it's a random boon

#

👍

tender tangle Jul 26, 2020, 6:04 AM

#

so uh...based on the limited info i can find by searching the web, it seems i should have unlocked the 4th aspect on at least one weapon by now, but all that info seems to be 6 months to a year or so old. what gives, how do i get them? the event that should occur, isn't.

sly vigil Jul 26, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

@tender tangle have you checked out the pinned post in #h1-story-discussion ?

#

mild spoiler, of course, but instructions are there.

tender tangle Jul 26, 2020, 6:07 AM

#

that's exactly what i mean - i've met the requirements for the spear and it isn't giving it to me

#

😦

#

guess i'll just try and get some more blood and unlock more things, meh

tender tangle Jul 26, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

lol it finally worked, only took going beyond what the requirement is supposed to be by a bit...oh well

gray haven Jul 26, 2020, 7:56 AM

#

The requirements in the pinned message are correct. You probably just needed to get through other dialogue or finish another run first. That's usually the case when something hasn't shown up yet that you meet the requirements for.

small schooner Jul 26, 2020, 9:43 AM

What makes a rare version of a boon better than a higher level one?
Since the NPC in Asphodel offers a choice between upgrading the rarity of two, or levelling up four, I'm assuming rarity has to be better, but from what I can see they both just increase one numerical aspect of the boon

(Probably the same one? Haven't kept track fully)

pastel cipher Jul 26, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

some boons can't be levelled up, however they can increase in rarity; for example chaos and hermes boons

small schooner Jul 26, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

Hmm, I see
But generally does that make the pom porridge the best choice if you have a lot of boons since any dish just picks randomly?

uneven slate Jul 26, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

Depends. If you have good odds to increase the rarity of your core boon (attack or special in most cases), then it is worth to take that. Because rarer boons also scale better with later level ups.

#

If your amount of boons is already very large by the time you reach Eurydice, taking the pom porridge yields better results.

small schooner Jul 26, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Alright, thanks

uneven slate Jul 26, 2020, 9:55 AM

#

Also, the Ambrosia Delight is the more reliable way of two to get a boon to Heroic rarity, which cannot be found by regular means.

#

(The other way are exchanges, but that can only be done with attack, special, cast, dash or call boons).

gray haven Jul 26, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Because rarer boons also scale better with later level ups.
That's not true. Rarity and pom level are additive.

uneven slate Jul 26, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Doesn't rarity serve as a multiplier?

#

At least, that's how I understood the wiki tables, but you certainly know better than me on this field, with your spreadsheets and all.

gray haven Jul 26, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

Yes, but the level and rarity multipliers are added up.

#

An increase in rarity typically gives a greater bonus than any pom level. The bonus from pom levels will also decrease with every level up to a minimum. (E.g., the damage from Lightning Strike will always increase by at least 1.)

patent grotto Jul 26, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

I want to ask questions but I'm not sure what is considered spoilers or not :(

ornate remnant Jul 26, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

some boons can't be levelled up, however they can increase in rarity; for example chaos and hermes boons

To clarify as well, there is no way to change the rarity of a chaos boon once you've gotten it, and they also cannot gain levels (except by stacking two of the same)

#

@patent grotto then you can ask with spoiler tags ( || like this || )

patent grotto Jul 26, 2020, 1:48 PM

Ok :)

leaden whale Jul 26, 2020, 2:06 PM

What are some good controllers that I can buy? I’ve only used KB/mouse until now.

#

Been eyeing on 8bitdo SN30 Pro+, looking for some other suggestions 😆

solid talon Jul 26, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

I use a normal x-box controller and I am happy with it.

ornate remnant Jul 26, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Haven't tried it yet with this game, but I've had good experience with the Switch Pro controller for other games on Steam

leaden whale Jul 26, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

(Oops thought I was in general off topic channel my bad)

#

Ah I see

#

Lots of options

solid talon Jul 26, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Switch pro is a bit too small for my hands, but this is only my problem^^´

leaden whale Jul 26, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

interested to see how it will play with a controller 🙂

#

Getting used to controllers will def be a big transition I’m sure

solid talon Jul 26, 2020, 2:16 PM

#

Hm. I didnt play with M&K before, so i can only say, that i got used to the controlls really quick.

leaden whale Jul 26, 2020, 2:19 PM

#

Yeah we’ll see how quickly my hands will let me adjust to the changes zaglol

chrome jackal Jul 26, 2020, 3:22 PM

#

I way prefer a controller over M+KB

jaunty maple Jul 26, 2020, 3:35 PM

#

I’m a huge fan of the PS4 controller for all my controller needs - I’ve never owned a PlayStation but it feels like the most responsible and most comfortable by far for me (average size hands, grew up on Dreamcast/Xbox)

leaden whale Jul 26, 2020, 3:39 PM

#

Thanks for the suggestion guys 🙂

rough tundra Jul 26, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

I also use an Xbox controller for games like this, I’m a huge fan of the way it feels

#

I’ve also become really fond of having a rubber grip cover on my controllers, just makes it more comfortable for me because my hands tend do sweat when I play a lot and that helps greatly

#

Silicone I guess

balmy wigeon Jul 26, 2020, 7:27 PM

#

I tried playing with an xbox controller and switched to keyboard since using dash attack was somewhat inconvenient

rotund linden Jul 26, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

I've been playing this on PS4 pad.

Kinda wanna try it with my arcade stick or hitbox.

sly vigil Jul 26, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

hitbox would be dope lol

#

I am here just using my Xbox controller

#

but I imagine most controller with one shoulder button would do

leaden whale Jul 26, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

Yeah just gave it a go with my wife's switch controller, not bad. I'll def need time to get used to it lol

frigid fern Jul 27, 2020, 4:25 AM

so just escaped for the 6th time and i only just realized you have to click on the weapon aspects to actually change it and grant the abilities

frigid fern Jul 27, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

is there a way to see a complete list of boons etc in-game?

ornate remnant Jul 27, 2020, 11:43 PM

#

nope

#

we've asked for one though xD

#

there is the wiki if you'd like

spare marsh Jul 28, 2020, 12:05 AM

#

Just swap to another aspect?

