Someone can tell me what does the ambrosia?

hot yoke
#

It's like nectar+

#

If you gift enough nectar to people there will be a ||locked heart||

#

After some dialogue triggers you'll have to go a quest for them which shows up as a prophecy, except for the gods afaik
Then you can gift ambrosia

#

Also it's for leveling something you may be getting out of maxing certain relationships

digital sparrow
#

there are things that seem to be piercing (go through normal foes) like the bow attack that are blocked by shields. any further insight?

gray haven
#

No, it's pretty much what you said lol. m pretty sure all the hammers that have piercing are unblockable at least. Maybe m missing one.

hot yoke
digital sparrow
#

oh looks like the wiki makes a distinction between piercing and unblockable

sleek sonnet
#

any recommendations for a good exagryph build

hot yoke
#

Depends on the aspect

digital sparrow
#

zeus attack good in general due to fast attack speed

leaden whale
#

guys if i take off the cerberus safekeep will i lose health or just max health

#

i have like 113/212 health or smth will it become 113/60

#

160*

wheat pecan
#

Cerberus Keepsake increases your max health pool

#

oh "take off" LOL I misread

#

it just drops the extra25-50 bonus HP the keepsake gives you

#

depending on keepsake level

#

so it would be 212 - 25 = 187 (if keepsake Level 1)

edgy halo
#

||whats the easiest heat 8 i can do||

sly vigil
#

TD1, BP1, CF1, MM, UC

#

That should be 8 I think

#

You can substitute some points for DC, too, depending on weapon.

harsh leaf
#

EM2 is easier than any 3 of that (save TD)

floral nacelle
#

EM2 only alters two boss battles and nothing else

#

Plus it’s the fun kind of difficulty modifier

hushed mist
#

any tips on the theseus and minotaur fight?i managed to pass it once cause i had some good athena buffs but now im on my 12th attempt and cant pass it anymore i already know their movesets but its just rly overwhelming when fighting them

upbeat mason
#

you want to get the bull first. if you have a reticle on your head try to hide behind a pillar

#

the bull's attack pattern is three swings to a axe slam

#

you want to attack him after the axe slam

hushed mist
#

yeah i try to but i still die to the dude

upbeat mason
#

oh

#

the dude constantly has a shield up, but he'll walk away from you after he attacks

#

that's when you attack

hushed mist
#

when i go behind pillars i usually dodge too far or if i try to walk to make sure im behind the pillar the minotaur gets me

floral nacelle
#

You need to backstab the dude

upbeat mason
#

oh

#

try to dodge from behind one pillar to the other

hushed mist
#

oh

thick prism
#

as long as you can keep an eye on the minotaur its not the worst idea to target theseus in my experiences

hushed mist
#

idk its the second phase thats also yk >.> and i can barely dodge their normal attacks lmao

dense laurel
#

yea focusing on theseus allows you to finish the battle faster

hushed mist
#

maybe im just rushing?i saw some people saying they beat the game in 18 attempts and took them around 15 hours and i have almost 30 in 7 hours

#

but then spending a lot of time on a boss battle and then still losing it

#

.>

upbeat mason
#

you kind of need to play slower for that fight, yeah

thick prism
#

comparing yourself to others is never a good idea, just relax and keep at it

upbeat mason
#

don't worry too much about it, they're a bigger difficulty spike than the actual final boss imo, its normal to be stuck there

hushed mist
#

yea guess i just got used to being aggressive on meg and hydra since theyre not as taxing

sly vigil
#

And I hate that playstyle. If you want easy win, take shield, hide in a corner and just spam special

#

But I don't like that style so yeah

floral nacelle
#

Try to have some form of god call for theseus’s second phase

#

I like Artemis call for oneshotting him then, but you could also try Aphrodite to charm them into damaging each other

visual kite
#

feeling like a demigod rn

#

beat the bone hydra first try and got to theseus on my first time in elysium

sly vigil
#

nice

leaden whale
#

good stuff

wide inlet
#

Hello how do i get the shield chaos aspect ( i dont have any aspect btw )

leaden whale
#

unlock all weapons, then skelly should tell you sometime later

#

after that you walk up to the desired weapon, equip it, then use equip again to open up the aspects menu. Unlocking and upgrading aspects require titan blood

#

For shield I'd reccomend hanging with the default aspect in the early game, the other need some leveling which takes like 2-3 titan blood per level, maximum level is 4

wide inlet
#

I am sorry I dont totally understand
How do I get the chaos one i just unlock all weapon and I have it?

#

Also I can only unlock to the spear one

#

I cant have the gun and the other oen

leaden whale
#

what do you mean you can only unlock the spear one? You mean the 4th hidden aspect ||Guan Yu|| for the spear?

leaden whale
leaden whale
#

i find that playing slow helps a lot since you don't really know your enemies yet

wide inlet
#

i bought the spear but i still cant see all weapon why?

#

that means i cant get aspect yet right?

leaden whale
#

but then again people play differently HinaThink

floral nacelle
#

I find Aphrodite and Athena really help

#

Aphrodite so the enemies don’t hurt you as much, Athena for her dash which’ll help you deflect projectiles

wide inlet
#

anyone can help me please

leaden whale
#

i believe you need to unlock all weapons to get aspect

#

but i forgot if you needed to do something to make the rest appear

wide inlet
#

okok

floral nacelle
#

I think you need to unlock the weapons with keys sequentially

wide inlet
#

I only want chaos shield aspect too

#

idk how to get this one specificly

floral nacelle
#

Then one more run after that, Skelly should tell you

wide inlet
#

okok

floral nacelle
#

You get basically all the non hidden aspects at the same time once you unlock all weapons

wide inlet
#

oh so chaos

#

is a non hiden?

#

one

floral nacelle
#

Well, an option to unlock them rather, you still need titan blood

#

Yes

wide inlet
#

so for now

#

i should play with all weapon

#

and beat the 2 first boss

#

wioth each

#

till i get aspect right?

floral nacelle
#

You don’t necessarily have to play with every weapon, just get enough keys to unlock them

wide inlet
#

i mean to progress faster

floral nacelle
#

But yeah, getting more titan blood would be good

wide inlet
#

i assume upgrading is better

#

ok titan is only from first boss or no

#

bcs i feel i get diamond on 2nd boss

floral nacelle
#

Some aspects are fairly strong with only one level, others need to be maxed out for power

#

Once you beat the game once you’ll get more ways of getting titan blood

wide inlet
#

okok

dense laurel
#

you get blood from prophecies, first and final boss

wide inlet
#

i got to the third last rboss i think

#

where its minotaur and ther spear dude

#

but its so hard

dense laurel
#

third boss dont gib blood dont worry

leaden whale
#

make use of the pillars to block their attacks

wide inlet
#

I do

#

but it was hard

floral nacelle
#

Go for the Minotaur first

wide inlet
#

i only got 1 try too

#

okok

boreal plank
#

Question. I can only have one active aspect right?

