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

oh looks like the wiki makes a distinction between piercing and unblockable
any recommendations for a good exagryph build
Depends on the aspect
zeus attack good in general due to fast attack speed
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*
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)
||whats the easiest heat 8 i can do||
TD1, BP1, CF1, MM, UC
That should be 8 I think
You can substitute some points for DC, too, depending on weapon.
EM2 is easier than any 3 of that (save TD)
EM2 only alters two boss battles and nothing else
Plus it’s the fun kind of difficulty modifier
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
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
yeah i try to but i still die to the dude
oh
the dude constantly has a shield up, but he'll walk away from you after he attacks
that's when you attack
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
You need to backstab the dude
oh
as long as you can keep an eye on the minotaur its not the worst idea to target theseus in my experiences
idk its the second phase thats also yk >.> and i can barely dodge their normal attacks lmao
yea focusing on theseus allows you to finish the battle faster
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
.>
you kind of need to play slower for that fight, yeah
comparing yourself to others is never a good idea, just relax and keep at it
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
yea guess i just got used to being aggressive on meg and hydra since theyre not as taxing
Fwiw, i wouldn't want to do 18 attempts in 15 hours. That's just turtling.
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
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
feeling like a demigod rn
beat the bone hydra first try and got to theseus on my first time in elysium
nice
good stuff
Hello how do i get the shield chaos aspect ( i dont have any aspect btw )
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
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
what do you mean you can only unlock the spear one? You mean the 4th hidden aspect ||Guan Yu|| for the spear?
i took close to an hour per attempt when i was just starting out lol
i find that playing slow helps a lot since you don't really know your enemies yet
i bought the spear but i still cant see all weapon why?
that means i cant get aspect yet right?
but then again people play differently 
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
anyone can help me please
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
okok
I think you need to unlock the weapons with keys sequentially
Then one more run after that, Skelly should tell you
okok
You get basically all the non hidden aspects at the same time once you unlock all weapons
so for now
i should play with all weapon
and beat the 2 first boss
wioth each
till i get aspect right?
You don’t necessarily have to play with every weapon, just get enough keys to unlock them
i mean to progress faster
But yeah, getting more titan blood would be good
i assume upgrading is better
ok titan is only from first boss or no
bcs i feel i get diamond on 2nd boss
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
okok
you get blood from prophecies, first and final boss
i got to the third last rboss i think
where its minotaur and ther spear dude
but its so hard
third boss dont gib blood dont worry
make use of the pillars to block their attacks
Go for the Minotaur first
Question. I can only have one active aspect right?
Yeah you choose one before you start the run
Alrighty. Thank you friend!
LETS GO BOY I GOT THE GAME
I need to install it first :V
Can some one tell me please what colour dose ur controller light up when u plugin and play Hades (PS4 controller)
Hi guys, I've just unlocked all of the weapons on the switch, what is my next priority to unlock?
^me too sldkdlflsd i was impatient
get the hidden sword
I like the shield but I think it’s ability to block makes me worse using other weapons 😆
i only like the sword that isn't played like sword
🤔 What
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
I love spear
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
helllllrrp
I can help
I've only one clear on hell mode but I think I've got a good understanding of the game
that happend
this might be weird but does someone want to play with me?
like play separately but together hahahahaha
yes?
what would be fun
acutaly
but ur gonna not exest anymore because thats now this server works
how to intentionally hide the mouse cursor
cuz that messes up my special aim on rail (i only use keyboard controls at the moment)
It is essentially another death defiance
Very good for getting your first few clears
It’s a death defiance that restores a fixed amount
If you still have three DDs, collar is better, hp wise
if you are having troubles with boss fights, I would recommend taking Acorn over Tooth.
You will get more effective HP that way
Acorn is very good
Also, Acorn does something every single boss fight. Tooth does something ONCE, and only at the very, very end
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
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
The trick is not to pick gods trial 😉 like seriously
Most of the time the reward isn't worth it as you can't get duos boons out the trials
oh
maybe if you want a specific legendary, but still
that sucks
my main build is artemis attack + aphrodite special + serrated point
poseidon is my favourite characther
Either learn the patterns in trials or just avoid them
And in trials, try to anger the god who you think will be easier to deal with
Because Aphrodite is brutal
For final boss, when I first started, I like taking the Rail and look for some Bomb hammer
in my case i angered artemis and those circles were so annoying
Things such as hazard bomb, triple bomb, etc. with Artemis Special can help greatly at boss fights
so ill take notes
artemis + rockets + triple bomb is very very fun
was critting for 3Kish per special
on rail**
Artemis + Rockets + Cluster at point blank can melt pretty much anything.