#

Zagreus aspect is always going to be an option.

ornate remnant Jul 28, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

well, @random shale you can just click on the aspect to switch back

#

you don't need to pay titan blood to switch

spare marsh Jul 28, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

It doesn't cost titan blood to just eqip Zag aspect.

#

Or any aspect you've unlocked.

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

but also, Achilles is so fun! dash through, spam cast at them or hit them with backstabs

#

and you can call back the spear with the attack button

#

delete that immediately haha

#

this is not the spoiler channel

||and don't mention the second phase either, though I'd wish I'd known about that when I first got him there haha||

#

just letting out some frustration

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

yeah, that sucks! which weapon(s) you using?

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 3:56 AM

#

||yeah same lol||

#

i almost won with the fists

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

I love the fists! just won with them a second ago, though I find I need a good cast cuz they're super low range

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

woah nice!

#

I ran the demeter cast

ornate remnant Jul 28, 2020, 3:57 AM

#

also, 20 hours and having not beaten the game is quite reasonable

#

this is a hard game

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

I get tired and resort to randomly smashing buttons

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

take breaks, drink water!

#

best advice for any hard game

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

which leads me to my demise

#

hmmm def

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

though in this one, not long breaks, or you'll forget what your build is haha

ornate remnant Jul 28, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

I recommend shorter sessions, only a few runs depending on how long your runs are

#

keeps frustration down :3

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

yeah, no more than 2 runs at a time, I usually do 1

#

then I do monster train or... "real life"

#

I love the idea of the Demeter cast, but I find it soooo hard to use well

#

I currently much prefer the burst of Artemis, Zeus, etc

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 4:10 AM

#

I usually just spam it

#

the demeter cast

#

also it adds on well with one of demeter's boon

#

something about adding attack damage when you have no red crystal things

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 4:12 AM

#

I LOVE that thing, if it works the way I imagine it, but since I just always spam my casts it doesn't really matter which I have haha

#

Stygian Blood (if that's the +50% damage against people with your bloodstones in them) is radddd

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

the boon adds like 3% or something

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

I think it goes to 30% if it's epic

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

eh I forgot, I'll try a demeter run tomorrow nd see if I can get that

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

have you got much of your mirror maxed out?

dry kernel Jul 28, 2020, 4:14 AM

#

yeah I did

#

just not the olympianw favor and the other epic one

#

everything else I believe is maxed

ornate remnant Jul 28, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett

jaunty maple Jul 28, 2020, 4:26 AM

#

ahh, yeah I won my first run the same time I got my third Defiance... and ending up not needing it, the skill grows fast

#

your problem seems to be the panic above all else - maybe try more spear?

patent grotto Jul 28, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

does anyone have any tips for the bow? especially in rooms with lots of enemies I struggle more than I should :/

midnight ledge Jul 28, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

any specifc aspect ?

#

the base bow special is quite good for clearing

#

can add zeus on top

gray haven Jul 28, 2020, 8:41 AM

#

Use dash-strikes a lot. They charge faster than normal attacks.

#

And practice doing Power Shots reliably.

high breach Jul 28, 2020, 12:18 PM

#

reposition yourself constantly, your range is your biggest advantage

lethal rain Jul 28, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

^. A lot of enemies become predictable once you break the close distance with them, as they start slowly following you

#

Obviously not quite applicable in small rooms, but even there a slight gap may be the key difference

warm idol Jul 28, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

Can I ask what does dark foresight in the mirror gives the chance for? I mean there is a synbol but what does it mean?

is it from reddit or wikia page?

#

How does Aspect of Hestia interact with Spread Fire hammer?

stoic zephyr Jul 28, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

the empowered shot is unaffected by spread fire entirely

marsh ether Jul 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

In general, Hestia's empowered shot ignores hammers and boons

tepid vale Jul 28, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

empowered shot does not ignore boons. It deals bonus damage and/or applies status effects

pulsar frigate Jul 28, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

unless it's ricochet or piercing (or maybe explosive?), you're better off taking special hammers or not even taking hammers at all on hestia

leaden whale Jul 28, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

so any useful tips on using the sheild or rail?

ornate remnant Jul 28, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

Shield bull rush is very powerful

pulsar frigate Jul 28, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

zag shield loves attack/dash attack builds, but i wouldn't use special on it

#

chaos is special-based, and zeus uses a mixed playstyle

#

i usually build either bull rush or attack/dash attack, not both, but it can work

leaden whale Jul 28, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

and for the rail is using effects that do extra damage for the special like doom or hangover any good?

midnight ledge Jul 28, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

hangover doesnt really stack at all

#

weak is nicer

pulsar frigate Jul 28, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

you want the gods that have separate damage sources (zeus, ares, dio, support fire from artemis) on rail attack

#

zeus particularly

#

the special is your big damage ability, so use damage modifier gods on it (artemis, demeter, aphrodite, athena, poseidon)

#

when i play rail, i incorporate both attack and special into my style

lyric forge Jul 28, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Ares only really works with the Dire Misfortune Tier 2 boon on the Rail attack, as otherwise it doesn't really benefit from the rapid attack speed.

pulsar frigate Jul 28, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

you want something to do in between reloading

leaden whale Jul 28, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

ok thanks

warm idol Jul 28, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

there seems to be a hovering circle under the boons, does it have any significance or just visual? (it seems we can't upload screenshots here)

ornate remnant Jul 28, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

I think just visual

#

You can upload to imgur and link here, that's allowed

sly vigil Jul 28, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Hello Ms. Iron Swan

leaden whale Jul 28, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

yeah thanks for the advice

#

a special that has high damage is good

#

for the rail

tame violet Jul 28, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

why is dad such a douche?

#

also, do any of you guys run with custom control layouts?

sly vigil Jul 28, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

I do

#

I use A for attack, B for dash, X for cast, and Y for special.

