I quit after I bought anvil

#

leaden whale
#

yeah same

#

interesting

hot yoke
#

But I'm playing on switch

dense laurel
#

im on pc

leaden whale
#

how did you close it?

#

just clicked the big x or smth

dense laurel
#

sometimes the close button son windowed sometimes i clicked quit

leaden whale
#

clicked on quit midfight?

dense laurel
#

yea y

leaden whale
#

huh, i'll see that for myself

#

it's always been unclickable for me until i enter a new room

dense laurel
#

thats post fight

#

do u understand what mid is

leaden whale
#

yeah

#

??

#

you said you clicked on quit midfight

#

i cant click on quit midfight

#

like the option is greyed out until i actually finish and enter the next room

dense laurel
#

huh weird, then probably i just clicked the close button

brave solstice
#

Damn that was my best round against Doomstone yet, barely took any damage. The spear weapon (i forgot the name of it) is super helpful for me

#

YES I DID IT

#

I BEAT THE FURY FOR THE FIRST TIME

#

YAYAYA

dense laurel
#

you beat the furry?

brave solstice
#

I forgot her name

#

Ik it starts with M

floral nacelle
#

Megaera

brave solstice
#

Yeah

stray jacinth
spice spear
#

bow is better

#

well I mean

#

all weapons are great

#

even gun

hot yoke
#

Eris aspect is actually the best meta wise rn

thorny bobcat
#

I can't seem to get a good build on the rail no matter the aspect

#

it's the least fun weapon to use from my experience

hot yoke
#

Playing in gamepad?

thorny bobcat
#

yeah

hot yoke
#

Reload to L

uncut parrot
#

@thorny bobcat meta build is pretty much based on zeus attack with (eris) rail

thorny bobcat
#

I just can't get reliable damage on it if that makes sense

#

it feels like I'm tickling the enemies rather than hitting them

hot yoke
#

Do you have reload on L?

#

Eris: Lightning Strike, Support fire, zeus legendary, sea storm + tidal dash, aphro flourish, zeus aid and smoldering air, rocket bomb, cluster bomb, (maybe demeter duo if jolt)

uncut parrot
#

which rail are you using? when I'm building it it feels like I'm melting the enemies

hot yoke
#

Have fun winning

thorny bobcat
#

I don't know what you mean by reload on L lol

uncut parrot
#

and eris special is a good damage buff

hot yoke
#

Hestia is awesome
Eris is prolly one of the few op things in hades

thorny bobcat
#

usually I either go Eris or hidden aspect

hot yoke
#

Set your reload button to l instead of R3

#

Well hidden aspect is p trash on switch

thorny bobcat
#

I'm on PC

gaunt kernel
#

is the aspect of ||Guan Yu|| any good

hot yoke
#

Try the eris build I posted

hot yoke
#

Secret aspects are spoiler

gaunt kernel
#

sorry

thorny bobcat
#

I'll try it next time I'm in the mood for rail lol

gaunt kernel
#

is it any good

hot yoke
#

It's good but the health penalty is a lot for some people

#

You should definitely max it before playing it

uncut parrot
#

I'm not fond of the spear, but ||gy|| can be nice

#

I suggest building on the special and only using the spin as a side tool

hot yoke
#

Every aspect is except zag

#

Or rather don't use the spin lol

gaunt kernel
#

also any good builds that aren't spear? i have all the god keepsakes except hermes, zeus, and ||demeter||

hot yoke
#

Any good builds that aren't spear? Huh?

#

I need specifics m8

gaunt kernel
#

ive been using spear for far too long

#

i just wanna run a build that isn't spear

hot yoke
#

Give me an aspect I'll pop you a build

uncut parrot
#

all weapons and aspects have their builds

gaunt kernel
#

hera bow?

uncut parrot
#

cast build mainly

hot yoke
#

Sure sec

gaunt kernel
#

and will i need zeus keepsake for it

hot yoke
#

Hera Bow Zeus Dyonisus Duo, dio cast bouncing arrow,  stygian (demeter)| aphro cast, athena duo|Poseidon cast, artemis duo|True shot, exit wounds, mirage shot, cast empowers(legendary, hermes{greater recall} chaos), (heart rend, zeus)

#

| means different build

thorny bobcat
#

you should be switching keepsakes around in between floors

gaunt kernel
#

i do so

#

i just dont have zeus's

hot yoke
#

Also you could play athena cast aphro duo
On switch the hitbox if crush shot on hera is still hella bugged

gaunt kernel
#

im on pc

#

thats the 4th time in 10 minutes ive opened blender when i didnt want to

#

what do you suggest? i'm still relatively new

#

i've reached ||hades|| a few times but never beaten him

hot yoke
#

What do you mean with what do I suggest
Regarding to what?

gaunt kernel
#

what build should i run

hot yoke
#

Practice and upgrading your mirror mostly
Maybe maxing eris since it's easiest to clear with

gaunt kernel
#

i mean what build should i run

uncut parrot
#

not much to say besides keep playing and try stuff, if you want to ask for a specific build just ask here

gaunt kernel
#

message wouldnt send

#

whats eris?

hot yoke
#

Again there's no general build in hades
It always depends on the aspects

gaunt kernel
#

i meant out of the builds you suggested for the bow

hot yoke
#

Rail aspect
The strongest aspect as of current knowledge

uncut parrot
#

depends on your play style, I'd honestly go for whatever seems fun but eris rail is prolly the most reliably broken atm

hot yoke
#

Oh ok
Dio prolly

gaunt kernel
#

dio/zeus?