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
case in point for Eris + Cluster + Rocket, spoiler for final boss, obviously: ||https://youtu.be/DCNKR3JmuGg?t=976||
16:16 mark
quick question
splash dash putting in the work too o7
is poseidons dash the best one?
depends on what you are looking for
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
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
When is hunter dash good?
I never take artemis’s dash
Well, the obvious answer is things that dash strike a lot
Try Athena and getting hermes’ +dash boon
more specifically: Nemesis Sword, Hades Spear, Zag Shield, Zag Bow, 4th aspect Bow, Hestia Rail
what weapon do you guys use usually?
all of them 😄
^^^
I rotate, but I favor melee weapons like the fists and sword
i honestly like most of them except the spear
I have trouble with the bow
the shield is my most used probably
i have problem with a bow after playing other weapons where i was used to being more reckless and not charging
but i had a couple of good bow runs
My personal (quite outdated) record:
||https://imgur.com/1BVibYk||
i did almost 100 damage with aphrodites bow upgrade
i might have used a pomegranate on it too i dont remember
yeah bow can get some pretty good damage
im really close to getting the gauntlets and im pretty sure im gonna like them
All is good. Byt starting out I would suggest Chaos if you have enough Titan Blood to get it to at least 3 levels.
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
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
Just friendship
story, friendship
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
please tag spoiler
put these: || before and after the spoiler
no probs 🙂
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.
||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
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.
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 
So how does dark foresight work exactly?
gives higher chance for more boons
Like the actual mathematics of it
and some other rewards
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?
dash upper is still special, like dash strikes is still atk
Thx
dark foresight gives you +20% more chance to get gold laurel boons
i think there's a formula on the wiki though, one sec
What exactly are "infernal gate challenges"?
witches circle/barge of death/inferno bombers?
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)
miniboss rooms
you have to not take damage but the rewards are better than usual
difficult encounters are specifically blue laurel rooms and usually feature a bunch of armored enemies (you get double the resources involved)
ohh...
so you'd get 20 darkness or 2 keys, etc
wait isnt that just erebus gates
those also counts...?
those are erebus gates, yes
isnt it something like entering a gate.....??
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
yep!
should i buy it
im still considering because people say that its super difficult to go through it
have you unlocked ||heat|| yet
yup
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.||
👍
i did a 5 clear, but thats only for the shield and the spear so... i guess i save!
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
got aphro legend in tartarus? how lucky
YEAH
unhealthy fixation
I was like :o
that + relentless volley which gives me +4 shots...
OP lmao
its a shame tho special aint got that much dmg
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
i mean meg is the first boss tho, you still need to pkay more i guess
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
ull probably get 3 repeated gods along the run
hmm kk. so then defs a bias
is getting the Minotaur alone a RNG thing?
I’m about to fight Theseus and him, and probably die lmao but 🧐
minotaur is one of two possible minibosses
the other one is the massive soul catcher/butterfly ball
ahh okay
I got the butterfly one
also yo you’re in a discord I’m in I knew your name was familiar
LMAO
ahh ic ic
😔 I perished
Aka Satan in the flesh
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
no
because Hermes is guaranteed
so technically 5 gods by default if you count hermes
you can force more of course with keepsake
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.
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?
bro the hsield is a fun weapon
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.
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.
have you been clearing with each level?
Hmm, you mean a full clear?
yes
Nope.
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
God's legacy or gods pride?
this is actually a tough decision
i think the meta choice is more or less god’s legacy
but not by a huge margin; either can be fine
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.
It really depends on the boon in question
Some are crazy powerful, some of kind of underwhelming
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
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)
Who's that backstab duo?
Parting Shot, Athena/Aphrodite
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
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
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.
@thin locust please tag ||hades|| as a spoiler
How does that spear weapon perform?
Nothing like opening the last Dionysus boon out of the Styx shop and it’s exclusive access. HECKIN HILARIOUS DUDE
No more room for boons
No more to get
@thin locust for future reference ||Heat|| is considered a spoiler in this channel
@pulsar frigate too
is it possible to do a "monotheistic" run? (one god only)
i mean if you just deny every god except the one you chose then yeah
It's even possible to do a run without picking up a single god! 
who's the best person to give a gift to?
