I been leveling random things
does it matter
Should I restart or just keep on playing
I'm only 10+ hours in
As long as you enjoy the weapons you upgraded, no, keep going
a lot of people suggest only upgrading 1 weapon to farm things out easier at the beginning, but for mirror I'd just upgrade whatever you want at the start
@pastel summit @naive trellis thanks
do boss fights (specifically, ||Hades himself||, if it matters) count as encounters? i have the option to buy an eye of lamia that will carry over into the boss fight unless i get very unlucky, having health drops during the final boss would be quite a help 
Yes they do.
that is very unlikely to drop some healths, might as well use bouldy
Summons can still drop things, it's an ok chance
i wont call 15% for like 4 summons an ok chance tbh
I usually get like 8-12 spawns during the redacted fight
i mean at a time
plus the ||skull bomb things|| presumably count as a mob too, and the redacted certainly throws those around like they're going out of style
If you read the bloodstone codex entry you'll see you're not too far off
well, nuts. the tiny little 2 mob rooms in ||the temple of styx|| count as whole encounters themselves. so the lamia eye was gone before i even cleared one more wing. i thought each wing was an encounter š¦
yes, it only dont count for keepsakes
also, i assume there's a bot deleting messages for me using the s-word. any chance you could add a function to have it pm you so you don't go mad thinking "huh, waitaminute, didn't i just type that message in here before?"
oh really? so worst of both worlds, well that's... poop.
frick no cursing in this christian server
don't mind me, just murdering thousands of things on my way out of... heck.
I won with the shield and unlocked the ||Pact||, now must I win with all of the other weapons to unlock bounties for ||Heat 2|| or just one will be sufficient? I'm really hurting for more diamonds rn..
||pact|| and ||heat|| are spoilers in this channel, so please edit accordingly.
As for the answer to your question, ||you can have one weapon at a much higher heat level than the others if you have a weapon or two you heavily favor||
my bad, and thanks
Hey everyone, I have a bit of a question, maybe a silly one, but I haven't been able to find an answer. I play on M&K (controller is not an option), and I seem to struggle with figuring out how to direct dash where I want to consistently, without enabling "dash at cursor". Maybe I am misunderstanding how it aims? I thought, it's at whatever movement key you're holding at the moment of pressing the dash button, but sometimes it seems to dash in a different direction, which leads to me jumping into lava and some such things. If someone could clarify this to me, it would be a great help!
Odd, it should dash towards whatever movement key you're holding... hmm
Can dash diagonal too
so, theoretically, if I am holding s and pressing d, it should dash into that diagonal direction? sometimes it will just dash in the direction of the first key pressed, as far as I notice
I need to have the movement input in first before dashing personally
So I guess I'm holding s and d at the same time before dashing
I might be able to dash diagonal by pressing d quick enough, but it's something I don't really take note of, holdon
It feels like I have both inputs in before hitting dash
hi guys!
and I hold both for duration of dash?
sometimes when i start a new run, i get an intro of the hades the god saying a oneliner and having one of the words enhanced
like arms or brat
does that mean anything gamewise
Oh, I see, pokeuser12, thank you for your input, I'll try to do it this way more from now on if I can help it!
@candid nimbus thanks! wasnt sure if it modifies a run
Oh yeah, it works really well that way
Thanks again!!
does bull rush on the shield count as an attack to for example apply doom from curse of agony?
Yeah
yes
all special form of attack (not special) counts as "attack"
if you use the attack button, it's an attack
there is the upgrade that makes enemies take more damage if they have the thing from the cast in them, how does that work with crystal beam boon?
if you're talking about Boiling Blood mirror upgrade, it only makes attack and special do more damage to enemies with casts in them.
It don't
so it doesn't do anything with non-lodging casts
isn't hunting blades not really something you need poseiden aspect for?
it benefits from the +50% damage bonus
ah
I only have it at +20%
alternatively, pos/ares/artemis also grants access to mirage curse of drowning
great for a melee playstyle
I know I want exit wounds
But I gotta get the casts the best too
what is curse of drowning?
ares/pos duo
I think I'll do an Artemis cast build
Go for it
damn, I just got a seamare on my first succesful fish
Wow I just beat redacted without coming close to using a death defy
I think that's a first
I got a really good build
I'm also just getting good at the fight
Congrats! š
you can just do spoilers
let's get a 9th
All the best!
thank you!
