then its abug, since ive done it a dozen times
But I'm playing on switch
im on pc
sometimes the close button son windowed sometimes i clicked quit
clicked on quit midfight?
yea y
huh, i'll see that for myself
it's always been unclickable for me until i enter a new room
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
huh weird, then probably i just clicked the close button

Theres a way to recover the run when that happens in #h1-tech-fixes
i'll check it out, thanks! for the next time i do something stupid again lol
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
you beat the furry?
Megaera
Yeah
Ye the spear is so good, I also like the shield tho.
Eris aspect is actually the best meta wise rn
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
Playing in gamepad?
yeah
Reload to L
@thorny bobcat meta build is pretty much based on zeus attack with (eris) rail
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
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)
which rail are you using? when I'm building it it feels like I'm melting the enemies
Have fun winning
I don't know what you mean by reload on L lol
and eris special is a good damage buff
Hestia is awesome
Eris is prolly one of the few op things in hades
usually I either go Eris or hidden aspect
I'm on PC
is the aspect of ||Guan Yu|| any good
Try the eris build I posted
Tag the name pls
Secret aspects are spoiler
sorry
I'll try it next time I'm in the mood for rail lol
is it any good
It's good but the health penalty is a lot for some people
You should definitely max it before playing it
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
also any good builds that aren't spear? i have all the god keepsakes except hermes, zeus, and ||demeter||
Give me an aspect I'll pop you a build
.
all weapons and aspects have their builds
hera bow?
cast build mainly
Sure sec
and will i need zeus keepsake for it
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
you should be switching keepsakes around in between floors
Also you could play athena cast aphro duo
On switch the hitbox if crush shot on hera is still hella bugged
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
What do you mean with what do I suggest
Regarding to what?
what build should i run
Practice and upgrading your mirror mostly
Maybe maxing eris since it's easiest to clear with
i mean what build should i run
not much to say besides keep playing and try stuff, if you want to ask for a specific build just ask here
Again there's no general build in hades
It always depends on the aspects
i meant out of the builds you suggested for the bow
Rail aspect
The strongest aspect as of current knowledge
depends on your play style, I'd honestly go for whatever seems fun but eris rail is prolly the most reliably broken atm
Oh ok
Dio prolly
dio/zeus?
well, you said you don't have their keepsake, so either try another build you can force with keepsakes or hope to get lucky
you will get all keepsakes soon enough, dw
On fists the aspect doesn't matter for me
You basically run ares attack, athena special, merciful end duo, athena dash and impending doom
whats impending doom?
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
basically, ares and athena duo boon makes your doom effects proc instantly instead of after a delay
ah
It makes triggering with me more consistent and is basically free damage since the extra appliance time doesn't matter with that
and since fists hit fast
you're spamming strong doom dmg
also doesn't have to be athena special, it can be athena dash
alright
oh right
But you still want dash for the triggers
You should equip ares keepsake first, then athena if you haven't gotten her
yeah, so ares attack, athena special for requirement, athena dash for easier proc and a bunch of doom buffs
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
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
never checked that
The seed will stay the same
But that's not how rarity is affected
should i use talos or zag
Zag or dem ig
For me
Doesn't really make a difference
Secret fists also works well with that
collosus knuckle, explosive upper, rolling knuckle what should i take
What was rolling again
That's nice yeah
Also breaching cross is insane
Try to pick it up as your second hammer
It deletes armor
How far is your mirror?
if you only have zag and talos fists, use talos for the pull and additional damage
The last 4 upgrades on green really boost your run consistency by a lot
On ME that's nonsensical
Using special gets you far less dps
away
I can recommend having the last 4 mirror options green
Except privileged status if you're doing a hangover build f.e.
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
I'm not saying to use it mid-combo or something, just to use it to get the enmeies to you
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
he was asking for between zag and talos, that's it
Bendo where is your pic from
Well then def zag
if i purge a boon can i get it again or no
damn i shoulda purged
i only have basic Doom
only 50 damage ;-;
*rare doom
thanks muse
Rarity isn't everything
The duo is the most important in this case
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
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?