I think it's wise to save gifts for some characters that are missable
Just bought hades and it is awesome, btw ive been playing for few hours, what should i focus to collect first
Just have fun
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
Bruh Megrea killed me and I was so close
I have terrible memory so I like revisiting old dialogue
Like really close
She's tough
I love how death is a part of the game
If you die you get upgrades then you become stronger
If you can get a dash that makes you deflect attacks then she becomes a little easier
Until you die again
Yeah I got that
Shield is very good into her
And man, the art design is just great
Used it as well
Also, there's somewhat of a lore, right?
I mean, I understand the Olympus stuff
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!
Yeah, lots of lore, pay attention to all dialogue etc
Make sure to interact with everyone and everything
Same
I had no opinion on that type of story-telling, but this game does it sooo well, I came to love it!
really well done imo
||surface fish|| are spoilers in this channel @proud basalt please use spoiler tags @proud basalt
I love the game
That's natural
true...
But like any rohuelite it's all about upgrades and experience
Persuasion helps you get the boons you want
With authority you can only reroll blue laurels into blue and gold into gold
any achievement hunters would ask to help out?
So you can't make a darkness into a boon room
The one you like the most
they all are pretty nice
@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
yeah running with those 4 only
Privileged Status is good if you run curse heavy builds tho
For hangover builds f.e.
Stygian on non cast builds yeah
I use curses... but Privileged Status is not consistent damage like Family Favourite... so I dont run it
On hangover builds f.e. it's better
yeah... but due to the RNG, you cant say if you'll get Hangover or not
Usually if you run builds you equip gods keepsakes the first two stages
So you can be 100% sure of getting hangover
nah, just use shackles on tartarus and adapt builds from there
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
you also wanna switch keepsakes around so you can rank them up ya know
how do you manage to get the slasher benefit?
achievement
all that left is getting the burner one
it's just RNG
which pact should i increase for better chance?
I think that one appears on Asphodel only but don't quote me on that
🇷 🇦 🇳 🇩 🇲
Great random and all
Thanks friendly member of this channel
you just gotta grind it out until you get it, there's not exactly a different pact that will affect BP
Just wanna know which pact should i increase
Okay that's all i need
Should give you the most chance since every armored enemy has 2 perks now
Shouldn't take that long
Took me 3 BP2 runs to get all perks
aight thanks mate
Best of luck
if i overheat escape runs, do i retroactively get more rewards from previous heats or not?
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
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
i see
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
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
It's hard to do with the bow but I've always found rushing them right away is quite effective
The Sound was on... but through the speaker.... so I everything was kinda chorus
Also, What exactly does Dark Foresight do?
For house contractor upgrades, work orders upgrade should be prioritized right?
yes
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
They're the only ones that impact gameplay but buy rugs if you feel like it!
yeah, the house looks really cool if you begin investing gemstones
like it really looks epic
Haha okay, im still learning
yup, i havent been playing for even a month but my playtime is already at 75 hours! this is an epic game, have fun!
Having full deflect while running with the Gauntletts is pretty OP TBH
Basically
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
it gives you doubled damage
and uh...it HURTS
because the base damage is so high
Good to know I always just avoided doing anything when I got hit by it in fear of getting myself killed
What exactly does Dark Foresight do? I quite dont understand it
Increases the chance for gold laurel rooms
Those are God Boons, Hammers, Poms, Obol and Hearts
(that green symbol means "any god's boon")
whats rooms we get apart from Gold Laurel Rooms?
The Darkness and Key Rooms?
am I right?
- Gems, Nectar
Blue Laurel rooms are all the meta currency
What's Blue Laurel Rooms?
Gold Laurel = things that help you win the run
Blue Laurel = things that you can spend at the House
Ye
What are the odds of getting a|| gem || from Poseidons boon?
I got one from a rare, and was vey pleasantly suprised.
Huh? There is one Boon that always gives you gems, if that is your question
Or do you mean a Diamond, specifically?
is there a time where ||the garden southeast of the house was actually opened?||
if so, how ||to unlock it?||
Just keep beating the game
weirdly i got it ||still closed|| even after that
Do one more run
check my report on #h1-tech-support
for more info about it
or rather, i can just post this as spoiler i guess
Oof is one of the millions of Hades gameplay clips & videos on Medal. Join today and see more clips.
Well, if it's a tech issue we cant really help here
If it's a bug them uh yeah, sorry that happened to you
Yeah taht definitely shouldnt be happening
do i lose real progress on this though?