hot yoke
#

Or you do a merciful end run with fists

#

That's p auto win

uncut parrot
#

well, you said you don't have their keepsake, so either try another build you can force with keepsakes or hope to get lucky

gaunt kernel
#

any specific aspect

#

also im tryna get zeus atm

uncut parrot
#

you will get all keepsakes soon enough, dw

hot yoke
#

On fists the aspect doesn't matter for me
You basically run ares attack, athena special, merciful end duo, athena dash and impending doom

gaunt kernel
#

whats impending doom?

hot yoke
#

When you got the duo(for which you need attack and special) and athena dash then basically hold down attack and spanm dash

#

It's a boon from ares that makes doom take longer to apply but deal more damage

uncut parrot
#

basically, ares and athena duo boon makes your doom effects proc instantly instead of after a delay

gaunt kernel
#

ah

hot yoke
#

It makes triggering with me more consistent and is basically free damage since the extra appliance time doesn't matter with that

uncut parrot
#

and since fists hit fast

#

you're spamming strong doom dmg

#

also doesn't have to be athena special, it can be athena dash

gaunt kernel
#

alright

hot yoke
#

No it has to be athena special

#

Dash isn't a pre req

uncut parrot
#

oh right

hot yoke
#

But you still want dash for the triggers
You should equip ares keepsake first, then athena if you haven't gotten her

uncut parrot
#

yeah, so ares attack, athena special for requirement, athena dash for easier proc and a bunch of doom buffs

hot yoke
#

Boon priority is ares attack>athena special> athena dash> impending doom
The getting the duo is top priority obvs but that's why you're getting the first two boons

gaunt kernel
#

sweet i got ||demeter|| keepsake

#

after this run imma try that

#

i really like ares, doom is fun

#

question

#

if i give up and use a different keepsake will i get the same rarity boons from a different god

uncut parrot
#

never checked that

hot yoke
#

The seed will stay the same
But that's not how rarity is affected

gaunt kernel
#

should i use talos or zag

hot yoke
#

Zag or dem ig
For me
Doesn't really make a difference

#

Secret fists also works well with that

gaunt kernel
#

collosus knuckle, explosive upper, rolling knuckle what should i take

hot yoke
#

What was rolling again

gaunt kernel
#

dash strike +60%, added to attack sqeuence

#

exact wording

hot yoke
#

That's nice yeah

#

Also breaching cross is insane

#

Try to pick it up as your second hammer
It deletes armor

gaunt kernel
#

no doom for my first ares

#

well theres curse of pain but thats not what i want

hot yoke
#

How far is your mirror?

uncut parrot
#

if you only have zag and talos fists, use talos for the pull and additional damage

hot yoke
#

The last 4 upgrades on green really boost your run consistency by a lot

gaunt kernel
#

im very close to the last mirror upgrade

#

only 4 keys i think

hot yoke
#

Using special gets you far less dps

gaunt kernel
#

away

hot yoke
#

I can recommend having the last 4 mirror options green

#

Except privileged status if you're doing a hangover build f.e.

uncut parrot
#

was thinking mostly of the pull tbh

#

cause might as well

hot yoke
#

Yeah but using that still interrupts your damage rotation

#

Just spamming attack and dash gets you way more than interrupting it for special and dash every couple seconds for the buff

uncut parrot
#

I'm not saying to use it mid-combo or something, just to use it to get the enmeies to you

hot yoke
#

Or dash to the enemies which is way quicker

#

Also passive dodge is always active

#

I mean I can see talos being better then demeter for ME

#

Definetly

uncut parrot
#

he was asking for between zag and talos, that's it

sterile solar
#

Bendo where is your pic from

hot yoke
gaunt kernel
#

if i purge a boon can i get it again or no

hot yoke
#

You can get it again

#

You should afaik

gaunt kernel
#

damn i shoulda purged

#

i only have basic Doom

#

only 50 damage ;-;

#

*rare doom

#

thanks muse

hot yoke
#

Rarity isn't everything
The duo is the most important in this case

brave solstice
#

Damn I got the Hydra to half health on my first try

#

I think its just cause I arrived with low health and not to great of Boons

modern pike
#

I have a little problem with ||poseidon|| sword. I build generally powerful on cast and special (like artemis cast) but I get fried past the 3rd boss (by the ||satyrs etc in Styx|| so I have almost no health left for last boss

#

I feel like building on cast is fine when facing "normal" enemies but too slow in the area mentioned above

#

Any ideas? Or better boon choices?

hot yoke
#

I can throw down a few builds
Are you taking exit wounds?

harsh leaf
#

You gotta take boons specifically to deal with large amounts of enemies, too. Splash Dash, any good % special boon, etc

lyric quiver
#

Do you get anything special for killing ||Charon||?

hearty ore
#

Yes

pulsar frigate
#

yes, you get ||the bag of money that you have to borrow, and a card that grants -20% on prices until you die that run||

thick prism
#

so thats how you get that achievement

sterile solar
#

Yes

sterile solar
brave solstice
#

Bruh they just stuck a new fury on me like that and said “screw you”

#

I got past but damn

ebon thicket
#

XD

#

wait till you upgrade it for ||lernie||

leaden whale
#

yeah its +9/7/5 minutes every area

ebon thicket
#

crazy

pastel cipher
#

||Heat and the pact|| are both considered spoilers in this channel, please use spoiler tags ^_^ @leaden whale @ebon thicket

ebon thicket
#

OH IM SORRY!

