olympian favour

#

and good legacy

#

after that farm for the reroll

pine kelp
#

should i try to max out favor and legacy first?

#

then farm for reroll?

drifting ivy
#

i would leave the reroll

#

yeh but in the wiki ||Bounties for defeating the first and final bosses for the first time with each weapon at each heat level up to 20 heat (240 Titan Blood)||

#

|| each heat lvl ||

#

im sad

#

XD

#

i want titan blood man

pine kelp
#

by leave the reroll you mean dont level it until the rest of the stuff is maxed?

drifting ivy
#

yep

pine kelp
#

gotcha

#

how about deep pockets

#

that worth prioritizing?

drifting ivy
#

yes it is actually

#

u gain up to 100

#

when maxed

thorny bobcat
#

if you use the shop a lot I'd say it's worth it

drifting ivy
#

its good as a start run

thorny bobcat
#

I got 80 on it right now and it's useful

drifting ivy
#

to get an early upgrade

pine kelp
#

makes sense

#

thank you

random gazelle
#

how much heat gauge does it give when adding to a point for Extreme Measures?

normal arrow
#

||depends on the level||

random gazelle
#

now i see

lavish delta
#

1+1/level

#

so 1 for level 1, 2 for level 2 and 3 for lvl 3

foggy sparrow
#

||4 for lvl 4||

drifting ivy
#

got a question

random gazelle
#

lets say for example, i have 2 heat gauges that have unclaimed rewards. Do my rewards +4 when I go 6 heat gauge?

normal arrow
#

no, I don't think so

lavish delta
#

no you get the lowest rewards

normal arrow
#

||you only get one reward, and it acts as the reward for clearing the lower heat gauge||

gusty atlas
#

You always get the rewards for your lowest unclaimed bounty

random gazelle
#

:(

gusty atlas
#

so if you run at heat 4, but you haven't claimed heat 2 bounties, you get bounties for heat 2

lavish delta
#

but it's good practice

gusty atlas
#

that is a decisiononly you can make

random gazelle
#

but does it also mark heat 4 as claimed then?

so if you run at heat 4, but you haven't claimed heat 2 bounties, you get bounties for heat 2
@gusty atlas

gusty atlas
#

I don't believe so

#

but I haven't tested it

lavish delta
#

it counts as the lowest one

#

if your lowest possible reward is 2, it counts as that

random gazelle
#

alright thanks

#

I'll be sure to post here whenever I have uncertainties

clear jasper
#

guys is here any way to farm megera reputation for companion faster ? i try start run and die, but she dosnt appeared

safe niche
#

idk

#

its up to rng

gusty atlas
#

Riens: Have you had her appear the first time?

safe niche
#

i have 120+ runs still no meg

gusty atlas
#

after that it's random

clear jasper
#

yea i have 3 hearth with her

gusty atlas
#

but you have to force the first time

#

yeah, I think it's random after that.

safe niche
#

wait

hot yoke
#

Tag ||companion|| pls

gusty atlas
#

luckily, unlike some of the others, she's not blocked on other things

safe niche
#

how do u force the first time

gusty atlas
#

|| she doesn't show up in house of hades until you beat her the first time ||

safe niche
#

oh

woven crypt
#

am i supposed to be this bad lmao

gusty atlas
#

you're probably better than me

safe niche
#

i thought there was a way to force her to enter ur room and collect her stuff

#

u get better with practice

woven crypt
#

i got like 3 levels past meg and i cant get back there LOL

safe niche
#

and picking the right boons help a lot

clear jasper
#

i will try more death runs will see if this work

hot yoke
#

That's the nature of roguelites

#

You gotta learn the game

gusty atlas
#

So, I took a break for a while as suggested by ppl here. Jumped back in a bit yesterday and today. Been trying to understand a bit why the bow is such trouble for me. So there's been this advice I've gotten from here about trying to use dash-attack, and I think that one of the things I'm struggling with is how different dash-attacking w/ the bow is from all the other weapons.

With the sword for e.g., I feel like when I'm relying on dash-attack, I'm either dashing away for defense, or dash-attacking towards the enemy. With the bow, it feels like I'm trying to dash away , or dash-attack away + hold the attack, swivel around and aim back at the enemy I was dashing away from. In trying to do that, it ceases to feel faster than a normal attack, because of the re-aiming if I'm being honest, but the charge on the bow feels really slow overall when there's a room full of enemies, or when there's only a small window to attack in. Second, I feel like, especially in Asphodel, it feels like I'm more likely to get overwhelmed trying to think through that much positioning and dash in the wrong direction and end up in lava or on a trap and die that way. I feel like I have that problem with the bow way more than any other weapon because of trying to deal with dash-attacks, though I've had some trouble overall because of trying to change controllers.

So, I g uess the question is...what am I misunderstanding?

woven crypt
#

yo i watched some guy beat it in 20 minutes with deflect boon dont tell me i need more boons ๐Ÿ˜›

safe niche
#

i feel like normal bow isn't too good

gusty atlas
#

look at how many boons it took him to get that

#

@safe niche I have tried with ||hera and chiron too||

safe niche
#

chiron is better and easier to use

#

those arent spoilers

gusty atlas
#

||chiron is the worst for me ||

safe niche
#

hmm

gusty atlas
#

wasnn't sure if aspects were spoiled

safe niche
#

cos u dont need to dash attack with chiron

#

u gotta get used to ur positioning i think

#

maybe try to play slower so u dont panic

hot yoke
#

Normal bow is decent

#

Free crit

gusty atlas
#

I have 0 levels in it

#

so no free crit

hot yoke
#

Chiron is positioning
Hera depends on the casts
4th is very close range and timing based

safe niche
#

thats wack

hot yoke
#

Well obvs it's bad then

sour kite
#

cos u dont need to dash attack with chiron
@safe niche but it's still a good thing to do

gusty atlas
#

all of them are bad for me

safe niche
#

dont think u need positioning for chiron

gusty atlas
#

well , I can't say that

#

I haven't unlocked the 4th aspect

safe niche
#

its good but not necessary

sour kite
#

I meaaaaaan. You don't need pristine positioning to beat the game with Chiron

hot yoke
#

If you're too close, far or at a weird angle the special won't hit properly

sour kite
#

but fundamentally it is a positioning weapon

hot yoke
#

F.e. In the mini styx rooms it's very iffy

sour kite
#

since you can backstab enemies really well with the special

safe niche
#

u can play it like a melee weapon or a ranged weapon really

sour kite
#

and output dps very safely

safe niche
#

only the styx rooms it gets troublesome

gusty atlas
#

not really best?

