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
by leave the reroll you mean dont level it until the rest of the stuff is maxed?
yep
if you use the shop a lot I'd say it's worth it
its good as a start run
I got 80 on it right now and it's useful
to get an early upgrade

i want titan blood man
@drifting ivy You can buy it in Charon ||Styx Temple shop|| if you have enough strong will to save gold
@drifting ivy You can buy it in Charon ||Styx Temple shop|| if you have enough strong will to save gold
If you do, run golden touch

how much heat gauge does it give when adding to a point for Extreme Measures?
||depends on the level||
now i see
||4 for lvl 4||
lets say for example, i have 2 heat gauges that have unclaimed rewards. Do my rewards +4 when I go 6 heat gauge?
no, I don't think so
no you get the lowest rewards
||you only get one reward, and it acts as the reward for clearing the lower heat gauge||
You always get the rewards for your lowest unclaimed bounty
:(
so if you run at heat 4, but you haven't claimed heat 2 bounties, you get bounties for heat 2
but it's good practice
that is a decisiononly you can make
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
||Heat|| is spoilers in this channel, please use spoiler tags ^_^
@gusty atlas @random gazelle
sorry, the convo was unspoilered when I came in
@normal arrow
oh, i my bad, I'll keep that in mind
whoops, sorry about that

||heyho, new hades player here. I allready killed Hades 3 times but i have a real problem in the last area, when i get poisened. Is there a way to get rid of it except killing everything?||
a) ||last boss is a spoiler, use tags|| b) there's little wells in the ground that glow, touch them
to clear poison
yes ^^ there will be 1 or 2 per room
ah ok ty^^ and sorry for the spoiler ( i mean its the name of the game ^.^ how do i use tags?
you put || on either side ofd the message.
try it out
allready did it
guys is here any way to farm megera reputation for companion faster ? i try start run and die, but she dosnt appeared
Riens: Have you had her appear the first time?
i have 120+ runs still no meg
after that it's random
yea i have 3 hearth with her
wait
Tag ||companion|| pls
luckily, unlike some of the others, she's not blocked on other things
how do u force the first time
|| she doesn't show up in house of hades until you beat her the first time ||
oh
am i supposed to be this bad lmao
you're probably better than me
i thought there was a way to force her to enter ur room and collect her stuff
u get better with practice
i got like 3 levels past meg and i cant get back there LOL
and picking the right boons help a lot
i will try more death runs will see if this work
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?
yo i watched some guy beat it in 20 minutes with deflect boon dont tell me i need more boons ๐
i feel like normal bow isn't too good
look at how many boons it took him to get that
@safe niche I have tried with ||hera and chiron too||
||chiron is the worst for me ||
hmm
wasnn't sure if aspects were spoiled
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
Chiron is positioning
Hera depends on the casts
4th is very close range and timing based
thats wack
Well obvs it's bad then
cos u dont need to dash attack with chiron
@safe niche but it's still a good thing to do
all of them are bad for me
dont think u need positioning for chiron
its good but not necessary
I meaaaaaan. You don't need pristine positioning to beat the game with Chiron
If you're too close, far or at a weird angle the special won't hit properly
but fundamentally it is a positioning weapon
F.e. In the mini styx rooms it's very iffy
since you can backstab enemies really well with the special
u can play it like a melee weapon or a ranged weapon really
and output dps very safely
only the styx rooms it gets troublesome
If your too close it won't hit all arrows reliably
because I am struggling with it 100% more than I am w/ the spear or sword, or even fist
yea i find that annoying
hmm
I'm trying to ask what I'm not understanding
I really like chiron