I can throw down a few builds
Are you taking exit wounds?
You gotta take boons specifically to deal with large amounts of enemies, too. Splash Dash, any good % special boon, etc
Do you get anything special for killing ||Charon||?
Yes
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||
so thats how you get that achievement
Yes
No because you cant kill him

Bruh they just stuck a new fury on me like that and said “screw you”
I got past but damn
yeah its +9/7/5 minutes every area
crazy
||Heat and the pact|| are both considered spoilers in this channel, please use spoiler tags ^_^ @leaden whale @ebon thicket
no worries, for future reference the channel is intended for new hades players, so they don't necessarily know what those things are ^_^
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
ah my bad
#h1-builds-and-combat and #h1-story-discussion both work well too :3
will do
The credits roll after ||10 clears|| so that's p far into the game for most
I defeated the ||Bone Hydra||

No worries
That's not spoilers
XD fair
Oh alright
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
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
Electric shot? So zeus cast
Yes
I'd recommend that the least tho prolly
Of the ideas suggested here
Not overall
What's parting shot? Duo?
Yup
Best of luck
Danke and thank you for the advice
Kein Problem
Ayyyy got my first clear in hades on 14th run
That's p fast dawg
Yeah seriously, nice work!
Double as fast as me respec
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)
cool, makes sense
You suck
Olay
Fiesta
mexican music
(post-first clear spoilers) ||I just had my first TD1 win (10 heat) and I had over 17 minutes left on the timer||
How about ||cold||
How about ||
...||
👌 
No worries
Just tagging ||heat|| should be enough
Nothing against your more respectful option obvs
Thank you for clarifying I erred on the side of caution bc I was unsure
also I forgot I was in new players channel for a moment
Youre a mistake
I thought you could handle me hating you better

@hot yoke thaaaanks. Now i just need to figure out a melee weapon to run
All with time
First clears the hardest :D
I have hardly any keepsakes. Maybe i should focus on just farming that first
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
^
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
There's been new discoveries regarding that btw
Idk if I told you
Also chaos doesn't count either
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
@hot yoke I DID IT THANKS TO YOUR ADVICE
||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||
ill kick you out
Try

👌
seriously tho, loving this game
will suffer through this again
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
it's mini but sheesh is it rough 🤣
In ||styx|| I always go for the non-mini bosses first
Mini bosses tend to be easier than normal rooms
In the long run
At the beginning they might seem overwhelming
yeah with some experience, minibosses are more manageable and faster than normal tunnels
with double awards, too
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
Always yes
I'd done the minibosses before. I sure didn't expect that 🤣
(I guess not enough to roll it but so it goes)
If you are confident you can clear the room, theres no reason not to do all of them
I'm way far from confident I can clear the room though 🙂
The ||satyr sack|| can be in any room including miniboss ones, right?
Yes
Can it be in the first room?
acorn should be available for ||tiny vermin||
I take more damage on that fight than the final boss
Just do this regarding that miniboss. Some weapon spoiler ||https://clips.twitch.tv/DirtyWanderingZucchiniTheRinger||
🎊
🎉
Can I share my run here or should I put it in victory boasting?
victory boasting would be preferable
Does Vanquisher's Keep replace darkness or add gems on top of darkness for killing bosses?
nice, thanks 🙂
np
How do I get || a diamond? I've never encountered one||
it's a reward from ||the boss of the area after tartarus||
Thanks!
any good OP builds for Malphon Fists?
take zeus attack, jolted boon, get the increased bounce in hopes you get the legendary
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
its probably the second best fist build but is the most consistent
whats the first best then? xD
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
I still need to unlock it i think
Yeah, first you need to upgrade the contractors desk basically and more stuff to unlock becomes available, one of those things is that upgrade
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
This guy is crazy with the Zeus Fists lol xD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjejZgnOL0Q
Aspect of Zagreus + Lightning Strike + Rolling Knuckle + Swift Strike
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.)
the attack speed bonus only applied to the first strike of the 5 hit combo, so it did matter for dash strike builds also
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.
mmhm, for sure, I kinda hoped there'd be something to replace the attack speed bonus
but alas that's not the case 
I guess it got buffed by us finding out that Dodge is additive.
mmhm, that's true
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
something might have changed between Haelian and bablo's video
were they both during the same patch?
conclusion: shrodiger's dodge
sgg shadowbuffed dodge? 