#

or at least, I can't

hot yoke
#

If your too close it won't hit all arrows reliably

gusty atlas
#

because I am struggling with it 100% more than I am w/ the spear or sword, or even fist

safe niche
#

yea i find that annoying

gusty atlas
#

or rail

#

or shield

#

so

safe niche
#

u still hv enough dmg tho

#

just use the other weapons haha

gusty atlas
#

still trying to learn

#

so that's not helpful advice

safe niche
#

hmm

gusty atlas
#

I'm trying to ask what I'm not understanding

normal arrow
#

I really like chiron

gusty atlas
#

so telling me to just not use it is counterproductive

normal arrow
#

are you doing attack -> special -> special?

gusty atlas
#

no?

safe niche
#

u can special 3 times if enemy doesnt run away

gusty atlas
#

attack-> special -> dash -> dash -> die

normal arrow
#

IMO that's how to use chiron

safe niche
#

yea

#

atk d s d s d s

normal arrow
#

from a safe distance, attack to tag -> special -> special

hot yoke
#

A huge part of chiron is knowing when you can safely use the special

safe niche
#

nah man

#

spam dash and special

hot yoke
#

You have big end lag

normal arrow
#

actually dashing in between is better

hot yoke
#

F.e. when asterius jumps and you do a special shortly before you take damage

normal arrow
#

true true

safe niche
#

yea

hot yoke
#

@safe niche maybe for you/us it's natural but not for shadow

safe niche
#

i mean

hot yoke
#

So we'll need to be a bit more thorough

safe niche
#

i get hit when spamming lol

#

but thats the general combo for mobs

#

they dont hit fast enough

hot yoke
#

It's a general part of chiron
More so with bosses

gusty atlas
#

everything hits too fast for me

hot yoke
#

With mobs distance is enough sure

#

But you still need a feel for the time it takes to execute dashes after the special/how long the animation is

normal arrow
#

@gusty atlas do you like athena dash? I think I wouldn't have won most of my runs without it

gusty atlas
#

sure, I use it when I get it

#

I just can't seem to do anything w/ the bow

static anvil
#

How many runs have you done with the bow?

gusty atlas
#

idk

static anvil
#

Would you say a lot?

gusty atlas
#

I'm at 136 escape attempts. I don't think I'm 100% even across all weapons, but my gut reaction would say that if there was one that I was less on it'd actually be rail.

#

but my record is such that I've actually been successful twice with spear, and once with everything else except bow and fist.

hot yoke
#

Tbf there's bound to be a weapons you struggle with

static anvil
#

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, is the bow as a weapon not working for you or a specific aspect?

gusty atlas
#

bow as a weapon

hot yoke
#

Fists at higher ||heat|| are giving me a headache

gusty atlas
#

I'm at ||0 heat||

#

on average.

static anvil
#

What exactly is the issue with the bow for you? Is it that you don't feel you're doing enough damage? You're not hitting the enemies?

gusty atlas
#

I was struggling before that advice because of the charging attack in general

static anvil
#

Have you tried turning on autoaim?

gusty atlas
#

autoaim is on

#

you still have to point in almost the right direction for it to kick in

hot yoke
#

Not if you're close enough

gusty atlas
#

well, if i'm close enough didn't dash away now did I?

static anvil
#

You can still dash and be close enough to the enemy

gusty atlas
#

I wouldn't say i understand dash enough to manipulate that, since I still endu p in lava 80% of the time

static anvil
#

Just have to look for the enemies' white flash (telegraph for attack) and dodge then

gusty atlas
#

I mean dash length

sour kite
#

What do you mean by you can't do anything with the bow? Are you struggling to get past|| heat 5? || Please be a bit more specific

gusty atlas
#

@sour kite I can't get past ||heat 0||

static anvil
#

Do you have the mirror upgrade that gives you more dashes?

gusty atlas
#

Egg: Yes

sour kite
#

In that case, I'd recommend just trying to go as slow as you can, engage at max range as much as possible, and practice getting no hit

gusty atlas
#

@sour kite When I say I can't do anything with the bow, I mean that I'm 50/50 on clearing asphodel, if I get unlucky with rooms w/r too many enemies.

#

when I say I can't do anything with the bow, I mean that aimining and taknig that long to attack means I have not figured out how to not get hit

sour kite
#

||I beat 32 for the first time last night with Chiron||, it's just practice

gusty atlas
#

I'm not saying it can't be done

sour kite
#

to use dash strike to tag, and special with the distance earned

gusty atlas
#

I'm saying I danot' know what I don't understand

static anvil
#

Hmmm, in my noob experience the most I can suggest is to use the Zagreus aspect and focus on using the special and use boons on the special that emphasize curses or heavy damage like Zeus, Ares, Dio etc

sour kite
#

I can't see the way you're playing so I can't offer direct coaching there

static anvil
#

That way you can deal damage from a distance and not worry about having to get super close to the action

sour kite
#

but the general idea is to use distance to your advantage

#

and dash-strike to minimise time to tag

#

also if you ever dash strike you don't have an i-frame

gusty atlas
#

see my post above about dash-strike

#

and bow

sour kite
#

if they are up in your face you need to empty dash for safety

gusty atlas
#

because it hurts my head

#

and I've been trying for months to explain why I don't understand dash-strike bow

static anvil
#

There's still the option of using the special more than the attack bouldy

sour kite
#

I mean I'm a KBM player so there's some stuff I can't say for sure

gusty atlas
#

i physically can't use kbm

sour kite
#

I just find it simple to just kite away with the dash, and channel attack after that dash