digital grove
#

Yeah you choose one before you start the run

boreal plank
#

Alrighty. Thank you friend!

spiral topaz
#

LETS GO BOY I GOT THE GAME

supple linden
#

woooo

#

nwo beat it

spiral topaz
#

I need to install it first :V

proper lance
#

Can some one tell me please what colour dose ur controller light up when u plugin and play Hades (PS4 controller)

leaden whale
#

Hi guys, I've just unlocked all of the weapons on the switch, what is my next priority to unlock?

upbeat mason
#

mirror

#

and upgrading your favorite weapon

proud yoke
#

I got the game yesterday... before it went on sale🙂

#

Still worth it

leaden whale
#

^me too sldkdlflsd i was impatient

proud yoke
#

So far I like all the weapons apart from the sword

#

Not had much luck with it

dense laurel
#

get the hidden sword

proud yoke
#

I like the shield but I think it’s ability to block makes me worse using other weapons 😆

leaden whale
#

i only like the sword that isn't played like sword

proud yoke
#

🤔 What

leaden whale
#

||poseidon aspect||

#

you build on your cast

proud yoke
#

Interesting

#

My first spear run went really well but I think it was only because of how lucky I got

#

Basically every boon, hammer.. went into attack as well as range

#

So I could “melee” stuff almost off screen

wide inlet
#

I love spear

shell panther
#

I didn't really like it at first but since the game encouraged me to I used the ||gun|| and got my first win with it

spice spear
#

shield is good weapon if you cant dodge
like me

analog radish
#

helllllrrp

hasty valve
analog radish
#

i dont need help

#

i was typing hello

#

and yes

hasty valve
#

I've only one clear on hell mode but I think I've got a good understanding of the game

analog radish
#

that happend

hasty valve
#

oh

#

all well

shell panther
#

this might be weird but does someone want to play with me?

#

like play separately but together hahahahaha

analog radish
#

yes?

#

what would be fun

#

acutaly

#

but ur gonna not exest anymore because thats now this server works

rose marten
#

how to intentionally hide the mouse cursor

#

cuz that messes up my special aim on rail (i only use keyboard controls at the moment)

analog radish
#

guys

#

is tooth like a death difience

#

or is it just a healing thing

valid burrow
#

It is essentially another death defiance

#

Very good for getting your first few clears

floral nacelle
#

It’s a death defiance that restores a fixed amount

#

If you still have three DDs, collar is better, hp wise

sly vigil
#

if you are having troubles with boss fights, I would recommend taking Acorn over Tooth.

#

You will get more effective HP that way

valid burrow
#

Acorn is very good

harsh leaf
#

Also, Acorn does something every single boss fight. Tooth does something ONCE, and only at the very, very end

leaden whale
#

the only problem i have with bossfights is my health is basically nothing when i arrive

#

like 2 rooms earlier i have 85 health and one trial of the gods later and i have 5

gaunt kernel
#

what's a decent build to get past the final boss? I mainly use Varatha but if there's something better i'd use it. I have most of the god keepsakes besides Zeus and Demeter

sly vigil
#

Most of the time the reward isn't worth it as you can't get duos boons out the trials

leaden whale
#

oh

sly vigil
#

maybe if you want a specific legendary, but still

leaden whale
#

that sucks

gaunt kernel
#

my main build is artemis attack + aphrodite special + serrated point

leaden whale
#

poseidon is my favourite characther

floral nacelle
#

Either learn the patterns in trials or just avoid them

leaden whale
#

i like a lot of his boons too

#

i probably will avoid them in the future

floral nacelle
#

And in trials, try to anger the god who you think will be easier to deal with

#

Because Aphrodite is brutal

sly vigil
#

For final boss, when I first started, I like taking the Rail and look for some Bomb hammer

leaden whale
#

in my case i angered artemis and those circles were so annoying

sly vigil
#

Things such as hazard bomb, triple bomb, etc. with Artemis Special can help greatly at boss fights

leaden whale
#

so ill take notes

indigo shore
#

artemis + rockets + triple bomb is very very fun

#

was critting for 3Kish per special

#

on rail**

sly vigil
#

Artemis + Rockets + Cluster at point blank can melt pretty much anything.

leaden whale
#

the weapon i use the most is probably aigis

#

especially when i get the boon to make it ricochet 4 times

#

then i really like aigis

sly vigil
#

16:16 mark

leaden whale
#

quick question

indigo shore
#

splash dash putting in the work too o7

leaden whale
#

is poseidons dash the best one?

indigo shore
#

poseidon for damage

#

athena for safety? ig

sly vigil
#

in term of damage, Tidal Dash + Seastorm is hard to beat but using it requires finesse due to the knockback

#

though most people like Athena for the safety, which also happens to be my second favorite, after Hunter Dash

leaden whale
#

i mean its really useful when im rushing in to keep most enemies away from me and then i just use my special to finish them off

#

i dont know about that i got athena like once

floral nacelle
#

When is hunter dash good?

sly vigil
#

try athena and dashing into projectiles

#

it feels great

floral nacelle
#

I never take artemis’s dash

sly vigil
floral nacelle
#

Try Athena and getting hermes’ +dash boon

sly vigil
#

more specifically: Nemesis Sword, Hades Spear, Zag Shield, Zag Bow, 4th aspect Bow, Hestia Rail

leaden whale
#

what weapon do you guys use usually?

sly vigil
#

all of them 😄

indigo shore
#

^^^

floral nacelle
#

I rotate, but I favor melee weapons like the fists and sword

leaden whale
#

i honestly like most of them except the spear

floral nacelle
#

I have trouble with the bow

leaden whale
#

the shield is my most used probably

leaden whale
#

but i had a couple of good bow runs

sly vigil
leaden whale
#

i did almost 100 damage with aphrodites bow upgrade

#

i might have used a pomegranate on it too i dont remember

sly vigil
#

yeah bow can get some pretty good damage

leaden whale
#

im really close to getting the gauntlets and im pretty sure im gonna like them

spice spear
#

I got question
What aspect for shield is better?

sly vigil
#

All is good. Byt starting out I would suggest Chaos if you have enough Titan Blood to get it to at least 3 levels.

vale hinge
#

My fav weapon with no many hours playing is the sword with zeus upgrades if possible its broken and the fists.Im soo new player i just passed the hydra ''boss''

#

this game is perfection

sly vigil
#

Glad you are having fun!