#

if you play the Witcher 3, it's a similar control scheme

#

also rebind your rail reload to LB, the Codex can go somewhere else, like how often do you even open it lol

tame violet Jul 28, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

oh yeah thats the exact same button I rebound to rail reload

#

I tried putting dash on rb as well but couldnt get used to it

leaden whale Jul 28, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

i use keyboard and mouse should i swap to controler?

ivory ocean Jul 28, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

there's no clear consensus on which is better, it's all about what feels most comfortable to you. personally, i prefer controller because i find it easier to dash

tame violet Jul 28, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

I kept walking into lava on kb+m 🤷‍♂️

sly vigil Jul 28, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

i use keyboard and mouse should i swap to controler?
there is no strictly better option. both mkv and controller do equally well, even at absurdly difficult level. i do think that controllers are a bit more popular though.

midnight ledge Jul 28, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

Imo it depends a bit on the weapon

#

Keyboard and mouse for rail special

stoic zephyr Jul 28, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

yeah, the main awkward things for controller are definitely rail special and trippy shot aiming

velvet tendon Jul 28, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

Eris rail worth investing?

sly vigil Jul 28, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

One of the weaker rail imo

#

But it will do if you are really into it

spare marsh Jul 28, 2020, 11:16 PM

#

It's fine.

weak dirge Jul 28, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

it's fun with cluster bombs

pulsar frigate Jul 29, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

it's a global damage buff, so it's versatile

#

works with zeus bolts, hangover, support fire, your casts, etc

main zealot Jul 29, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

Hi all, I just started playing Hades two days ago so I thought I'd put this into #h1-for-new-players.
Yesterday I was battling Hydra and already got her down to a sliver of health when my xbox controller batteries died, as did Zag. shadedisgruntled
It happens, I'm not mad, I was severely under-levelled (if that's the word) anyways and will take her/him/it (?) on again later today.
It did raise a question though:
Is it possible to implement a feature that the game detects when your controller is disconnected and automatically pauses the game? I have seen this feature in other games, like Dead Cells for example. It would be great to have it in Hades as in this type of games most times one hit can make all the difference between beating a boss or being killed.

gray haven Jul 29, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

That's something you should post in #hades-feedback. Check the pinned messages there for posting rules and for how to get permission to post in the channel. squirtnya

ornate remnant Jul 30, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

you can dash away from an enemy while still hitting them

can you let theseus spear hit asterius ?

#

@spare marsh

obsidian locust Jul 30, 2020, 7:38 PM

You kind of can?

#

He wont normally hit him though

#

It has to be through charm or deflect if I'm not mistaken

sly vigil Jul 30, 2020, 7:48 PM

I heard deflected spear can also do that.

Don't think there is a way to switch dark thirst except fully attempt a run --> dying/clearing

and you have to actually USE the dark thirst weapon, right?

hello, i am new to Hades (bought it yesterday) and am super in love with it!
currently i am grinding on "default / standard" but some guides i watched mentioned "hell mode" , should i switch restart with hell mode before i grind even more?

sly vigil Jul 31, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

In short, no

#

I can go into details with spoilers

nah i am good. Will keep on defautl then, until i get bored i guess (- : (didnt even escape once so a lot to learn still)
bonus questions: i got like 5 titan blood but didnt find anything on how to use it yet, should i just progress "the story" or am i mssing something?

Keep playing. It will be revealed soon enough.

My advice is to try and be flexible with weapons

If you do so you are well on your way to see what they do

sweet! thx a lot. Yeah i try to switch it up a bit but i definitely have my favourites which i enjoy a lot more than others

sly vigil Jul 31, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

Yeah that's great. I mean flexible as in don't just go for a single weapon alone

#

Try everything at least once ;)

I don't really understand how to use the special of the fists

topaz epoch Aug 1, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

I usually use it at the up of combos

high breach Aug 1, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

dash strike with it

sand escarp Aug 1, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

my experience:
for high dmg, choose Dionysus or Ares
for buff, debuff, choose Athena (or Aphrodite, Demeter)

#

Drunken Strike - Dionysus is suitable for high rate of fire

#

like Adamant Rail attack

#

Drunken Flourish - Dionysus is also suitable for high rate of fire, like Coronacht || the last Aspect || Special

#

for weapon like Varatha the Eternal Spear, Ares Curse of Pain is suitable for Spear's special

#

I almost always choose Divine Dash - Athena's deflecting dash

#

always on the move, don't stand still

#

Eternal Spear || the last Aspect || is the 2nd best after Adamant Rail || the last Aspect ||

#

for that spear aspect, you hold attack for a short time, release attack button, you'll see || Serpent Slash ||

#

it ||heals Zag 1 HP/hit||

#

BTW, don't hold || the attack button until max ||

#

unless you fight || weak enemies ||

hello again, is there any way to see how far i have progressed with a weapon without starting a run with it? i lost which bosses i managed to kill with which weapon

uneven slate Aug 1, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

A way to know will be unlocked later, after fully beating a run.

leaden whale Aug 1, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

any way i can get more diamonds other than the broker

median totem Aug 1, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

Yes. Though you'll have to defeat the final boss once for that.

uneven slate Aug 1, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Or buy them in the temple shop.

median totem Aug 1, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

That's.... Not usually the best method.

uneven slate Aug 1, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

It sure isn't, but worth mentioning.

#

At an early stage, saving up obol during a run to buy the diamond or a titan blood is a valid method if one gets walled by the final boss, but wants to make a few vital upgrades.

cunning oracle Aug 1, 2020, 3:23 PM

#

Surely if you are getting destroyed by the final boss, saving that much gold would be equally challenging if not more challenging

something to keep in mind is that while darkness, gemstones, keys and nectar are physical examples of progression, your skills also improve after each run

shadow night Aug 1, 2020, 6:50 PM

#

Hello, I'm not really sure if I should place this question in tech support, but since I'm quite new to the game (just under 50 hours in)... I thought I'd ask here
Regarding Boss encounter number 2 in game, there is a significant delay in attack speed, music, and everything just slows down, even the main character...as if I'm playing in slo-mo.