#

that tags the enemy, then I dash-special x 2

#

or just empty dash if they're up in my face

hot yoke
#

Idk same for me with controller more or less
It's a playstyle you have to adapt to

sour kite
#

the only other thing I can suggest is watching some high level Chiron runs

#

and watch their movement

gusty atlas
#

I've watched , I just don't untderstand

#

so it's not helping any

sour kite
#

So why do you think you're getting hit so often

#

because that seems to be the source of your woes

#

I don't think there's that many rooms which will just overwhelm you at ||heat 0||

gusty atlas
#

what you find overwhelming is different than what I find overwhelming, obviously

hot yoke
#

Well yeah but if he is to help you maybe provide some info

gusty atlas
#

I'm trying

#

to think

sour kite
#

My point is more

#

you could practice empty dashing

#

and just dodge every attack with dashes

#

and if you have a refined dodging skillset

#

you'll find the bow really easy

#

the bow was one the weapons I found easiest to start with because enemies just weren't hitting me all of the time

#

whereas I was tanking so much damage with sword/fists

thick maple
#

Am I the only person that really dislikes the Rail

safe niche
#

i didnt like it at first

sour kite
#

The railgun definitely is a lower ranked weapon for me in terms of enjoyment

safe niche
#

then i used zeus attack and i love it now

sour kite
#

but some of the builds on it can be super hilarious

#

it's strong though

hot yoke
#

Eris

Nuff said

#

Also hestia hella fun

thick maple
#

Having to reload is not satisfying

#

Yes hammers exist but it's meh

gusty atlas
#

Eris is another annoyance for me, but taht's a problem for another day

hot yoke
#

Having to reload is not satisfying
@thick maple are you perhaps playing on controller?

thick maple
#

Yes

wise ivy
#

honestly if hestia cut your ammo to 1 and eliminated the reload button it'd be very interesting

hot yoke
#

Reload to L

quiet vigil
#

Hiyo

hot yoke
#

Now you'll like the gun

#

Ayo

thick maple
#

That's a good idea I'll try a rebind

hot yoke
#

Rail has arguably one of if not the strongest aspects as of current knowledge

thick maple
#

I guess wrong channel to be discussing it

gusty atlas
#

So, examples where I've struggled a lot-
Tartarus, rooms w/ a lot of the skulls, especially when there are also either the dudes who chuck bombs at you, or floor bombs that explrode in your face, I run out of places to go real quick, so I have no time to get off attacks. On something like a sword or fist, I can dash-attack into them and clear them out fast enough, but with the bow picking them off one by one is a huge pain, and the special tends to get weird coverage and not get them down or stagger them enough for me.

Asphodel, I've had trouble with gorgon heads freezing me in place, some of those swipey dudes just staggering me in ways I couldn't dash away (not sure why I couldn't get away), or dashing into lava a lot, especially in the fight with the witches. The lava issue is getting used to positioning, which is obwviously been super slow to me since I'm 130 runs in and still can't figure it out.

Elesyum, Flameweels are a problem on all weapons, dodging them is an annoyance because they're pretty fast, and Asterius is a problem because I can't seem to get ahead of his rush in any meaningful way to get off attacks.

quiet vigil
#

I love the gun

gusty atlas
#

I've less problems w/ the rail than w/ the bow

#

because the attack is faster

@gusty atlas Ok thanks for outlining all these

#

Let's just start with the easy ones

#

Flamewheels and Asterius's bull rush have exactly the same solution

#

Baiting them into chasing you

#

and last minute dashing through an obstacle

#

stops their charge and suicides the flamewheels

#

the chariots have the same thing

#

The bow is not good at dealing with those movesets without specific boons

#

obviously deflect or knockback in your build can also help a lot

#

I like flood shot a lot on bow a lot because I want safety space for this very reason

fiery monolith
#

I find it harder to deal with flamewheels with the sword than with the bow, personally

gusty atlas
#

@fiery monolith I find it hard to gain distance w/ the bow and turn around and attack. W/ the sword, I just dash-attnack through them and expect the dmg, but I also usually have grabbed divine dash by then. So while I wouldn't say I get through them w/o damage, it's more an exercise in why I struggle mentally w/ the bow than saying I can get through it w/ 0 dmg

fiery monolith
#

hmm

#

well my strat with bow is to always powershot-dash

#

a lot

sour kite
#

Tartarus, rooms w/ a lot of the skulls, especially when there are also either the dudes who chuck bombs at you, or floor bombs that explrode in your face, I run out of places to go real quick, so I have no time to get off attacks.

This sounds to me like a mixture of things.

a. You feel like that room is bullet hell because the mines are everywhere, and you think that this means there's almost no safe zone. However, if the mines are spread, you can basically treat areas with a mine on them as safe. Just learn the timing and i-frame dodge the damage, and use the sound cue of the explosion wind-up to guide your dodge there.
b. If you're still struggling you might want to focus skull-o-mats and bothers first.
c. You need to be more aware of the telegraphs that a unit is about to attack. They have basically the same move as the Wretched Thugs, and empty dashing in any direction can avoid all of their damage

gusty atlas
#

and I fundamanteally don't understand that

sour kite
#

For reference I walk over mines all of the time, and keep exploding them intentionally to manage my real estate that it's safe to fight on

gusty atlas
#

sorry, that fundamentally don't undestand that was to the powershot-dash comment

#

I don't understand dash-attack on bow

#

it makes 0 sense to me

#

cannot wrap my head around it

#

I get what you're saying about safe spaces, though in the moment it's still very overwhelming whhen there's a lot of them

#

and that's what I was sayintg re: your overwhelm being different than my overwhelm

sour kite
#

Asphodel, I've had trouble with gorgon heads freezing me in place, some of those swipey dudes just staggering me in ways I couldn't dash away (not sure why I couldn't get away), or dashing into lava a lot, especially in the fight with the witches. The lava issue is getting used to positioning, which is obwviously been super slow to me since I'm 130 runs in and still can't figure it out.
Gorgon heads can be annoying. I normally just try to deflect their attacks but if I can't, they're sidesteppable, or just can just empty dash through the lot. Engage them at max range.

