tepid vale
why are you playing if you're bored?
honestly just take a short break and come back when you feel like you need some Hades
It's more fun if you take breaks anyways
formal rover
this... might be why i'm not winning
loud adder
@tepid vale it's not that game is wearing me out. It's just my attitude towards its combat aspects. I just love the boon mechanic so much that I kinda "forgive" everything else
dawn berry
iirc Eule was someone who just kept adding one ||heat for rewards||, that grind really gets boring actually
formal rover
i mean, i'm absolutely not bored, but my brain is lazy and tunes out regardless
loud adder
It's not exactly grind for me though, I play like one run a day tops. That kind of incremental increase is fine with me.
dawn berry
then i guess it's alright
my 'grind' was like around 4 runs a day
the first 2-3 are fine
loud adder
It's also good because I still in this state of anticipation for ||higher heat|| so I have lots of frustration things to look forward to.
dawn berry
best to take it slow and not exhaust all the dialogue like I have before 1.0 
formal rover
man its gonna be so neat when there's new dialogue
dawn berry
i think it'll be all over the place and i kinda wanna start a new file for the dialogue
formal rover
the story/characters are what made me put time into the game; i think now i'm just running on momentum
dawn berry
and I'll do all the gameplay related stuff on my current file maybe
formal rover
i honestly can't decide whether to start over or not at this point
yeah same i'll probably end up doing both