This varies on each run, however. I think I'm on my...uhh... 61st death by now, having cleared multiple times, and I just want to ask if it's a normal thing or should I use F10 to report an issue, or it may be an issue with my computer specs itself. It only happens with Boss encounter number 2 😔

uneven slate Aug 1, 2020, 6:55 PM

#

That sounds like a framerate issue. Do ask in tech support. I think some players solved that issue by toggling VSync. F10 whenever you see something unusual like that, too!

shadow night Aug 1, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

Thank you! I'll make note of it during my next run if it happens again

You should hear a ding after you kill the last enemy

#

Sometimes Zag will also comment on it

tender thistle Aug 1, 2020, 9:08 PM

yeah i read about the ding but there is a ding after very fight

is there some kind of trick to fishing? or are rarer fish rly rly rare? cause i am only getting like 3 of the same over and over

uneven slate Aug 2, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

You can get Perfect Catches with good timing, which improves the odds of getting rarer fish.

#

There's three tiers of fish in each area, and the highest tier can't be caught with regular Catch.

tender thistle Aug 2, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

i see, gonna look up about perfect timing thx!

ornate remnant Aug 2, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Fishing:
(time in seconds)

perfect catch (0-0.34) guarantees a rare and gives a 5% chance at legendary

a "fast" catch (0.34-0.68) has a 5% chance of rare, no legendary

a normal catch (0.68-1) will get you a common fish

after 1 second, no fish

tender thistle Aug 2, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

is there any feedback ingame about how fast i was?

lethal rain Aug 2, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

It will say perfect catch if you get one

#

Nothing for fast catch sadly

tender thistle Aug 2, 2020, 8:24 PM

got a prophecy ingame with the wording "very rare fisih" does this refer to "legendary" from above?

do attack boons influence dash attacks?

#

yes

spare marsh Aug 3, 2020, 4:36 AM

#

Yep, generally.

pulsar frigate Aug 3, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

only hammers differentiate between attack and dash attacks (usually, anyways...)

#

in all other cases, dash attacks are considered attacks

spare marsh Aug 3, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Yeah, hammers are the main exception that comes to mind.

jaunty maple Aug 3, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

holy crap. looks like it, hidden spear aspect + triple dash strike + artemis dash AND artemis special seems like a lot of damage

spare marsh Aug 3, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

Yup.

jaunty maple Aug 3, 2020, 4:38 AM

#

-20% dash distance is something I'm not good at though, is there any useful advice?

Hi im new 🙂 I am currently playing the spear and bow as my main weapons (will try the eagle thingy later) but I cant pass || thesis and minotaur boss fight on the third floor || and I think its because I dont know how to build correctly. Is there any guide that can help me out?

ornate remnant Aug 3, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

Welcome! There isn't a strict guide (other than us :P), but we can give you some solid pointers. With the spear, you want to get a strong boon for your special, and when fighting || Theseus and Asterius, try and focus down Asterius first ||. Aphrodite, Demeter, and Poseidon are all good bets for your special, and Athena for your dash and/or attack is also good

unique tendon Aug 3, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

Thanks ❤️

#

Which hammer upgrade should I pick first 🙂 ?

#

For spear

ornate remnant Aug 3, 2020, 7:36 AM

#

Charged Flourish is good

#

lots of damage

pulsar frigate Aug 3, 2020, 7:36 AM

#

for bow, you want to rely on dash strikes, as they charge faster and keep you mobile

#

the special is good for spreading status effects around the room, but by itself it isn't great

unique tendon Aug 3, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

Sounds good

#

dusa

pulsar frigate Aug 3, 2020, 7:38 AM

#

twin shot is great single target, triple + chain is great crowd control (and gives a little aim forgiveness), explosive is slow but does a lot of damage (and you don't need to charge it up all the way)

#

perfect shot, point-blank, and distant are personal preferance

unique tendon Aug 3, 2020, 8:47 AM

Ambrosia is used for improving relationships after reaching the nectar maximum, and upgrading certain gifts you will receive from a select few characters.

tender thistle Aug 3, 2020, 10:59 AM

Also very useful after you max the relationships is that Ambrosia can be traded for Titan Blood at a 1:1 ratio

#

is it better to completely clear the temple of styx or move on once you find the sack?

molten ridge Aug 3, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Depends on how much you want one of the remaining rewards, how confident you can do it within your current amount of life/Death Defiances, or timer if you're using Tight Deadline

#

99% of the time? Move on

#

The ending rooms in Styx can be quite threatening and it's almost never worth it unless you're very sure you can do it safely/quickly

astral valley Aug 3, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

i feel like I would want the rewards but the full heal from the sack chamber is really nice

#

also I cant beat the boss

molten ridge Aug 3, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

If you're struggling against ||final boss|| the answer is definitely "never," as doing the side chambers will just drain more life, and the circumstances in which the first 2-4 chamber rewards you got weren't enough is next to 0.

ornate remnant Aug 3, 2020, 5:55 PM

is it better to focus on one god's boon? i usually bounce between 3 or 4 on a run depending on what I get early

molten ridge Aug 3, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

3 or 4 is normal. Some Gods, Zeus in particular, stack extremely well with themselves

#

You do want to typically focus on one thing though (not including say applying a second curse for Privileged Status). In most games, you want to make sure you're utilitizing all of your buttons, but this game definitely rewards specialization

You will need to unlock it

How to do so will be fairly clear

velvet tendon Aug 3, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

a lot of stuff is just "play the game some more"

tender thistle Aug 3, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

is dmg vs weak (10->14%) the same as urge to kill (8->12%) as both are 4% or is one increased and the other multi? (is this even a thing in this game? coming from path of exile)

ornate remnant Aug 3, 2020, 11:08 PM

#

I believe they both affect your damage in the same way (additive % increase), though the 4% isn't relevant to that

@molten ridge I think you would know? (sorry for the ping)

molten ridge Aug 3, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

From a Path of Exile lexicon, Chaos, and ("some") Hammer mods are treated as More multipliers. Everything else is Increased/Reduced.

#

Crit is treated the same as it is in Path

#

Chaos modifiers are additive with themselves though. Similar to Crit Multi in Path (and Hades), where, say for example, you get Clean Kill at rare, which is 20ish% Crit Multi, that's not 20% MORE crit multi, it gets added to your base 200% crit multiplier.