And I still haven't unlocked any ||hidden aspects||. Getting sort of salty about that
If you met the reqs it's rng dialogue
And since you're in the thick of the story with 8 wins rng dialogue is prolly not gonna be on your side as much
Yep. I'll get it eventually I guess
Believe me
I waited an insane amount of runs to complete the ||favor for sisyphus|| because of that
I can't make forward progress on either of those spoilers because I can't complete a run yet so ya'll better off than me :p
Eh we just got more time invested xD
maybe. Ppl are running out of things to say to me :p
How many runs have you done?
74
Alright, more than me then. But it really does just depend on getting to know the game
lol
Hey, you mind if I lurk around for a bit here?
If you aren't yet, I would recommend thinking about what build you want for the weapon, then going in with the keepsake from the god who can set you on that path
oh that's what I've been trying for the last 20-30 runs
Different weapon each time or?
yup
What would you say your major stumbling block is
game
the ||bonus damage per each olympian whose boon you have|| applies even if you have only one?
is there one particular thing giving you trouble
I'd recommend the two status curse upgrade more
You'll apply at least two curses in most of your runs
I rarely have, but I still wanna know the answer to that question
you can invest in both can't you
https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/725021347968712724/764636522422075412 I asked yesterday, still trying to figure out
Yes
you can invest in both, but you can only use one at a time
But I almost never have fam fav on
Do you have full death defies liminal?
Iāve almost never have had two status on an enemy at once except maybe a boss
yes Snowy
Really?
Most runs I only ever find one status effect upgrade
Huh
Alright then which weapon are you best at
Or the enemy dies before you apply two
same, but I might try to go for status more often if I have that upgrade
I just like the 5% per olympian for consistency
But in that case family favourite wouldn't have made the difference either way
But it's of course nice having permanent damage buff
apparently I've gotten closest w/ sword and fist, have the hardest time w/ bow and shield, and have used the raail the least
I believe it just starts at 5% with 1 boon
I'm not sure on that either
But since it says % per I assume you dont
For the fist, I like to get a Dionysus attack buff
Since you can get so many hits in
that stuff adds up
"deal bonus damage for each olympians whose boons you have"
Try long knuckle with support fire fr artemis
Also hold attack and spam dash
It skips the pause between attacks
I find chiron bow the easiest to win with
I haven't seen dyonisus in 10 runs
I can't chiron bow
Use his keepsake then
I wanna give him nectar but mfer doesnt show up
Yeah rush in, get your attacks in, get the hell out of dodge
it's terrible forc me
I had a heroic poseidon special attack boon today with chiron which was nice
hera bow is sligtly better, but bow is still rough.
And +4 shots for your special
Actually I wanna ask, is +3 base damage per consecutive hit better than +4 shots in your special?
the duo boon that seems op if you get it early is the poseidon/dyonisus
No
I assumed not, thanks
Usually more shots is better
@hot yoke Aphro attack, dio special. ares revenge boon and both duo for poison
More overall damage I think
But I like it more for builds
In my experience, fists is the only one that really benefits from consecutive
@gusty atlas something you could try to build for, which I just beat redacted with, is Fists, Dionysus Attack, Ares Special, the ares/dio duo boon that makes your hangover damage faster, some kind of good call, I like aphodite's a lot, a dash like poseidon's or dionysus'
Oh, I'm sorry
|| on both sides
^
I'm not a large discord person I'm kinda stupid when it comes to these things
How do you tag things?
How snowy said
double
Two on both sides
||
||test||
there
there ya go
Bingo
Ah thank you very much
I see
@gusty atlas what are you currently stuck on in your runs?
Also there's no shame in turning on god mode
it goes up every time you die when it's on
Yup
I did forget to turn it on on my last attemp but...
Oh my god that's amazing
I mean, mostly I can't dodge. So if my dps is good, I make it further.
I got to ||nicknaming the Hydra||. And when I beat it ||the victory screen said Lernie||
that's just the best
I've made it to ||redacted|| about half a dozen times
Maybe take a lot of defensive boons
I got to ||nicknaming the Hydra||. And when I beat it ||the victory screen said Lernie||
@white dew lol I enjoyed that
Artemis should be your girl
you can just say the name if you have it in spoilers
deflect dash hasn't done it
Artemis isnāt straight
Also Dyonisus has some boons that heal You back up and give you more damage resistance
All of the olympian gods are bi, this is canon
uhh don't think that's true
I-
Interesting statement
Also Dyonisus has some boons that heal You back up and give you more damage resistance
@hot yoke I agree with this probably
You can fight me but you know it's true
Well she at least seems to like Prince Z
Artemis is pretty strictly a lesbian in any mythos Iāve seen
āļø
Hades is a different adaption of that ig
Does it matter a lot?