||https://i.imgur.com/vl8FMhg.png Hey guys random possibly noob question from soneone who hasn't played since many many updates ago... Do the shiny auras/indications on the rightmost doors mean anything special, or is it just because they have a miniboss?||
dull perch
Hi I just started hades
what is the purpose of keepsakes?
I noticed some npcs give them to me
vivid crane
You can equip one and each will give you special effects and can be leveled up to increase its potency
sly vigil
Erm all of them.
I can give you my personal fav which is Hera Bow, fists, and Hades Spear, and Nemesis Sword
or you can look at this very subjective tier list: ||https://i.imgur.com/yh7mIPP.png||
sly vigil
Meagara skill sets include:
- If she lowers herself, she might lunge forward, just get out of her way, but don't approach right after she is done because:
- After the lunge she will likely do an AOE whip twirl, just stay away
You window is right after she is done twirling
In the second and third phase she will also do a bullet hell spam. My advice is to keep some distance to have an easier time dodging the bullets.
Again, after this you have a window to attack.
As for the minions, I usually just ignore them.
If you have Deflect (Athena Boon) on Attack or Dash, you can cheese the bullet hell spam by just redirecting the bullets back to her.
unborn hornet
I think jumping around between all available weapons is a reasonable approach
Get comfortable with all of em and diversify your play styles
I tend to grab whichever one has its Dark Thirst active unless I really feel like trying a different weapon
As far as ease of use though, Aegis is pretty simple to do good things with, and can be more forgiving than Stygius with its block mechanic
Kinda same with keepsakes, it's good to use a variety of them to get them powered up, by which point you'll probably be able to make a more informed decision as to which ones might help your run
patent cedar
||There's also a prophecy for using all keepsakes||
unborn hornet
A pattern I've noticed that's persisted for all 57 hours of my current playtime is that most things that sound questionably useful actually turn out to be pretty nice in practice
silk hearth
Agreed. ||Trying to complete all the god boon prophecies has opened my eyes to so many more viable builds.||
patent cedar
I am so hopeless at fishing
unborn hornet
I wait with my finger on the W key, one key over from my action key
Don't watch the bobber too closely; wait for the distinctive flash and the clash noise that indicates you got a bite
don't overthink it, basically, the window isn't THAT tight
Sometimes it helps me to watch the space above the bobber, rather than the bobber itself, since the flash effect reaches up there
patent cedar
So watch above the bobber, not on it
I'll try it with the next fish i get
To be fair I could technically practice with animal crossing but the timing is still difficult
obsidian locust
Or just get a controller and use the vibrations for easy win 
silk hearth
You can also listen to the sound.
dull perch
||woo I beat megaera for the first time!||
patent cedar
Congrats
dull perch
I used spear with zeus and posiden boons
patent cedar
The fight will be far easier from here on out
obsidian locust
Congrats 🎉 🎊
unborn hornet
fire indeed hot!
There is a brief grace period where the magma will slow you down but will not immediately start damaging you
Mind your positioning and don't dodge for no reason and you'll minimize the amount of lava baths you take
dull perch
does posiden not have an attack modifier?
formal rover
he does
main coral
all gods besides hermes have an attack boon that adds something (usually damage)
main coral
most gods give +% damage plus something special
ebon kelp
@sly vigil I def disagree on your tier list.
I'd put every bow below any shield.
Also the baseline shield is pretty good for new players because the block option makes many of the boss fights and some enemies easier (flame wheels)
sly vigil
Well you are not the only one. That's why I put the disclaimer very subjective tier list
I have yet to see a tier list (by me or anyone else) that draws a consensus. We can agree to disagree.
sly vigil
That would be me. What's up?
formal rover
i mained it for ages but then they added fists to the game
sly vigil
Which bow?
formal rover
trying again more recently, i apparently cannot run it with ||heat|| lol
ember citrus
any of them really
sly vigil
In general, you should always dash strike.
formal rover
even with ||rama?||
sly vigil
Technically yes.
Although that won't be new player territory
I'll just assume my Zag bow, one of my fav
With bow you should look for hammers. Good ones are Triple Twin Chain Shot. Zag Bow Special is underwhelming, I would not build around it.
Artemis is your best friend (very fitting thematically)
Hunter Dash and Deadly Strike.
ember citrus
so you would recommend Zag bow?
bold apex
Do not pass up Hunter's Dash, no matter what you do. You see an Epic Special against a common Hunter's Dash? You take the Hunter's Dash. Heroic Cast against a common Hunter's Dash? You take the Hunter's Dash
formal rover
i was trying for heartbreak flourish the other day, my theory being deadly strike+heartbreak flourish -> heart rend, is that not worth it? better to just ignore the special?
sly vigil
so you would recommend Zag bow?
Anybow is good. I like Zag Bow since it's the bowiest of bows
But Hera is also good, although the playstyle is different.
Museus is really good. He can give you advice because me sleepy :D Good luck!
bold apex
One issue with bow is that the special take a long time to recover from. So Heart Rend could be good with it, but you're probably better off applying it with Cast, imo
Hera is the new 'meta' bow, but it does have an extremely different playstyle, and there are a few bugs/weird interactions you have to play around
bold apex
You want to dash-strike, and power shot as frequently as possible. The charge up time is shorter, but your damage is also lower, so you need to power shot to get that extra damage back
bold apex
On what bow?
ember citrus
Zag bow
bold apex
I like Perfect Shot. Explosive shot is more damage, but it makes you stand still longer, so you'll get hit more
Honestly
All of them are great
ember citrus
i see
bold apex
Charged Volley is the only thing that makes Zag Bow Special playable, in my opinion
Perfect Shot is a good way to learn the timing for power shots, with a bit of leeway. But Explosive Shot and Charged Volley are your more damaging hammers.
ember citrus
Thanks you
unborn hornet
I often end up combining power shot and perfect shot
lean geyser
Oh boy that channel description is on point anyone got some general tips against the second round of heads during the hydra fight? no matter the weapon or build i have it always comes down to ''and now the screen is filled with attacks and i have nowhere to go''
formal rover
You want to focus fire hard, and work your way down the line from one end.
Your goal is to take out one or two at one side of the room as fast as possible so that you have a place to retreat to. If you focus on dodging the whole place will be filled with projectiles pretty quickly, and that's a war of attrition you probably won't win, but if you can take out a couple the area starts to clear and the tables will turn pretty fast.
Generally, I'd say don't be afraid to take a hit or two when going after the the first few; if you can get rid of them early on then you can switch to playing more defensively and you'll save more hp in the latter end of the fight than you lost.
The other thing is watch out for when two or three heads move close together; if you have decent aoe you potentially take out more than one at once
patent cedar
It also helps if you learn which heads use which attack
There are some heads which can limit where you can move to for safety, and some that will force you to move or get hit
Focusing on 1 or 2 heads at a time is a very effective strat, I tend to do this for the ones that limit movement space
formal rover
The other thing is grabbing some deflection if you can. Athena boons on either attack or dash (or both) help a great deal if you're overwhelmed by lots of shots. Another option is to get Athena's Aid, let it build up to greater call then drop it as soon as that second round of heads spawn in; try and take out as many as you can with the invincibility up
patent cedar
Yeah Athena's deflect boons are really useful
I prefer Ares' Aid but that's just because I'm impervious as well as dealing a fair bit of damage by just sitting there
patent cedar
Yeah and passive deflection is really useful when there's a lot going on
formal rover
Yeah I used to go for Ares but I've shifted to preferring Athena fairly recently. It has a longer duration, and if you have a good build the damage is actually higher as you can still use your attacks (not to mention a bunch of free damage from deflection)
I still take Ares sometimes tho
loud adder
@lean geyser Unless you already know this, pay attention to where the heads will spawn during that split-second window when lava starts bursting in certain places indicating where the heads will pop up. That will give you just a little bit of an idea to where you should be hanging around for the next 10 seconds.
patent cedar
I can see that being useful, especially since I like using Dionysus' special on Zeus aspect and I can just spamming that
I recently had a run where I had Ares' cast and call and Athena's special
Just sending beyblades literally everywhere
formal rover
beyblades for everyone ❤️
patent cedar