so telling me to just not use it is counterproductive
are you doing attack -> special -> special?
no?
u can special 3 times if enemy doesnt run away
attack-> special -> dash -> dash -> die
IMO that's how to use chiron
from a safe distance, attack to tag -> special -> special
A huge part of chiron is knowing when you can safely use the special
You have big end lag
actually dashing in between is better
F.e. when asterius jumps and you do a special shortly before you take damage
true true
yea
@safe niche maybe for you/us it's natural but not for shadow
i mean
So we'll need to be a bit more thorough
i get hit when spamming lol
but thats the general combo for mobs
they dont hit fast enough
It's a general part of chiron
More so with bosses
everything hits too fast for me
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
@gusty atlas do you like athena dash? I think I wouldn't have won most of my runs without it
How many runs have you done with the bow?
idk
Would you say a lot?
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.
Tbf there's bound to be a weapons you struggle with
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, is the bow as a weapon not working for you or a specific aspect?
bow as a weapon
Fists at higher ||heat|| are giving me a headache
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?
Have you tried turning on autoaim?
autoaim is on
you still have to point in almost the right direction for it to kick in
Not if you're close enough
well, if i'm close enough didn't dash away now did I?
You can still dash and be close enough to the enemy
I wouldn't say i understand dash enough to manipulate that, since I still endu p in lava 80% of the time
Just have to look for the enemies' white flash (telegraph for attack) and dodge then
I mean dash length
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
@sour kite I can't get past ||heat 0||
Do you have the mirror upgrade that gives you more dashes?
Egg: Yes
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
@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
||I beat 32 for the first time last night with Chiron||, it's just practice
I'm not saying it can't be done
to use dash strike to tag, and special with the distance earned
I'm saying I danot' know what I don't understand
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
I can't see the way you're playing so I can't offer direct coaching there
That way you can deal damage from a distance and not worry about having to get super close to the action
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
if they are up in your face you need to empty dash for safety
because it hurts my head
and I've been trying for months to explain why I don't understand dash-strike bow
There's still the option of using the special more than the attack 
I mean I'm a KBM player so there's some stuff I can't say for sure
i physically can't use kbm
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
Idk same for me with controller more or less
It's a playstyle you have to adapt to
the only other thing I can suggest is watching some high level Chiron runs
and watch their movement
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||
what you find overwhelming is different than what I find overwhelming, obviously
Well yeah but if he is to help you maybe provide some info
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
Am I the only person that really dislikes the Rail
i didnt like it at first
The railgun definitely is a lower ranked weapon for me in terms of enjoyment
then i used zeus attack and i love it now
Eris is another annoyance for me, but taht's a problem for another day
Having to reload is not satisfying
@thick maple are you perhaps playing on controller?
Yes
honestly if hestia cut your ammo to 1 and eliminated the reload button it'd be very interesting
Reload to L
Hiyo
That's a good idea I'll try a rebind
Rail has arguably one of if not the strongest aspects as of current knowledge
I guess wrong channel to be discussing it
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.
I love the gun

