||Spoiler||
also if you edit an image and rename it SPOILER_(whatever it's called) it auto spoiler tags the image
which attack that got you in particular?
unless you have the charged shot hammer or chaos/||beo|| i'd say its mostly cast and dash attacks
having special bounce shield deals w pots nicely
bullrush is a defensive move
especially if u got zeus boon
yeah
i don't get how to make Chaos like me more. I talked to him a bunch, gave him 6 nectars, but his affection meter has a lock on the next heart, what do?
dash boons also helps with clearing pots
I like a damaging dash to deal with pots better
you need to get nyx up
I see
their and her maxed hearts are linked
cool thanks
thx
hopefully i can beat ||dad||
Nyx is pretty
ares thinks so too
I almost beat hades first phase in 9 escape attempts and i got the game a couple hours ago is that good?
so Darnell, what are your plans for your next run for freedom
debating whether to just do a resource farm run or take my trusty gloves and go for ||dad|| right away next time
wbu
very good even! gg and good luck for the next run!
Does damage resistance boons like Different League and Bronze Skin stack with godmode?
that's pre solid
Thanks!
So 80% + 10% = 90%?
I got to about the same amount when I first reached him, maybe 1 or 2 less runs
godmode is 20% at first death and then gets upto 80% the more you die tho
but yes it does stack
good
my first clear was actually on a resource run lol
nice nice
iirc damage reduction are multiplicative
idk how far it goes, could be that it stops at 90%
Yeah i got the cursed blade and it helped me soo much
I had a build that was
I don't remember exact numbers
but it was like 30-50% damage reduction, like over 20% dodge chance, and deflect attack
was a lot of fun but lacked good damage
coasted through first 3 floors but didn't have any damage to beat ||dad|| with
just seeing ||dad|| being spoilered looks way too funny
I love that nickname after hearing it here
I was just calling them by their name before
LOL
Alright this pact of punishment
What are some conditions y’all pick
It’s my first time running this after the first play through
||YO, I DID IT, I DEFEATED HADES||
Same here bro
EM1 is easy, if you are already fast TD1 and TD2 should be no issue whatsoever, BP and MM are easy enough, do NOT go for HS or FO
else the 3 first choices are easy enough to start with too
congrats, may the gods be with you and give you many more wins :)
yeah just chose one for the start and slowly work your way up, every new heat gives you new bounties, max is 20 heat to get bounties tho
Are ||erebus gates|| worth saving up diamonds for, or should I spend on some of the cheaper stuff?
they are worth it if you are already on pretty high heat
I am very much not 😆
since you can only access them if you are on heat 5 in tartarus, heat 10 in asphodel and heat 15 in elysium
ahh, good to know
then definitively spend it on cheaper stuff
thanks!
sure thing :)
by the time I'm there I should have quite a few more diamonds
exactly
nice gg :)
Congrats!
thanks
i personally really like calisthenics, heightened security, extreme measures, and middle management
you like heightened security early on?
Get used to Forced overtime 2 early on, it'll help
Don't even bother with one
It's either FO 2 or nothing 
dont bother with one but also dont jump onto FO2 immediately after beating ||dad||once
FO2 still beats my bouldies and i have gone over heat 10 multiple times ;-;
i just really read your nick and gotta say, hardcore understandable :)
okay i just beat the final boss for the first time, now how do I ||continue the story?||
do it again
:)
Might be worth noting that ||there's a lot of story not directly tied to the endgame, so just playing more will give you more story, even if it takes a while to win consistently||
for the battle of the two bosses , who do ya kill first to make it easier?
||Asterius (the minotaur) is usually the best call there||
Specifically because: ||Theseus has a summon attack once he's down to 50% health that is a lot more annoying to run away from if both of them are still alive||
||Imagine having to deal with the bull AND a God's bombardment at the same time
||
oh oooooh
||btw, what's the best use for the titan's blood as of now?||
I BEAT THESEUS FOR THE FIRST TIME AJDJAKDHAKJDS
Good one!
nice
gratz
you can just jump theseus with your call tho, get him to 50%, your call should be on ultimate and pop his now godly glory
you wont even have to fight him when he's in god mode
asterius will get quicker - yes. but it's less annoying than fast god attacks if asterius dies first
📝
||So, what should i do with the titan's blood? what's the recommended use for it?||
||probably unlocking aspects of each weapon||
||which aspects are recommended?||
for safe runs or fast runs?