#

There are more "broken" builds you will see, too.

vale hinge
#

i see i havent seen anything yet im watching streams and zagreus getting mad after long hours playing 😛

#

My friend recently recommended hades to me and i really enjoy it so far. I'm already 30 attempts in and I was wondering, is there a purpose to giving gods nectars after they give you an item

leaden whale
#

Just friendship

floral nacelle
#

story, friendship

proud yoke
#

I finally got to the last boss

#

I almost won but in some ways I’m glad I didn’t

#

I was using twin fists and had 350 health by the end so I was brute forcing it

soft sonnet
#

In order to get ||a certain autograph|| does one need to beat ||Asterius|| enough times to trigger it automattically or does one need to do something else?
Giving him || honey|| is not really a option.

floral nacelle
#

||You have to die to asterius, actually, multiple times||

#

I don’t know if you can also die to him during the boss battle and have it count

soft sonnet
#

Thank you

#

Will it automatically trigger at that point?

severe steeple
#

I got Hades yesterday, and man it’s so fun! I did like 4ish runs and got as far as Meg and she shut me down in like 15 seconds lmao.

fresh birch
#

bought hades last night, I've usually avoided anything with roguelike elements but then i saw jim sterling had a lot of love for the game so i thought, hmm maybe.

...and then i binge-played for 5hrs, which is a LOT for someone who had a 12hr day of work prior zagluv

digital grove
#

So how does dark foresight work exactly?

heady comet
#

gives higher chance for more boons

digital grove
#

Like the actual mathematics of it

heady comet
#

and some other rewards

thin locust
#

Are the dash versions still considered special or attack? For example the Dash Uppercut for fists. Does it still benefit from all my special modifiers like the 12 hit demeter combo?

dense laurel
#

dash upper is still special, like dash strikes is still atk

thin locust
#

Thx

pulsar frigate
#

dark foresight gives you +20% more chance to get gold laurel boons

#

i think there's a formula on the wiki though, one sec

terse tree
#

witches circle/barge of death/inferno bombers?

pulsar frigate
#

at some point you should've unlocked the ability to find erebus gates at the house contractor (if you haven't the option will be there eventually)

terse tree
#

oh erebus gates

#

then the ones i mentioned above are just

#

difficult encounters?

pulsar frigate
#

miniboss rooms

terse tree
#

huh...

#

whats the difference between miniboss rooms and difficult encounters

floral nacelle
#

you have to not take damage but the rewards are better than usual

pulsar frigate
#

difficult encounters are specifically blue laurel rooms and usually feature a bunch of armored enemies (you get double the resources involved)

terse tree
#

ohh...

pulsar frigate
#

so you'd get 20 darkness or 2 keys, etc

terse tree
#

those also counts...?

pulsar frigate
#

those are erebus gates, yes

terse tree
#

isnt it something like entering a gate.....??

pulsar frigate
#

minibosses are like the ones you mentioned up above, and are always boon rooms

#

erebus gates are gates you find on the ground, like chaos gates

terse tree
#

mhm

#

the ones that give you onionsbig loots

pulsar frigate
#

yep!

terse tree
#

should i buy it

#

im still considering because people say that its super difficult to go through it

pulsar frigate
#

have you unlocked ||heat|| yet

terse tree
#

yup

pulsar frigate
#

erebus is ||gated by heat level. you need to be on heat 5 to go into a tartarus gate, heat 10 to go into an asphodel gate, and heat 15 to go into an elysium gate (styx doesn't get erebus gates). if you're not at a point where you're playing above heat 5, save your resources for now.||

terse tree
#

ohhhh

#

thanks!

pulsar frigate
#

👍

terse tree
#

i did a 5 clear, but thats only for the shield and the spear so... i guess i save!

severe steeple
#

I finally beat Meg and it was all thanks to me continuously spamming my special... and making her charm herself from time to time because I got  Aphrodite’s legendary...

#

also being able to dash 3 times

dense laurel
#

got aphro legend in tartarus? how lucky

severe steeple
#

YEAH

#

unhealthy fixation

#

I was like :o

#

that + relentless volley which gives me +4 shots...

#

OP lmao

dense laurel
#

its a shame tho special aint got that much dmg

severe steeple
#

I was getting like

#

100+ a hit?

#

because I also had a special bonus

#

idk but it was a lot for me because the other two times I went against her I only got like 1/8 of her health haha

#

I just have to get used to timing the actual attack on the bow

dense laurel
#

i mean meg is the first boss tho, you still need to pkay more i guess

severe steeple
#

yeyey

#

this is like my 7th run in the whole game LMAO

ebon thicket
#

Hey guys

#

Its probably already been asked but, if you have say X boon, is that god more likely to show up further in the run? Ive noticed some god bias in runs

dense laurel
#

ull probably get 3 repeated gods along the run

ebon thicket
#

hmm kk. so then defs a bias

severe steeple
#

is getting the Minotaur alone a RNG thing?

#

I’m about to fight Theseus and him, and probably die lmao but 🧐

floral nacelle
#

minotaur is one of two possible minibosses

#

the other one is the massive soul catcher/butterfly ball

severe steeple
#

ahh okay

#

I got the butterfly one

#

also yo you’re in a discord I’m in I knew your name was familiar

#

LMAO

floral nacelle
#

ahh ic ic

severe steeple
#

😔 I perished

wide inlet
#

Hi what is best weapon to invest between shield

#

and sword

static anvil
daring oracle
#

Each run has 4 gods. You can force more into it by using Keepsakes @ebon thicket

#

I personally love the shield. I got my first win using it. Sword has never felt “right” for me unless I get REALLY lucky with Boons/Hammers @wide inlet

ebon thicket
#

ahh okay

#

sweet ty

#

is that including hermes?

sly vigil
#

no

#

because Hermes is guaranteed

#

so technically 5 gods by default if you count hermes

#

you can force more of course with keepsake

rocky kayak
#

Been playing Hades for a few days now.

#

I had a hard time with Megaera until I unlocked the shield weapon.

#

After that point, I managed to get all the way to Elysium and ended up dying in a Trial while at low health.

thin locust
#

For Heat should I do each bounty on every weapon as I go? Heat 1 on each? Or try to push deep with my best weapon?

uncut tundra
#

bro the hsield is a fun weapon

craggy horizon
#

On my past few runs I've been going for cast builds and my my are they strong, I beat the game for the first time with the duo lightning rod. Literally just ran around while they killed everything.

leaden whale
#

Could someone tell me how to go about getting Titan Blood? I've read several articles and they say that just cranking up the heat is enough but...clearly it isn't.

pulsar frigate
#

have you been clearing with each level?

leaden whale
#

Hmm, you mean a full clear?

pulsar frigate
#

yes

leaden whale
#

Nope.

pulsar frigate
#

you need to make a full clear for each level of heat (and thus that set of bounties) in order to earn the set of bounties for the next level of heat

#

you're free to increase and play at whatever heat you wish, but you will only ever earn one heat level's worth of bounties at a time

thin locust
#

God's legacy or gods pride?

floral nacelle
#

this is actually a tough decision

formal rover
#

i think the meta choice is more or less god’s legacy

#

but not by a huge margin; either can be fine

thin locust
#

How strong are the legendary and duo perks? I have only seen a few, and while they were cool they didn't win me the run lol.