@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
I find it harder to deal with flamewheels with the sword than with the bow, personally
@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
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
and I fundamanteally don't understand that
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
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
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
isn't bow dash just the shot, but you're moving while you take it?
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
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
bow dash atk got faster charge iirc
so it's fundamentally different in a way that I have found impossible to hold in my head
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?
yes
well that must make it a lot trickier
just use autoaim
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
Ah, well, I use mouse and keyboard
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
none of the other weapons have this problem, only bow
well, and lob in general, so dio cast and rail special
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
so eris rail is, as I mentioned, another issue
actually, by auto aim, if u stop moving ur stick, it aims itself
@dense laurel really
because getting into the special is a good way to walk into a trap
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
I still think it'd be worth spending some time with Skelly just getting dash strike down
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
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
if u want to practice dash strike, try hidden glove
I have not wanted to spend any blood
tbh
to unlock most hiddens
been very reluctant
hidden weps is mostly, high reward high risk weps, except hidden sword i guess
there's some risk to it. ๐ just less compared to the others
"less"
||it's slow! still faster than bow||
what about excepting hidden gun
its lower atk speed is fixed by the aura dmg reduction and high dmg
assuming you can stay in it
hidden gun is more set up time than normal rail
which, admittedly I had a hard time w/
I dunno if I'd call it high risk high reward though
it's fair
It's definitely transformative in a cool way
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...||
u can make status curse towers with hidden rail, it just traded that off from the instant bombing stuff
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
I think it's just more generic to say for all hidden weapons, that they have downsides compensated by upsides
so the potential dmg is slower
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 ||
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
||spear risk/rewardi is much clearer to me, but those are the only two I have any reasonable knowledge of||
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
I feel like I don't wanna dive deeper into them until I have more clears under my belt tbh
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
using hidden spear unleveled is a mistake in the first place
Unless you're a masochist
or just want to farm dialogues
although it has to be said the masochism won't last long
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.||
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 isnโt a huge deal when you can block imo
Hello everyone! Just started Hades here! Super stoke and its so sickkk!
Thanks man! Still getting a hang of the controls. hahaa!
Welcome :D
so how many floors is there before i come to the final boss
||Tatarus, Asphodel, Elysium, Styx, Final Boss||
This game has so many things
I canโt 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
ive made it to end of elysium
@leaden whale Do you mean Teseu?
good luck man
Teseu is a pain
along with that guy jamming his spears
I think mino isnโt as bad as when the spear guy asks for Aphroditeโs help
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
okay
Also, I highly recomend having Poseidon, Ares or Zeus on the dash for this one.
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
What's a good introductory build for the shield ? also, which aspect works well ?
It makes the bow really tricky
@soft ridge maybe try turning off aim assist i find it annoying on kbm
What's a good introductory build for the shield ? also, which aspect works well ?
@patent horizon Aspect of Zeus, for sure.
with zeus boons ? ๐
@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"
you're welcome
will hades be updated even if its realised?
Itโs both released and has been updated post release
cool beans
I kinda doubt there will be significant new content but weโve gotten a round of balance tweaks
Unlikely to happen
Does having the ||pierced butterfly||equipped increase the chances of seeing ||Thanatos,||or is it purely random?
It's just random
Someone told me that you need to be below 100% HP for him to spawn though. I don't have a source, however.
K, ty both!
If you stop wanting him to pop up he'll pop up more-100% proven all the time ask Bouldy 
^^^ Can confirm
I finally beat the final boss :D
Grats!