But did they really shadow change it from multiplicative/capped to additive?
is it additive or inverse multiplicative, look at it and it changes 
aw man if only there is a stat page
It's no fair. They changed the outcome by playing the game.
There were certain attacks that were impossible to dodge until they fixed it.
Ok I guess this makes sense.
I think the devs should have added Medusa as a Boss
since she's the most well know and favorite of all
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.
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||
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
yeah... but they could add a DLC boss fight where Chaos summons the OG Medusa
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.
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
anyways, this topic is best for either #h1-discussion or #h1-story-discussion
I finally beat Meg!
grats
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
god's pride or legacy ?
Wait there’s different versions? (Im super new to the game)
ya
legacy opens up a lot of build, i recommend going for that
Olympian favor or dark foresight ?
dark foresight once you have enough darkness
Good Luck with the 3rd Boss xD
@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||
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?
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
more damage = faster kill = less damage taken
I don't like Aphrodite Cast... its too close range
True true
trippy shot is by far the best cast for cast bow build
I like poseidon cast for that as well
I''m having trouble with hades
i have no problem killing the 1st 3 boss
but hades is just very hard
so many things to dodge
and i just can't seem to do enough dmg
that
especially to those wave making tegg
you have to spoiler tag the name
i think its pretty obv that who is going to be at the end
for this you need a more decent build, which you can learn easily throughout the game
but still, this channel is ruled as legit no spoilers
oh ok then
thanks
and about the skulls
if you can't dash through them
make destroying them a top priority
i mean dashing through those wave is no pronlem
its when u have to dodge hades too
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
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
@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
so should I get aris?
yeah... I have seen Eris Rail lol xD
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
i got it to lvl 2
i got ares as my first
on top of that, pose/aphro special, pose/Athena dash and artemis seeking arrows are great too
as for hammer, cluster (the 5 special) is great, as well as rocket special and targeting system
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)
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
well, eris rail was the closest I got to click to win but you odn't want to play that atm
The Twin Fists with Zeus Lightning and Aegis Shield with Ares Doom is pretty Brain Dead
shield can become kinda brain dead once you got it but it's block rather than dodge
I too dont like the Rail Gun that much
what aspect for twin fist
for fist you can also go for ares athena duo boon road, not the easiest to build but really storng
Zeus and Athena Dash is really easy and powerful on the Twin Fists
yeah, that's pretty much the same build as eris rail
kk so i should get fist with talos?
doesnt really matter tbh, with that build you will use all the fists the same way so basic fist would work too
Okay so what exactly do the skull symbols mean for the gates exactly?
true... Zagreus Fist has a chance for Dodge...which works really good
They seem to indicate harder fights and better rewards
that's pretty much it
But I'm not really able to tell beyond that
difficult fight
Ah gotcha then
can be a miniboss monster and there is a particular one in elysium
in my opinion... if you want a play Brain Dead, then go for Shield and the Twin Fists... any Aspects will do... all of them work fine... the Boons are important
For that One miniboss?
@sullen lava spoiling jus in case || room 30 skulll fight is either miniboss soul catcher or solo asterius fight||
for Shield... Ares is really Good with Athena Dash
zeus on special is nice too, but def better when upgraded
Ares Special... get that and spam Special Shield all day
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
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
yeah
really? did they change that stuff in v1.0?
im fond of dio and poseidon call myself
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
I'm fairly certain that the odds of all 10 arrows from Arty critting simulatenously is much, much, much lower than 3%.
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
Ew math
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
0.3*10
You know that's 3, right?
300% chance for all arrows to crit. I'll take that.
