc
dire orchid
#

Thanks all

#

Link wasn’t working for me at first

#

The mirror guide looks good, the only place I’m unsure is God’s pride versus God’s legacy. I would assume God’s legacy is if you were looking for very specific things

dire orchid
#

The butterfly keepsake, is there a cap to how much it can stack? Is the damage buff lost when you switch keepsakes?

dusty vault
#

god's pride effect for hermes more than anything is so worth

#

(stuff like yarn of ariadne/refreshing nectar/chaos's favor boon all increases duo odds by +10%)

dusty vault
# dusty vault no and yes

(and in general butterfly is less worth cuz it also kills the consistency of using other keepsakes/the weapons that are better at no hitting benefit a lot less from the buff)

tacit needle
#

I feel like i keep button mashing, i have a decent amount of time in the game. 18 runs, and have cleared elysium once, but i feel like i keep button mashing, cuz it works better than any other metod, but i can't really stop, any tips?

#

Like how to get better at tactically attacking/combos

rapid storm
#

it took me a bit to stop mashing dash and attack too, i had to keep checking myself to stop doing it, idk what will help you but id say just keep paying attention to yourself and if youre spamming or not, also what weapon are you using because that can help with knowing what to do

static ibex
#

how do i use titan blood?

somber frigate
#

then you’ll unlock the feature

terse coyote
#

I'm on my 26th run and I haven't been able to give Zeus nectar for 10 runs, I finally started using my nectar around my 20th run but Zeus refuses to show up or when he does it's in the store where I can't gift him. have I softlocked myself out of getting Zeus boons?

midnight apex
#

It guarantees you see him

terse coyote
midnight apex
terse coyote
#

not yet cause he doesn't show up anymore

terse coyote
midnight apex
#

Hmm. Try not starting with a god keepsake and just doing runs

terse coyote
midnight apex
#

I don’t remember a way to soft lock a god out

covert tinsel
#

So Meg door didn't show titan blood this time and showed me darkness

#

And I lost this time

#

So.. does it change every time?

#

Or it changed cus instead of going thru charons shop
I went for the other door?

#

Cus it showed titan blood every time before this and I went for shop before

lime wigeon
#

once u beat her once with a weapon

#

u collect the blood and after u always will collect darkness

#

to get more blood, beat her with another weapon

#

or for later game || use pact of punishment to increase heat ||

#

but yeah, one blood per weapon

covert tinsel
#

Oh..

#

Now that dialogue makes sense

#

It was confusing for me for no reason

covert tinsel
#

I accidentally sold one my titan bloods...

#

Can I get enough to upgrade all weapons to max still?

dusty vault
#

Yeah

#

All resource are infinite through other methods

#

(trading at the lounge/fishing/charon at last shop)

#

In fact, even with all sources of blood obtained, you still need fishing or trading to max all

dire orchid
#

So the chaos gates, what’s the point of them? Just to make things more challenging and fun?

rapid storm
gleaming shard
#

Escaped successfully multiple times. Can't believe I am saying this. Hades is indeed king of rougelikes.

#

Yes it is

dire orchid
#

Finally beat it!!!!

#

Daedalus upgrade that converts the last weapon to automatic combined with seeking from Artemis

gleaming shard
dire orchid
#

Underneath my keepsake, when I have it equipped, there is a number one and a yellow circular arrow, what does that mean?

dire orchid
#

Artemis

narrow ice
#

It means that the next boon you receive is guaranteed from Artemis and then stops

dire orchid
#

Ahhhh ok

And what about when that number is not there at all?

narrow ice
#

It's time is up surely

#

You received your boon from Artemis now all it does is give the extra 10% for a rare boon

somber frigate
#

Two have a timer

rapid storm
#

oh yeah i forgot about those 2

somber frigate
cunning oak
#

||how do I get the 2 hidden infernal arms?||

midnight apex
#

Then just do a few runs with all of them (can’t remember if it’s based around unlocking them or using them, but you should try them out anyway)

#

Iirc it’s either at least one run with each weapon or just unlocking them all

dusty vault
#

Is just a run after you unlock the first 4 for the 5th, then another after 5th for 6th

midnight apex
#

Aight thanks

dire orchid
#

What are some of the best bang for your buck defense or damage medication boons/upgrades?

I’m getting better at the game but so far I’ve only beaten it one time with one weapon. I think it’s because I am unintentionally building class cannons every time

I’m curious where your investment go the furthest as far as survivability traits

midnight apex
dusty vault
#

Dmg reduction wise is often weak (aphro) or sturdy (hermes's hyper sprint/some hammers)

#

Both offer 30% dmg reduction, with aphro having the only boon that increases this amount additively. (Broken resolve)

#

Greater dodge/second wind from hermes both work nicely (dodge chance is additive)

#

And quick recovery is surprisingly decent at high rarity?

#

Other stuff are really meh

#

Hyper sprint also has the giant benefit of opening rush delivery which can add a lot of dmg

covert tinsel
#

Can you get more titan blood besides 6 from megaera before the asphodel boss?

dusty vault
#

There are some prophecies that grant blood but can't do them with just the first 2 biomes

#

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
covert tinsel
dusty vault
#

Np

#

Also yeah no that trade stinks lol

covert tinsel
#

I don't wanna farm for the stuff that the architect has

#

Like the fountain upgrades and such

#

😭

dusty vault
#

If you have spare gold remember to buy them from charon

#

Or troves

covert tinsel
#

But, yeah I'll go posiden keepsake for increasing rewards for it ig

#

But haven't seen them on charons shop yet

dire orchid
#

@dusty vault are you saying Aphrodite’s boons are worth it?

I rarely use them, and charm is almost never inflicted

dusty vault
#

Aphrodite has the highest % of the boon givers so for high base dmg weapons yeah she's worth it

#

Also weak ≠ charm

#

Weak is afflicted with her standard boons and make those enemies do 30% less dmg

#

Charm is the effect from her call/legendary

somber frigate
#

You are thus taking less then half the damage