safe runs for now, ||i've just beaten Hades for the first time||
||might be worth to just unlock the first couple aspects of each weapon||
that too
else pretty good ones are talos and demeter fists, chiron or hera bow and (my personal fave) achilles spear. later on when you have enough blood invested in sword you'll have access to the hidden sword aspect which gives bonus healing and a safe aura for you.
but definitively invest blood in every aspect before leveling an aspect to level 2
early i would really recommend talos fist or hera bow
or poseidon sword
you really can get a feel of how they play with just one blood
poseidon is good to learn the cast, true
most other aspect needs some investment to get kicking
i wouldnt recommend unlocking all weapon aspects- then ur blood gets spread out and ur progression would be slowed
but it goes more towards speedy runs than safe runs
chiron bow is really nice but really wants to be maxed out first
just like focus on one or two maybe
but to at least try every weapon aspect, how else will you know which is for you?
yah true
pump some titan blood in, give up before end of end if you don't like weapon
dont level them, jsut try with one blood in the new aspects, which is 16 blood
then ur titan blood will be refunded
i've seen people putting in 1 blood on eris and chiron and think they're eh 
not guaranteed, you may not save with the blood in already
later on you'll have to pump in blood anyways
? if you give up a run, you go back to before you exit the mirror room
good to know what you're working with beforehand
unless you go back to your room, accidentally or because you wanted to look up prophecies/your mirror
if you unlocked all non-hidden aspects, thats basically more than the cost of maxing out an aspect
I think u locking multiplr aspects is by far better especially for new players being able to give them variety. If you go max aspect on one weapon they'll want to only use that aspect and that weapon every game?
then they get a good investment to ramp up difficulty, giving them more tb to unlock more aspects
Thats what happened to me with spear and this is why my spear is at 10 heat while every other weapon is at 1 or 2 heat
Probs better to bounce arounf between weapons figuring out different builds for yourself
by getting to 10 heat, you can now max out another weapon
I LOVE using the spear its mt favorite
to each their own approach i guess
i personally maxed out what i know i want first for each weapons
but i've watched enough vids to know the general playstyle for each aspects
I'll try Demeter Gauntlets first
ah, i was also planning to max my spear too
you need to invest 5 blood into the spears already
*any aspect(s)
no, just the spears
no any aspects
nope
"It's also possible to reveal [] with 3 or 4 weapons but this involves spending more Titan Blood"
-wiki
ah right it was the sword one that needs blade aspects
The requirements are ||unlock 5 non zag aspects||
Not according to the pinned message in #h1-story-discussion
Then it's probably dialogue rng unfortunately
for hidden spear: Unlock a combination of 5 total aspects (Non-Zagreus aspects) between all weapons.
afterwards: after hidden spear level 5 of their weapon aspects
(so if blade, 5 blade; if shield, 5 shield)
dialogue rng
maybe bug with patch
"+ Fixed event requirements for Thanatos and Achilles acknowledging specific Weapon Aspects" so idk
theres a p. big list of dialogue options
depends on what you did story wise
yah story takes precedence over weapon unlocks
if you got all important story stuff out the way the weapon talk should come immediately
like if u just got a first clear, then everyone will be talking about that, etc, etc
maybe buy achilles and nyx some drinks from the lounge
how many runs has it been?
Yeah grind is real but it’s nice things keep unlocking
tbh the hidden spear isnt that good anyways at low level
Lol
Yeah I might try it
Actually... Have you ||reached the surface at least once|| Gwydolin?
if you havent been talking to archilles regularly then it'll take a while
Idk what hidden shield is don’t think I got that far
" Eternal Spear, Hidden Aspect
Purchase the Fated List of Minor Prophecies from the House Contractor.
Reach the final boss at least once (you merely need to reach the boss, not defeat it).
Unlock a combination of 5 total aspects (Non-Zagreus aspects) between all weapons.
A conversation with Achilles will then be queued up in his list of discussions which will tell you how to proceed.