cinder pulsar
#

It really depends on the boon in question

#

Some are crazy powerful, some of kind of underwhelming

floral nacelle
#

Some can be fairly niche, others close to mandatory if you want to win with a certain build

#

Like hunting blades, the ares/Artemis duo, makes your blade rifts track, which makes them much more powerful

#

But there’s another duo that lets your cast use backstab damage, which could be good for you in your build, but if you’re not doing a cast build, it’s close to useless

cinder pulsar
#

Then you have ones that don't do anything super flashy, but they have powerful enough effects to make them super valuable regardless (Exclusive Access, the Posiden/Dionysus duo, making every boon you find from there on purple at minimum)

thin locust
#

Who's that backstab duo?

cinder pulsar
#

Parting Shot, Athena/Aphrodite

gaunt kernel
#

how do you reset the rng

#

im tryna get an epic attack from artemis

#

and its being a pain in the butt

#

i usually get it super fast

floral nacelle
#

If you want a new seed, you have to die

#

I’m pretty sure there’s a mod that seeds your runs for you

#

Give up in the menu keeps the same seed, as if nothing had happened

sly vigil
#

A dirty way to soft reset RNG is to cast a bunch of cast stones before entering chamber 2, like a random number.

#

But this will not change your starting boon, just the subsequent ones.

#

is it possible to do a "monotheistic" run? (one god only)

leaden whale
#

i mean if you just deny every god except the one you chose then yeah

obsidian locust
#

It's even possible to do a run without picking up a single god! squirtnya

#

who's the best person to give a gift to?

obsidian locust

Everyone!

#

They all deserve love squirtnya ❤️

formal rover
#

yeah everyone

but actually just bouldy

obsidian locust
#

true

#

Very true

daring delta
#

I think it's wise to save gifts for some characters that are missable

strange tendon
#

Just bought hades and it is awesome, btw ive been playing for few hours, what should i focus to collect first

daring delta
#

Just have fun

obsidian locust
#

I think not dying is a great place to start squirtnya

#

I've found it to be quite effective

daring delta
#

But when you get the option to spend gems, there's one tab that impacts gameplay and four that don't

#

Spend your gems on curtains IF you want! There's no wrong way to play :)

#

Hello, is there anyway to read previous dialogue that I encountered? Let's say I talked to an NPC and they provided dialogue and voice acting, is there a menu somewhere I can revisit their dialogue?

#

Like, a well of memories or something

limpid urchin
#

Bruh Megrea killed me and I was so close

graceful loom
#

I have terrible memory so I like revisiting old dialogue

limpid urchin
#

Like really close

graceful loom
#

She's tough

limpid urchin
#

I love how death is a part of the game

#

If you die you get upgrades then you become stronger

graceful loom
#

If you can get a dash that makes you deflect attacks then she becomes a little easier

limpid urchin
#

Until you die again

restive sail
#

Shield is very good into her

limpid urchin
#

And man, the art design is just great

limpid urchin
#

Also, there's somewhat of a lore, right?

#

I mean, I understand the Olympus stuff

restive sail
#

sweet! really jsut give it some time, as you already mentioned, youll get stronger with every run. at some point meg will just be any other room to you!

graceful loom
#

Make sure to interact with everyone and everything

limpid urchin
#

Yeah I do

#

I love that stuff in games

graceful loom
#

Same

restive sail
#

I had no opinion on that type of story-telling, but this game does it sooo well, I came to love it!

leaden whale
#

I love the game

hot yoke
#

That's natural

leaden whale
#

Just bought the game 3 days ago

#

and stuck at Elysium and the 3rd Boss Battle 😦

hot yoke
#

Most are

#

They're a huge roadblock

leaden whale
#

true...

hot yoke
#

But like any rohuelite it's all about upgrades and experience

leaden whale
#

I even unlocked Fated Authority

#

still its so hard to beat lol xD

hot yoke
#

Persuasion is better

#

You know the mirror has alternative(green) options, right?

leaden whale
#

yeah

#

Is persuasion better really?

#

I'll get that instead then

hot yoke
#

Persuasion helps you get the boons you want

#

With authority you can only reroll blue laurels into blue and gold into gold

fading zealot
#

any achievement hunters would ask to help out?

hot yoke
#

So you can't make a darkness into a boon room

leaden whale
#

yeah

#

I got what you are saying

#

I'll go with Persuation then

spice spear
#

what aspect I should choose for sword?

harsh leaf
spice spear
#

they all are pretty nice

hot yoke
#

@leaden whale in most cases I can recommend having the last 4 options green
Foresight is better for run consistency, legacy gives you more legendaries and duos and family favourite is basically a consistent +25% damage boost

#

All except zag aspect of sword lol

leaden whale
hot yoke
#

Privileged Status is good if you run curse heavy builds tho
For hangover builds f.e.

leaden whale
#

also running with Stygian Soul and Boiling Blood

#

works well

hot yoke
#

Stygian on non cast builds yeah

leaden whale
hot yoke
#

On hangover builds f.e. it's better

leaden whale
#

yeah... but due to the RNG, you cant say if you'll get Hangover or not

hot yoke
#

Usually if you run builds you equip gods keepsakes the first two stages

#

So you can be 100% sure of getting hangover

dense laurel
#

nah, just use shackles on tartarus and adapt builds from there

leaden whale
#

I see... I havent used the God Keepsakes

#

I use the Pierced Butterfly everytime

hot yoke
#

Equipping a gods keepsake forces them to appear once
If a god appeared once he's in your rotation
If you fill that up to 4 gods by elysium, aside from a few fringe cases, no more random god should show up

#

You can have more than 4 gods in your rotation by equipping keepsakes and forcing more or by having a gods keepsake and buying a 4th, new, god from a shop
Cause after that the god is still being forced to appear

#

Keeping your rotation small is ofc better fit consistency

thorny bobcat
#

you also wanna switch keepsakes around so you can rank them up ya know

fading zealot
#

how do you manage to get the slasher benefit?

#

achievement

#

all that left is getting the burner one

thorny bobcat
#

it's just RNG

fading zealot
#

which pact should i increase for better chance?

thorny bobcat
#

I think that one appears on Asphodel only but don't quote me on that

hot yoke
#

🇷 🇦 🇳 🇩 🇲

fading zealot
#

Great random and all

hot yoke
#

It's a roguelite m8

#

Gotta get lucky

fading zealot
#

Thanks captain obvious

hot yoke
#

Thanks friendly member of this channel

thorny bobcat
#

you just gotta grind it out until you get it, there's not exactly a different pact that will affect BP

fading zealot
#

Just wanna know which pact should i increase

hot yoke
#

Why ask then?

#

BP2

fading zealot
#

Okay that's all i need

hot yoke
#

Should give you the most chance since every armored enemy has 2 perks now

fading zealot
#

welp hope my odds are in favor

#

i have 3 achievements left to get

hot yoke
#

Shouldn't take that long
Took me 3 BP2 runs to get all perks

fading zealot
#

aight thanks mate

hot yoke
#

Best of luck

vale hinge
#

hi athena's aid is better from blinding flash?