I also had the boon which let me deal more and take less damage when I had no bloodstones so
I pretty much had to use all of my cast beyblades
loud adder
I wish zeus aspect worked like beyblade
loud adder
Imagine if zeus aspect worked 
lean geyser
Finally managed to clear it with the gun weapon with Poseidon's special and the Dedalus Hammer that gives you 3 shots of the special just nuke and move since the heads didn't realty move around
loud adder
congratulations
patent cedar
Nice work
formal rover
oh yeah triple bomb is a solid hammer
patent cedar
I don't think I've seen that one yet, but I know my boyfriend loves the rocket
formal rover
Imagine if zeus aspect worked
the secret is to take zeus boons
just like, all of them
patent cedar
Between that and me not using Exagryph much, I don't think I'll get to see it
Thunder flourish should work really well with it for sure
But I prefer drunken flourish because
Well who doesn't like getting their enemies absolutely hammered
patent cedar
It's sad that there's a cap of 5 stacks on it but it's still good
I'll try Zeus next time though
formal rover
the zeus build is amazing but it was starting to get old after i got a few wins
patent cedar
And if I can get Hermes to speed up my special, that should increase the hit rate right?
formal rover
i think so
the main thing you want to do is try to get zeus' legendary, splitting bolt
patent cedar
Oh yeah
That seems to be pretty common ironically
Meanwhile I want to try catching a decent fish for once but Poseidon's being stingy
formal rover
that'll require you to get thunder flourish, then either Double Strike, High Voltage or Storm Lightning
loud adder
the secret is to take zeus boons
just like, all of them
that makes sense, but I still don't believe it
candid nimbus
Legendary boons exist?
loud adder
yes
formal rover
i didn't believe it either until i shredded hades with it lol
candid nimbus
RNG is against me of course.
patent cedar
Well, for me anyway
loud adder
why don't we have any hammers for zeus aspect 😦
patent cedar
I haven't looked at the requirements for them except for Poseidon's fishing one
I mean
Empowering flight is pretty good
I think that's the one anyway
Special hits and your next 2 attacks have increased damage
formal rover
does that work for every hit of the blitz disk?
patent cedar
It should do
formal rover
i feel like i've actually tried it but i can't remember how it panned out
patent cedar
I don't think the 2 attacks stack every time it hits but you basically should have a constant 80% increase to attacks
formal rover
yeah
loud adder
Well it's still default upgrades that just increase damage.
patent cedar
Made even better by Zeus aspect though
loud adder
I meant something along the lines of increasing disc's radius or turning it into smth else completely
candid nimbus
Would be nice
dull perch
What is titans blood for? I have 2 from beating megeara so far
loud adder
it's for upgrading weapons
loud adder
you have to click on a weapon a second time after choosing one.
candid nimbus
The titan blood sink opens up ||after unlocking all weapons if I recall||
loud adder
yes
leaden whale
Also where do I get more titan blood after beating the furies with all weapons? I've spent it all in two weapons and now I have none
faint umbra
You need to ||beat the final boss||
patent cedar
Yeah just keep trying to get through the game and you'll find more
leaden whale
oh 
I'm trying not to do it until the game is finally released, so it's gonna be a while
patent cedar
Ah
I think there will be some things after the end of the game that will be removed once the game is finished?
So if you wait until then you will likely be missing out on some stuff
leaden whale
really?? can you give me some vague examples?
unborn hornet
I mean, the game is a roguelite, it's designed to be beaten dozens of times
formal rover
there's some amusing dialogue lines, basically
they're pretty fun, but you wouldn't be missing actual story or anything
unborn hornet
The only thing I can think of that you'd be super missing out on is how the game frames its unfinished state
patent cedar
Yeah it's nothing major but I find it amusing
obsidian locust
It might still be in the game but thats just my theory
lavish gazelle
there was also talk about new endgame systems, not sure if this means the current heat system is going to be reworked or if it's strictly an addition to what we have
sly vigil
Didn't that happen already? When heat went from 120 something to the ones we have now?
lavish gazelle
in the noclip documentary they were talking about this as a 1.0 thing
sly vigil
I see thanks.
proven sparrow
I have all the weapons but the titans blood isn't usable for me
strong prawn
I can't unlock Rama. I've unlocked all other 4th aspects.
dull perch
is there a tier list for daedelus boons for spear?
Im liking spear the most of all weps I have
so far
unborn hornet
Woah, I unlocked the hidden bow aspect just yesterday
||Artemis gave me the waking phrase on a run when I wasn't using it, after I had brought the hidden spear aspect to the surface||
proven sparrow
what do you think about flurry strike?
sly vigil
Flurry Strike is outshined by Serrated Point
dull perch
which god pairs well with spear? Been trying zeus but i struggle in asphodel
strong prawn
Well, I've unlocked all weapons except Rama..., I was spamming Atemis' trinket all the day.
Still can't get it.
I'm so sad
ember citrus
Athena dash go well with... everything 
sly vigil
So if you want Special focus build:
Explosive/Charged Skewer with Aphrodite/Artemis special
If you want attack focus build:
Serrated Point with Hunter Dash and Aphro/Arty/Demeter attack
Of course it's hard to force builds in a roguelite game, but tentatively that should be what you aim for.
spare marsh
It's what you should grab if it happens to go your way.
But other stuff can be fun too.
A spin build can be nice, especially with Hades aspect.
candid nimbus
The sisters were ordered to take a crack at ya
ember citrus
Because it add the fun 
dull perch
TT more complicated
ember citrus
It will get old fighting the same boss run after run, especially the first boss
So they mix it up a bit
unborn hornet
Only a bit! Tisiphone is a scary lass but you can learn her attack patterns just like with Meg, and I'm usually able to just outdamage Alecto
Tisiphone also does not summon adds like the other two do so you only gotta deal with her attacks
ember citrus
Yup, the core e mechanic of the 3 sisters is the same really
mint relic
tisiphone is a cakewalk with athena
formal rover
honestly meg is solidly the hardest imo
mint relic
I think Alecto is hardest
dull perch
do I actually need deflect
for the witches in asphodel?
im not sure how Im meant to dodge all these balls
lyric forge
Nah, they are doable without. Having some Deflect just makes it much, much easier.
You're probably eating a ball or two here and there without it.
patent cedar
Witches circle to me isn't annoyong because of the bullet hell, but because 80% of the time they're right above the lava
sly vigil
im not sure how Im meant to dodge all these balls
Dash a lot.
Learning dash i frames is huge in improving gameplay (at least for me)
Or just facetank the projectiles if you have enough damage
formal rover
they’re also not that tough, and once you take out a couple it becomes much easier
the trap is being too defensive imo
or at least it is for me
dawn berry
best is use pillars
ember citrus
Is magma consider trap?
sly vigil
Yes
mint relic
Athena special on coronacht absolutely obliterates witches circle
it's like the easiest Asphodel fight
ornate remnant
Yup
Quit the game without going into another room
It'll revert to when you entered that room
@dull perch
ornate remnant
Oofie. Sorry xD
ornate remnant
Oh wait
You already started the run, but did you leave the courtyard before going back in and starting the run?
dull perch
his bedroom?
ornate remnant
Yeah, did you go into his bedroom, or did you start a run?
ornate remnant
Hit give up, it'll revert to when you entered the courtyard (weapon room)
dull perch
oh nice
ornate remnant
Ye
sly vigil
and you just learned how to save scum in Hades.
ornate remnant
XD
proven sparrow
dash attacks benefit from things like heartseeker strike right?
proven sparrow
alright tyty
unborn hornet
So, Hermes' Swift Strike boon that boosts attack speed - does that remove the damage buff from shattered shackle?
sly vigil
No.
So you can get Hunter Dash + nothing on Attack (plus Shackle) and still have both effects on Dash Strike.
unborn hornet
Sick
unborn hornet
Okay, wait, just to be clear: there's nothing to be gained by gifting nectar to people you've already gotten keepsakes from right
loud adder
only dialogue
unborn hornet
But like just incidental dialog, nothing that contributes to anything that develops over multiple runs
Rite
loud adder
I have 150+ hours and don't remember seeing much development related to gifts past keepsakes. Maybe some events actually triggered only when reaching a certain level of affinity, but I can't say for sure. I just kept giving everybody nectars and ambrosia until they couldn't take them anymore
pulsar frigate
there are story events tied to every characters’ hearts
spare marsh
There are specific characters who give you something extra at full hearts.
But otherwise, yeah.
unborn hornet
But does gifting extra nectar affect their hearts
Cuz I've been using nectar exclusively for trading for diamonds and stuff and haven't gifted anyone more than once
spare marsh
Nectar gives hearts.
unborn hornet
ahuh
so THAT'S why I feel like most of my dialog has been stagnant for the past 50 runs
Makes sense
main coral