*Tip: For this aspect, you must unlock a combination of 5 DIFFERENT aspects for any of your Infernal Weapons, which means the aspect must have the padlock next to it, indicating it's still locked and upgrading already unlocked aspects doesn't count. The "Zagreus" aspects will not count either, as they are already unlocked and you'd just be upgrading them to level 1."
else you have to wait for the storyline dialogue to run out of achilles
Why is Achilles taking so long to talk about []?
Achilles has a "dialogue pool" containing the conversation about []and everything else he has a comment about but you haven't heard yet. His dialogue about [] will happen randomly from that pool, so if you have large dialogue pool it could take a while for [] to come up. If you've exhausted his dialogue options (you visit him and he has no "!") before meeting [] requirements, he will very likely talk to you about it after the very next run.
maybe farm instead of pure suicide runs
will help get the more exciting hidden weapons
ok
personal preference
from an objective standpoint based on time to clear at low difficulty
objectively almost everybody prefers hidden aspects in: blade, spear, shield and fists
which is 4/6; so the exactl opposite of what you said
nope
sword is either nemesis or poseidon, fists is demeter
nope
sure hidden sword is fun and all but its just a slower nemesis
statistically hidden sword is the fave, fists is close with demeter because of the speedrunner community
not at all?
how you get that idea?
speedrunning i mean
cuz the attack is too slow for speedrunning so dash attack build is used instead
but then nemesis has the best build for dash attack
well not everybody speedruns
Applying speedrunning to weapons as a whole is an awful merit to determine what's best
^
it's only the best for speed runs, not for those who want fun and look for different challenges
the hidden aspects i like are blade, bow, and shield
i'd like spear if i don't die to a sneeze
thats why hidden fists is so popular, cause of the maim and dash functions
hidden spear is weird, but those who like spear REALLY like spear
oh, you may have pumped him with too much nectar o.o
butt that also means you're almost done with his story dialogue pool
o.o
it's his storyline
you can wait for the hidden aspect talk first
as far as i know no
never had hidden aspect and the story aspect clash like this
yes
a companion
it's a pretty damn good one too
sure thing?
why annoying its just story plot?
ah
you do realize there is more "homosexual" stuff for mechaical content tho
theres two things.
the option offers some mechanical content too
||yep than also gives something||
please dont call it gross?
you can have all 3 of the romancec options
How is ||going with meg||option not “inappropriate”
it's explained later in the story
Nvm u prolly havent reached a scene then
meg and him are only ||intimately|| attached
i know this scene and it caught me off guard lol
|| it still gets gross without the gay||
well, you don't really need to max the romance options
just enough to unlock hearts to get ||companions||
tru
U can choose not to too
😶
feels bad tho cause of the story but ok
i dont understand how is than's storyline gross? its pretty much the same as meg
it's "gross" bc they're homophobic
yikes
yeahhh that sounds really wrong
we dont stan homophobia here king
tbh i prefer meg's summon bc thanny's takes a while to activate
best one is fidi :)
hey friend, just a reminder to please be respectful when discussing the lgbtq+ content of hades. the inclusion of these options means a lot to many people in the community.

this is sad
its, like, not even explicit
i understand! though your description of the ||than|| romance option as gross can be seen as disrespectful, so i'm only asking you be more mindful of your language in the future.
...
not to sound rude but why get a game that is supporting something you find this gross

i mean you dont have to do it
this conversation rn is extremly sad and honestly disheartening
you can give him one ambrosia to get the summon then ghost him
hey, this might be a good time to change to a new topic. i'd recommend also taking a look at our rules in #readme-first if you need a refresher! 
you can friendzone ||than|| but yes the way to it requires togo through the romance part.
what
im pretty sure you get the companion at the first ambrosia
oh true actually
i forgot about that
idk if it was first or last
yeah you can
but that scene requires 3 more ambrosias or smth
so you dont really need to do it
it's just story
hmm and ||achilles and patty||
but eh i'm honestly done with this convo i need some positive vibes
ah
it hasn't unlocked for me
oh shoot, actually
now that i think about it
you need the romances to max ||aphrodite ||
and after you do it you keep seeing them on your runs
completely forgot that part
Imagine not ||getting it on with than|| asap
aphrodite should be ok with friendzoning
you need to do achilles for a few achievements and minor prophecies
since she understands love
man homophobia makes me fecking sad
gnight lads, you have been wonderful
gn marmy 
I like that if you qualify for multiple duo boons on a run, Aphrodite has special dialogue talking about different kinds of love then offers 3 Duo Boons to you
It's so thematic to her philosophy that there are different kinds of love and relationships that are equally important
is charged spin attack part of the basic attack on spear
it's considered an attack
all things that use the attack button are considered attacks for boons (there's only one exception that doesn't really matter)
does maxing the relationship with any of the gods do anything?
you create a closer bond with your family, feeling warm and fuzzy inside that you have a deep family connection
oh
Which one's better? Doom or Hangover?