#

rare*

#

idk what to choose xD

rose marten
#

if i overheat escape runs, do i retroactively get more rewards from previous heats or not?

thorny bobcat
#

no

#

you get rewards one heat at a time

#

Zag will even make a comment about going out with extra heat if you try it

harsh leaf
#

Also, you cant get rewards for higher heat until you actually beat the boss. So you cant just collect the extra TB from the Furies for each heat level without beating the game each time

rose marten
#

i see

leaden whale
#

So I defeated the 3rd Boss with the Zagreus Aspect Bow + Explosive Special + Continuous Shot

#

but I died due to Poison in the Temple of Styx

#

xD

daring delta
#

Yeah it sucks

#

Play with sound on, dash away when you hear the satyrs do the snorting sound. And always take note where the cure is when entering the room

tame flame
#

It's hard to do with the bow but I've always found rushing them right away is quite effective

leaden whale
#

Also, What exactly does Dark Foresight do?

strange tendon
#

For house contractor upgrades, work orders upgrade should be prioritized right?

leaden whale
#

yes

terse tree
#

but i loved pretty houses, ive done random upgrades when i only had the urns left because i dont really break any urns

#

i should break urns, but i keep forgetting them

daring delta
#

They're the only ones that impact gameplay but buy rugs if you feel like it!

terse tree
#

yeah, the house looks really cool if you begin investing gemstones

#

like it really looks epic

strange tendon
#

Haha okay, im still learning

terse tree
#

yup, i havent been playing for even a month but my playtime is already at 75 hours! this is an epic game, have fun!

spiral topaz
#

Having full deflect while running with the Gauntletts is pretty OP TBH

soft sonnet
#

Does "Deepening relationships" mean giving folk honey?

#

Nectar*

static anvil
#

Basically

grave token
#

What exactly does boiling blood do
I've been hit by it a few times when trying to fight hades but I didnt notice any real effects

terse tree
#

and uh...it HURTS

#

because the base damage is so high

grave token
#

Good to know I always just avoided doing anything when I got hit by it in fear of getting myself killed

terse tree
#

yeah its

#

super threatening

leaden whale
#

What exactly does Dark Foresight do? I quite dont understand it

harsh leaf
#

Increases the chance for gold laurel rooms

#

Those are God Boons, Hammers, Poms, Obol and Hearts

#

(that green symbol means "any god's boon")

leaden whale
#

whats rooms we get apart from Gold Laurel Rooms?

#

The Darkness and Key Rooms?

#

am I right?

daring delta
#
  • Gems, Nectar
harsh leaf
#

Blue Laurel rooms are all the meta currency

leaden whale
#

What's Blue Laurel Rooms?

harsh leaf
#

Non-Gold Laurel rooms

#

There are only those two kinds

leaden whale
#

ok I got it

#

thanks

harsh leaf
#

Gold Laurel = things that help you win the run
Blue Laurel = things that you can spend at the House

leaden whale
#

Ye

soft sonnet
#

What are the odds of getting a|| gem || from Poseidons boon?
I got one from a rare, and was vey pleasantly suprised.

harsh leaf
#

Huh? There is one Boon that always gives you gems, if that is your question

#

Or do you mean a Diamond, specifically?

rose marten
#

is there a time where ||the garden southeast of the house was actually opened?||

#

if so, how ||to unlock it?||

spice spear
#

Well I think

#

You can't

harsh leaf
spice spear
#

Oh

#

Yeah just beat Hades

sly vigil
#

You need to reach the epilogue

#

Wait no, the end credits

harsh leaf
#

Not the epilogue, just the credits

#

yeah

rose marten
#

weirdly i got it ||still closed|| even after that

harsh leaf
#

Do one more run

rose marten
#

for more info about it

#

or rather, i can just post this as spoiler i guess

harsh leaf
#

Well, if it's a tech issue we cant really help here

sly vigil
#

If it's a bug them uh yeah, sorry that happened to you

harsh leaf
#

Yeah taht definitely shouldnt be happening

rose marten
#

do i lose real progress on this though?

harsh leaf
#

On what?

rose marten
#

i mean, will i miss on something besides the hades hearts

#

if i can't proceed to this garden one

harsh leaf
#

There are events in that area, but the area you are in in the video IS the garden

sly vigil
#

Did you try the fix Swan suggested?

rose marten
#

ye i tried. didn't work

#

i guess i gotta hold on to it for now and just farm aspect levels i guess

#

thank you guys for the answers

sweet nova
#

Hi all! Just bought the game. Any small tips for a noob?:)

harsh leaf
#

Dont get hit

hard lichen
#

just have fun playing it

golden hare
#

got the fishing rod. do you need to do anything else to trigger fishing?

#

i never heard him say there's a voice line and i dont think i ever saw a fishing spot

harsh leaf
#

Fishing spots are bright columns of light in bodies of fluid

#

If there is a spot in your room, you'll hear a chime after you pick up the reward

#

It's very unlikely you've never seen one, but you might not have recognized it

analog radish
#

FIRST CLEAR BOYS

harsh leaf
#

Hi everyone. I'm done unlocking all weapons + Dark mirror slots with the Keys. I know Keys allow you to respec the Dark mirror. But I wonder if they have any future use and I should keep them? Or it's time to start trading them at the lounge?

pure fern
#

Man I finally got || Orpheus to sing || ||Eurydice's song || and now I don't want to leave the House for another run lmao

floral nacelle
#

Personally I would trade the keys

#

Once you get enough darkness you won't have to respec your mirror when you feel like changing sides on a whim

#

plus I rarely respec my mirror, I don't know about you

woven fox
#

hello, does decorating the room give any stat benefits? or just plain decorations?

junior void
#

tactics for ||hades: simply don't get hit||

void tendon
#

So how does early game progression go? Unlock all weapons -> unlock/upgrade an aspect for a weapon you prefer -> unlock all mirror passives -> upgrade mirror passives?

junior void
#

||keeping my distance and mostly taking it slow tended to help me I think?||

floral nacelle
#

if you get the scrying bowl you can see how many foes you've slain and numbers of runs you've done

#

but that's like the only cosmetic thing that does anything there

fluid stirrup
#

||my initial problem with final boss was dashing his attacks too early and dashing into swings lol||

woven fox
#

will adding furnitures add some bonus stats or something or just plain decorations to beautify the surroundings?

fluid stirrup
#

Nah

floral nacelle
#

just plain decoration

#

some advance the plot with certain characters but that's about it

woven fox
#

so it will add new god characters?