Edit: I realize now that that phrasing is very confusing for people who hvaen't played Path. "More/Less" is used to denote multiplicative bonuses, and "Increased/Reduced" denotes additive bonuses.

#

Small exception include Heart Rend, which is a 50% more multiplier to your total damage if you get a crit against a weak enemy

tender thistle Aug 3, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

@molten ridge thx!

molten ridge Aug 4, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

@tender thistle I made a minor (but important) correction. Apparently "most" hammer mods provide additive bonuses, but "some" provide multiplicative. It's literally case by case. Womp womp.

fickle grail Aug 4, 2020, 12:17 AM

How do people avoid ||the lava in Asphodel||? ||I find the spaces (even the exit ramps) so tight that it's easy to take unintended damage, especially after dashing into an area.||

Practice, honestly. And learning how far a dash goes so you don't have to think want it

second floor got a dio call and one of the picks are your special inflict hangover

#

hmm..

#

either drunken strike (physical) or drunken floruish (special)

ornate remnant Aug 4, 2020, 4:08 AM

#

I can give you suggestions, but a lot of this game is experimenting and figuring out what's fun for you ^.^

Personally, I would go for strike, and hold out for a high-damage special boon, but with a larger radius, you can apply hangover to more enemies with your special. So both have potential value :D

unique tendon Aug 4, 2020, 4:13 AM

#

Truee

jaunty maple Aug 4, 2020, 4:14 AM

yeah generally I prefer hangover to be on very fast things (fist/gun attack, weirder specials)

unique tendon Aug 4, 2020, 4:59 AM

#

@ornate remnant you should check out my build...

ornate remnant Aug 4, 2020, 4:59 AM

special is stronger and can deflect, your special is 12% faster. special is wider, special can hit twice

Achievements are planned for full release.

unique tendon Aug 4, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

#

does striking refer to only physical attacks or does it also count to special attacks?

spare marsh Aug 4, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

In context of which boon?

#

using the gun atm, how does the aspect of hestia work with delta chamber hammer upgrade (+3 no reload) , will i gimp my run with this or tripple my dmg? xD

uneven slate Aug 4, 2020, 9:10 AM

#

Neither nor. It can manually reload as usual, and empowers one shot still.

molten ridge Aug 4, 2020, 2:11 PM

#

Though I'd be wary in general of Delta Chamber. It's something of a meme in the community how bad it is. If you were, say, on Zagreus Aspect, it would likely ruin the run. It is basically textless on Hestia though.

uneven slate Aug 4, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

It doesn't do anything on its own. It would have a use with Spread Fire, but are they even compatible?

#

According to the wiki, they aren't.

#

Dang.

fickle root Aug 5, 2020, 11:39 AM

#

What is the purpose of bringing the relationship with Gods over 1 Heart or even over the Golden heart with Ambrosia? Why should i give them Ambrosia?

uneven slate Aug 5, 2020, 11:40 AM

#

You will forge a bond with them at full hearts - for now it's only flavor, but who knows, maybe that changes with the full release.

#

Also, some gods have prophecies that appear to be linked to an at least partially filled affinity.

fickle root Aug 5, 2020, 11:44 AM

#

So, even with a bond (i have with Athene) don't give you any higher Rarity or chance for the boons?

dense laurel Aug 5, 2020, 11:48 AM

#

you get better rarity from boons through the mirror upgrade and keepsakes

uneven slate Aug 5, 2020, 11:51 AM

#

The bond has no influence on rarity of boons, or the functionality of the keepsakes.

#

Some people have left feedback to change that, but whether that's implemented will be up to the devs.

obsidian locust Aug 5, 2020, 12:02 PM

#

So, even with a bond (i have with Athene) don't give you any higher Rarity or chance for the boons?
If I'm not wrong but I think it was chaos who stated it the best way on how relationships above the first level work. It went along the lines of "You are aware that you will gain nothing from these constant offerings to me?" and Zagreus said something like he is aware but he wanted to give them anyways. I think its nice because I gave most of my nectar and Ambrosia to people simply because I wanted to know more about them and simply want to show my affection for these fictional characters somehow. But that's probably just me.

gray haven Aug 5, 2020, 12:23 PM

#

It's intended to be something you do for the sake of showing your affection. It's not intended to be something you do just to get rewards.

obsidian locust Aug 5, 2020, 12:34 PM

#

I couldn't agree more

Well, that's more or less what Greg said lol.

#

@vivid patio Where was the msg saying that there won't be more romance options?

dawn berry Aug 5, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Do the god keepsakes like Zeus' work only once an escape or does it refresh at the end of every underworld region

lethal rain Aug 5, 2020, 1:54 PM

#

Pretty sure it's once per escape so it's worth to switch them, unless you still need bonus rare chance

spare marsh Aug 5, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

I just did them because I really like all the gods.

#

They're so well characterized and fun.

#

Even creepy cousin Ares who absolutely has a freezer full of heads.

lethal rain Aug 5, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

I'm afraid a single freezer isn't enough for his legendary collection

#

Unless you consider the Demeter's playground aka the surface

dawn berry Aug 5, 2020, 2:06 PM

#

So the rarity upgrade is throughout the run?

uneven slate Aug 5, 2020, 2:10 PM

#

As long as you carry the keepsake. Let's say you switch the Thunder Signet for the Vial of Blood, you lose the bonus for Zeus and gain it for Ares - and you are guaranteed one Ares boon.

dawn berry Aug 5, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

Alright thanks

velvet tendon Aug 5, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

I absolutely believe the first clear is the biggest roadblock

#

Gotta beat the game once to really play the game

lethal rain Aug 5, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

Actually the second clear is probably bigger
You get confident with first win and then wonder why runs keep failing afterwards

#

bouldy

velvet tendon Aug 5, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

At least you get modifiers and can farm bounties after first clear

#

The hidden aspects are all teasing me with their upturned skirts and i cant do anything about it short of grinding gemstones and nectar

@obsidian locust was wondering why I woke to a ping in this channel lol https://twitter.com/SupergiantGames/status/1239708946224410625

Supergiant Games (@SupergiantGames)

@UnderlandDgtl There are several romance paths in the game. We have no plans to add more, though do have plans to add content for each of the characters in the game, and add one additional character yet to be revealed.