In hades?
Not rlly imo
Artemisās hunting partner she references, Callisto, is a woman
At least ||Zagreus|| is confirmed bi, but I think all of them play a little fast and loose
If you're immortal you have a lot of time to try things out
Redbloods have some interesting convos in new player chat
When does it say they're bisexual?
Zag flirts with everyone.
Zag f.e. can romance both genders
Fair enough then
I was trying to spoiler tag but yes
Dusa also is ||aro/ace||
and bisexuality was also very common in ancient greece
I'm hoping I'm non specific enough so it doesn't warrant tags
Why do you care so much about their in game sexuality if it's not rude to ask
Sry but what is ||aro/ace||?
Which it, probably is
someone said a god wasnt straigth I think
Ginge
@hot yoke ||Asexual/Aromantic||
this all started because someone said I wanted deflect, tbf
I wish we could gift nectar to boons in the shop
Thanks
An interesting uh development @gusty atlas
don't ask me poke
Idk either haha
it got out of hand
It usually seems to do with me involved
Lol
So ah back to trying to help
Ah yes
I'm not questioning, just ... amused?
ah, I thought you were questioning how we got here
Athena also has a legendary that ||gives you a damage preventing shield that regenerates||
Getting that might help you
never seen that
also, is there any way to not take any hammer upgrades?
No
You can see the requirements in the codex
You can dodge the hammer room, otherwise nope
I'm trying to think if I've seen anything other than one legendary
Need codex upgrade though to see pre-reqs
I think I have codex upgrade
^
have to check
I've seen a lot of legendaries but only taken a few
Codex is so useful
You can find it at the house contractor
Oh you mean the stats?
Yeah
Nope
I don't think so
But it shows you the requirements you need to meet for boons to appear
Like if you look at boons in the codex it just shows them as commons I believe
And highlights the ones you met
Yes yes
Which is incredible for builds
I've never done much planning for runs tbh
Having a build in mind is very important to a successful run imo
Well I try to make informed decisions but they're often not very informed
Most planning I do is when I run Hera Bow
Awesome
Then you can also look for other defensive boons that might help you
Oh liminal, did you figure out the movement stuff?
As I said athena, Dionysus and aphrodite have lots of defensive boons
My favorite call is Aphrodite's
and I was interpreting it as something that may be actually imposssible
with her greater call you can just delete people
I'm am athena call boi
Ah I see
Poseidon's call is fantastic. Tons of damage, invulnerability, movement speed.
Aphrodite is more for bosses imo
I quite like poseidons and ares
artemis greater call is good if you just want to delete bosses imo
so the actual result is that I'm just bad at dodging, not that I have any technical hangup
Well, I find it, okay at least lol
You don't like becoming a top?
I like beyblade
Lol
But I stick to throwing them
Yeah I get aphrodite specifically for the boss fights
Ah, I was talking to someone earlier today. We figured you needed to really commit when dashing in a direction
by you I meant in general
you get a second dash from a mirror upgrade
gotta use both of them in the same direction to get somewhere
Ah, they weren't able to dash diagonal because the input wasn't being registered
It's just free frequent I frames imo
so basically, I was interpreting the whole convo as saying they wanted me to try and move the stick over and press the fire button while the dash animation was happening so thta the bow would dash-attack in a direction other than where I was dashing
Also take the hermes upgrade that gives you more dashes
Not too much recovery
It's run changing
^^
Since it's more mobility and more I frames
so like, dash forwarcd but attack backwards
Oh no I get you, that's impossible from what I hear on controllers yeah
I find 2 dashes isn't always enough to get you out of the way of ||hades' spin attack||
you can do that on mouse?