#

my bad ;;

pastel cipher
#

no worries, for future reference the channel is intended for new hades players, so they don't necessarily know what those things are ^_^

ebon thicket
#

fair, maybe my mindset is once credits roll tutorial is over probably isnt best for discord rules XD

#

Ill keep the questions to discussion then lol

leaden whale
#

ah my bad

pastel cipher
ebon thicket
#

will do

hot yoke
brave solstice
#

I defeated the ||Bone Hydra|| shadesmile shadesmile shadesmile

hot yoke
#

No worries
That's not spoilers

ebon thicket
#

XD fair

brave solstice
#

Oh alright

ebon thicket
#

and grats man

#

good feels

modern pike
#

Sorry for late reply got busy

#

But yes I take exit wounds if offered

#

@hot yoke any suggestions are welcome yes

#

@harsh leaf thank you for the tip on splash dash, should have thought of it sooner

hot yoke
#

I can bump a few build ideas

#

Poseidon Build: Athena or aphrodite cast, parting shot duo, exit wounds artemis|Parting shot (Aphro, athena), exit wounds, electric shot|Flood shot, exit wounds, sea storm

modern pike
#

Electric shot? So zeus cast

hot yoke
#

Yes

#

I'd recommend that the least tho prolly

#

Of the ideas suggested here

#

Not overall

modern pike
#

What's parting shot? Duo?

hot yoke
#

Yes

#

Makes casts backstab

#

And do additional backstab damage

modern pike
#

Ok how's athenas cast good?

#

Does it stick?

hot yoke
#

Yup

modern pike
#

Oh, I thought it shot like a ball for deflect

#

I'll try that if offered

hot yoke
#

Best of luck

modern pike
#

Danke and thank you for the advice

hot yoke
#

Kein Problem

void tendon
#

Ayyyy got my first clear in hades on 14th run

sterile solar
#

👌

#

Now go do it again

#

That's p fast dawg

#

Yeah seriously, nice work!

hot yoke
fathom mulch
#

14th run I wasn't consistently making it to Elysium 😆 . I still haven't gotten a clear but I now feel like I make it to Styx about half the time and my run count is somewhere in the 30s now

#

(are area names spoilers? fixed just in case)

hot yoke
#

No they aren't

#

Final boss name is tho

fathom mulch
#

cool, makes sense

You don't even olay TD1

You suck more

(post-first clear spoilers) ||I just had my first TD1 win (10 heat) and I had over 17 minutes left on the timer||

hot yoke
#

Tag pls

#

||heat|| is a spoiler in this channel

sterile solar
#

How about ||cold||

digital grove

is that better

#

sorry about that

hot yoke

How about ||bouldy ...||

sterile solar

👌 bouldy

No worries

hot yoke

#

also I forgot I was in new players channel for a moment

hot yoke
#

Lol we all make mistakes

#

Except me ofc

sterile solar
#

Youre a mistake

hot yoke
#

I thought you could handle me hating you better

sterile solar
#

I cant

#

Too much

hot yoke
#

Fair

#

I make no mistakes
Cause I am a mistake

sterile solar
void tendon
#

@hot yoke thaaaanks. Now i just need to figure out a melee weapon to run

hot yoke
#

All with time
First clears the hardest :D

void tendon
#

I have hardly any keepsakes. Maybe i should focus on just farming that first

digital grove
#

Yeah focus on getting those first

#

those are important

#

first nectar to a person gives a keepsake

#

so just give everyone their first nectar first

#

and maybe hold off on giving another nectar until you have most keepsakes

#

the olympians and story room keepsakes for sure

#

and ones in the house

hot yoke
#

^

digital grove
#

I use Olympian keepakes a lot to help my runs

#

if I want a specific boon

#

or just a specific god for a run

#

(God pool mechanics spoilers) ||it's the only way to get more than 4 gods (besides Hermes) in a run too||

#

using god keepsakes I mean

#

the spoiler above is just mechanical regarding gods you see in runs

hot yoke
#

Also chaos doesn't count either

digital grove
#

You haven't

#

can you DM me the new discoveries?

#

I'm very interested

#

and yeah chaos doesn't count either

#

I didn't think about them bc the curse is temporary

#

and chaos works way differently than other gods mechanically in my mind

modern pike
#

@hot yoke I DID IT THANKS TO YOUR ADVICE

hot yoke
#

Awesome!!!

#

Feels goodsquirtyay

upbeat mason
#

oh can you dm me the new discovery as well

#

or just... drop it and spoiler it here

hot yoke
#

||4 gods will appear naturally and you can force more via keepsake. But if you have more than 4 gods, one won't get kicked out. ||

#

And before the assumption was that if you get ||more than for gods, one of the previous ones will randomly get kicked out||

sterile solar
#

ill kick you out

hot yoke
#

Try

sterile solar
foggy radish
#

yo an hour in and i finally took out the first boss

#

sterile solar
#

👌

foggy radish
#

seriously tho, loving this game
will suffer through this again

sterile solar
#

Welcome to the underworld

#

And thanks for dying!

fathom mulch
#

I just discovered the ||tiny vermin|| (spoilers: final area boss) and I'm in a mix of dying laughing and being a bit frustrated it just stripped both my death defies and killed this beautiful run

sterile solar
#

It is a mini boss for a reason

#

Did you try not dying tho?

fathom mulch
#

it's mini but sheesh is it rough 🤣

autumn depot
#

In ||styx|| I always go for the non-mini bosses first

sterile solar
#

Mini bosses tend to be easier than normal rooms

#

In the long run

#

At the beginning they might seem overwhelming

sly vigil
#

yeah with some experience, minibosses are more manageable and faster than normal tunnels