Hi! Where can i find moemories list and how to get them?

uneven slate Aug 6, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

If you mean the fated list of minor propecies, it's sold by the house contractor and will then appear on the desk in Zagreus' room.

marble vigil Aug 6, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

Nope, sorry, i just translated from spanish version, i mean the box just before you start, where u choose the "accessory". The thing you get when giving nectar

#

I just to give the right nectars to get the rigt gigts

#

gifts

uneven slate Aug 6, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Oh, I see. Keepsakes, then.

#

You can get them from all characters but one by gifting one nectar to them.

marble vigil Aug 6, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

hahaha, in spanish is "recuerdos" which is just "memories"

uneven slate Aug 6, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

They will appear in the courtyard.

ornate remnant Aug 6, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

There is a cabinet on the left side

uneven slate Aug 6, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

A later upgrade allows you to access them during a run between regions.

ornate remnant Aug 6, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

Ah, I follow what you're asking for! @marble vigil

You can find them listed out on the wiki, along with each person they go with

#

In general though, just giving nectar to everyone is a safe option

last topaz Aug 7, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

guys can i get enough titan blood to update every aspect or should i be careful in what i choose?

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

You can trade resources for titan blood and also buy it in final chapter of the run so it's definitely something you can use somewhat loosely

last topaz Aug 7, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

alright cool

#

thanks

ornate remnant Aug 7, 2020, 12:19 AM

#

In addition, if you decide after getting a new Aspect (or spending Blood on an Aspect) that you don't like it, if you Give Up during your first run with it, it'll revert to before you spent the Blood, as long as you didn't leave the courtyard before starting

wind niche Aug 7, 2020, 1:18 AM

Hi guys i'm a new player and I would like to know how long does a run last on average? For example I like Risk of Rain because I know that when I start a run, It will often take more than one hour to finish it and I find it satisfying. Anyway if it wasn't the case for Hades I would still love this game but i'm interested to know

#

*I mean how long a finished run last (because I didn't get past asphodel so I don't know what happens next)

ornate remnant Aug 7, 2020, 1:21 AM

#

My runs average around 40-60ish minutes real time

#

I'm decently fast, but I frequently alt-tab to this server even in the middle of a run (decently fast being averaging 20 minutes by the run timer, which is not the same thing as in-game time)

wind niche Aug 7, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Ok that's nice ! good to know thank you

ornate remnant Aug 7, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Sure thing ^.^

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 1:33 AM

#

Yeah, they seem to be around an hour for full completion, maybe down to 45 minutes when you go fast

gray haven Aug 7, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

Usually around 35 minutes real time for me now at this point. If you're starting out, it's gonna be a lot slower, of course.

#

Although, some people are really fast right from the start.

topaz fiber Aug 7, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Is it just me, or are all the invulns (and stealths in the final fight) really frustrating?

#

I've been loving every single thing about this game except when a boss bubbles itself :/

sleek whale Aug 7, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

its to prevent you from insta-killing a boss. And well they're bosses, they should give you a hard time.

blissful marsh Aug 7, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

I've just finished unlocking every keepsake, but i'm not sure what ones are good besides the coinpurse. any recommendations on which I should level up first?

topaz fiber Aug 7, 2020, 6:35 AM

#

@blissful marsh say for instance you're on a run and want to seek out a certain boon from a specific god that will synergise with your run, I find you will naturally level up god specific keep sakes like this

#

So in that case, whichever god keepsake that has the boons you find fun are good to level up. I also personally find that somewhere towards the end of a run I'll take the broken spearpoint for defense

#

The distant memory can be a really nice boost to damage if you're keeping foes at a distance. The Lucky Tooth can give you that extra life you need if you lost all your death defiances early on

#

Starting off with the shattered shackle can be a quite fun also

blissful marsh Aug 7, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

Cheers

#

Also do you know which god gives the highest %base damage increase on attacks?

topaz fiber Aug 7, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

I don't know for certain but I seemed to find that Aphrodite's attack has highest % on it. I wonder to myself whether it's equivalent to the potential damage increase you can get from Artemis' bonus damage + the increased crit strike it offers.

marsh ether Aug 7, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

If you're looking for raw damage Aphro is on top followed by Poseidon and Demeter.
It is worth nothing though that Artemis crits can lead to much higher damage.

topaz fiber Aug 7, 2020, 6:57 AM

#

I see. I had been considering the weighting that was given to the different status effects on each boon. So like I guess the damage reduction offers the least potential damage output so they tweak its value higher. Poseidon has the potential for knockback into walls, demeter offers a slow which is great utility so it make sense to do less damage

#

Then every attack you throw with artemis you're rolling that dice for those sweet, juicy crits

sleek whale Aug 7, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

depends on rng though tbh on getting crit hits, so if u want consistent high damage aphro is the best way to go

#

however if you have a weapon with high fire rate (the rail or fists), the crit damage might be worth it

blissful marsh Aug 7, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Ahpro is very nice for damage reduction and max health, so if you get to greedy and take a hit trying for the 3 hit combo on arthurs sword its less punishing

sleek whale Aug 7, 2020, 7:12 AM

#

i have using arty strike and chaos boons on 4th aspect of the sword done pretty consistent 2k+ dmg

spare marsh Aug 7, 2020, 7:43 AM

#

Aphrodite's stuff generally has the highest raw damage.

#

Her flourish is the highest modifier as well.

gray haven Aug 7, 2020, 12:27 PM

#

however if you have a weapon with high fire rate (the rail or fists), the crit damage might be worth it
Attack speed is honestly irrelevant for whether crit is good or not.

spare marsh Aug 7, 2020, 12:30 PM

#

Crit is basically a damage modifier. It's just buried in math and higher variance RNG.

gray haven Aug 7, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

What ultimately matters isn't the damage you do but the number of hits you need.

spare marsh Aug 7, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

To kill an enemy you mean? Yeah.

gray haven Aug 7, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

Or to break armor.

spare marsh Aug 7, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

Yup yup. So it can be hard to measure the value in a vaccum.