#

or enhance this favorability to u

void tendon
#

If im right about progression, i only need one more key for the last weapon and then i get to do an aspect. Is the bow a good weapon to upgrade while working for your first full clear?

harsh leaf
floral nacelle
#

it's all personal preference

#

I personally upgraded the bow a lot but that's because I'm terrible at bow and chiron needs more blood to really shine

#

and some aspects don't need much blood to be effective

harsh leaf
#

Legendary aspects are spoilers here, try the spoiler channel, or the builds channel

supple linden
#

Legendary aspect of Zagreus: increased 56% petting ability

#

@cunning palm Spoiler tag the name pls
|| On both sides of the word/sentence

sly vigil
#

|| spoiler || mate

#

good effort though

hushed mist
#

idk what other platform had it with dots

#

and i got confused sorry

#

thank you for telling me

sly vigil
#

reddit maybe?

#

i'm not familiar either

#

||use the shield weapon with the athena boon that gives u dodge and deflect when u dash and just do bullrush move?(not sure what the name was) on the shield whenever hades attacks||

hot yoke
#

Tooth is just fixed 100 hp at max and will only apply last

floral nacelle
#

acorn or spearpoint

hot yoke
#

Collar will yield overall more ehp and especially acorn at final boss

floral nacelle
#

spearpoint still helps in styx if you have trouble with poison

hot yoke
#

Fair

uncut tundra
#

what artifacts should i take between each region

indigo shore
#

Mostly depends on which boons/build you want to go for

#

oops I'm stupid I translated that into keepsakes in my head 🤔

leaden wave
#

How do the keepsakes for the gods work, do they increase the chance get them

quiet cypress
#

they guarantee next god

#

as long as its the first time using it in that run

#

rarity is also increased

hot yoke
#

There's a number under the keepsake

#

@leaden wave Until it's gone it forces the god of the keepsake to appear
Means when you f.e. have the choice between a shop and the god and take the shop the keepsake won't have used up it's charge

jovial shadow
hot yoke
#

As I said collar will give you more then because it's more ehp

dusk elk
#

Acorn op

lyric quiver
#

I've used nothing but chiron bow in my runs. It's super satisfying zagluv

hot yoke
brave solstice
#

Ok I just got the game very recently and Im enjoying it so far. Ive never played a game like this so its a new experience for me. Ive gotten the first fury to half health for the first time on my 2nd time getting to her, so thats pretty good I’d say

#

I had a good selection of Boons though, so thats probably why

hot yoke
#

Don't worry
You'll need a couple attempts before you beat your first run ;D

brave solstice
#

Yeah im gonna need a lot failbag

uncut tundra
#

ya finally beat it after 28 attempts

#

going to take a bit longer for me to figure out which gods' boons are best with the weapon im using

#

and then figure out what to syngergize it with and what to build into

brave solstice
#

I like Divine Dash a lot

#

I dash a TON so its nice to deal damage while I do so

#

Plus its an easy way to deflect

exotic orbit
zinc acorn
#

Does anyone in here have the orginal soundtrack dlc ?

#

Im wondering if it affects anything while playing

#

If so, i think i'll buy it, music is so good in this game

lyric quiver
#

Divine dash is op. The only other dash is like is the poseidon one.

short beacon
#

I just got ambrosia for the first time, how exactly do I use it?

#

I googled it but I couldn't exactly find anything

sand bridge
#

Ambrosia is basically ||late-game nectar||

short beacon
#

I have Charon at max hearts and the next one is locked, but I couldn't use it on him and I assumed that's what it's supposed to be used for

#

do I have to like... activate it or something?

harsh leaf
#

All characters have a lock, which requires some sort of quest, or favor, or something, to unlock. When you do, you can then give ambrosia

#

Charon's requires you to ||spend a lot of gold buying things. Ten thousand I think, but dont quote me on that.||

short beacon
#

ooooh

#

thank you lindel_approves

#

is there any way to keep track on the ||amount of gold one has spent?||

wild cloud
#

Aside from doing it manually, I don’t think so. Don’t worry about it tho; like most things you’ll get there just by playing naturally.

short beacon
#

hmmmm

#

guess I'll start to go the extra gold artifacts and stuff

gilded mesa
#

@sly vigil sorry for the ping, ||just wondering is there any reason it doesnt let me give ambrosia to hades?||

sly vigil
#

Yeah it's lore locked.

#

You need to get to the end credit

#

Then you can start gifting.

harsh leaf
#

You might have to wait a few runs before the lock is broken, too

gilded mesa
#

okay, so does the lock have to be gone before i can give ambrosia to someone?

harsh leaf
#

yes

gilded mesa
#

alright, thank you both

ebon thicket
#

does the ||lucky tooth|| apply after stubborn has gone off? or before?

harsh leaf
#

After, I believe

ebon thicket
#

oh not bad!

#

a good one to take then as a swap out

exotic tulip
#

when u have the all games role but dont actually have pyre

sly vigil
#

pyre was included in the BLM bundle a while back

#

i got so many good games out of that

exotic tulip
#

noice

#

i picked the role and forgot that i dont have pyre

#

hehe im too lazy to change it so nvm

sly vigil
#

impostor

exotic tulip
leaden whale
#

the itch bundle?

sly vigil
#

yee that one

#

Celeste
Nuclear Throne
Pyre
Night in the Woods
Oxenfree

#

the big ones

steep heath
#

so what does heat even do?

leaden whale
#

yoooooo

steep heath
#

honestly have no idea still lmao

leaden whale
#

heat makes the game more difficult for more rewards

steep heath
#

greater rewards such as?

leaden whale
#

Titan blood diamond etc

#

boss drops

steep heath
#

haven't played without heat so its kind of hard to know the difference

#

also the first boss is so much easier with two dashes

#

was painful previously since my attack window was so small

leaden whale
#

oh you're playing on hell mode?

sly vigil
#

you should already have access to increasing heat ||the pact of punishment||

leaden whale
#

extra bounties start at 6 heat there iirc

exotic tulip
#

ill try that when i finish the game normally

silver nimbus
#

my two pro-tips for new players are
1: you need that centaur heart
2: always pick up aphrodite and artemis boons

floral nacelle
#

But Athena dash

silver nimbus
#

no

#

once you get two dashes, just dash twice

leaden whale
#

But Athena dash

sly vigil
#

But Athena dash

silver nimbus
#

deflect dash is useful versus certain enemies but you can outrun all of the annoying AoEs with two dashes and maybe some Hermes stuff

#

stap

#

deflect =/= impervious

leaden whale
#

it's useful when you have a billion enemies coming at you

#

i love it and poseidon dash

silver nimbus
#

just take Ares or Poseidon call if you need an invincible escape

#

leave your dash open for something you can build towards

leaden whale
#

never

silver nimbus
#

foolish boy

leaden whale
#

I've actually been lucky enough to get her dash the past few runs

#

Along w my build

silver nimbus
#

what i'm trying to say is

#

i overvalued Athena dash too

leaden whale
#

Which would be nice if I could actually make it... to the final boss

#

||32 heat|| lose streak baybee

#

I feel like sonic in that dankey kang meme when I get Divine dash

silver nimbus
#

also, the auto-reloading cast is way better than it sounds. once you get it you realize how often you kind of have to just look around for wherever your bloodstone ended up