#

with double awards, too

fathom mulch
#

I was only 200 max health so I went for the chamber with the centaur heart cause I felt like I needed the extra health, boss or no

sterile solar
#

Always yes

fathom mulch
#

I'd done the minibosses before. I sure didn't expect that 🤣

#

(I guess not enough to roll it but so it goes)

sterile solar
#

If you are confident you can clear the room, theres no reason not to do all of them

fathom mulch
#

I'm way far from confident I can clear the room though 🙂

#

The ||satyr sack|| can be in any room including miniboss ones, right?

sterile solar
#

Yes

autumn depot
#

Can it be in the first room?

sterile solar
#

No

#

If its in a boss room, you just got yourself a double reward for free

leaden whale
#

acorn should be available for ||tiny vermin||

sterile solar
#

Lmao

#

It specifically says the final boss im sure

leaden whale
#

I take more damage on that fight than the final boss

#

Got my first victory today

#

I didn't realize what I was in for. And I love it

🎊

leaden whale
#

🎉

sullen lava
#

Can I share my run here or should I put it in victory boasting?

thick prism
#

victory boasting would be preferable

fathom mulch
#

Does Vanquisher's Keep replace darkness or add gems on top of darkness for killing bosses?

leaden whale
#

adds gems on top

#

I have a very large amount of gems because of it lol

fathom mulch
#

nice, thanks 🙂

leaden whale
#

np

empty heath
#

How do I get || a diamond? I've never encountered one||

leaden whale
#

it's a reward from ||the boss of the area after tartarus||

empty heath
#

Thanks!

leaden whale
#

any good OP builds for Malphon Fists?

upbeat mason
#

take zeus attack, jolted boon, get the increased bounce in hopes you get the legendary

leaden whale
#

hah... everyone suggests that... is it really that good?

#

also I need to map my dash button to something else just for the malphon xD

upbeat mason
#

its probably the second best fist build but is the most consistent

leaden whale
#

whats the first best then? xD

upbeat mason
#

merciful end

#

you need ares attack, athena special and dash, and the duo boon

leaden whale
#

Zeus attack is crazy on fists and gun

#

which duo boon? Ares and Athena?

#

yeah

#

I see... I think I have seen that with the Sword in the Fresh Save Speed Run

#

its pretty OP

#

also, is Boiling Blood better or Abyssal Blood? against Bosses?

#

Small tip for the duo-boons, an upgrade you get from the contractor will allow you to see all the boons a god can give you, as well as the required combo(s) to make a certain duo boon

leaden whale
leaden whale
#

Yeah... i think I'll go with the Zeus Lightning Fists... since its the most consistent and you dont need that many Boons to set it up

sly vigil
#

1.0 came with some changes to Zag Fists. Attack speed no longer applies.

#

The vid is a bit outdated.

#

(For those who want to say "but attack speed was kind of a placebo," yeah it was. But the dude has Rolling Knuckle so the effect matters.)

pastel cipher
#

the attack speed bonus only applied to the first strike of the 5 hit combo, so it did matter for dash strike builds also

sly vigil
#

Yeah that's why it put the parentheses sentence in anticipation for that. Rolling Knuckle also amplify this. But you know how people like to add the little technical details.

pastel cipher
#

mmhm, for sure, I kinda hoped there'd be something to replace the attack speed bonus

#

but alas that's not the case bittieCry

sly vigil
#

Like longer range? And add Long Knuckle on top?

#

Just maybe squirtdevious

gray haven
#

I guess it got buffed by us finding out that Dodge is additive.

pastel cipher
#

mmhm, that's true

sly vigil
#

I'm still so confused. I saw Haelian vid where he went 161% dodge if it was additive and still got tagged.

#

Then there is bablo's (I think) vid where he wasn't

#

Who to trust lol

pastel cipher
#

something might have changed between Haelian and bablo's video

pulsar frigate
#

were they both during the same patch?

sly vigil
#

No.

#

Haelian's is a bit older

dense laurel
#

conclusion: shrodiger's dodge

pulsar frigate
#

sgg shadowbuffed dodge? thanthink

sly vigil
#

But did they really shadow change it from multiplicative/capped to additive?

pastel cipher
#

is it additive or inverse multiplicative, look at it and it changes squirtdevious

dense laurel
#

aw man if only there is a stat page

sly vigil
#

It's no fair. They changed the outcome by playing the game.

gray haven
#

There were certain attacks that were impossible to dodge until they fixed it.

sly vigil
#

Ok I guess this makes sense.

leaden whale
#

I think the devs should have added Medusa as a Boss

#

since she's the most well know and favorite of all

sly vigil
#

We already have Maid Dusa (who in my head canon is a descendant/clone of the OG Medusa).

#

And you have the Mega ||Gorgon|| in the second biome as miniboss.

leaden whale
#

yeah I know... but still it'd have been cooler if we had a secret ||boss fight with the OG Medusa like the Charon one we have||

daring delta
#

Don't know what the score is on Perseus in Hades, but he did cut off Medusas head

#

Mythologically

#

Maybe that's why Dusa doesn't have a body

leaden whale
#

yeah... but they could add a DLC boss fight where Chaos summons the OG Medusa

sly vigil
#

Yeah. A lot of people want a lot of things in the game. Apollo was a fan favorite and people have been asking where he is. Same with Hera.

#

But SGG vision is different. And obviously you can't add everyone in Greek pantheon to the game.

#

Best you can do is hope ig.