Hahahaha
loud adder

The amount of times I've slammed my face against a wall frantically trying to slurp at the well is too high.

Only just now realizing how Hades is the only one whose "Gift" interaction option ||goes away when you do it once||
ornate remnant
|| look in the Codex ||
unborn hornet
Yeah, so hot tip for new players, don't be a total spanner like me, it's okay to give nectar to your friends after the first time, gosh I don't know why I ever thought that was the case lol
patent cedar
Gotta give away all the nectars
dim spindle
question, i have done 6 or 7 runs onw. My bow says "+2-%" to the purple currency
is that normal or is that the game encouraging me to pick up that weapon?
20%**
dim spindle
to encourage variety?
spare marsh
To help you farm, to encourage variety, to give people a 'randomize' option.
dim spindle
ahh
thank you
Does gifting nectar to characters expand what boons can be granted by them?
spare marsh
Nope.
dim spindle
just story/dialogue then?
worthy raven
Does gifting nectar to characters expand what boons can be granted by them?
@dim spindle If you've given certain characters enough nectar, you will be able to gift them the Ambrosia you get from clearing Elysium and receive a surprise.
rocky sigil
@dim spindle no all boons are available at the beginning. Giving people nectar is the primary way of advancing the story and there is late game gameplay advancements rewarded for giving people nectar.
hasty saddle
Is it safe to start the story on PC now even though I plan on continuing the file on Switch? I would rather not restart.
ember citrus
they will not have cross platform at start
maybe toward the end of the year, but not at release, so it is up to yoi
prisma elbow
I've played for around 6 hours now, and I've yet to see a demeter boon. Are they more towards endgame or are they really rare?
rain elk
you only get her after beating the final boss once
prisma elbow
Oh, I see. It's weird that the wiki doesn't mention it
pastel cipher
Nah, you need to ||reach the surface once, the outcome of the final boss fight isn't relevent||
rain elk
oh fair enough, i got lucky and beat it first try so i assumed that was it
ember citrus
The wiki is slightly outdated i think
patent cedar
Is it possible to get huge catch at the start of a run?
It happened once or was that just to give me the prophecy?
faint umbra
That is a scripted event, but usually it has 2 prerequisite boons (sunken treasure and oceans bounty)
patent cedar
Yeah I got them just before the third boss fight and proceeded to get given the boon in the Styx
pastel cipher
That is a better question for #h1-story-discussion @fervent steeple won't have to worry about spoiler tags there either
fervent steeple
Ah my apologies! I'll remove that post
unborn ledge
Oh my there's a way to view boons. is that taught somewhere in-game?
loud adder
You can view your current boons with B on keyboard and "back" button on Xbox controller
rocky sigil
There no encyclopedia of boons in the game, no. There should be though
tepid vale
Oh my there's a way to view boons. is that taught somewhere in-game?
@unborn ledge yeah, it's shown on your very first run
"B" or "<" (back) depending on control set up
-press [the button] to view boons
pops up as an objective
unborn ledge
Gotcha. That didn't seem that long ago. Thanks, y'all
That is what I meant, although an encyclopedia of collected boons would be interesting
rocky sigil
There aren't THAT many boons. Like there's about a dozen per god, but there's a ton of ||duo|| boons. and altogether there are maybe like, 150ish boons. There's an extremely popular mod that lets you apply any boon you want to zagreus so you can do damage testing easily.
regal halo
what does "Fountain Chamber, Tartarus" contract do ?
main coral
adds a random chance you'll get a healing room in tartarus
rocky sigil
Sometimes you'll now be able to enter a room with no enemies and a fountain that will heal you. It's a big respite on a run!
tepid vale
and it's free!
patent cedar
And very useful if you happen to have the boon strong drink >.>
leaden whale
I love that boon so much I always roll Dio keepsake for a region to try and get it
silk hearth
I thought that boon was garbage until I realized that the fountains in the transitional chambers between biomes count towards it. Now I'm a big fan as well.
patent cedar
YEah
I try to go every run with it, which is probably a problem but I can't do the last region on low health - just, nope
silk hearth
I get super reckless at the end of each region when I have that boon because I know it'll heal me up right after.
patent cedar
Yeah same
But I'm getting on with higher heat where I'm not used to the challenges so I just end up losing a death defiance or two by the end of the third boss

I am assuming by rank you mean keepsake rank. With each rank your keepsake will be more powerful via stats bump. Max rank 3.
regal halo
formal rover
oh that refers to how many times you’ve upgraded it
regal halo
oh im dumb then
formal rover
so if you spend darkness on boiling blood once, you get +10% damage, twice you get +20% etc.
no worries