I have a newfound appreciation for ||achilles|| aspect
It gets a ton of mileage out of high-impact casts that donโt lodge themselves in foes, such as crystal clarity or hunting blades
That's pretty much exactly what it's for. There's not enough charges to make it super worthwhile with attack builds.
It gives you one combo pretty much
Itโs ok, but high base damage casts really get the most out of it
anyone feel like their sets get super sloppy whenever you try to use family favorites
cuz i cannot clear this round lol
Can anyone explain what dark foresight does
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
I kinda naturally let family favorites do its thing
so does it increase the chance you seem Poms and stuff or does it increase the rewards from those chambers
just the chance you see them in the gates, yeah
It increases the chance of chamber rewards bejng good stuff like boons
although if u have certain contractor upgrades you might not want that (key rewards giving persuasion dice or nectar giving boon upgrades)
Even with that the rewards it forces are much, much better

Imo the B side is the clear winner tho
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
ooh
Thank you for that
I thought Daedalus was also a min of 2 per run
how much escape attempt for me to ||enter the administrative chamber?||
no no, I dont mean again
?
I mean how much attempt for me to sleep and then ||have my Hades take me in for some work the first time||
idk
:(
alright then
it will just happen
if anybody knows the answer, pls ping me c:
I think it took me a dozen or so tries?
But that's just from my poor memory
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
how do I ||unlock the last aspect of a weapon?||
do story
oh, is that it? alright then
most of them yes
i havent unlocked all of them
so i just got like 3 just by doing story so
the rest idk
alright, thanks for the info
@random gazelle There's a pinned comment in #h1-story-discussion
It doesn't have to do with story at all
oh, thank you very much
@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
should i get delta chamber or flury fire?
Infinite fire>Faster and a bit more fire imo
alr
how do you ||train with the lyre?||
Ugh. ||Theseus|| just killed me again
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. ||
hmm alright then
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.
Do you have all the weapons? Do you like faster weapons, slower? Up close or further away?
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
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
How would you build those? Artemis/aphro?
Aphro attack and Artemis special for crit
Yep, that's a solid strat
Mmm okay, I will try that sounds fun
this field of grey default profile pics lol
anyways, eris rail with either lightning strike or drunken strike
any way to get hermes boons to spawn
They'll never spawn before Asphodel is my understanding, barring inside Charon's shop
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
I can't say for absolute certain but I'm fairly convinced he can also be offered in the Tartarus mid-shop.
just got my first finish
i didnt realise i could uprage the mirror
i had 50 keys and 2k darkness
upgrade*
yeh finished first time after doing it
id been using spiked collar for hp aswell fml
any idea when I get the ||Daedalus hammer entry in the codex||
what
daedalus is an in run upgrade bro
the hammer isn't part of the codex
i didnt realise i could uprage the mirror
wait, at least you got the Death Defiance stuff right?
uprage
I would not suggest making the mirror mad
oh yeh id maxxed out all the stuff on there already
just hadnt unlocked any of the extra buffs
I kindda confuse what chill effect do? Slow tasget right?
how do I check escape attempts and the first time i successfully escaped?
after a while you will be given the option from your contractor to regain access to the admin chamber
Thereโs a place in the west hall that unlocks that option but you have to progress farther into the story
It costs a few diamonds
ooohh, got it, thanks!
some a lot of story related stuff in there and two cabinets which shows your run statistics
do you guys try to go for certain builds or just have a rough idea and see how ya go
personally, 50/50
Really depends on how I feel at the time
usually I see what gods I get then start to plan a build around what gods I get
and if i use the trinket thing do i always get the boon from that god at the start
If I'm not feeling it, I switch to god keepsakes
Usually I take and alternate between different god keepsakes
if i use the primordial egg, do i get a higher chance of chaos
Not really
it doesn't say so so I assume not
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
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
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
Coin Purse
oh
or ||Pom Blossom||
sounds good actually hmm
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
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
i really like forcing builds though, i might give it a try
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
its nice to get free stuff
i dont think ill ever max all keepsakes unless i do chill runs ||with low heat||
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
Speaking of Zeus boons though, I had his special on shield Chaos aspect earlier
It's actually really good
always has been 
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
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)
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.
minimal and recommended
hi, i just got to the || main story ending ||. right now i'm just continuing runs for each weapon and adding ||heat||, but is there something i should be focusing on/grinding first?
@leaden whale I would recommend increasing your affinity with Olympian Gods and ||mother|| ๐
@leaden whale there is ||a post credits epilogue chapter||
@leaden whale I would recommend increasing your affinity with Olympian Gods and ||mother|| ๐
this is referring to ||keepsakes||, or something more?
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
@leaden whale I'm referring to what Novadil mentioned, and you'll have to ||give them Nectars until a lock appears, then pay attention to their conversations.||
Got offered ||2 duos at once|| which should I take out of ||Vengeful mood|| and ||Sea storm||?
Depends
Would you rather your revenge pops without you getting hit periodically or have lightning strike enemies you knock back?
Do the hearts have a lock on them?
yes i'm talking about that
@bright sable if theres only one heart left but no lock you need to give them ambrosia
Is ||aspect of poseidon|| any good? any tips/useful boons for it?
Probably the "best" sword. Any cast that lodges in the enemy is fantastic, but particularly Artemis Cast
Best is debatable lol but I'd certainly say the easiest to play/clear with
alright will try that
Make sure to go for exit wounds and the parting shot duo
I got exit wounds pog
Throw some poms at that and your cast
Beeg damage
Also chaos and hermes boons related to casts are nice obvs
yeah I have a damage cast chaos one
I'm going to switch to the aphrodite keepsake
Best of luck