#

but now you don't have to

#

even though you only have one at the start

leaden whale
#

I wish there was some sort of toggleable indicator that it was recharged

#

like a sound cue or something

#

supergiant plz

silver nimbus
#

there is

#

there's a doot on the hud

#

and there's a noise

leaden whale
#

yeah but that's in the bottom left

#

I did not hear a noise

silver nimbus
#

i think there is

#

anyway just get Artemis' legendary OmegaLUL

#

you'll never have to think when you press circle again

thin locust
#

So each run has a 'pool' of available gods right? When you use an item for a specific God does it add them to the pool for the entire run or only while you have it equipped?

floral nacelle
#

Easy to say

#

I’ve taken the prereqs and the legendary still hasn’t shown for me

leaden whale
#

normally there's 4 gods + hermes

silver nimbus
#

when you have an item it gives you one guaranteed item from a god

#

and then later if you get them again it affects your rare%

#

with that god

#

but usually after that it's safer to unequip between floors to help figure out the build

thin locust
#

Wait so it's possible to only run into the god with your item once?

silver nimbus
#

no

#

what i'm trying to say is that it doesn't affect the % they appear for you after the first time

#

similar to the items that grant you ||gates and fishing spots||, it's a guaranteed generation of one room containing your desired god boon

#

if you don't enter that room, you keep that guarantee for later

#

is how i believe it works

#

and what misty said, there's a pool of 4 per run + hermes

#

so it raises the 25% chance of that specific god to a 100% chance once per run

#

or at least a guarantee that it will generate somewhere later on. i've had runs where multiple gods have appeared before my guaranteed one

#

not quite sure the internals of it but it's never not given me the god

#

on the floor where i equipped it

sly vigil
#

You will always get the keepsake god first if a god is generated except for scripted events.

#

Or Hermes

thin locust
#

Or hammer

#

Ive seen that

sly vigil
#

Hammer isn't a god but sure

silver nimbus
#

kek

sly vigil
#

I said when a god is generated :D

leaden whale
#

lol I remember the first time I got a hammer immediately I was like what

thin locust
#

But ok so using a god item at the start of a run just makes one of the 4 the god you chose

silver nimbus
#

i've also noticed that if you equip it before a run the game will almost always give you it as your landing boon

thin locust
#

And using it midway just adds them to the pool

sly vigil
silver nimbus
#

right, i assume it's to make relationship farming less of a random catastrophe--

sly vigil
#

Yeah. Also some boons works well with certain weapons.

#

One of the popular keepsake sequence is God God Acorn Acorn

#

So you have an 'optimal" build by Elysium and don't die to bosses

silver nimbus
#

i've been overvaluing spearpoint haven't i...

sly vigil
#

Spearpoint also works

#

It's totally fine for Styx

thin locust
#

Does butterfly only last while you have it equipped?

silver nimbus
#

yes

#

as does feather

sly vigil
#

Yup

thin locust
#

I want to do a butterfly guan yu

silver nimbus
#

wait, i'm actually not sure, does charon's keepsake last retroactively if you remove it?

sly vigil
#

It does :D

silver nimbus
#

ahhhhh

sly vigil
#

So if you have charon, buy stuff before swapping

silver nimbus
#

another keepsake i'm not sure about how i should go about using is nyx's

#

unless the consensus is "it's bad"

sly vigil
#

If I'm being honest, I do think it's trash.

leaden whale
#

fiery presence lole

sly vigil
#

But erm let's be nice and call it "niche"

leaden whale
#

I thought thans keepsake was good until I realized how often I take damage

silver nimbus
#

uh i also have a more technical question, this might get a bit weird, but how exactly does blocking AoEs work? especially on bosses 3 and 4, i can't seem to consistently block their spin attacks with shield or utilizing a deflect boon or something

sly vigil
#

Problem with Than is that it blocks you from using other keepsakes

#

And is outclassed by charon, for example

silver nimbus
#

i've been able to block more consistently by facing the source of damage but other than that is there a general class of attacks that are overall unblockable?

sly vigil
#

Just buy a jerky +60% damage which will last you an entire bione

leaden whale
#

can't block ||cyclops heads||

#

learned that one the hard way

silver nimbus
#

||comically smooshed||

leaden whale
sly vigil
#

I think you can block everything

#

In front that is

floral nacelle
#

Than requires so much skill

sly vigil
#

If the hitbox extent over the shield, you will get hit

#

You can test this on thugs. The club slam can blocked by shield but if you are point blank it can still hit you with shield up

silver nimbus
#

is boss 4's spin attack slightly smaller than it appears to be? because my dashes are not perfect but sometimes i outrun them ||and other times i take 23 damage AAAA||

sly vigil
#

That idk, sometimes I think I get hit but I don't, and vice versa

#

It's a big ¯_(ツ)_/¯

silver nimbus
#

i also have noticed hitbox jank with sword's secret aspect

sly vigil
#

Oh yeah. You can backstab from the side

silver nimbus
#

i think it's intentional? but the sword is about a foot or twelve longer than the swing looks to be

sly vigil
#

It used to be worse

leaden whale
#

love how its active through the whole swing

sly vigil
#

You can backstab from the front

leaden whale
#

it has more range vertically due to the isometric perspective

#

and the visuals don't compensate for the 2nd/3rd hits

silver nimbus
#

ah i seeeee

leaden whale
#

u can see that really easily with spear

#

attack vertically then horizontally

sly vigil
#

The game is annoying sometimes. Your death is one frame before you are hit.

silver nimbus
#

maybe then i'm just dashing behind the swing effect?

sly vigil
#

So you can die to things that seem to not hit you.

silver nimbus
#

yeah, last run got burned at the last moment because i dashed long after the spin was over... into the hitbox

leaden whale
#

I died to meg like that once

#

I was like wtf hit me

silver nimbus
#

i need to just replace the game over noise with a kazoo version

#

that would make everything better

sly vigil
#

Yeah. It fair because you do get hit, but the death freeze frame is 1 or 2 frames too early

leaden whale
#

hades does the game over screen correctly

#

the most insulting game over/death screen I've ever experienced is mario sunshine

sly vigil
#

How so?

leaden whale
#

just listen to it

sly vigil
#

I have ptsd from the gba mario game lol

#

Mama mia

silver nimbus
#

worst game over screen for me is wario world
mostly because it doesn't matter
but also because i feel insulted whenever i game over in baby game

leaden whale

the horn at the end really sells it

sly vigil
#

Here~ we goooo

silver nimbus
#

also some of the bosses in that game are harder than the bosses in this game

#

but not for good reasons

#

anyway

#

hads

leaden wave
#

Hypno has how many hearts?