||Legendary hidden keepsake: use amounts increase||

Alright
quartz current
How would you build the Bow? What's there to focus on?
I'm on my 20s escape attempt and made it 3 times to the surface, haven't fully beating the boss though, so spoiler-free would be appreciated
formal rover
i'm not the best with the bow myself, but main thrust is to focus on dash attacking
try to get into a rhythm of doing dash power shots, then stack dash attack damage as much as you can. Artemis dash is almost a must, and you want either Aphro or Arty on your attack as those add the biggest % bonuses (which is great for bow as it has high base damage)
anytime chaos offers you +% dash take it as well
quartz current
Sounds about right
I feel like Deflect on the Special is kind of a must
Or it's good, lets put it that way
formal rover
explosive shot and twin shot hammers are both amazing
chain is also pretty good
yeah a lot of people like deflection on the special
quartz current
What about Doom?
formal rover
i don't mind doom on the special yeah
i don't think it works that well on attack tho
formal rover
np
another thing that can be fun after getting arty on attack is aphro on either special or cast, then try to get the aphro/arty duo boon, Heart Rend
can be a big damage boost
quartz current
What do you need to do to get the duos offered frequently
They just started to show up on my last 2 attempts
I guess I'm at the 15th or so, then
formal rover
they have prerequisites
dawn berry
Firstly learn the prerequisite boons from either god
formal rover
so Heart Rend requires a crit chance, and a way of inflicting weakness before it will turn up
dawn berry
pressure points doesnt work tho
Also some duos need very specific boons so just keep the wiki up if youre going duo hunting
formal rover
yeah it has to be a core boon iirc
at least for Heart Rend
so the aphro revenge one doesn't count either
quartz current
I'll do so eventually, I'm still in the discovery phase
dawn berry
there's also the mirror talent, and also not taking any god except for the two you want
quartz current
It's working out really well so far, I've been making it to Styx every time for the last 5 attempts
I'll keep that in mind, ty
quartz current
It's a fantastic game
formal rover
agreed
pastel cipher
you can only ever have one keepsake equipped at one time if that's what you mean

yup

that's also good!

There is || a way to swap them mid-run, between regions ||
spiral sage
wonder if there's any secrets i havent unlocked yet
ornate remnant
probably :P
spiral sage
i cleared the game once on god mode but im going in again cuz there's so manythings i wanna do
any priorities???
spiral sage
are contractor stuff worth.... ive been focusing only on mirror
ornate remnant
the Work Orders are, for the most part, very useful
quartz current
Without spoiling it, is it worth it to keep giving gifts to someone? The Nectar, that is, I know you don't get a keepsake again after the first time, but do you get additional interesting dialog or smth?
dawn berry
Yes
unborn hornet
Yeah, so hot tip for new players, don't be a total spanner like me, it's okay to give nectar to your friends after the first time, gosh I don't know why I ever thought that was the case lol
Quote from me learning how to get hearts with people after ignoring the "Gift" prompt for 50 hours

More than just dialog sometime
patent cedar
do doom effects stack, or can only one be applied at a time?
ember citrus
Yes and no
Nornal doom, no
There is a boon that allow doom to stack, but only up the damage a bit
patent cedar
Dire misfortune?
Oh wait
Does it make it so that each stack you apply after the first increases the damage by the small amount?
ember citrus
yes it is
pulsar wharf
Quick question, please no spoilers! Hades is a rogue like right? Is it more like Gungeon and Dead Cells where you can get permanent upgrades? Or is it more like Risk of Rain where you don't have permanent upgrades?
pulsar frigate
the former
pulsar wharf
Thanks!
pulsar frigate
there's a main progression system involved!
sullen ridge
What you are looking for is rougelike vs rougelite. Permanent progression refers to a roguelite.
brave fog
Do you still only gain access to the other weapons after beating the game for the first time?
sly vigil
In short, no. Long answer contains mild spoiler, unless you want that.
tepid vale
it's never been locked behind beating the game 
sly vigil
jeez Lysol, thought you were someone else

Are deaths similar to souls game ??? As in you lost all progress and items ?
narrow rapids
i will get around to this game in a few years lul
tepid vale
Are deaths similar to souls game ??? As in you lost all progress and items ?
@gleaming shard no, deaths are how you progress
gleaming shard
As of now I am enjoying remnant from ashes
@gleaming shard no, deaths are how you progress
@tepid vale As in ?
narrow rapids
that's an interesting mechanic
brave fog
Well I guess that's the issue, the progression for beginning the game was always weird. I'm a veteran but you can spoiler tag your answer. I had no access to other weapons till I beat the game like back in March.
tepid vale
like, you should probably die at least a dozen times before you ever win
probably several dozen
gleaming shard
Thats a new level of game design
tepid vale
you get stronger by spending meta resources after you die
gleaming shard
The game is still in early access ??? What is Version 1 ?
tepid vale
the game is no longer in early access
sly vigil
It's no longer in EA @gleaming shard. It's out in its entirety. Don't mind the Epic thumbnail.
tepid vale
@cyan orbit that's user error, hardware problems or, (extremely unlikely,) a bug
sly vigil
No.
sly vigil
The game has a buffer system, if you hit Attack + Dash at the same time, the game will take that as a Dash Strike. But that still requires an Attack input.
in that sense, then yes
buffer system is what you experienced.
tepid vale
you can't cancel with a dash
restive spoke
Does dash have i frames
tepid vale
it just changes where your attack comes out
sly vigil
@restive spoke Yes, if it's pure dash
tepid vale
Does dash have i frames
@restive spoke only if you don't attack during your dash
restive spoke
If anyone has the game on switch, hows the frame rate?
sly vigil
if you dash + attack, you lose i frames
sly vigil
guess that just means i spam attack less now
@cyan orbit or you can abuse it 😉
||https://youtu.be/3vWaNZoIwSE?t=291|| shameless plug on what abusing the buffer system looks like. (mid spoiler for 1st boss). stop watching if you don't want that 😄
yup
yes
yes, but aim assist doesn't work for melee weapons so that should not matter here. I'm happy to gives some tips (it's fairly easy).
just mash your attack and dash at the same time. the hard part is controlling where you dash. you have as many attack in the combo as you have dashes. so let's say you have 2 dashes, do Attack + Dash at the same time x2 in quick succession.
you can use special to cover yourself between the dash cd. just try it out on Skelly, it works on both sword and spear.
yeah
hope this helps!
gleaming shard
No online co op right ?