Swipey dudes are dangerous af and you need to respect their combo which can chain you down. Distance is no.1 priority

Dashing onto lava is actually perfectly legit and is sometimes safer than not being on lava. Just try to make your first dash onto lava and immediately dash off the lava with your 2nd

fiery monolith
#

isn't bow dash just the shot, but you're moving while you take it?

sour kite
#

To be honest the advice I've given is just generic Hades advice but made more specific to the bow

#

you'll need to learn these things to master the other weapons as well

#

Dash strike is when you dash and during the dash you start an attack animation

#

the main benefit is just a quicker draw

gusty atlas
#

functionally, you dhave to aim a bow dash-attack in a way you don't have to aim any other weapon because you can't aim the other weapons

#

because of the charge

dense laurel
#

bow dash atk got faster charge iirc

gusty atlas
#

so it's fundamentally different in a way that I have found impossible to hold in my head

sour kite
#

and that's what I was sayintg re: your overwhelm being different than my overwhelm
@gusty atlas I totally do get that, I wasn't saying omg game is super ez. I'm just saying you could refine skillsets that are independent of the bow

#

and still just win off of that

#

functionally, you dhave to aim a bow dash-attack in a way you don't have to aim any other weapon because you can't aim the other weapons
@gusty atlas See this is the kind of thing, I don't know how controller scheme works

#

do you move and aim with the same analog stick?

gusty atlas
#

yes

sour kite
#

well that must make it a lot trickier

dense laurel
#

just use autoaim

gusty atlas
#

you still have tto point at the enemy w/ autoaim

#

it just takes less movement

#

because you're still pointing the stick to dash, and that breaks the aim

sour kite
#

have you ever just

#

spent 10 mins with skelly

#

practicing dash-strike

fiery monolith
#

Ah, well, I use mouse and keyboard

sour kite
#

yah I think KBM makes so much more sense in my own head

#

that's part of the reason I was trying to give generic Hades advice

gusty atlas
#

none of the other weapons have this problem, only bow

#

well, and lob in general, so dio cast and rail special

dense laurel
#

you still have tto point at the enemy w/ autoaim
@gusty atlas actually, by auto aim, if u stop moving ur stick, it aims itself

gusty atlas
#

so eris rail is, as I mentioned, another issue

sour kite
#

actually, by auto aim, if u stop moving ur stick, it aims itself
@dense laurel really

gusty atlas
#

because getting into the special is a good way to walk into a trap

dense laurel
#

i fully switch from KBM to controller due to how easy it is to use em

#

eris bombing is easy,

#

it gets easier with cluster but yeah, i see no problem in aiming

sour kite
#

I still think it'd be worth spending some time with Skelly just getting dash strike down

gusty atlas
#

I've tried

#

maybe not 10 mins, but I have tried

#

I'm just 80/20 on attacking straight forward vs hitting him when I dash-attack

sour kite
#

but I also think it's possible to beat ||heat 0|| without dash striking, and just having a good understanding of how to prevent incoming damage

dense laurel
#

if u want to practice dash strike, try hidden glove

gusty atlas
#

I have not wanted to spend any blood

#

tbh

#

to unlock most hiddens

#

been very reluctant

dense laurel
#

hidden weps is mostly, high reward high risk weps, except hidden sword i guess

gusty atlas
#

there's some risk to it. ๐Ÿ˜› just less compared to the others

dense laurel
#

"less"

gusty atlas
#

||it's slow! still faster than bow||

sour kite
#

what about excepting hidden gun

dense laurel
#

its lower atk speed is fixed by the aura dmg reduction and high dmg

gusty atlas
#

assuming you can stay in it

dense laurel
#

hidden gun is more set up time than normal rail

gusty atlas
#

which, admittedly I had a hard time w/

sour kite
#

I dunno if I'd call it high risk high reward though

gusty atlas
#

it's fair

sour kite
#

It's definitely transformative in a cool way

gusty atlas
#

it's a fair criticism to question if it's high risk/ high reward

#

i mean

#

||sword is the only hidden I have unlocked, because I wanted the prophecy...||

dense laurel
#

u can make status curse towers with hidden rail, it just traded that off from the instant bombing stuff

sour kite
#

I'm not saying there's no tradeoff, or that there isn't any reward. I'm just asking what you perceive the "risk" is

#

Having a downside that's compensated is not the same as having incorporated risk

dense laurel
#

the risk is its set up time is longer

#

like hidden sword lower atk speed

sour kite
#

I think it's just more generic to say for all hidden weapons, that they have downsides compensated by upsides

dense laurel
#

so the potential dmg is slower

gusty atlas
#

me? ||Yeah, it's designed risk is the slower attack animations, opening you up for counters and such... but it's a weak risk compared to the others ||

sour kite
#

they are double edged weapons

#

high risk high reward is the reason you said "high reward high risk weps, except hidden sword i guess"

#

but we're just delving into semantics obviously

gusty atlas
#

||spear risk/rewardi is much clearer to me, but those are the only two I have any reasonable knowledge of||

dense laurel
#

u receive more dmg with hidden shield, and the atk animation is actually slower

#

th hidden fists status curse allows enemies to deal more dmg

gusty atlas
#

I feel like I don't wanna dive deeper into them until I have more clears under my belt tbh

sour kite
#

That's totally a fair thing to do

#

Tbh I find the first alt aspects to be the most noob friendly

#

well, not the spear

dense laurel
#

using hidden spear unleveled is a mistake in the first place

sour kite
#

Unless you're a masochist

dense laurel
#

or just want to farm dialogues

sour kite
#

although it has to be said the masochism won't last long

gusty atlas
#

I haven't unlocked that one

#

apparently I accidentally found out that || you can reveal other aspects w/ spear revealed but not unlocked, because Nyx was being a little pita.||

dusty gate
#

Yeah you just need to see it

#

Then you can unlock the rest regardless of whether you buy it

#

I love hidden shield to death

#

The extra damage taken isnโ€™t a huge deal when you can block imo

soft ridge

Hello everyone! Just started Hades here! Super stoke and its so sickkk!