It's hardly possible on controller yeah
Bout auto aim does a lot in that regard
If it doesn't f u up
Oh interesting
I only take ruthless with fist hidden spect
the closest I got was if you start charging and then dash, but that's a fire then dash, not a dash attack
I turned off aim assists when I started playing but turn it on if I'm using exygryph
and the problem I have w/ the bow is the whole charging bit
and the problem I have w/ the bow is the whole charging bit
@gusty atlas how so?
takes time
Oh okay
Maybe you should focus more on attacking when an enemy is recovering
Basic bow is p bad imo
Although nothing in hades is really bad
Just worse than other options
Every of the bow aspects is insanely nice tho
The hammer to makes attack a hold down rapid fire is nice
Chiron Bow helps because attack is only then used once per enemy
Oh, when it rapid fires, is the base damage the same as like, a minimum charged bow shot?
If that makes sense
by the time I'm aiming at the enimy, they've stoped recovering and am killing me
Maybe try practising positioning?
With a lot of enemies it helps to just put some distance and don't over commit on to many attacks
Dash frequently
Yes yes dash a lot
Nah nah I get you
Just don't stand around with bow, charge up fully and shoot all the time fe
I mean i just use the bow as a melee weapon
There is no such thing as ranged in my book 
Lol
I don't use the normal bow
That's the hack
Before I unlocked chiron I'd use the special as like a shotgun effect
Normal bow is really good
Up close
I've tried 3 bows
But people seem to really like Chiron a lot
none of them worked
I like all but Zag bow
I mean I guess aim bot is pretty good
As in?
It really needs to be leveled
Maybe
No I mean with just unlocking it it's instantly very good
Oh okay
I'm taking about hera
Lmao where is this coming from?
As I said you need to level chiron
I was saying I'm terrible w/ bow
You only get 3 arrows at first for Chiron special
Bow just got buffed, why is it already needing a nerf
Oh can I ask ask what you think the best fiat aspect is quickly?
I love Zag aspect for fists
^^
Are all viable aside from the pull one?
Yeah @sleek whale would say Demeter is the best
Mm okay
Talos is really fun yeah
Imo there's nothing not viable in hades
Agreed
yes
I suppose so
Thank you for answering my summons 
Idk, I'm starting to think I'm not viable š
Other weapons just Overshine the worse aspects by a lot
Aw no lol
it just takes time ti get used to an aspect or weapon
Practice my dude
I'm hard out of ideas on how to get better
Just don't suck 
Practise makes perfect
Easy
llike so many ppl look down on GY, but its really good on LC4 runs
that is the worstt advice
Lol jk jk
Bruh volty
srsly
Hello do I count as a new player if I donāt have the game but really really want it
sure, but that's harder to solve
Yes 
@gray stratus may be
well ur not even a player i would say
You're new
but well ur new
Well, I assume you're welcome at least lol @gray stratus
Yay thanks
How do you know xD
Cause
No
You seem like at least moderately okay people
I was talking about boreds comment
Well then
Not the being welcome part
Ignore me
Np
Lol
We all playas
I just got a 20$ eshop card for my Bday and I really want hades but itās 5 Gigabites... Iāll leave it up to you guys should I get it
yes
Get it
Yes
It's worth it
why ask
I mean if you think you'd enjoy it yeah
get it
You're asking in the hades discord mate xDD
lol
I think our answer is very biased
I knew you guys would say yes I honestly just wanted the clarification
Haha
Lol np
Well are you into roguelites?
5 gb? isn't the game like 20
How hard is it compared to dead cells, issac, and gungeon
i just suggest making sure that ur system runs it properly
Clarification granted
for the best experience
How hard is it compared to dead cells, issac, and gungeon
@gray stratus easier
@gray stratus it is incredibly adaptable in difficulty
its easier i wld say
Generally
+50
Jump in and if you have questions just ask here
If you've played gungeon and dead cells and stuff you should probably be okay
but let them find out for themselves
@gusty atlas you could always try to bump the godmode a bit higher, so it gives you better opportunity to learn patterns and practice without dying instantly. that fight is a bit of a muscle memory, on top of boon luck
@sleek whale I meant +50 as in agreeing very hard
ahhh
Wdym +50?
lol i misunderstood
Np I tend to be insanely vague
ehh same
+50
, it's very hard
@twilit barn just really hard
Oh okay
u'll find out anyways soon enough
how far are you
Lol
ah
I'm guessing you didn't ;D
40 ish runs
lol same
How man wins? 10+ I'm assuming
in this case i was referring to the Pact
got daedalus twice and haven't gotten the one I wanted, but I got an upgrade repeated
damn
F
There's still more story
I'm sorry
nah
Nah why should you?