No

What are the currencies in this game
I keep getting stuff that I don’t know what it does
sly vigil
just keep playing. all will be revealed in due time
abstract pilot
Hey y'all. I just bought the game (on mobile, still at work unfortunately).
I'm curious what the consensus is between KBM vs Controller? I have read a few forum posts and folks seem split on it. Analog movement better on controller but aim better on KBM. Anyone know what the devs may have intended?
sly vigil
from what I have seen, it does not matter. but in game, there is a suggestion box to play on controller.
having played on both, I also think it doesn't matter. I have a controller and I like sitting on a couch
pastel cipher
Try both and use the one you're most comfy with
sly vigil
so controller for now
abstract pilot
Oh! I didn't realize there was a "best experienced with a controller" screen, guess I should have booted it up before asking lol. A lot of the posts I read are old since the games been in EA for a while. Thanks!
I'll probably start off with a controller since that's how I played bastion and transistor
mint relic
controller + mouse
sly vigil
the real chad move
mint relic
smooth movement + good aim
restive spoke
smooth movement + good aim
@mint relic have u seen those weird keyboard where it’s the shape of a glove? U use thumb for 360 movement and other four fingers for keys
U use a mouse for the other hand
It’s honestly crazily good
tepid vale
or just

restive spoke
That works too xD but you have two button presses on ur left hand
Three if u count stick
tepid vale
it's okay
just have a mouse with at least four buttons and you're good
tepid vale
no
that's the crappy one that I complain about every time I go anywhere and can't play Hades
restive spoke
Guys what are the four icons on the left of my screen
ember citrus
when you are in a run?
that would be your Main boons
the one directly power up your moves
restive spoke
Yea boons
@ember citrus
Only the first one is light up
What about the next three
What do they represent in order?
restive spoke
Ah I see thanks
What does my cast do
I just throw out something?
Does it have any effects
ember citrus
you basic cast throw out a "blood stone"
at the beginning, it is only a damaging move
but you will get to "upgrade" it via the mirror
you get extra damage hiting enemy with a blood stone in it
restive spoke
Do I go for keys or darkness when I’m just starting out the game?
formal rover
plus boons can make casts do all kinds of crazy stuff
ember citrus
I say keys
sly vigil
you will need both, but keys route is more fun
fleet nymph
Hello! New to the game and excited to play it! Do you guys recommend kb&m or controller?
ember citrus
controller for me
sly vigil
It does not matter, I used to use both to equal effectiveness. But I now I use controller.
formal rover
it honestly seems to be a pretty even split, with solid reasons to go either way
mint relic
mouse and controller
ember citrus
i saw a guy do controller and mouse on the other channel
ember citrus
Real chad move
formal rover
tho ofc there is the mouse and controller crowd
fleet nymph
i saw a guy do controller and mouse on the other channel
@ember citrus What😂
formal rover
can’t forget them
fleet nymph
Alright cool
mint relic
you get smooth controller movement and good mouse aim
formal rover
yeah he’s put like 600 hours into this game so it’s hard to argue with his strats tbh
straight KBM for me tho
fleet nymph
I think I'll try controller for comfort
If I find that I'm having trouble with the aiming I'll try kbm
Thanks!
restive spoke
How many rooms are there
formal rover
i don’t think there is a way, other than counting
sly vigil
71 for me
formal rover
well, technically the number of rooms can vary, yeah
i think mine’s 71 as well, so prolly that
candid nimbus
I think you can hit B on keyboard to check boons and the room should be top right
formal rover
wait what
candid nimbus
Unless I have a special ability to check room # o.O
candid nimbus
It's quite nice for checking when boss is coming up xD
formal rover
yeah for sure
fleet nymph
For controller users, do you recommend aim assist?
sly vigil
yup
tepid vale
I recommend using a mouse
you have to rebind some buttons, but you absolutely can and should use a controller and a mouse
sly vigil
bruh
candid nimbus
I'm fine with my kb + mouse, I'm controller dumb
formal rover
honestly, you should rebind buttons on base KBM imho
i love SGG, but i find their decision to put special on Q baffling
tepid vale
q for special is kind of awful, yeah
fleet nymph
I do so on every game I play, especially due to extra mouse buttons
honestly, you should rebind buttons on base KBM imho
@formal rover
sly vigil
or putting reload on R3 xD
candid nimbus
Oh I should rebind my reload...
fleet nymph
or putting reload on R3 xD
@sly vigil I hate L3 and R3
tepid vale
careful
sly vigil
Reload to L1, Codex to R3, seriously, how many times do you access the Codex to warrant that.
formal rover
yeah mouse buttons are boss
tepid vale
the expletive filter can't catch contractions, but children can
formal rover
dunno how i survived without them tbh
tepid vale

yeah @fleet nymph if you could remove the swear from your comment that would be great
removing letters etc still counts as a swear