Welcome :D

leaden whale
#

so how many floors is there before i come to the final boss

wide shore
#

||Tatarus, Asphodel, Elysium, Styx, Final Boss||

leaden whale
#

ty

#

ive made it to end of elysium

#

couldnt beat

#

any tips?

ruby relic
#

This game has so many things

#

I canโ€™t even get a hold of them

#

Rn I always pray I get Daedalus hammer and a boon which turns rail special in a rocket

#

That thing melts like nothing

wicked gale
#

ive made it to end of elysium
@leaden whale Do you mean Teseu?

leaden whale
#

wait theres more

#

oh god

#

i need to get the hand of this

wicked gale
#

good luck man

leaden whale
#

yeah i lost against those two

#

minotaur is extremly annoying

wicked gale
#

Teseu is a pain

leaden whale
#

along with that guy jamming his spears

ruby relic
#

I think mino isnโ€™t as bad as when the spear guy asks for Aphroditeโ€™s help

wicked gale
#

Dash around the map

minotaur is extremly annoying
@leaden whale Dash around the map. Hide behind the pilars

#

His spears can't get you if you are behind the pilars

#

When the gods helps Teseu, just dash insanily around the map. When they stop, you attack

leaden whale
#

okay

wicked gale
#

Also, I highly recomend having Poseidon, Ares or Zeus on the dash for this one.

soft ridge
#

I highly recommend zeus on the dash as well!

#

Are you all playing with the mouse?

#

It makes the bow really tricky

#

With the aiming that is

patent horizon
#

What's a good introductory build for the shield ? also, which aspect works well ?

sour kite
#

It makes the bow really tricky
@soft ridge maybe try turning off aim assist i find it annoying on kbm

wicked gale
#

What's a good introductory build for the shield ? also, which aspect works well ?
@patent horizon Aspect of Zeus, for sure.

patent horizon
#

with zeus boons ? ๐Ÿ˜„

wicked gale
#

Atena boons

#

Works better with the shield for me

soft ridge
#

@soft ridge maybe try turning off aim assist i find it annoying on kbm
@sour kite oh wow! big difference

#

thanks man

#

I switch my dash to the "right mouse" click so its much more convenient rather thn "space bar"

sour kite
#

you're welcome

wise ruin

will hades be updated even if its realised?

dusty gate

Itโ€™s both released and has been updated post release

id love to see apollo thrown in the game tho

Does having the ||pierced butterfly||equipped increase the chances of seeing ||Thanatos,||or is it purely random?

cursive prism
#

It's just random

sly vigil

Someone told me that you need to be below 100% HP for him to spawn though. I don't have a source, however.

^^^ Can confirm

buoyant thunder
#

I finally beat the final boss :D

thick rune
#

Grats!

jovial stratus
dusty gate
#

I have a newfound appreciation for ||achilles|| aspect

#

It gets a ton of mileage out of high-impact casts that donโ€™t lodge themselves in foes, such as crystal clarity or hunting blades

lyric forge
#

That's pretty much exactly what it's for. There's not enough charges to make it super worthwhile with attack builds.

dusty gate
#

It gives you one combo pretty much

#

Itโ€™s ok, but high base damage casts really get the most out of it

shy raptor
#

anyone feel like their sets get super sloppy whenever you try to use family favorites

#

cuz i cannot clear this round lol

thick maple
#

Can anyone explain what dark foresight does

shy raptor
#

from what i understand it makes the chance of getting per-run chamber rewards higher, as opposed to things like keys, darkness, or gems

#

like most of the mirror upgrades the downside of that is not having the red-side bonus instead

dusty gate
#

I kinda naturally let family favorites do its thing

thick maple
#

so does it increase the chance you seem Poms and stuff or does it increase the rewards from those chambers

shy raptor
#

just the chance you see them in the gates, yeah

dusty gate
#

It increases the chance of chamber rewards bejng good stuff like boons

shy raptor
#

although if u have certain contractor upgrades you might not want that (key rewards giving persuasion dice or nectar giving boon upgrades)

dusty gate
#

Even with that the rewards it forces are much, much better

shy raptor
#

true, true

#

the downside for me is not having the rare boons bonus though

dusty gate
#

I agree, the downside is not taking the A side

#

Yeah

shy raptor
dusty gate
#

Imo the B side is the clear winner tho

shy raptor
#

ja

#

if only i had enough to max both out though lol

dusty gate
#

Yeah

#

I have enough to max out the mirror for any given side, but not both at once

#

So I have to use a key sometimes

#

Mildly annoying

shy raptor
#

ikr

#

one day tho

dusty gate
#

Lol ya

#

Every run it matters less and less

most of them yes

i havent unlocked all of them

so i just got like 3 just by doing story so

#

the rest idk

random gazelle
#

alright, thanks for the info

hot yoke
#

It doesn't have to do with story at all

random gazelle
#

oh, thank you very much

gusty atlas
#

@gusty atlas actually, by auto aim, if u stop moving ur stick, it aims itself
@dense laurel so, I was just trying this on skelly. If I dash attack towards the weapons and let go of the stick before the dash animation finishes, the auto aim does not turn around and pick up skelly

#

unless I'm already facing mostly towards skelly, autoaim isn't picking up anything

leaden whale
#

should i get delta chamber or flury fire?

hot yoke
#

Infinite fire>Faster and a bit more fire imo

leaden whale
#

alr

random gazelle

how do you ||train with the lyre?||

civic sinew
#

Ugh. ||Theseus|| just killed me again

gusty atlas
#

how do you ||train with the lyre?||
@random gazelle ||just keep strumming it. I haven't figured out how to speed it up, but it's starting to sound like something for me. ||

random gazelle
#

hmm alright then

leaden whale
#

What is the best aspect to invest titan blood into rn? I tried the chirons aspect and got it to level 3 and rlly dont like it.

bitter pine
#

Do you have all the weapons? Do you like faster weapons, slower? Up close or further away?

leaden whale
#

I have all the weapons and I like bow with hera's aspect, but wanna try something different. Haven't beat the game with all the weapons yet either

#

Only spear and bow

bitter pine
#

The nice thing about zag aspects is that they cost only 1 blood per level

#

Shield zag is strong

#

I'm a big fan of rail zag too with Zeus attack

leaden whale
#

I havent really played rail yet maybe ill try that

#

Haven't played fists yet either

bitter pine
#

Demeter fists are more straight forward imo

#

If you go that route

leaden whale
#

How would you build those? Artemis/aphro?