@hot yoke check #h1-victory-boasting
is the chill effect any good?
Yes
for what?
Well good we're on the same terms then
Why does that sound like a threat ๐


||Chill|| is a fairly safe option, and even one stack is great at enabling High Privilege thanks to its long duration
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)
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
Always take athena dash
Yes, and her call also
I can't help you with gloves; personally I can't stand them
I've beaten him 8 times
They are my fav, I have trouble with long range weapons tbh
with fists you kinda need to learn to use the dash i frames
Bow is my favourite, followed closely by gun. Shield is very OP but not as fun to play imo
divine dash will help greatly here at final boss
The bow and gun are troublesome to use for me, try to get better
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?
No worries, all advice is welcome really
Can you?
yeah
I have 3 bows unlocked
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)
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
then you are p close. did you know about the laser trick with Hades?
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
Oh, wow...no didn't know that
yeah try it out! gl
Thank you again, very generous advice! โค๏ธ
So.... Taking ||Charon's gold|| was a mistake
Wdym itโs ||free 300 gold|| 
If you get the right build itโs super potent, but imo it just takes a ton of work to work out well
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.
Took me about 50 runs to beat the game for the first time, if it helps
Why is double dash better than the potent dash?
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
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
Nectar can help a ton depending on who you give, if you wanna trade it though then go right ahead
Iโd keep at least 5 on me just in case
I need to get Thanatos again lol I died on his encounter
Thanks for the dash info Iโll change it and try it out some more
Also Divine Dash is the best dash in the game if you havenโt already figured that out
That is my only fact i know lol
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
Consider turning on God Mode! The devs put it in the game for a reason
@weak mantle It happens. If you ever want some tips you can come back here. But you can do it. Good luck.
@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
I mean as long as you don't have your mirror setup I can see a small merit in the increased amount of ressources aquired without df
Update: I did it! I finally beat him
I got a pretty strong build going with the Rail and some Heroic offensive boons and I was able to beat him
nice
ancient greece vs gun
is reward rarity affected by which u choose first in duo boon rooms?
Nope
Also they're called trials
Calling it duo might lead to some confusion cause of the duo boons
Can you not get quests until after you start using Titan blood? I'm 50+ runs in with some heat 1 runs completed and have nectar'd several people to max
tips for dealing with megs aoe? i keep getting walled by her, fights fine but i struggle without deflect
fight until aoe is fine*
u mean the big aoe in a circle that she charges up?
no, the balls
i can beat it consistantly with spear but can't with anything else
attacks destroy projectiles
yea
why do i get so low then just beating on her in melee
what balls?
the projectile spam
just go behind her
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
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
the triple dash is enough to avoid the cone
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
Never heard of that
Does ||shadow slash|| work with ||parting shot||?
Let's say, if you have an attack boon, the next attack boon will override it while increasing rarity
Zag tells you, the card also shows both attack boons
so what would i choose here?https://gyazo.com/689ce41f3c94e34771d10f2c36cfc965
What weapon are you running
bow
Aspect?
Ah ok, you'll see after unlocking all weapons. Basically different version of the weapons
Well then, I'd go with sprint
hiii I wanted to ask you guys for your opinion!
which dash is best for close combat twin fists?
Always Athena, I guess?
I keep dying to the ghosts that shoot out a lot of dark balls in Asphodel
Definitely Athena for you in that case
Definitely Athena then
Athena is great in general, especially so for melee builds
Iโve started enjoying Poseidon dash too, but for help with projectiles Athena is great
who coulve thought
Every Hades player discovers Athena Dash for the first time eventually
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.
Depends on the buikd you're aiming for and the weapon
i think he only have stygius
You'd start with the keepsake of the god you want the boon
Oh, then he should just stick to cerberus/skelly atm imo
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.
then it depends on the wep
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 ?
if using malphon just use zeus/dio or doom if u want to go ME
stygius i prefer aphro/dem
hmm
I don't play vanila sword, but I assume you could go for aphro spe, artemis attack and their duo boon
@dense laurel not sure he unlocked dem yet
i just dont think the critting is worth it rather than just go aphro
and doom on special
Athena dash is pretty much always nice
Athena dash is pretty much always nice
@uncut parrot ikr
ouch, I've died 20 times and finally got past the bone hydra........ ๐ข
Grats
@dense laurel not sure he unlocked dem yet
@uncut parrot what unlock sir ?
Demeter
A god, iirc she only appear later in the game
oh I unlock it
uhhhh can we romance ||hypnos||?
You're usually better off taking something for damage in Tartarus and then equipping Athena's keepsake in Asphodel for the survivablitiy
||No||
I died like 40-45 time and I still cant defeat the Hades I almost tho
๐ข
Spoil the name plz
however hypnos ||have a crush on meg so u can do that instead||
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
awww that's cute!
i prefer using shckles in tartarus honestly
You change the keepsake at each region
Usually, a run would go something along the lines of god A>god B> purse> acorn
why would u use purse that late
More coins for last shop
I did that too
And earlier I d rather shape my build
if u use it first, golden touch can give u more
Fair, tbh I inly started using touch recently
and shackle seem like a faster option for runs since u acn keep building ur build without getting handicapped in dmg at early phase
so if I want to do a attack damge build, I should focuse the attack boons first then the athena dash
is that right ?
That's a possibility yes
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
is that the best possibility tho ?
Depends on your luck, style and needs