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
Hey, I have a mathematics major and still make math mistakes.
anw aphro call > arty, thanks for coming to my ted talk
You're not a calculator 😛
that's actually a really low chance
odd flex
Calculators make errors all the time. Mine refuses to divide by zero. 
it's a 1/169350 chance
You know, there is a difference between not making a mistake, and recognizing you made a mistake ;P
calc taught me that something divided by zero is ±infinity
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
Yes, there you go.
Specificity is important.
u sound like my calc teacher
I could be your calc teacher 😄
Well, I'd have to brush up on my calc anyways, I'm pretty rusty >>
its 0.0000059049 chance to crit on Artemis' Aid
Artemis' Aid can backstab, and the damage can be buffed with poms, Heart Rend, etc.
how high can you get pressure points with poms realistically
and its Unblockable by Shielded enemies like the 3rd Boss
He can't block Aphrodite's Aid, either.
Kind of irrelevant on Theseus, anyway, because you'll want to backstab him with Artemis' Aid.
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
He cant block Artemi's Aid even from the front
Yes, but you'll want the backstab damage.
with nemesis and 10% pressure points there's a 2.8% chance of all 10 critting
With Aphrodite's Aid in that fight, you're better off just making those two kill each other. More damage that way.
You have to be close to the enemy/boss to get some damage out of Zeus' call... so it cant get you out of a sticky situation imo
It can. Activating any call gives you i-frames.
Thats true tho
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.
Nemesis only gives crit chance to Attack.
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
Poseidon is my favorite aid for the fun factor
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.
"Cowabunga it is" -Poseidon's Aid
what do you mean fun... please explain 🤔
wheeeeeeee
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
I did not know this. Is it just a tiny window?
It's pretty lenient. Probably a bit longer than an empty dash? Somewhere around that, anyway.
yeah I get what you are saying
Sometimes love can hurt the most
I would rather have my heart broken than get shot by an arrow or struck by lightning tbh 😄
btw... how do you give Hades the 2nd Nectar? I have beaten the game today
but I am not able to give him the 2nd Nectar yet
Keep beating the game
what!!!
Keep beating the game
Well yes, but also no.
Are you just going to not see ||your mother|| again?
Hue hue I laughed when I saw him too 
His back is all hunched 
He needs to take posture lessons from Zag
In the name of Hades! Olympus! I accept this message!
_sorry but the voice acting it's so cool I really like this quote _
bout to buy this game guys
reminds me of the "everyone is so mean 2 me" meme
first time lol
Get in there and have some fun yo
did yall get it on steam?
Yes.
ye
I got mine on the Switch cause it was on sale xd
Try everything. Don't forget to use all your abilities.
its on sale atm for 19.99
Learn enemy attack patterns and get out of the way of them to become better at the game. That's about it lol
yall play with controller?
MnK
no
really?
keyboard and mouse is really the way to go
KBM as well
we love to see it
Yeah, controller is fine, MnK is fine too, it's just personal preference.
I think its easier for quick attacks as well, for this game i mean
Most of the top Hades players play on pad. But there are some who use KBM.
I have seen people use Controller and Mouse
Yup
wish me luck lol
Have fun!
yall aint playing on hell mode are you lol
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
double bar
i saw someone on here who regretted playing on hell mode since it had a ||mandatory pact condition|| they didn't want
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||
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
ah, okay. so no chance to "skill wrong" in this game
you will eventually unlock trade for diamonds with the broker, and a post-clear mechanic will allow you to farm more
ah, I already got that options for 10 nectar
thank you
this was the first time i met her will she appear in every run from now of?
@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
that you for that advice. For now I'm stuck at the 3rd boss
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
Ugh getting so close but ||Hades' second phase|| wipes the floor with me
It takes a while to get more than the first six, though, but there's several ways, including some rewards from the fated list. The early upgrades are a little annoying as a lot of them just unlock more things to spend diamonds on 😆
Do you know how to avoid the ||lasers||?