#

Aphro attack and Artemis special for crit

bitter pine
#

Yep, that's a solid strat

leaden whale
#

Mmm okay, I will try that sounds fun

pulsar frigate
#

this field of grey default profile pics lol

#

anyways, eris rail with either lightning strike or drunken strike

lofty verge
#

any way to get hermes boons to spawn

quaint ginkgo
#

They'll never spawn before Asphodel is my understanding, barring inside Charon's shop

elder marten
#

pretty sure that's the case

#

and tbh I've only seen him in the last shop of tartarus iirc

#

tho, I think I've seen erebus gates with him offered in tartarus

lyric forge
#

I can't say for absolute certain but I'm fairly convinced he can also be offered in the Tartarus mid-shop.

lofty crescent
#

just got my first finish

#

i didnt realise i could uprage the mirror

#

i had 50 keys and 2k darkness

lol

#

its gonna be much easier with mirror

lofty crescent
#

yeh finished first time after doing it

#

id been using spiked collar for hp aswell fml

brisk glen
#

any idea when I get the ||Daedalus hammer entry in the codex||

supple linden
#

err..never?

#

it's not a part of the codex from what i can tell

brisk glen
#

what

lofty crescent
#

daedalus is an in run upgrade bro

supple linden
#

the hammer isn't part of the codex

sly vigil
#

i didnt realise i could uprage the mirror
wait, at least you got the Death Defiance stuff right?

supple linden
#

uprage

I would not suggest making the mirror mad

lofty crescent
#

oh yeh id maxxed out all the stuff on there already

#

just hadnt unlocked any of the extra buffs

toxic meadow
#

I kindda confuse what chill effect do? Slow tasget right?

uneven fossil
#

how do I check escape attempts and the first time i successfully escaped?

frosty basin
#

after a while you will be given the option from your contractor to regain access to the admin chamber

hollow kernel
#

Thereโ€™s a place in the west hall that unlocks that option but you have to progress farther into the story

frosty basin
#

It costs a few diamonds

uneven fossil
#

ooohh, got it, thanks!

frosty basin
#

some a lot of story related stuff in there and two cabinets which shows your run statistics

lofty crescent
#

do you guys try to go for certain builds or just have a rough idea and see how ya go

frosty basin
#

personally, 50/50

cinder pulsar
#

Really depends on how I feel at the time

frosty basin
#

usually I see what gods I get then start to plan a build around what gods I get

lofty crescent
#

and if i use the trinket thing do i always get the boon from that god at the start

frosty basin
#

If I'm not feeling it, I switch to god keepsakes

cinder pulsar
#

Usually I take and alternate between different god keepsakes

lofty crescent
#

if i use the primordial egg, do i get a higher chance of chaos

cinder pulsar
#

Not really

frosty basin
#

it doesn't say so so I assume not

cinder pulsar
#

But you won't have to pay the health toll and any boons you pick up from them are more likely to be rare or better

frosty basin
#

There's no guarantee for Chaos chamber to appear either like hammers or Hermes (that I know of) but I think you can at least get one

safe niche
#

usually I see what gods I get then start to plan a build around what gods I get
@frosty basin what keepsake do u start with o.o

frosty basin
#

Coin Purse

safe niche
#

oh

frosty basin
#

or ||Pom Blossom||

safe niche
#

sounds good actually hmm

frosty basin
#

Though ||Pom Blossom|| is a risky pick if I want to switch to a god keepsake to guarantee the other half of my build

#

so I have been running coin purse

#

guarantees you can clear final shop if it's a god+Hermes shop, and if not then Golden Touch adds up

cinder pulsar
#

Whenever I don't feel like going for a certain build, I'll just roll with something like the Plume or ||Pom Blossom||

#

The latter in particular has become something of a favorite of mine lately

safe niche
#

i really like forcing builds though, i might give it a try

frosty basin
#

I absolutely love ||Pom Blossom||

#

but I've been trying to not overrely on it as much - mainly to fill out the max all keepsake achievement

safe niche
#

its nice to get free stuff

#

i dont think ill ever max all keepsakes unless i do chill runs ||with low heat||

frosty basin
#

forcing builds is probably a personal preference thing if anything

#

I'm on the side of partial forcing - as I described above, I see what god I get and check the codex for the boons suitable for my current run, then equip a god keepsake for Asphodel or just don't use god keepsakes at all

#

or partial forcing from the get go - usually for the rail because Zeus attack on rail is just too good

#

Though I have been doing Zeus rail less to spice things up

safe niche
#

im loving zeus rail so far

#

but im using ||gy|| now

cinder pulsar
#

Speaking of Zeus boons though, I had his special on shield Chaos aspect earlier

#

It's actually really good

frosty basin
#

always has been thunderfire

#

Try Zeus focus on ||Zeus|| shield

#

especially with the passives for lightning bolts (as opposed to passives for lightning chains) - High Voltage/Double Strike

#

Splitting Bolt is just icing on the cake

leaden whale
#

guys what does dark foresight exactly do ?

#

what is that globe thingy

#

the boons ?

sand bridge
#

there are 2 different categories for doors: blue laurels and gold laurels
blue - darkness, gems, keys, nectar
gold - centaur hearts, poms, boons, hammers.
dark foresight increases the chance to get gold laurel doors (and therefore decreases the chance to get blue laurel doors)

leaden whale
#

I see, thanks.