It'll be okay
You'll get better
And then you take longer
No shame in that
And anyway it's not the most important thing in the world you're amazing at a game
It's about having fun along the way
^^^
No matter how long you take
Very
it's just an open question of if I'll ever get there
You will
You'll get there
So
No question
Hey I got a special kind of boon from Poseidon saying I'd get 20 % better fishing spots; I assumed it was permenent, just like the Rod of Fishing. but in my current run it is gone. Why???
Boons are single run
Boons disappear after the run
you can get it again, but it's a tricky one to get, apparently
Tricky, and mostly useless
It's a scripted event I think
But it'll disappear after the run
I gtg now, idk if this is the kinda place where you announce your departure but anwyay, cya, nice to meet you people
Cya man
bye
Unless you're memeing or are ok with sacrificing power for resources you shouldn't aim for it
Look mom I won with hades fishing legendary
Lmfao
Now I want a fishing hades event
dionisus cast is good, right?
Mostly yes
@sullen pier esp with hera
Depends on your build
great dmg great aoe
I'm sad I didn't buy +20 damage per status now
All boons are good in the right build
@gusty atlas Honestly the best advice I can give you is to practice dashing and understand every enemies move set. Understand which weapon does what. Some weapons have amazing gods that go with them and some should be just plain avoided when running certain weapons (Like Poseidon on most melee weapons). Experiment around, you'll soon find something that will just click and it'll be an amazing run. Sorry if my earlier comment was a bit rude I meant no harm. 
or whatever it was
but u better have cd bloodstone
cd?
yup
cooldown one
20% dmg when enemies are affected by 2 status
green
@sullen pier Yes, I think so! š
yeah I don't
@obsidian locust it's cool
I like the other version
Basically learn everything lol
You can get up to 25 % regardless of status
Duo with zeus is pogger
yes
Do check this guide out if you want to know what guaranteed works for the weapon
i had some vid with it vs 3rd bosses
9th win!
Grats! š You're almost there!
@sullen pier here look ||https://youtu.be/Idlqm_bjmm4||
Only one away from the Fated threshold
can't wait!
damn
Is that the load into arrow, plus dio, plus what of zeus?
the one that zaps when the cast is dropped?
no
Lmao whenever i see heroes I wanna link the sub 5 sec heroes fight so bad
yeah, it just deals lightning damage, just looked it up
You mean lightning rod
that's insane
@sullen pier later in that run i found 2nd duo
and killed redacted with that great combo
nice
I'm itching for my first hera run
@sullen pier ||https://youtu.be/aazcy19vzfw||
@hot yoke yup
also imo dio cast is best option for hera
Huh isn't the other better for more damage
Or rather reliable damage stacks
Obvs with hermes, chaos and artemis not bir
That's my assumption
The other would be more burst damage
Presuming I get the hermes legendary it doesn't xD
But he doesn't want to give me most time so
Hey, do you guys use a controller or keyboard and mouse
also that's an older version right?
Switch so I have no choice
no
I use kbm bc I don't have a controller
Thinking of trying controller because i suck so bad with any if the ranged weapons lol
your blood thing looks different, mine is a counter?
wdym
Like 1/3
He uses stygian soul
Was that the name?
It regenerates instead of dropping
That's why it looks different
thats why i say use cd stone instead of numberous stones
Tf is cd supposed to mean
Just because of the round icon?
it's so stupid to wait untill stones will back
and after that u need to dash to enemy to collect them
and after u need to dash away to use it again
I usually take cd if I'm not doing cast
I take the other with poseidon
But as I haven't played hera yet I'd have to find out
@hot yoke choice is ypurs anyway
Having three bloodstones is so much more frontloaded damage, though
man, ||theseus's demeter summon|| is annoying af
Blocks a lot
yeah, the whole arena basically
I don't know why I left him with not too much hp
The dionisus one is so easy
I like it better than demeter for sure
Nothing easier than artemis
Does what boons you have change who he summons?
best huntress lmao
He can't have the call you have
he calles god u have not
So in a limited sense yes
Well I have the artemis one
You paid your price then
ok here we go 15
for Dio and his Q
Get em drunk
I like to imagine the hangover coming from zag forcing his enemies to chug massive quantities of wine
Just punches them with wine coated fists
Signs of things to come I hope
I like to imagine his wine is highly addicting, so enemies take every chance they get to drink it, it's literally worth dying for
Not like they have a choice in that matter
@sullen pier styx?
yes
use patrocle trinket
I just lot half my hp exclusively to that
Idk what that is
You mean patroclus's trinket?