On what?
i mean, will i miss on something besides the hades hearts
if i can't proceed to this garden one
There are events in that area, but the area you are in in the video IS the garden
Did you try the fix Swan suggested?
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
Hi all! Just bought the game. Any small tips for a noob?:)
Dont get hit
just have fun playing it
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
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
FIRST CLEAR BOYS

||goddamn you Hades

@spice spear spoiler tag/delete the spoilers plz
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?
Man I finally got || Orpheus to sing || ||Eurydice's song || and now I don't want to leave the House for another run lmao
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
hello, does decorating the room give any stat benefits? or just plain decorations?
tactics for ||hades: simply don't get hit||
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?
||keeping my distance and mostly taking it slow tended to help me I think?||
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
||my initial problem with final boss was dashing his attacks too early and dashing into swings lol||
will adding furnitures add some bonus stats or something or just plain decorations to beautify the surroundings?
Nah
just plain decoration
some advance the plot with certain characters but that's about it
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?
No
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
Legendary aspects are spoilers here, try the spoiler channel, or the builds channel
Legendary aspect of Zagreus: increased 56% petting ability
idk what other platform had it with dots
and i got confused sorry
thank you for telling me
||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||
||give the skeleaton a nectar bottle and use it right before hades so u have one more life, and make sure to level up your dashes, u gonna be dashing a lot||
||when u see like a white swing dash far as u can XD||
I recommend that acorn over the tooth
Tooth is just fixed 100 hp at max and will only apply last
acorn or spearpoint
Collar will yield overall more ehp and especially acorn at final boss
spearpoint still helps in styx if you have trouble with poison
Fair
what artifacts should i take between each region
Mostly depends on which boons/build you want to go for
oops I'm stupid I translated that into keepsakes in my head 🤔
How do the keepsakes for the gods work, do they increase the chance get them
they guarantee next god
as long as its the first time using it in that run
rarity is also increased
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
Yeah but if u are new at the game that is pretty helpfull
As I said collar will give you more then because it's more ehp
Acorn op
I've used nothing but chiron bow in my runs. It's super satisfying 

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
Don't worry
You'll need a couple attempts before you beat your first run ;D
Yeah im gonna need a lot 
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
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
i agree when i am being barraged by attacks i usually dash a lot and it is nice to deflect those attacks while im dashing
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
Divine dash is op. The only other dash is like is the poseidon one.
I just got ambrosia for the first time, how exactly do I use it?
I googled it but I couldn't exactly find anything
Ambrosia is basically ||late-game nectar||
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?
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.||
ooooh
thank you 
is there any way to keep track on the ||amount of gold one has spent?||
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.
@sly vigil sorry for the ping, ||just wondering is there any reason it doesnt let me give ambrosia to hades?||
Yeah it's lore locked.
You need to get to the end credit
Then you can start gifting.
You might have to wait a few runs before the lock is broken, too
okay, so does the lock have to be gone before i can give ambrosia to someone?
yes
alright, thank you both
does the ||lucky tooth|| apply after stubborn has gone off? or before?
After, I believe
when u have the all games role but dont actually have pyre
noice
i picked the role and forgot that i dont have pyre
hehe im too lazy to change it so nvm
impostor

the itch bundle?
so what does heat even do?
yoooooo
honestly have no idea still lmao
heat makes the game more difficult for more rewards
greater rewards such as?
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
oh you're playing on hell mode?
you should already have access to increasing heat ||the pact of punishment||
extra bounties start at 6 heat there iirc
ill try that when i finish the game normally
my two pro-tips for new players are
1: you need that centaur heart
2: always pick up aphrodite and artemis boons
But Athena dash
But Athena dash
But Athena dash
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
it's useful when you have a billion enemies coming at you
i love it and poseidon dash
just take Ares or Poseidon call if you need an invincible escape
leave your dash open for something you can build towards
never
foolish boy
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
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
I wish there was some sort of toggleable indicator that it was recharged
like a sound cue or something
supergiant plz
i think there is
anyway just get Artemis' legendary OmegaLUL
you'll never have to think when you press circle again
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?
normally there's 4 gods + hermes
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
Wait so it's possible to only run into the god with your item once?
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
You will always get the keepsake god first if a god is generated except for scripted events.