#

But saving yourself multiple hits with a big slow weapon like Hestia aspect is worth a lot.

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Smaller crits indeed are more suitable against regular targets, as less potential is wasted

#

Although one cannot deny getting huge crit numbers is a joy for eyes to see

#

Also technically hunter's mark is more suitable for big hits

uneven slate Aug 7, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

What a dangerous question to ask.

#

Everything involving the last fight is so far up spoiler territory that I wouldn't want to answer it here.

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

I'd just tell you that no final boss is safe from second phase curse bouldy
Always be prepared

ebon flicker Aug 7, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

is the reload on the rail tied to movement speed? had a chaos boon which reduced move speed, and reload seemed really slow (might just been the animation)

uneven slate Aug 7, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

That's an interesting observation. Does that happen with the moving reload only, or with the stationary reload too? I'd f10 that just in case

im just gonna see if i can play slower

i just kinda feel overwhelmed

and im running on 240 fps on a high referesh screen

should i try to do more rooms

How are you doing for health?

Generally, unless I'm doing well on health and confident I can easily clear them, I won't bother with extra rooms

last topaz Aug 7, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

well i was full health from the last boon i got

#

i got to the third phase (of the first health bar if there are mulitple) im not quite sure how to deal with the grey bubble guy it creates too much trash on the screen and takes so long to kill

ornate remnant Aug 7, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Grey bubble...?

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

Probably soulcatcher

ornate remnant Aug 7, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Mm, yeah

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

The way to deal with that is to attack, the "trash" can be removed bouldy

last topaz Aug 7, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

so you just remove the butterflies

#

or you kill the soulcatcher

ornate remnant Aug 7, 2020, 8:17 PM

Both work

Depends on if you have armor piercing

(an attack that does bonus damage to armor)

are the daedalus weapon upgades the highest priority rooms usually?

#

seemns to me that way

pulsar frigate Aug 7, 2020, 9:46 PM

#

they're usually run defining, so a lot of weapons prefer them

#

some don't, but generally speaking you want them (since you can only get a limited amount)

gray haven Aug 7, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

Sometimes if you have one particular hammer upgrade that's really strong, you don't care too much about whatever the second hammer can offer you.

#

Sometimes you do a cast build and don't care for hammers at all.

#

There's a lot of variety, and different runs will prioritize different things even if you went into the run with the same strategy.

#

And there's also just simply different playstyles from different people who prioritize different things—and yet can all be very successful.

last topaz Aug 7, 2020, 10:07 PM

mhm

#

sounds good

#

i got the triple spear upgrade which was pretty nice

#

but i didnt do enough single target

#

the arena boss fight is so spongy and spammy 😄

#

theres no way i can see the base damage of my weapon i suppose? because theres alot of +n% damage and i can never tell which one is best

you can also not see hwat is a boon and what is an upgrade

#

easily

#

im thinking if it could be +ev to just spam boons and then sell them

You'd have to rely on skelly to see base damage of weapons

last topaz Aug 7, 2020, 10:12 PM

lethal rain Aug 7, 2020, 10:12 PM

But after that, most attack boosts are additive so it's easily calculated

i.e.

no worries! You can get more initially by playing with each weapon and beating the first boss. After you've done that with each weapon, the only way to get more is to || beat the final boss || or trade for it (just don't use up all of your Ambrosia in trade)

and theres a way i can see if I already beat whit a weapon or not?

walk up to a fishing spot & there will be a button prompt to "Fish"

#

they look like this

#

you'll also hear a "ding" sound effect if there's a fishing spot in the room, after you clear the encounter (if there is one)

#

usually there's a little under 1 fishing spot per biome, so if you dont find any, there might just not have been any that spawned. Final biome has a much higher change of getting a fishing spot

solar badge Aug 12, 2020, 4:52 AM

Hello everyone. I started playing Hades a few days ago. I love this game but I felt I had a very hard time finishing a run for the first time (25 runs before I managed to do it). Mostly, the hardest part for me was the last floor. But then I read on internet you could get rid of the poison by drinking in fountains and this permitted me to finally overcome that! It seems to me this feature isn't well explained in the game, or did I miss something?

uneven slate Aug 12, 2020, 12:41 PM

#

You're sort of supposed to figure that out on your own as a player. The mandrake pools will emit light that attracts you when the screen is clouded with poison, and standing next to them will show [button prompt] CURE even outside of battle. Still, from the perspective of a new player, Zagreus' voicelines offer little to explain this mechanic. He says "need a cure" instead of "need a mandrake", for example. If you think he should be more obvious, perhaps leave a feedback?

cerulean drum Aug 12, 2020, 12:52 PM

#

For me I kinda figured it out because it did nothing when I drank it normally, then understood the first time I got poisoned

#

But yeah it isn't really in-your-face about it

spring canyon Aug 12, 2020, 12:55 PM

#

I thought the "Cure" prompt meant more like "Cure wounds" and stuck to that in my mind... And since it did nothing I thought it was just a troll lol...
You are right, I should leave this as feedback.

leaden whale Aug 13, 2020, 6:47 AM

You need to have || unlocked every weapon with keys ||

Really? Cause when I first unlocked f very weapon it wasn't there and it wasn't until a run or two later (after the second time I'd beaten meg) that tho option showed up.

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 6:23 AM

That makes sense, most things require a run to update

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

how can I optimize my build in the best way? I think the weapons I'm the most efficient with for the moment are the sword and the shield

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

the sword probably wants duo boons
the best build I've gotten in a new file is Ares attack, athena special and dash, and true shot, with merciful end and deadly reversal

#

anything with hunter's dash and a lot of damage is also good

#

e.g. aphro or artemis attack

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

@tepid vale thanks for the tips, what is e.g. ? sorry i'm not a native english speaker

stoic zephyr Aug 14, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

pretty much just an abbreviation that means "for example"

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

okay thanks ^^ sorry for the dumb question haha

stoic zephyr Aug 14, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

not dumb at all! no problem

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

I don't know what true shot, mercifuel end and deadly reversal are, these are god boons aswell?