restive spoke
Are the mirror upgrades permanent
Or only for one run
Can I equip multiple talents at once
Or is it one talent only
sly vigil
Mirror upgrades are permanent, they can be equip all at once
(there is a flip side that you can use only one of each, however)
sly vigil
no, sadly
tepid vale
you can't have, for instance, fiery and shadow presence simultaneously
sly vigil
there are 6 of them
restive spoke
Oh
sly vigil
so if you have sword and spear, 4 more to go 😄
tepid vale
the one you have access to but haven't unlocked is the shield
the other two can be unlocked once you have it
restive spoke
Ah I see thx
Is there a way to see how many deaths I have
Like stats
Oops nvm I see
sly vigil
yeah, there are some upgrades that will provide a decent amount of meta information
the game has a lot of contents, just you wait 😄
restive spoke
Is there a way to manually save
sly vigil
no, at least not intended by the devs
it's a roguelite game. autosave is a feature, not a bug 😄
tepid vale
if the game says you can "quit" your progress is saved
restive spoke
Saved as in I’ll continue the run where I left off?
sly vigil
yes
restive spoke
Nice nice thank u
lyric vortex
guys
restive spoke
Are my boons active at all times?
lyric vortex
how do I unlock the lastest aspect of the launch patch
restive spoke
Even when they’re not displaying as one of the four icons?
sly vigil
yes
sly vigil
only the "core" boons will be displayed as the four icons, all the other buffs will be stored in the boon menu
restive spoke
I like the spear
only the "core" boons will be displayed as the four icons, all the other buffs will be stored in the boon menu
@sly vigil ah ok but all of em are active right?
Even the non core ones
sly vigil
yes. if you look, there is a little indicator for you to "select" stuff, it doesn't do anything. don't mind it. everything you gather along the way is always online, no question asked.
restive spoke
Yesssss I was gonna ask about it
sly vigil
(unless you sell them then duh, they are no longer active)
sly vigil
it's just so you can read the description, don't worry!
restive spoke
Basically
You get stronger as u get more boons
Correct?
And u eventually beat the game
sly vigil
yeah. have you played any roguelite games before?
sly vigil
same exact thing
restive spoke
Cool cool sounds good
sly vigil
I think you will really like the game
sly vigil
please check pins in #h1-story-discussion
formal summit
restive spoke
How many mirror talents can u equip at the same time?
sly vigil
All of them?
restive spoke
Nice
carmine rampart
Basically the whole mirror will be filled
sly vigil
Technically you have 2 sides for each talent. Only one side is active at a given time.
sly vigil
But you can have all the upgrades
restive spoke
If u have all the upgrades
carmine rampart
Let's just say you will need the upgrades
sly vigil
There are late game difficulty scaling options
restive spoke
You know the reward icon before u enter a room?
Sometimes it’s shining
Like rays of white light coming from it
Does it mean anything
sly vigil
Yup there should be a skull icon below that. It means the room is harder but the reward tends to be higher
You can get scammed by RNG, of course, but the reward is tentatively higher.
restive spoke
Ah I see
I’m having a hard time recognizing the reward icons
So many of them lol
sly vigil
Yeah. That you will get used to.
At least it's not like Isaac where you have no idea what an item even does until later.
restive spoke
And for that I am thankful
I hate it when roguelikes don’t tell me what stuff do before I purchase it
leaden whale
is there a page with all the upgrades and features, etc? kinda confused by everything
just so i know what everything does
cold garnet
so far you have the WIKI but the game change alot since v1.0 start
leaden whale
alright thank you
another question, sorry if its dumb (ive never played a dungeon crawler before), when i die and try again am i loosing progress or am i picking up where i left off?
sly vigil
Yeah, every roguelite is like this. You have "perma" death. Except you can grow a bit stronger with each death with some upgrades.
tropic umbra
Try to not stress about dying, death is a big part of game, you'll learn a lot more about what's going on in the house of hades on each death, and you'll learn more about the game itself.
Finishing the game only takes about an hour, so it's not that big of a deal if you die.
And yeah, you keep a couple of currencies that you collect during your run, so you'll be able to get stronger and upgrades a couples of things when you die.
tropic umbra
Np 😄
cold garnet
this game isnt just about finish, there are more and more behind it. Conversation with everyone, finding secret, doing fate,..
tropic umbra
Weapons to upgrade and unlock
tropic umbra
Enjoy, this game is a treat IMO.

How many enemy types are there in the game ?? I scrubbed through an hour long footage of a guy playing it, all I saw were Gin like figures on repeat
😦
sly vigil
4 biomes, each with at least 5-6 different enemies.
sly vigil
Gennie type?
bold apex
Thugs/Louts probably
gleaming shard
Or the biomes are random ?
Thugs/Louts probably
@bold apex Yes Pink like puffy ginnies
sly vigil
No. Biomes are fixed. And yeah, the gennies are only in first
Although thugs aren't pink