#

Hi guys! I am thinking of buying hades, will it run on a lower-end system?

there are system requirements written on the Steam store page.

also, do you need to have lost health for ||than|| to spawn? the wiki says so but i saw another discussion on here that said it wasn't necessary

@bright sable if theres only one heart left but no lock you need to give them ambrosia

fiery monolith
#

Is ||aspect of poseidon|| any good? any tips/useful boons for it?

harsh leaf
#

Probably the "best" sword. Any cast that lodges in the enemy is fantastic, but particularly Artemis Cast

hot yoke
#

Best is debatable lol but I'd certainly say the easiest to play/clear with

fiery monolith
#

alright will try that

hot yoke
#

Make sure to go for exit wounds and the parting shot duo

fiery monolith
#

I got exit wounds pog

hot yoke
#

Throw some poms at that and your cast
Beeg damage

#

Also chaos and hermes boons related to casts are nice obvs

fiery monolith

||Chill|| is a fairly safe option, and even one stack is great at enabling High Privilege thanks to its long duration

foggy sparrow
#

That and Jolted or Weak is great to take advantage of it, yeah

Jolted can be great if you can get the Zeus/||Demeter|| duo, if your Lightning damage isn't applied constantly (ie tied to a rarely-used Special or Cast)

modern pike
#

Are there any guides here on how to beat the final boss? In 70+ attempts I've only managed 3 times....

#

And all of them have been with the gloves lol

fiery monolith
#

Always take athena dash

modern pike
#

Yes, and her call also

fiery monolith
#

I can't help you with gloves; personally I can't stand them

#

I've beaten him 8 times

modern pike
#

They are my fav, I have trouble with long range weapons tbh

sly vigil
#

with fists you kinda need to learn to use the dash i frames

fiery monolith
#

Bow is my favourite, followed closely by gun. Shield is very OP but not as fun to play imo

sly vigil
#

divine dash will help greatly here at final boss

modern pike
#

The bow and gun are troublesome to use for me, try to get better

sly vigil
#

if you can manage, Demeter fists will trememdously help you cleave through bosses

#

if you can't, maybe try the Merciful End build on fists?

modern pike
#

The fists aren't my problem

#

The bow and gun are

sly vigil
#

oh sorry

#

im dumb misread your question

modern pike
#

No worries, all advice is welcome really

sly vigil
#

well, for bow, how often do you dash strike with it?

#

assuming vanilla bow

modern pike
#

Can you?

sly vigil
#

yeah

modern pike
#

I have 3 bows unlocked

sly vigil
#

dash strike lowers your timing for charged power shot

#

so you should always dash strike

#

the animation between dash strike and normal strike is quite subtle but it's there

#

you can test on skelly. anyhow, use dash strike, a lot, to improve your mobility

#

some good boons are Hunter Dash, Deadly Strike, Heartbreak Strike
good hammers are Twin Shot, Triple Shot, Point Blank Shot, Perfect Shot

#

(assuming Zag bow)

modern pike
#

Hmmm, I have been consistently getting all the way to ||Hades lately but only to die there on his second phase||

#

But never thought you could dash strike with bow

sly vigil
#

then you are p close. did you know about the laser trick with Hades?

modern pike
#

Thank you for the advice! And on boons/hammer

#

Nope?

#

What lazer trick?

sly vigil
#

when Hades does the 360 laser attack, instead of diving behind rocks, you can also dive on top of Hades

#

you are completely safe tehre and you can attack him in the meantime

#

the spacing is quite generous

#

just land on top of him

modern pike
#

Oh, wow...no didn't know that

sly vigil
#

yeah try it out! gl

modern pike
#

Thank you again, very generous advice! โค๏ธ

#

I mean, you make a good point CharonSticker

#

What's everyone's thoughts on crystal beam?

merry otter
#

If you get the right build itโ€™s super potent, but imo it just takes a ton of work to work out well

charred scroll
#

I'm pretty sure I need advice on on to strategies for builds in the beginning. Ive done about 20+ runs, haven't beat the bull/minotaur or his dude (not to say Im not having a blast play this game) but I have yet to even get to Hades and I feel like I should be better at this point

#

I apologize for the rant

#

Should I migrate to builds n combat?

#

Got death defiance max out? And the double dash and thick skin too.

merry otter
#

Took me about 50 runs to beat the game for the first time, if it helps

simple fossil
#

Why is double dash better than the potent dash?

merry otter
#

Better movement and 100% dodge chance if you time it right

#

Of course with extra dashes Ruthless Reflex is better but Greater Reflex is honestly a lot more reliable

charred scroll
#

So Im on chamber 26 and I have 4 nectars but already given at least one to everyone I know. Should I still save them to give more or trade them?

#

My bad guys, I don't feel like I'm learning fast enough. Just found out that there are duo boons yet I can't remember the two gods I used

merry otter
#

Nectar can help a ton depending on who you give, if you wanna trade it though then go right ahead

#

Iโ€™d keep at least 5 on me just in case

simple fossil
#

I need to get Thanatos again lol I died on his encounter

#

Thanks for the dash info Iโ€™ll change it and try it out some more

merry otter
#

Also Divine Dash is the best dash in the game if you havenโ€™t already figured that out

charred scroll
#

That is my only fact i know lol

simple fossil
#

oh 100% it is lol

#

I guess that's another case win for the double dash

weak mantle
#

Hi everyone, I'm new here! I don't have any questions, just wanna vent for a little

#

I'm so close...52 runs in and I've gotten so close to beating the final boss

#

It just feels like every time I think I'm doing good (good build, etc.) something stupid trips me up and I'm dead

#

I know It comes down to learning patterns and stuff, but it's just so frustrating being so close and getting beat

harsh leaf
#

Consider turning on God Mode! The devs put it in the game for a reason

sly vigil
#

@weak mantle It happens. If you ever want some tips you can come back here. But you can do it. Good luck.

pine kelp
#

@weak mantle I'm sure you'll get it if you keep trying!

#

you could turn on god mode but if you're getting so close already i dont really think you need to do that

it will feel so much better once you beat him if you do it without god mode

turn on dark foresight tbh

#

wait

#

really?

safe niche
#

yea

jolly frigate
#

why do i get so low then just beating on her in melee

dense laurel
#

what balls?

jolly frigate
#

the projectile spam

dense laurel
#

just go behind her

ivory ocean
#

i go as far away from her as i can and then dodge from there, since it's a lot sparser

#

don't try to attack her during the projectile phase

merry otter
#

If you're using Divine Dash (which you hopefully should be) then the spam is a lot easier to deal with

#

Or any deflect really

dense laurel
#

the triple dash is enough to avoid the cone

leaden whale
#

i see people saying you need to take some damage to spawn ||thanatos|| and people saying it doesn't matter, which is the truth?