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

true shot is artemis's cast

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

oh right I seee

#

guess I should put the game in english, would be easier to find good tips about boons and builds

#

I was wondering, I got my relation with charon maxed out but I didn't see what it actually does, is it some kind of true ending stuff?

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

merciful end and deadly reversal are duo boons

#

powerful effects that require you to have specific boons from multiple gods

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

duo boons looks really good from what i've seen

#

there's a special thing to do to get em or is it random?

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

with the core boons I listed, you can get both of them

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

Re: Charon: || unfortunately, nope. Most of the relationships don't have a mechanical change for maxing them out—though some of them do, and you'll get story rewards from all of them ||

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

thank you Swan

#

Story in the codex didn't change that much tho

#

it seems*

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

duos have specific prerequisites, and once you fill them it's just random whether you get them

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

For Duo boons, they require you to have one (sometimes a specific one) of each God's boon

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

oooà right

#

cause I just had demeter + athena

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Ooh, that's a good one

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

And I realised that I have demeter and athena

#

actually playing the "rifle"

#

since I had the darkness buff on it

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

Makes sense

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

I love the athena dash

#

Feels really good when you're a beginner

#

struggling to dodge heavy stuff

#

I got a run where I got to try the weapon modifier that gives you 3 grenades instead of 1

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

I love that one xD

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Feels really good when you're a beginner
@sleek wigeon it'll feel good forever

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

Gotta say it was really fun, those buffs are random too or there is some kind of way to trigger them as

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Yup, they're random

#

But, you're guaranteed to get a couple

#

By the end of the entire run

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:27 PM

#

Okay

#

I really want to end a run ;_;

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

You'll get there!

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

The more I play the game the more I love it but I feel like i'll never beat the last boss

#

Everytime I get crushed like, worst than the last one

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

you can actually usually avoid hammers, if you want to
and I personally have gone entire runs with only one hammer when I wanted to have two

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:29 PM

#

^also true, I should clarify: You're guaranteed to be offered a couple

#

Rocket is one of my favorites

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

yeah I feel like special is the way to go on the gun

#

right?

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

Depends on your build, I've had an attack build that melted everything, even the final boss

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

thanks for helping by the way, this community is as good as the game

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

you'll win if you keep trying at it
once you learn the timing for the final boss's movesets it gets easier, and you're guaranteed to eventually get a broken build if you just try new stuff

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

My last run was like a crazy attack spear build where you can't channel your attack

#

but you attack like a damn flash dude

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

Ooh, nice

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:31 PM

#

Was fun all along the run but I actually tickled the last boss

#

And since I was using dionysos on dash

#

I couldn't see the damn white circles around him

#

I love how the story keeps going on when you die and retry, but it seems the game also gets harder right? Like I got a ||rat encounter|| at some point that was litterally more dangerous than mr blondie and his bullbuddy

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:37 PM

#

Those are randomized, actually

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Like when you meet the bull alone?

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Yup

#

Minibosses are random each run

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

Ok
about the gifts you can make to the different characters, they give you a relic only on the first one?

#

So I don't waste any juice

#

Wanted to make Dusa happy but if it's worthless I'd rather use them for trading

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

For some characters, you'll get more rewards down the line

#

And you'll learn more about the story from every character

my personnal favorite so far is the poseidon call

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

dio's call is the best dps, but zeus is also very good

#

poseidon is mediocre damage, but the invincibility makes it worthwile

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

so now that I have divine dash and brilliant riposte I should get a last boon that gives tankyness?

#

talked about litteraly invincibility 😄

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:50 PM

But yeah, go for any Athena boons you see

Does the last one affects poison ? I guess not

That's fine lol, last one there is good

#

Uhh

Kinda

#

Some poison is from a trap, some is from an enemy

#

Not sure exactly how it works out, but it does help

uneven slate Aug 14, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

The gas traps in the satyr tunnels are affected, but the satyr/rat poison isn't

tepid vale Aug 14, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

athena boons in minibosses are your best chance to see it

#

duo boons are also more likely in miniboss chambers

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

I still remember the first time I got one of those, was so cool

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

yeah I really got surprised by the duo boon

#

The duo dialogue was on point

#

The story and dialogues in general are pretty much insanely good

especially for a rogue like game

and even more for a hack n slash i'd say

uneven slate Aug 14, 2020, 9:19 PM

Stack isn't the right word. It will create a shield with a short duration after getting damaged, and has a separate cooldown.

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

Okaaay so I have 2 instances of shield at once?

#

but one has a longer cooldown than the other

uneven slate Aug 14, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

While you do get more invincibility that way, it works like this: First damage removes Athena's shield. Second damage hits you, and puts Patty's shield up for a short time. It will vanish on its own.

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

oooh yeah Got it

#

it's not a shield

uneven slate Aug 14, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

hmm, generally shield is consistently good

#

and no worries!

#

yeah frommy own experience I'm best with the build for the moment

#

shield sorry

#

ye

#

do you have the chaos aspect?

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

No I only got the chaos aspect on the sword

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

and you don't have enough blood to max out the chaos shield, so that's a no go. Still, regular shield is solid

I realised what the titan blood is used for like 3 days ago lol

#

go for something like Aphrodite or Artemis attack, Athena special and/or dash

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

I love the fists too

#

Really fun weapon but I often attack too much

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

they're also good, just can be a bit harder

Zeus attack is stellar on those, plus Artemis dash (and hopefully support fire)

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

and I can't dodge/dash because of it

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

yeah

sleek wigeon Aug 14, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

yeah I actually tried it out like 2hours ago

#

zeus attack on fists

#

seemed like a good idea because of high attack speed

#

I don't really get what the rarity does

#

it makes the stats better on boons ?

#

like I got this one, it's like +4 dmg than the regular one, right?

#

doesn't seem that much of a deal

ornate remnant Aug 14, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

rarity increases stats, yeah

#

+4 damage adds up