#

The game is big enough that a DLC is possible. Though I wouldn't hold my breath.

pastel cipher
#

it's possible, however Supergiant wanted to tell a specific story and with how that story unfolds I don't know how they would add on a dlc from there

brittle basalt
#

jesus, i need so many f those shadow orb

#

why do u need so many

glossy marsh
#

I finally beat Meg!

uncut parrot
#

grats

brave solstice
#

Beating Meg for the first time is always a good feeling

#

I think shes ranked in the middle for the level of difficulty between Furies

brittle basalt
#

god's pride or legacy ?

brave solstice
#

Wait there’s different versions? (Im super new to the game)

brittle basalt
#

ya

brave solstice
#

Idk which one then

#

But Alecto is the easiest of them for me

upbeat mason
#

legacy opens up a lot of build, i recommend going for that

brittle basalt
#

Olympian favor or dark foresight ?

upbeat mason
#

dark foresight once you have enough darkness

leaden whale
warm whale
#

@leaden whale ||it's heavily implied Dusa is Medusa, and she's somewhat ashamed of her past life. After her death, her blood ran into the earth and created the gorgon heads that litter the underworld||

leaden whale
#

I see... I havent read the Codex yet... but its good to know that she exists... although, I'd like her to come back as a Boss in a DLC or something

#

.

#

Also, Boiling Blood vs Abyssal Blood, which is better? and does it work on Bosses as well?

upbeat mason
#

boiling

#

works on bosses

#

they're not even comparable

leaden whale
#

I see... so Abyssal doesnt work on Bosses? or it just doesn't give you the same output as the other one?

Hello guys. Newbie here.
Just tried playing the cast bow with Aphro cast but the thing seems a little weird. sometimes the cast just go pass the enemy. is it a bug or something? or i just need to git gud

upbeat mason
leaden whale
#

I don't like Aphrodite Cast... its too close range

leaden whale

#

trippy shot is by far the best cast for cast bow build

#

I like poseidon cast for that as well

#

make destroying them a top priority

brittle basalt
#

i mean dashing through those wave is no pronlem

#

its when u have to dodge hades too

terse tree
#

the spin attacks are the main problems if you are having difficulties about dodging

#

||hades|| lunges forward when he performs it, so dash the other way

buoyant quarry
#

what shoudl I get for my first aspect?

#

I have 4 titan blood

leaden whale
#

so I defeated HADES with the Zagreus Shield and Ares Doom

#

pretty OP

#

Shield is probably the Best Weapon in the game right now lol xD

uncut parrot
#

@buoyant quarry up to you since you will get better results if it's a weapon you like, but chaos shield and chiron bow are lackluster when you just unlock them without further investment

#

although they can become really strong

#

eris rail is probably the strongest known meta atm and can work even when just unlocked

buoyant quarry
#

so should I get aris?

leaden whale
#

yeah... I have seen Eris Rail lol xD

uncut parrot
#

if you like the rail play style then why not

#

that being said

#

eris rail at lvl 1 is not that different from basic rail

#

just a small damage boost

buoyant quarry
#

i got it to lvl 2

uncut parrot
#

aight

#

basically, try to get zeus attack on it

#

and some lightning buffs

buoyant quarry
#

i got ares as my first

uncut parrot
#

on top of that, pose/aphro special, pose/Athena dash and artemis seeking arrows are great too

buoyant quarry
#

actually i clicked give up

#

and it reset where i didnt buy the aspect yet

uncut parrot
#

as for hammer, cluster (the 5 special) is great, as well as rocket special and targeting system

buoyant quarry
#

i dont really want to use rail right now

#

whats the easiest weapon?

uncut parrot
#

no real easiest weapon, as it depends on your affinity with it

#

like I suck at spear but some ppl like it a lot

#

also it's more a matter of aspect than weapon

#

since some aspects will go for a different style entirely (like a cast build)

buoyant quarry
#

so what would you recommend

#

i like soemthing thats a little more brain dead lol for now

#

i like to attack then dodge, attack dodge

uncut parrot
#

well, eris rail was the closest I got to click to win but you odn't want to play that atm

leaden whale
#

The Twin Fists with Zeus Lightning and Aegis Shield with Ares Doom is pretty Brain Dead

uncut parrot
#

shield can become kinda brain dead once you got it but it's block rather than dodge

leaden whale
#

I too dont like the Rail Gun that much

buoyant quarry
#

what aspect for twin fist

leaden whale
#

any aspect will do

#

I personally use Talos... the 2nd one

uncut parrot
#

for fist you can also go for ares athena duo boon road, not the easiest to build but really storng

leaden whale
#

Zeus and Athena Dash is really easy and powerful on the Twin Fists

uncut parrot
#

yeah, that's pretty much the same build as eris rail

buoyant quarry
#

kk so i should get fist with talos?

uncut parrot
#

doesnt really matter tbh, with that build you will use all the fists the same way so basic fist would work too

sullen lava
#

Okay so what exactly do the skull symbols mean for the gates exactly?

leaden whale
#

true... Zagreus Fist has a chance for Dodge...which works really good

sullen lava
#

They seem to indicate harder fights and better rewards

uncut parrot
#

that's pretty much it

sullen lava
#

But I'm not really able to tell beyond that

uncut parrot
#

difficult fight

sullen lava
#

Ah gotcha then

uncut parrot
#

can be a miniboss monster and there is a particular one in elysium

sullen lava
#

I thought there might be more info to discern

#

Which one in Elysium?

leaden whale
sullen lava
#

For that One miniboss?

uncut parrot
#

@sullen lava spoiling jus in case || room 30 skulll fight is either miniboss soul catcher or solo asterius fight||

buoyant quarry
#

i got the shield with chaos aspect

#

what bonns are good

leaden whale
#

for Shield... Ares is really Good with Athena Dash

buoyant quarry
#

which ares

#

i just got ares

uncut parrot
#

zeus on special is nice too, but def better when upgraded

buoyant quarry
#

special?