Might do that for next styx
@sullen pier it gives you shield when u r damaged
helps to run to the cure pool fast
Yeah, I'll do that
I've gotten ||cerberus's treat second room every time (only like 5 times)|| is that normal?
Not unless they only make it random after enough clears
I get 2 a lot, but mostly 3-5
I also have god mode on, but that's only for this one
I did such a dumb thing just now
Also how good must that treat be so that ||cerberus abandons his post||
So I went into a chaos pit
and I decided to get a boon that would damage me every time I used attack in the next 3 encounters
little did I consider that my next encounter was the boss
lmao
and this is an attack build
so I just spent far too long running frantically around shooting hydras with my special and trying desperately to not get hit
did you win?
Omg happened exactly the same to me and it was the third boss, and i won
But it was still far harder than it would have been
tempting
||https://i.imgur.com/rERqCpU.png||
Do it 
100%
I always check the room number before accepting any chaos boon
remember as young and beatiful i go in
Also how good must that treat be so that ||cerberus abandons his post||
@sullen pier the important thing to remember is that Cerberus is basically|| Zagās pet and loves him.||
I didnāt mean not to go Chaos
Just to be mindful of what rooms fall within the span of the weakened state
@daring oracle dude i was so scared when i met him 1st time and Zag said "To arm"
i mean how could he
that was awful moment
ok ||Charon|| awaits
-2dd
totally worth
||Charron|| is always worth
Death by ||Oar||
what is ||oar||
That thing ||Charon holds with his hands||
Would you guys say that @obsidian locust is an accurate representation of this community
finally killed ||hades|| gg
I don't mind typing it, but ig I'll do that from now on just in case someone clicks
had to use god mode but it was only 22% gg
next time it'll be without
I didn't really cut it close so I could've done it without
@valid shell just keep meeting her
So I just keep getting her blessings and at one point it will unlock?
well for me it works with most gods
i meet them
i gift them nectar
i talk to them
and in one moment
BAM
we are friends
yup
@valid shell She just has a bit a special dialogue so just keep exhausting it and you'll get it eventually
so u just keep doing whet u did before
Okie dokie
Wow
I can't believe I got this decked out build only to have ||Hades not even fight me, lol||
@white dew 10th?)
ye
)
Enjoy the credit roll?
Music's good
Well be prepared cause there is still more 
I would be disappointed if not lol, there's quite a bit I haven't even unlocked
olympian favor vs dark foresight which one should I focus on?
both may be good
Omg. Finally beat redacted. And stepped through the thing.... And boom. Power went out...
Awesome!
Foresight is better imo, since you get less meta resources
That's great to hear!
@white dew ...
I mean it saves that, right?
We'll have to see if it went through
I mean even if it did save that isn't something I'd say "Awesome" to XD
It's their first time beating it
Fair enough
@pliant axle call him redacted or final boss
okay so i have killed redacted once after 25 times and i am wondering what is a good aspect/weapon/keepsake to use for me to get easier clears and better boons
yes but i never get good builds thats my problem
it was 100% because of the boon that says you heal if yyou're at 0 DDs
Give this a go @pliant axle
Typically I think of what I want to focus my build on then pick the keepsake of the god who can set me on that path. I then switch to another god for the next two realms (or harpy feather duster if I need health), and then lucky tooth for the last one, just for safety's sake
alright ill be back
@pliant axle i really love poison Chiron builds
with aphro or ares duos
or even both
i find chiron is very weak for me
the aspects i have is the eris exagryph, chiron bow and hera bow @flint eagle
@pliant axle chiron maxed?
||I heard a song of yours Orpheus. It went "something something in the blood".|| That is very relatable
You know, when I picked up the game and saw the title screen and the logo for it, I was kinda worried Zag would be like a 3edgy5me character all darknessy and too cool for his own good
I was completely wrong, he's such a charming guy to play as
@obsidian locust how am i supposed to get these items
The god keepsakes? You get them by giving the god nectar the first time
Use the Olympian keepsakes
ah ok
The Olympian give them to you once you gift them nectar once
what weapon do you think i should use?
all of them have their own uses
cause im really having a hard time
I'd say shield and sword are the most beginner friendly
My first time beating it was with the exagryph
@pliant axle try Hera with dio cast
so should i use dio keepsake?