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||)
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
||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||
You can hug him to avoid the laser
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||
@hot yoke hello and sorry for pinging you, but any suggestions for the chaos shield?
no worries got discord on my phone lol
I beat it once again using your suggestions for the rail so I am kinda really grateful!
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
fire|Dionysus Flourish, Bad influence, Aphrodite and ares duo, Privileged Status, maybe zeus aid and smoldering air
Ok will try something along those lines!
Do you mean Demeter Special for Artic Blast stacking?
Thank you again
Hmm ig Dem Attack works for Cold Fusion purposes.
and Priv Staus yeah
@hot yoke YEEESSS AGAIN Your builds are just awesome mah dood!
Lol thanks
I'm not the inventor of this one though xD
Which melee weapon build has the fastest clear time?
idk actually. i mostly use fists cause they have high attack speed
Also depends on category
true
the real question is fists or sword for lambent plume
more dodge or more SCHMOVIN
Disregard
Tag pls
Secret aspects name is spoiler
Depends more on your own skill with the weapon and the apsect than the weapon
@hot yoke ok, so chiron bow or hera bow? And suggestions? You only need to do one
I'll just dm you my entire build sheet lol
Wish I could send you flowers or something as thanks for bothering you all the time haha 🌹🌻💮🌼🏵️🌸
Ooh I would love that!
@hot yoke oh i didnt know that was a secret aspect, my bad
could you send me this as well?
Oh my god I used the heart seeking bow for the first time. I thought I wouldnt like it, but I actually love it. I got through Meg the best with this
I actually like the bow now
that's how most people feel with the bow haha
start off thinking you'll hate it but you end up loving it
Bows usually arent within my style for most games
(Except for BOTW)
But here I like it
it can feel pretty good once you get the hang of it
Chiron and Hera aspect are spicy too
f Rama tho
Remember to always dash-attack and you're golden!
Yeah I do that a lot

That's my husband 
Our husband 
Communism shipping
I ship Than and Zag so hard
Thanks so much for the tips earlier today! I finally did it! 😄
First run of many I hope 🙂
congrats!
The first is the hardest :D
What weapon y’all recommend upgrading first
whatever you like, but I think I upgraded the basic zag aspects first and chiron bow
What is the eris aspect
railgun aspect
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
after you stand in special, you do more damage
Global damage
One if the few global damage bonuses in the game
Ahh aspect of eris
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?
which is more rare in a sense I guess, so I pick it lol
heroic just a replacement (or upgrade from eurydice), duo are god pairings
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?||
depends on the duo, but I generally favor duos
ohhh okay I see
and you get just the one bounty
some duos really aren't that great, others make or break certain builds
I’m mainly doing runs rn not to fight but to get quests done haha
and others that are generally good for later on, like exclusive access, which give you an increased power level
get as much darkness/gems rn
darkness huh
ohh
mhm
also late game theres || an aesthetic purchase from contractor for 25k darkness || if ure into completing/having everything
there's a plot thing later too in which you need a lot of darkness too
yeah dw about it darkness farming gets easier once uve beat the game the first time
but also as a tip maybe find out || which "side" of the mirror || u like most and focus on upgrading that first
also you can respec your mirror too, which I thought made the mirror prophecy cheaper to do
but it doesn´t?
Bokuto's spoilers will explain
20k is just the very last perk, 10k each side
And as Beamer said, you dont really need to max both sides of every perk out
everytime i make it to ||Pat's|| chambers i feel the need to linger, and its not just for the music. ||man's|| just so [clenches fist] L O N E L Y
Am i just using Aphrodite's cast wrong or is it really bad? 
her attack and call are better
imo amongst the better choices for a cast would be athena and artemis
To answer my own question (now that I've tested it): ||you get the reward for the heat level bounty, but not the 0-heat win||
I thought so. It's weird that it's really short range but deals small damage. I thought Aphrodite boons always give big damage.
I got her legendary boon for the first time though and I love it. It's really funny that it also affevts bosses
Her call also affects bosses, no reason why the legendary wouldnt work
I didn't notice that. I think I've only used her call twice. I just thought the 15% chance was really high and they would balance it with the status not affecting bosses. It's really funny with the chiron bow. 