#

for ares

leaden whale
upper raft
#

what does Alecto's rage meter do? It seems like it should trigger specific attacks but if it does, i can't figure out which

leaden whale
#

for Twin Fists, Zeus Lightning Attack is OP... On top of that any boons you find are a plus

#

and Athena Dash is really good if you get it

#

btw... which Aid/Call is really good against Bosses?

#

Artemis?

#

Aphro call is really good

#

I also love Poseidon

#

as a panic button

#

Yeah... Aphrodite's Call turns enemies against each other for a while... its really good

#

Poseidon and Ares has tracking problems

#

Tracking problems?

#

Oh, on controller?

#

Aphrodite call at max is beeg damage

#

Arty is a worse aphro call imo

#

Although I love Artemis' Call, as it drains Half Health at full gauge against Theseus

leaden whale
leaden whale
thick prism
#

im fond of dio and poseidon call myself

leaden whale
#

i'm not sure how it was before v1.0

#

aphro has higher guaranteed damage

#
  • it's got a charm
#

But Artemis' is Unblockable and can Crit

#

yeah, "can"

#

it's got a 30% crit chance

#

it's 10 arrows at max gauge so that's a 3% chance to get 3k damage or smth

#

aphro is 2.5k guaranteed and can stun

#

I see... may be I'll try to compare both of them in some future runs

lyric forge
#

I'm fairly certain that the odds of all 10 arrows from Arty critting simulatenously is much, much, much lower than 3%.

leaden whale
#

maybe. if the crit chance really is 30% per arrow, then it should be 3% for all 10

#

i just did the maths on vanilla call

#

oh, my maths was wrong

#

wait, i'm confused myself

#

no, it's right

#

just add them

#

since they're mutually exclusive

#

i'm just talking to myself

#

it's just 0.3*10

#

I thought it was 0.3^10

static anvil
#

Ew math

leaden whale
#

I took stats sophomore year and I do not remember much

#

i don't think so, it's just the sum

#

i cant find any video rating the Calls/Aids

#

i actually had to look up just now since i doubted myself lmao

#

"If two events are mutually exclusive, then the probability of either occurring is the sum of the probabilities of each occurring."

#

Wait

#

its just a person's preference

#

No

#

the arrows aren't mutually exclusive

#

you're right

#

it's 1 am for me pls forgive

#

so it would be .3^10 which is very small lool

gray haven
#

0.3*10
You know that's 3, right? dusa

civic needle
#

It happens 100% of the time, three times, every time

#

Seems OP

gray haven
#

300% chance for all arrows to crit. I'll take that.

leaden whale
#

please

#

i'm legit reading probability for middle school right now

civic needle
#

That seems like overkill, lol, just think about it logically and you'll be fine

#

You want ten things to happen, each with a 30% chance of them happening, so it's a 30% chance to happen, then another and another, etc.

#

So you just multiply 30% ten times, ez

leaden whale
#

0.3^10 is right, i'm an idiot

#

why am i in college

civic needle
#

Hey, I have a mathematics major and still make math mistakes.

leaden whale
#

anw aphro call > arty, thanks for coming to my ted talk

civic needle
#

You're not a calculator 😛

leaden whale
#

that's actually a really low chance

gray haven
#

I am not a math major, and I never make math mistakes.

#

Ever.

leaden whale
#

odd flex

gray haven
#

Calculators make errors all the time. Mine refuses to divide by zero. squirtooh

leaden whale
#

it's a 1/169350 chance

civic needle
#

You know, there is a difference between not making a mistake, and recognizing you made a mistake ;P

leaden whale
#

calc taught me that something divided by zero is ±infinity

civic needle
#

No

#

It's not.

leaden whale
#

unless if it's 0

#

then u gotta wriggle the equation

#

well it isn't infinity but the limit of the equation as x approaches that number is infinity

civic needle
#

Yes, there you go.

leaden whale
#

isn't that just for limits

#

oh

civic needle
#

Specificity is important.

leaden whale
#

u sound like my calc teacher

civic needle
#

I could be your calc teacher 😄

#

Well, I'd have to brush up on my calc anyways, I'm pretty rusty >>

leaden whale
#

its 0.0000059049 chance to crit on Artemis' Aid

gray haven
#

Artemis' Aid can backstab, and the damage can be buffed with poms, Heart Rend, etc.

leaden whale
#

how high can you get pressure points with poms realistically

#

and its Unblockable by Shielded enemies like the 3rd Boss

gray haven
#

He can't block Aphrodite's Aid, either.

#

Kind of irrelevant on Theseus, anyway, because you'll want to backstab him with Artemis' Aid.

civic needle
#

Zeus and Artemis aid both feel the most satisfying to use.

#

Zeus is probably my favorite if I can get a decent double strike boon, tho

leaden whale
#

He cant block Artemi's Aid even from the front

gray haven
#

Yes, but you'll want the backstab damage.

leaden whale
#

with nemesis and 10% pressure points there's a 2.8% chance of all 10 critting

gray haven
#

With Aphrodite's Aid in that fight, you're better off just making those two kill each other. More damage that way.

leaden whale
gray haven
#

It can. Activating any call gives you i-frames.

civic needle
#

I'm usually playing with melee weapons, though, so I tend to be pretty close to and stay pretty close to whatever I'm fighting.

gray haven
#

Nemesis only gives crit chance to Attack.

leaden whale
#

so Artemis' and Aphrodite's Aid is up there for debate 😛

#

oh I had no clue

civic needle
#

Even if Aphrodite's aid were the best aid mathematically by a mile, I'd still never use it.