#

not the first time

frosty basin
#

Never heard of that

leaden whale
#

ooo alright

#

so all rng then

old skiff
#

Just rng

#

You can get a no hit run and they will appear

hearty ore
#

Does ||shadow slash|| work with ||parting shot||?

tardy oyster
#

when i pick up a skill does it override some skills that i have?

#

or do they stack?

leaden whale
#

Let's say, if you have an attack boon, the next attack boon will override it while increasing rarity

tardy oyster
#

crap

#

i had no idea

#

i've been overriding the entire time

leaden whale
#

Zag tells you, the card also shows both attack boons

tardy oyster
leaden whale
#

What weapon are you running

tardy oyster
#

leaden whale
#

Aspect?

tardy oyster
#

What's an aspect

#

Chaos

leaden whale
#

Ah ok, you'll see after unlocking all weapons. Basically different version of the weapons

#

Well then, I'd go with sprint

tardy oyster
#

#

leaden whale
#

Press "B"

#

It'll open your boon list, you can click on them to highlight

leaden whale
#

hiii I wanted to ask you guys for your opinion!

#

which dash is best for close combat twin fists?

harsh leaf
#

Always Athena, I guess?

leaden whale
#

I keep dying to the ghosts that shoot out a lot of dark balls in Asphodel

harsh leaf
#

Definitely Athena for you in that case

high crest
#

Definitely Athena then

harsh leaf
#

Athena is great in general, especially so for melee builds

leaden whale
#

ah thank you so much!

#

I'll look into her

high crest
#

Iโ€™ve started enjoying Poseidon dash too, but for help with projectiles Athena is great

leaden whale
#

hey just wanted to say

#

the athena dash is amazing

#

thank you guys

dense laurel
#

who coulve thought

harsh leaf
#

Every Hades player discovers Athena Dash for the first time eventually

jagged lantern
#

Hey gamers. I wanna now what should I get at first keepsake for attack build run ? I always pick athena so I can ignore defence by the start. I am pretty new so I think its a good strategy but idk its a true move or not.

uncut parrot
#

Depends on the buikd you're aiming for and the weapon

dense laurel
#

i think he only have stygius

uncut parrot
#

You'd start with the keepsake of the god you want the boon

#

Oh, then he should just stick to cerberus/skelly atm imo

jagged lantern
#

But when I focus the attack from first I always taking damage from something because of that I prefer at first athenas keepsake for dash and then focused to attack damage.

#

I dont have only the stgius

#

I new but not that new.

dense laurel
#

then it depends on the wep

jagged lantern
#

I was always run with malphon but I didnt like the q of the weapon so I switched it to stygiys recently. What do u think ?

dense laurel
#

if using malphon just use zeus/dio or doom if u want to go ME

#

stygius i prefer aphro/dem

jagged lantern
#

hmm

uncut parrot
#

I don't play vanila sword, but I assume you could go for aphro spe, artemis attack and their duo boon

jagged lantern
#

I was trying all the time artemis and athena

#

idk its true or not

uncut parrot
#

@dense laurel not sure he unlocked dem yet

dense laurel
#

i just dont think the critting is worth it rather than just go aphro

#

and doom on special

uncut parrot
#

Athena dash is pretty much always nice

jagged lantern
#

Athena dash is pretty much always nice
@uncut parrot ikr

leaden whale
#

ouch, I've died 20 times and finally got past the bone hydra........ ๐Ÿ˜ข

uncut parrot
#

Grats

jagged lantern
#

@dense laurel not sure he unlocked dem yet
@uncut parrot what unlock sir ?

harsh leaf
#

Demeter

uncut parrot
#

A god, iirc she only appear later in the game

jagged lantern
#

oh I unlock it

leaden whale
#

uhhhh can we romance ||hypnos||?

harsh leaf
#

You're usually better off taking something for damage in Tartarus and then equipping Athena's keepsake in Asphodel for the survivablitiy

dense laurel
#

||No||

jagged lantern
#

I died like 40-45 time and I still cant defeat the Hades I almost tho

leaden whale
#

๐Ÿ˜ข

uncut parrot
#

Spoil the name plz

dense laurel
#

however hypnos ||have a crush on meg so u can do that instead||

jagged lantern
#

You're usually better off taking something for damage in Tartarus and then equipping Athena's keepsake in Asphodel for the survivablitiy
@harsh leaf So I should have the Athenas keepsake for the run

leaden whale
#

awww that's cute!

dense laurel
#

i prefer using shckles in tartarus honestly

uncut parrot
#

You change the keepsake at each region

#

Usually, a run would go something along the lines of god A>god B> purse> acorn

dense laurel
#

why would u use purse that late

uncut parrot
#

More coins for last shop

jagged lantern
#

I did that too

uncut parrot
#

And earlier I d rather shape my build

dense laurel
#

if u use it first, golden touch can give u more

uncut parrot
#

Fair, tbh I inly started using touch recently

dense laurel
#

and shackle seem like a faster option for runs since u acn keep building ur build without getting handicapped in dmg at early phase

jagged lantern
#

so if I want to do a attack damge build, I should focuse the attack boons first then the athena dash

#

is that right ?

uncut parrot
#

That's a possibility yes

harsh leaf
#

so if I want to do a attack damge build, I should focuse the attack boons first then the athena dash
@jagged lantern That's what I said, yes

jagged lantern
#

is that the best possibility tho ?

uncut parrot
#

Depends on your luck, style and needs

harsh leaf
#

You're too new to worry about "best possibilities"

#

Just play the game, figure it out

jagged lantern
#

what is the avarege attempts for beating the Hades

#

Just play the game, figure it out

#

@jagged lantern Some people beat the game on their 10th run, some people cant beat the game after 60+ runs

jagged lantern
#

@jagged lantern Some people beat the game on their 10th run, some people cant beat the game after 60+ runs
@harsh leaf So I didnt understand fully the boon combos exc. after 40 attempt is it normal ? If its not I will search and then play the game.

dense laurel
#

jagged lantern
#