#

What amount of nector do I need

pulsar frigate
#

you can check in the codex

unkempt needle
#

it says no spoilers yet has a boss name in the description zote

#

how do i use my ||titan's blood||?

leaden whale
#

you have to unlock all weapons first

unkempt needle
#

oh okay

quick basin
#

What does "Unspoken Bond" mean? ||(Got it for Charon, after we became bff)||

trim thicket
#

|| just a small title that signifies that u maxed out a character's hearts; u get a different "___ bond" for each character ||

#

doesnt really do anything tho it's just cute to see each of em

quick basin
#

ah, good to know, ty 🙂

trim thicket
#

no problem shadesmile

dusk elk
#

it’s unspoken cause he doesn’t talk

spiral hull
#

Hello! I am wondering if I need to upgrade each wepoan with titan blood( in total 30) or if I need to upgrade a total of 5 titan blood for secret aspect on spear

pastel cipher
spiral hull
#

Thank you! :D

pastel cipher
#

no worries ^_^

spark kettle
#

dumb question but do chaos boost to atk/special affect separate damage like doom/lightning bolt/hangover?

dense laurel
#

i think so

spark kettle
#

wait really?

#

can i get a confirmation

#

ive been playing the game as if it doesn't

dense laurel
#

no i mean it doesnt probably

spark kettle
#

oh ok

gray haven
#

They don't affect Lightning Bolts etc.

leaden whale
#

Which aspect do I get for Malphon?

normal pike
#

i don't i just spam

#

and don't die

leaden whale
#

I just want one thats good which do I take

normal pike
#

well idk

random gazelle
#

how do I get the ||cosmic egg?||

#

oh wait, nvm 🗿

leaden whale
#

okay so I am about to unlock a Companion for the 1st time....

#

So which one is the best?

#

In terms of Overall Usability and also especially in terms of Fighting Bosses

sour kite
#

||Sisyphus/Achilles|| are good

uncut parrot
#

go for ||Sisyphus as it is the most balanced (damages + heal + coins) and it gives you darkness which will help your overall progression, on top of a small hp increment if you're using the right mirror perk||

leaden whale
#

Yeah... I am not using that Mirror Perk

#

But thanks, I'll check it out

uncut parrot
#

you should give it a try, I found it better than the 3hp/room one especially if you're retrying a failed run since the boss you already beat will give you darkness

leaden whale
#

yeah... thats true... I didnt try it coz I dont get healed consistently...

#

Also, I am running Stubborn Defiance instead of the other one,.. so a death in a room doesnt matter

uncut parrot
#

any reason you're using that? I find myself more often dying several times against a boss than once in normal rooms so I like the 3 DD more

leaden whale
#

yeah... I die once or twice in the Elysium rooms

#

also, I tend to have used up all my coins, so I cant recharge my Death Defiance reliably

#

So that's why I choose Stubborn Defiance, as it suits me well

#

plus if you get the Legendary Boon from Chaos, then its pretty much GG with Stubborn Defiance

uncut parrot
#

'if', in my experience chaos legendary was a pain to get (aka literally the last boon I needed to complete the fates'lists)

#

but yeah, if it suits you then go for it

leaden whale
#

I got the Chaos Legendary luckily very early in today's run xD

#

So its all RNG I think

dusk elk
#

140 runs and no chaos legendary ever

uncut parrot
#

requirement is to have 1 chaos boon already, using mirror perks for more legendaries can help and the cosmic egg should also help upping the rarity on top of getting a chaos door early

void tendon
#

What are all of the passive boon slots?

brittle basalt
#

what the bloody hell is that green fury

#

why is she 10x harder than magera

#

also how do u deal with the witch circle

#

aside from having deflect dodge

heady comet
#

stay away, use your attack to destroy projectiles

leaden whale
#

The shield is also pretty forgiving for the witch circle

brittle basalt
#

i like sword tho

#

I'm also having problem with fire stage

heady comet
#

if you stay away, even if you dont do anything you wont get hit that much; you can also attack to destroy projectiles

leaden whale
#

While*

brittle basalt
#

the fire stage is really troublesome

#

cause it burns me

heady comet
#

dont stand in it?

brittle basalt
#

its the little instance where u accidentally touch it

#

it starts to adds up

leaden whale
#

For the fire you just have to watch where you dash so you're not panic dashing into it

brittle basalt
#

especially when u only heal for 3 each stage

heady comet
#

u should be able to dash out instantly and only take like 3 damage from it

brittle basalt
#

do u get starting dmg the more upgrade u get ?

heady comet
#

not really

brittle basalt
#

right now the only dmg boost is the red diamond bonus

leaden whale
#

Some upgrades give you just a flat damage boost but tbh most of your damage is not going to be just from that flat damage anyway because boons exist.

heady comet
#

theres priviledged status ig which gives more damage based on having 2 status effects on enemy or more

#

or the one that gives 5% more damage per god boon you have

leaden whale
#

Like ares and I think like Athena are the two that have upgrades that must give you more flat damage

#

Just*

void tendon
#

Is there a list of all the passive slots?

golden hare
#

can you reset hade's court without dying?

leaden whale
#

court?

golden hare
#

need to talk to some npcs but they dont show up

pulsar frigate
#

nope, you have to die or clear a run in order to refresh the house

golden hare
#

damn ty

pulsar frigate
#

👍

#

many people here like to do suicide runs to advance the dialogue quicker

golden hare
#

what's the fastest way? aspect of g-yu, disable mirror, max enemy damage?

static anvil
#

People usually just wait it out in the first room

harsh leaf
pulsar frigate
#

disable mirror, definitely

golden hare
#

mag shows up randomly right? not triggered by anything

#

in the house i mean

leaden whale
#

Nope

pulsar frigate
#

meg shows up in-house if she appears in the tartarus boss fight

#

usually, anyways

leaden whale
#

To my knowledge, she appears guaranteed whenever you fight her but there are times she kinda just appears even if you never face her, I mostly assume that's because of some like important dialogue triggering maybe.

#

Fight her and win*

pulsar frigate
#

if you have ||extreme measures on and she's one of the support furies, she'll appear|| (post first clear spoilers)

golden hare
#

i just want to be her friend, why does she make everything difficult 😦

hot yoke
#

She doesn't
That's just the dialogue system

stray jacinth
#

Guys, is there like saving system, when u enter a new floor?

dense laurel
#

yes

#

saves after every room

#

as long as u dont give up the run

hot yoke
#

Also don't quit mid fight and try to save scum

#

Game doesn't like that

#

Of you're on pc there's better ways to safe scum

dense laurel
#

wdym, i closed hades midfight, its fine

leaden whale
#

huh, really?

#

back when i did that on accident it just

#

returned me to the point before i started the run

#

like a give up

dense laurel
#

u probably clicked give up

leaden whale
#

no, it was closed from outside the game

#

bc i closed steam

#

and you can't quit mid fight, right?