#

It never feels as fun as Artemis or Zeus

leaden whale
#

Poseidon is my favorite aid for the fun factor

gray haven
#

I'd only take Artemis' Aid for Heart Rend builds or if it's like the last boon or something. But it's really good for those.

civic needle
#

"Cowabunga it is" -Poseidon's Aid

leaden whale
#

wheeeeeeee

civic needle
#

It's a very subjective thing, but the best way I can describe it is that Aphrodite's aid feels weak, and looks visually unimpressive compared to firing off Artemis' Arrows, or calling down Zeus' Lightning

#

It would be totally different if, say, rather than shooting a seeking heart, Aphrodite's aid blasted whatever was in front of you with a kamehameha-beam-attack type thing, because it would look like it hurt as much as it actually hurts

leaden whale
gray haven
#

It's pretty lenient. Probably a bit longer than an empty dash? Somewhere around that, anyway.

leaden whale

I would rather have my heart broken than get shot by an arrow or struck by lightning tbh 😄

Some people do

#

Most I think play on normal

uncut parrot
#

played on normal but after taking a look, the hell mode downside doesn't seem like it would matter much as you'd want to avoid getting hit that hard anyway

#

and if the ||heat|| it gives counts for the prizes, it might actually make some challenges late-game easier

leaden whale
#

double bar

#

i saw someone on here who regretted playing on hell mode since it had a ||mandatory pact condition|| they didn't want

uncut parrot
#

woops, I'm tired it seems

#

hard to say when everything moves fast, but it feels like the temporary i-frames you get after taking a big hit in normal mode is something I never end up having, because I die from multiple hits rather than a big one

#

in that case, that hell mode 'downside' would actually end up being beneficial when doing ||skelly's prizes since it's free heat||

wooden trench

Do I get more diamonds then one for ||deafeating second boss with each weapon||? Because then I had to choose two or three of those upgrades, because I cant afford all; and I'm afraid of picking the wrong ones and ruining the save state

#

which of the options are smart to pick for Eurydice

ember citrus
#

@wooden trench yess you do

#

@worthy osprey i prefer first option

wooden trench
#

ah, okay. so no chance to "skill wrong" in this game

uncut parrot

you will eventually unlock trade for diamonds with the broker, and a post-clear mechanic will allow you to farm more

wooden trench
#

ah, I already got that options for 10 nectar

worthy osprey
ember citrus
#

Not every run i think

#

For me it is around 1 /2 to 2 out of 3

uncut parrot
#

@wooden trench keep in mind that it means that gems, keys and nectar can all be eventually turned into diamonds

#

for eurydice option, it depends on your current build

wooden trench
#

that you for that advice. For now I'm stuck at the 3rd boss

uncut parrot
#

if you have very few boons, they are core and/or feeling lucky, pick the first

#

if you have a bunch of boons you might want to pick the second. Buff is weaker but more rng friendly

#

if you are still looking for your core boons, might want the pick the third

Personally I'd save at least one for a thing you can't buy until you reach the end boss (spoilers for that thing: ||there's a fishing rod that costs a diamond and using it gets you extra gems, nectar, and a ton more when you trade fish to the head chef. plus it's fun||)

fathom mulch
# sly vigil Do you know how to avoid the ||lasers||?

For those I just circle strafed away from them and that seemed alright but I kept running into the ||urns|| trying to avoid other things. If you mean the ||multicolored ones that come out in a wide circular pattern|| than no, I have no clue

uncut parrot
#

||you dodge the big lasers by hiding behind the rock pillars, as for the shock waves, you either dash through it or destroy the skull before it triggers||

#

||or go far enough to be out of reach||

ember citrus
#

You can hug him to avoid the laser

sly vigil
#

Spoiler for certain mechanics of final boss: ||For the 3 beam lasers, you can continuously dash behind and strafe the lasers. The turn rate is quite low so you can get in some free hits. As for the omni directional lasers, you can dash on top of Hades. There is a safe spot there. Then you can attack him for the duration. Of course you can also hide behind rocks like normal.||

oh cool, thanks!

||and yeah, for the shock waves I was mostly relying on destroying the skulls, which served me well enough in the first phase||

Chaos: Ares Attack/Demeter Attack, Zeus Special,Jolted, ideally Splitting Bolt, ideally Divine Dash or something to enable Privilege Status if you don't have Jolted

What weapon y’all recommend upgrading first

hot yoke
#

Eris aspect

#

For rail

floral nacelle
#

whatever you like, but I think I upgraded the basic zag aspects first and chiron bow

dry hatch
#

What is the eris aspect

floral nacelle
#

railgun aspect

hot yoke
#

Eris will give you the most bang for your buck powers level wise
Otherwise I can agree with @floral nacelle on the whatever you like part

floral nacelle
#

after you stand in special, you do more damage

hot yoke
#

Global damage
One if the few global damage bonuses in the game

dry hatch
#

Ahh aspect of eris

hot yoke
#

Also the zag bow aspect only costs 5 blood to upgrade and gives you a nice benefit if you like bow

#

Also a lot of people find chiron easy to play with
But that wants to be maxed
Similar to eris

question: I’m trying to do the fated list and get stuff I haven’t got, is it better to get a heroic or a duo?

Post-first-win question: ||If I do a run with a heat bounty on, and I haven't yet gotten the no-heat reward for that weapon on a boss, do I get two of whatever at once, or just the one?||

ohhh okay I see

floral nacelle

and you get just the one bounty

I’ll just do the duo

get as much darkness/gems rn

there's a plot thing later too in which you need a lot of darkness too

so I need 35k just to max out mirror

I only have like 1k lol

maybe only if you've already bought something at the shop?