Or Hermes
Hammer isn't a god but sure
kek
I said when a god is generated :D
lol I remember the first time I got a hammer immediately I was like what
But ok so using a god item at the start of a run just makes one of the 4 the god you chose
i've also noticed that if you equip it before a run the game will almost always give you it as your landing boon
And using it midway just adds them to the pool
It should always do that, except for hammer and scripted event.
right, i assume it's to make relationship farming less of a random catastrophe--
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
i've been overvaluing spearpoint haven't i...
Does butterfly only last while you have it equipped?
Yup
I want to do a butterfly guan yu
wait, i'm actually not sure, does charon's keepsake last retroactively if you remove it?
It does :D
ahhhhh
So if you have charon, buy stuff before swapping
another keepsake i'm not sure about how i should go about using is nyx's
unless the consensus is "it's bad"
If I'm being honest, I do think it's trash.
fiery presence lole
But erm let's be nice and call it "niche"
I thought thans keepsake was good until I realized how often I take damage
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
Problem with Than is that it blocks you from using other keepsakes
And is outclassed by charon, for example
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?
Just buy a jerky +60% damage which will last you an entire bione
||comically smooshed||

Than requires so much skill
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
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||
i also have noticed hitbox jank with sword's secret aspect
Oh yeah. You can backstab from the side
i think it's intentional? but the sword is about a foot or twelve longer than the swing looks to be
It used to be worse
love how its active through the whole swing
You can backstab from the front
it has more range vertically due to the isometric perspective
and the visuals don't compensate for the 2nd/3rd hits
ah i seeeee
The game is annoying sometimes. Your death is one frame before you are hit.
maybe then i'm just dashing behind the swing effect?
So you can die to things that seem to not hit you.
yeah, last run got burned at the last moment because i dashed long after the spin was over... into the hitbox
i need to just replace the game over noise with a kazoo version
that would make everything better
Yeah. It fair because you do get hit, but the death freeze frame is 1 or 2 frames too early
hades does the game over screen correctly
the most insulting game over/death screen I've ever experienced is mario sunshine
How so?
just listen to it
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
the horn at the end really sells it
Here~ we goooo
also some of the bosses in that game are harder than the bosses in this game
but not for good reasons
anyway
hads
you can check in the codex
it says no spoilers yet has a boss name in the description 
how do i use my ||titan's blood||?
you have to unlock all weapons first
oh okay
What does "Unspoken Bond" mean? ||(Got it for Charon, after we became bff)||
|| 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
ah, good to know, ty 🙂
no problem 
it’s unspoken cause he doesn’t talk
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
check the pinned messages in #h1-story-discussion there's the unlock conditions there ^_^
Thank you! :D
no worries ^_^
dumb question but do chaos boost to atk/special affect separate damage like doom/lightning bolt/hangover?
i think so
no i mean it doesnt probably
oh ok
They don't affect Lightning Bolts etc.
Which aspect do I get for Malphon?
I just want one thats good which do I take
well idk
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
||Sisyphus/Achilles|| are good
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||
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
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
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
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
'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
I got the Chaos Legendary luckily very early in today's run xD
So its all RNG I think
140 runs and no chaos legendary ever
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
What are all of the passive boon slots?
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
stay away, use your attack to destroy projectiles
The shield is also pretty forgiving for the witch circle
if you stay away, even if you dont do anything you wont get hit that much; you can also attack to destroy projectiles
After a whole of fighting the first and second boss, it kinda changes up a little and without spoiling it too much, you get different attack patterns and the like.
While*
dont stand in it?
For the fire you just have to watch where you dash so you're not panic dashing into it
especially when u only heal for 3 each stage
u should be able to dash out instantly and only take like 3 damage from it
do u get starting dmg the more upgrade u get ?
not really
right now the only dmg boost is the red diamond bonus
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.
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
Like ares and I think like Athena are the two that have upgrades that must give you more flat damage
Just*
Is there a list of all the passive slots?
can you reset hade's court without dying?
court?
need to talk to some npcs but they dont show up
nope, you have to die or clear a run in order to refresh the house
damn ty
what's the fastest way? aspect of g-yu, disable mirror, max enemy damage?
People usually just wait it out in the first room
Usually faster to move to the second room. More enemies, chances of traps, etc
disable mirror, definitely
Nope
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*
if you have ||extreme measures on and she's one of the support furies, she'll appear|| (post first clear spoilers)
i just want to be her friend, why does she make everything difficult 😦
She doesn't
That's just the dialogue system
Guys, is there like saving system, when u enter a new floor?
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
wdym, i closed hades midfight, its fine
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
u probably clicked give up