Hi quick question i thought that they added a multibuy button for the material exchange
did they ever add it or am I misremembering
That feature hasnt existed in all the time I've been playing, but I only started with 1.0
I wish it were a thing
I feel that the music and secenery is so melacholy which is impressive given that Elysium all kinda looks the same. they did great with setting the mood and making us cry
YES. you've described it so well. everywhere else is about as blissful as it gets, but the moment you enter his chamber you feel the weight of his longing and regret, and not just that there's history too in the way they designed his chamber and i just-
i know the feeling 
but keep at it. you can do it! a tip: take out ||Asterius|| first.
yeh my second time i did it
but my hp got low and that other useless idiot ended me
ouch. yeah he def is the more annoying one
i don't mind dying to the bull guy but dying to theseus sucks
mood
||1||
im okay with spoilers
||hmmm... more like one more and then final boss||
how familiar are you with the underworld in greek mythology?
||and then a region where you're gonna die in, for the first few times||
eeh
I don't think it's a spoiler to say that cerberus guards the entrance/exit, but thankfully you don't have to fight him
||the banana peels are too strong||
makes sense
just jump into this, ¿everytime i died had to run all over again? or is there a kind of a "check point" somewhere?
ok, and can i save in the middle of a run? and restart over tomorrow?
but this game actually has some meta progression that persists between runs, the work orders at the contractor and the mirror
i see
you can quit out and resume from the same room
you can't quit out at certain rooms, like the shop right before a boss
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
That definitely feels like a spoiler!
The ||fight fake out|| is a really great moment to discover unspoiled
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?
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
@floral nacelle that's definitely a spoiler, especially for newer players so please use spoiler tags ^_^ ||the cerberus non fight thing||
i need some tips for defeating the heroes because every time i get to the end of elysium i get wrecked
last one i see is "cerberus slaughtered (you did this)"
ive seen that one too!
focus asterius over theseus, and just get a habit of know what the animation wind-ups are
agreed
when theseus does his first call is when he's most availble to take hits
spear is more annoying than the running guy with axe
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
after a while you get used to its color change
And of course you need to hide behind a pillar but it can be hard to time it
i jsut kill theseus first since its easier for my case
yeah... theseus' spear is the most annoying... it does a TON of damage, even when resisted
theseus is kind of annoying to kill though because of his shield
imma try this today
i do see the cycle where he throws the spear, calls it back, then walks to the edge and hes vulnerable while walking
then again, i even use my bow like melee so
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
6?!!😱
had bad boons
you shouldn't be thinking about both of them at the same time
my run was held together by dreams, elmers stick glue, and luck
just try to kill asterius while trying to avoid spear throws
I run Stubborn Defiance, so technically its just 1 Death Defiance for me every fight lol xD
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
make it 2/3 with athena boon and chaos legend
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
I sometimes find Theseus harder than Hades, to be honest!
i feel like there's way more visual clutter on the theseus battle than the hades battle
||nuking theseus|| is my favorite part of all my runs lol
its harder to understand whats happening
true true
like i got no idea what his deal is half the time
how do you do that lol xD
with something you unlock later
laaaaame
the ||Companions||?
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.
yea
artemis' call is also a great way to nuke theseus
yeah my problem is i make him run into the pillar and then i end up right next to theseus
Athena dash will help a lot when deflectingasterius attacks
yeah!... I use that instead of Aphrodite
i nuke theseus with the greatest insult: 
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
and then theseus thanks the crowd for subbing to his onlyfans
Plus he blocks all the time
the 3rd Boss Fight background also has a lot of Graphic Noise... so its even harder to keep track of whats going on
yeah i play with music on
and i sometimes play in a voice call
and im hearing impaired
audio cues arent a solution
are SGG gonna port the game to PS and XBox yet?
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.
Thats risky... but you can use the Chiron Bow for even more damage
not noticeably from my experience
it was very noticeable when i took it 😦
twin shot reduces range by halfish