#

ill try it out

#

the game will let you leave every time the autosave symbol appears in the top right, but will force you to Give Up the first time you’ve taken damage in a room or after you picked up an item with a choice (boon, pom, etc)

#

and then it’ll reset when you autosave again, of course

#

interesting thing to note too, the game autosaves after you pick up a choice item in a regular chamber, but doesn’t after you buy such an item in charon’s shop

Hello guys new player here, question so I was running earlier and didn't notice that there is a chaos room available and Chaos communicate to me saying "I summon you" something like that but I already click to go next room, after few runs I encounter chaos but Chaos did not give kr say anything like that again. Did I miss something or is it just random Chaos phrase thing?

sly vigil
#

It's a random phrase.

#

You didn't miss anything. Don't worry.

technically he did summon you

"CERBERUS IMPRESSED"

#

i laughed

#

ive made it to surface about 5 or 6 times and every time i watch to see the cerberus message

pastel cipher
#

@floral nacelle that's definitely a spoiler, especially for newer players so please use spoiler tags ^_^ ||the cerberus non fight thing||

stoic dagger
#

i need some tips for defeating the heroes because every time i get to the end of elysium i get wrecked

dense laurel
stoic dagger
#

ive seen that one too!

leaden whale
#

focus asterius over theseus, and just get a habit of know what the animation wind-ups are

leaden whale
#

when theseus does his first call is when he's most availble to take hits

dense laurel
#

spear is more annoying than the running guy with axe

stoic dagger
#

spear is very annoying

#

i can stop the axe charge consistently but i keep stopping it and putting myself in a position where im vulnerable to the spear throw

#

and of course its always ready

sleek spire
floral nacelle
#

And of course you need to hide behind a pillar but it can be hard to time it

stoic dagger
#

have i noticed correctly that it has a maximum range

#

or am i seeing things wrong

dense laurel
#

i jsut kill theseus first since its easier for my case

leaden whale
#

yeah... theseus' spear is the most annoying... it does a TON of damage, even when resisted

stoic dagger
#

theseus is kind of annoying to kill though because of his shield

leaden whale
stoic dagger
#

i do see the cycle where he throws the spear, calls it back, then walks to the edge and hes vulnerable while walking

dense laurel
#

then again, i even use my bow like melee so

stoic dagger
#

but its hard to capitalize on that when im also having to kite the bull

#

doesnt matter because my last run was a W because i ended up using a grand total of 6 death defies

#

shoutout to chaos

leaden whale
#

6?!!😱

stoic dagger
#

lmao yeah

#

had no right losing the first one, died to the fury

leaden whale
#

thats bad

#

Fury is easy

stoic dagger
#

had bad boons

sleek spire
stoic dagger
#

my run was held together by dreams, elmers stick glue, and luck

sleek spire
#

just try to kill asterius while trying to avoid spear throws

leaden whale
#

I run Stubborn Defiance, so technically its just 1 Death Defiance for me every fight lol xD

stoic dagger
#

got the dio/poseidon duo boon on the way out of tartarus ||all of your boons are epic or above||

#

so i had good numbers even if i had no synergies

dense laurel
#

make it 2/3 with athena boon and chaos legend

stoic dagger
#

i got the chaos legend

#

in elysium

#

that was a pog moment

#

lost two defies in elysium

#

refilled one in styx and used 3 on hades

#

literally too angry to die

leaden whale
#

I sometimes find Theseus harder than Hades, to be honest!

stoic dagger
#

i feel like there's way more visual clutter on the theseus battle than the hades battle

leaden whale
#

||nuking theseus|| is my favorite part of all my runs lol

stoic dagger
#

its harder to understand whats happening

leaden whale
#

true true

stoic dagger
#

like i got no idea what his deal is half the time

leaden whale
#

with something you unlock later

stoic dagger
#

laaaaame

Hades: Come for the roguelike, stay for aphrodite sprite

#

I always lure asterius behind the pillars. That way theseus won't be able to hit me with his spear.

leaden whale
#

yea

leaden whale
#

||than's||

sleek spire
#

artemis' call is also a great way to nuke theseus

stoic dagger
#

yeah my problem is i make him run into the pillar and then i end up right next to theseus

lyric quiver
#

Athena dash will help a lot when deflectingasterius attacks

leaden whale
dense laurel
#

i nuke theseus with the greatest insult: bouldy

stoic dagger
#

i think my underlying issue is that i cant keep track of theseus

#

its easy to see asterius because the lad is huge

#

but theseus can get hidden behind lightning bolts and axe swings

leaden whale
#

I usually rely on sound cues

#

and the crosshair

stoic dagger
#

and then theseus thanks the crowd for subbing to his onlyfans

floral nacelle
#

Plus he blocks all the time

leaden whale
#

the 3rd Boss Fight background also has a lot of Graphic Noise... so its even harder to keep track of whats going on

stoic dagger
#

yeah i play with music on

#

and i sometimes play in a voice call

#

and im hearing impaired

#

audio cues arent a solution

leaden whale
#

are SGG gonna port the game to PS and XBox yet?

lyric quiver
#

Yeah, i think i tried to nuke asterius really fast instead on my first clear there. A point blank special for bow rips a lot of health.

stoic dagger
#

im so happy this game has amazing subtitles

#

the captioning is great

#

love it

leaden whale
stoic dagger
#

does twin shot bow reduce your range

#

that is a thing right

leaden whale
#

not noticeably from my experience

stoic dagger
#

it was very noticeable when i took it 😦

leaden whale
#

it reduces it to 2/3

#

but u get double damage

slender kraken
#

twin shot reduces range by halfish