What the hell is hell mode
gleaming shard
I am speaking out of limited knowledge, planning to get the game
restive spoke
Should I start a fresh save with hell mode
viral rapids
sauce it's pain mode mang 😮
gleaming shard
Do we get shields ?
restive spoke
I can’t change it to hell mode if I’m in the save file??
viral rapids
yes hell mode is after you have beat normal mode and looking for a harder challenge
bold apex
You need to start a new file for Hell Mode, yes
restive spoke
What if I wanna play hell mode? I have to start a fresh save?
bold apex
It has base Heat enabled
sly vigil
@restive spoke nope. It's not worth it
restive spoke
So can I turn up the heat if I’m not in hell mode?
gleaming shard
How many weapons we get in total though ?
viral rapids
dang sauce you going in wild XD
sly vigil
6
restive spoke
Do I get the normal gameplay experience
sly vigil
Each weapons has 4 variations
gleaming shard
And which is the best one ?
restive spoke
If my save is not in hell mode
And which is the best one ?
@gleaming shard play to find out
gleaming shard
Ok
restive spoke
😃
sly vigil
Hell Mode is basically forced difficulty.
viral rapids
Normal is the best , once that is to easy on max heat you go to hell mode lol
gleaming shard
Coming from Remnant from ashes
viral rapids
game is hard sauce lol
sly vigil
You can enable the se difficulty on normal later, so you are not missing anything substantial.
restive spoke
Hell Mode is basically forced difficulty.
@sly vigil but I will be able to get the same gameplay experience as hell mode if I’m on normal
Ahhhh I see
So basically it’s a jump start in difficulty. But I’ll be able to play at the same difficulties later on
restive spoke
I was worried that I’ll eventually miss out on some gameplay
But both modes have the same ceilings right?
Meaning that one is not higher at all times
sly vigil
Hellmode is a tiny bit harder
You lose your "oneshot" protection, kinda. I don't want to go too much in details
restive spoke
Ah ok
But if I play my save in normal I’ll eventually catch on to the higher difficulties?
sly vigil
Correct
restive spoke
I don’t wanna start a fresh save later on just to play higher difficulties lol
Nice thank you
sly vigil
Everything you enjoy on Hell Mode, you can enjoy on Normal, but not vice versa.
(with a tiny exception of "OSP")
restive spoke
That’s a bit confusing lol
So I will eventually have to start a save in hell mode
If I wanna get a higher difficulty
Than what I can get in normal
sly vigil
Technically yes, but the max difficulty Normal is almost equal to Hell Mode. The only thing Hell Mode has over Normal is that you don't have "one shot" protection. That's it
hushed mulch
@sly vigil would you recommend starting from Hell Mode?
sly vigil
No. I think most people would agree with me, also.
In fact, most of the record challenging runs on this server are done on Normal mode.
silent trail
Is there any way to track what boons you've received in the past mid-run for the fates??
hushed mulch
hmm.. i see. i'll start in normal mode. thx FoxHope
sly vigil
When you see a boon, there should be a little scroll symbol for what you haven't picked @silent trail
hushed mulch
has anyone confirmed if Hades is running 60fps on the Switch?
restive spoke
Greater reflex good?
Maybe I should save up for greater reflex
has anyone confirmed if Hades is running 60fps on the Switch?
@hushed mulch judging by my human eyes yes it’s targeting 60
sly vigil
Yes! 2 dashes are invaluable.
restive spoke
Although there will be occasionally stutters
silent trail
Ahh thank you!! <3 and did I understand that you can only get ritual blood with one weapons @sly vigil??
restive spoke
Yes! 2 dashes are invaluable.
@sly vigil well now I regret using my darkness
sly vigil
@silent trail In the early game, yes. Of course there will be more ways to earn more blood.
hushed mulch
@restive spoke ah ty. im fine with stutter. that's good to hear 👍
silent trail
Thanks @sly vigil
restive spoke
How does keepsakes work
sly vigil
I mean there is the Defiance thing, which is about the most valuable, then I would say the 2 dashes
sly vigil
One at a time. After each biome you can swap out for another.
sly vigil
Yup.
sly vigil
Just discover at your own pace. The only thing I would say is Evergreen Acorn is stronger than it sounds.
restive spoke
Nice ok thanks
rocky sigil
Early game it’s good to use the collar as that gives extra hp
restive spoke
What are blood
sly vigil
You use that to upgrade weapons (aspects).
rocky sigil
It’s a late game item you shouldn’t worry too much about it but don’t sell them lol
You should be able to beat the game without upgrading any items
restive spoke
Ok so it’s late game stuff
Bounties sounds confusing as hell
If I get the first three but not the fourth bounty on a heat, and i complete some new bounties on the next heat, will I be able to come back to the original heat and still get the blood for the fourth bounty
Or do I just miss out on it
sly vigil
Did you beat the game already?
restive spoke
Oh no no no this already sounds difficult as hell
hushed mulch
pun 😏
restive spoke
No not at all xD
pun 😏
@hushed mulch ahaha
I’m watching some guides and it mentioned blood
So I was just wondering lol
sly vigil
I think the heat stuff will make sense once you get there :D
restive spoke
Aight thank you
rocky sigil
The heat stuff will make sense but basically it’s “tiers” per heat level. And it retroactively rewards you. Let’s say you’re at heat level 5 and you crank it up to heat level 10. The game will reward you the heat level 5 rewards first, you can play heat 10 6 times before having to move the heat level up from there. Makes sense?
hushed mulch
ah kinda like Slay the Spire
rocky sigil
Yep exactly
Also I recommend not watching any guides for this game
They don’t help too much and they mainly bias you into not trying different stuff
candid nimbus
Try everything, guides are good for building a foundation though
hushed mulch
thx for the recommendation. i saw a high heat run before and nothing made sense anyway ahaha
stark bough
The fun bit about Hades is how flexible each weapon can be. Don't ruin it with guides, just figure out what you like about each weapon and build around it
rocky sigil
Also there’s no dark souls tier secrets that are unbelievably difficult to find

thank goodness
rocky sigil
The game unfolds for you

@rocky sigil ah thank you
rocky sigil
@restive spoke np basically the game is challenging you to bump the heat up every time you finish a successful run
pulsar frigate
it's a gradual and modular system of difficulty designed to test the player's skill at their own pace
honestly it's pretty genius
sly vigil
Yup, it lets me go from 1 heat to 57, get demolished and say never again.
stark bough
It's also nice for some mix and match spice. Sometimes you want traps to absolutely wreck you and for bosses to wreck you harder
rocky sigil
I’ve played with a bunch of combinations and the ones I find unbearable are the ones that increase the enemy attack rate and the ones that limit your abilities

I've been dragging my heels on getting Hades, despite my love of previous games and more generally this type of game. But, learning it's on the Switch now, is there particular reason to go Steam or Switch?

Depends how you want to play at that point I guess? I don't own a Switch so ez decision

(And Steam achievements)
I personally like the precise aiming with kb+m.
Am more comfortable with it than with joysticks, especially for the bow or rail (ranged weapons) or also the shield throw.

Titan blood is limited to 2 per weapon per heat up to 20 heat, and you'll need to buy the rest from the trader
Early on it's much more valuable to spend your darkness on the mirror though

Darkness isn't too hard to grind compared to Titan Blood
The bounties don't give you enough titan blood to max the weapons aspects anyways

Can't say I regret it yet since I still have no idea what the titan blood does

Oh you're not alone don't worry
I started a new hell mode save to experience it like a bit of a noob again
And yes I do miss my darkness

GREAT! High five!! I'm not alonnneeeeee ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Now it's such an effort to get 2 Death Defiances, while on the other save I have so much Darkness I don't know what to do with it... XP But, overall, starting over is fun, I think! 😄 I can't wait to get the alternate Weapon Aspects, but I haven't even met Thanatos yet.

I just beat the final boss on my new save just last night so I'd say i'm making progress. Still haven't met Than yet as well T^T