@jagged lantern Some people beat the game on their 10th run, some people cant beat the game after 60+ runs
@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.
isnt there a turkish settings in the game @jagged lantern
isnt there a turkish settings in the game @jagged lantern
@dense laurel no :'^(
I generally understand the story and exc. but sometimes its get complicated because there is like so much mystic term
I will try for the attack damge boons at first then the Athena dash got it. I will try it thx for the help guys.
What is the best ||hidden aspect|| to invest in unlocking after ||Arthur||?
Mostly personal
^

al so what is the best keepsake thingy
@analog radish You're way, way, waaaay too new to worry about the "best" anything
wel i look att thing and non of them seem good
I recommend Spiked Collar for new players
...
I'm getting a headache
but what u use
Everything
I'm getting a headache
@hot yoke Please explain why collar is more of a crutch than Athena Dash, go!
use it for a bit until you unlock thickskin. the collar
Arent you though 
waht is athena dash and what is thick skinn
Maybe try to let go of past arguments
collar is for nerds, real men go high confidence with hidden spear

waht is athena dash and what is thick skinn
@analog radish Oh no. Oh no no no
awaht is a hidden spear
What about other pronouns?
yes idk what stuf is
Leave this place and play the game more
its a spear that is hiddden
yes click everywhere
or do u
i have aproximetly half a brain sell
What's your native language?
shell*
Writing like Tammy=funny
Don't you know?
whos tammy
i like how no one anserd my question is what i shoudl use for keepsake
Use all of them and decide for yourself ๐
Experiment yourself first
also can u get one from givving hades a nactor tingy
i did one and its locked now
so i asume not
Dont worry about that
idk
i have used collor alot and i want to change it
but like other ones r weard in that they dont give that much buff
also wich god is the best
i asume its athena
wel like athena is realy good
Certain gods excel at other things
and like aphrodiaty is like not very in my poinion
There are boons that are good aside from builds
lol
But generally every god has their niche
I am beginning to think that you're too young to be on the internet ๐
and like aphrodiaty is like not very in my poinion
@analog radish get out of that mindset if you're playing hades
i think it good agengst shild
@analog radish get out of that mindset if you're playing hades
@hot yoke waht do u mena
what am i reaiding
ares bad
what am i reaiding
@dense laurel What appears to be a drunk 12 year old
k i gess
Every god has good and bad boons and build dependent ones
is posidon god
@analog radish real question we have to ask
ares bad
@safe niche Counterpoint: Ares good!
waht about wepons now do u use the gun
@analog radish You shoot things until they die
Chad reasons
Because he looks cool, duh
Fraternity related stuff