With which weapon?
hera bow
@pliant axle how do i start my runs
wdym @flint eagle
I tend to go with Ares
i check 1st room and boon it gives
Or a special build
for example it Zeus with attack dash and cast
i surrender and take weapon i need(Hera) and dio keepsake
It doesn't change when you give up, does it?
so it would be Dio with attack dash and cast
ahh
so you see what it is
leave and then use the weapon that is best with ti?
it
hm
i had once very frustrating times when i had Aphro in the start]
but when i swaped weapon
her boons become another ih the beginning
How do bounties work
I thought i knew
But i think ive done most a couple bosses with 1 hear on spear
Yet no matter how much heat i stack i still dont get new bounties
Says heat gauge full
But still 3 bounties already used up
@wintry summit if u beat first 3 bosses on that ||heat lvl|| u cant have bountiesfor them only for last one
I think the point of confusion here is that ||heat doesn't let you increase it until you get a full clear at that heat||
At least, as far as I understand it.
Ooooooh
@odd forge u can
I see
It's never worked for me @flint eagle
It continues to say that it's ||overheated|| as Tusk says
@odd forge u can put any ||heat lvl || no matter where u rn
Sure, but I agree with Tusk that the interface complains definitely makes it look like you can't get more bounties until you get a ||full clear at a given heat||.
No you're right, need full clear
Yeah, thanks pokeuser12, that's what I thought.
I just opened up Hades to check too, and confirmed.
@wintry summit u can still make ||heat 2 ||and get bounties
You absolutely cannot, if you haven't ||gotten a full clear at heat 1||
is it?
well, the interface is completely broken then
well i'm not sure now(
So if you ||heat 5|| once, it'll complete ||heat 0||, do it again, ||heat 1||. Still on ||heat 5||? ||heat 2|| completes etc
since it definitely says that you ||won't get anything for the bits you already did at that heat||
Yes, sure
but if you don't complete a full clear
then ||increasing heat|| doesn't get you anything until you do, I think
Yeah can't get titan blood from ||heat 2 if heat 1|| wasn't cleared fully yes you're absolutely right
Right, that's what Tusk was asking about.
sorry for wrong info then
np, ||heat is confusingly expressed, I think||
damn accidently exit
||Every heat stage has 4 rewards to claim, they don't change the others at all||
I think it was weird on me when I first unlocked the ||Pact||. If I tried to use ||Heat|| on a weapon I didnāt clear with, it seemed I could get the new rewards, but I couldnāt confirm unless I started a fresh file
Two questions. Can I start after I have completed an area right at the next area when I die and what does this Red Arrowhead mean to the right of my life
You start at the beginning as we are a roguelite
@patent crater u die u stard from beginning
However there are some resources you are able to spend inbetween runs to get stronger
As for the second question... what do you mean by red arrowhead? The casts?
@patent crater bloodstones u use when rightclicking?
ok
it called cast
it's one of your damage source
usually it's attack, special and cast
all gods have some boons for upgrading it
ok thx
poseidon's legendary isn't what I expected, but I like it
still suck at fishing but oh well
@sullen pier legendary foor fishing?
He has 2 legendary boons if I recall
yeah
20% chance of fishing or something
Ah still struggling with the fishing?
Huge Catch Legendary
Fish spawn Chance +20
Gotta hit when the light pops up
i'm so stupid
I mean, I have a hard time getting the good catch
i wanted to take Patrocles keepsake but took Artemis
Oh the perfect, yeah it's hard. The 3 fakes tip works wonders though
aaaaaaaaaaaa
3 fakes?
yeah, but if there isnt 3 fakes then you just gotta be quick
Yeah 
but I've gotten like 10 fish
We'll be master fish whisperers one day
0 bobs is lethal
Just do it when it actually sinks and a light effect goes off
Nice
Is there any way to discern which boon effects are additive vs multiplicative? Or maybe a list that details which ones are which?
I guess after all those victories the game decided to take me down a peg
Temple of Styx just ripped me to absolute shreds
Redacted cleaned up after them
Yep
I think most boons are additive, def/dodge might be multiplicative... I'm not sure though. I know damage is additive
@candid nimbus dodge works very weird qway
what do surveillance bats do`?
But then it gets sorta weird because hammers affect base damage
not additive not multiplicative