Making relationships with the olympians is a good idea for other reasons
it depends on the type of attack
doom if you are hitting slowly and a few times
hangover if you can stack it quickly
doom doesn't normally stack
I suppose i should choose Doom with my exploding spear
if you inflicted doom once doing it the second time won't do anything until first doom expires
Also, how you keep increasing relationship with Hades?
||continue to clear the game||
Hi real quick do I need to be using the weapon to get the trigger for the special aspect or is it just random
rando
cool Thankee
I just happened to get bow when I was using it so just wanted to double check
This game seems like it has alot of build possibilities
What with all the different parameters
||Is there a hint to which path leads to the satyr for Cerberus or it's always random?||
If only it could on the first
Honestly, it's great to get to a point where you can just keep going back in even after you find what you're looking for
what boon synergy have you found works best with shield?
what happens if I ||accept or decline Dusa's Ambrosia? how will this affect the story?||
Best off asking in #h1-story-discussion @random gazelle
Ares Special + Athena Dash... you dont need anything else for the Shield
That is exactly what I discovered, I was wondering what more there might be
well anything more you get along with the Ares Special is always a Big Plus... for example the Dadelus Hammer Boons
yeah the hit 4 enemies
yeah
I feel bad for being so stuck to one weapon, I tried the spear but I just sucked with it
what would be a secondary you recommend
yeah... every weapon works differently
as they should
I always go with the Twin Fists primarily and then the Shield as my secondary weapon
I just go with whatever dark thirst says to
You can try the Fists... absolutely crazy if you pair it with Athena Boons
@leaden whale what's the best build for the gloves in your opinion?
athena boons I would assume
Yes but more than that I meant
I started by using the dark thirst weapon
so I'd get used to them all
and also improved my darkness accumulation
Zeus attack is really good on fists
when I needed it
I could try that I suppose
that's all you need honestly, anything after is just extra
@Madliv#5745 yes
I have found out Divine Strike + Athena/Aphrodite/Dionysus/Demeter Dashes are really good on it... and ofcourse the Colosus Knuckle and 1 other Dadelus Hammer boon
weird spoiler
Thank you @leaden whale I'll give that a try
I tried Zeus Attack.... but the problem with them is, you get hit easily when fighting Bosses... so thats why Athena Attack works best on the Fists
yeah I had a rough time with meg
I have beat the game with all except spear and bow
@leaden whale Yeah I came to learn that the hard way, chamber helping boons can sometimes seem to be of no use against bosses
just pray for long knuckle
Yes that's a good one
Colosus Knuckle is better than that... you are Sturdy almost 100% of the time
id much rather have like 5x the range so I don't put myself in danger in the first place
the first time with ||Hades|| is a bad experience for all
forgot about that
thats true... to each his/her own I guess 😛
Athena Artemis Duo Boon works best on the Twin Fists
also Merciful End... although it works on every weapon I guess
I got Hermes Epic Boon for 3 extra Dashes xD
what weopon/boons?
its pretty much GG! xD
weapon*
Rip ||Hades||
yeah pretty much... plus I have the ||Gilgamesh|| Fists xD
so I have like 6 Dashes in total xD
btw I just beat him with his own aspect on spear. Feels so good
@leaden whale 4th aspects are spoilers in this channel, please use spoiler tags
yeah sorry
Ty 
❤️
yo that's a spoiler
tried it out once and got my fastest time at exactly 20 mins now, thanks 
@brittle basalt ||The Charon fight is a spoiler in this channel|| please use spoiler tags ^_^
Hi! I’m new to this game. Any tips for newbies? Thank you guys! 😊
depends on what kind of tips you need, if you want to see different builds(so which gods work best with each other) #h1-builds-and-combat got you, just need to ask for whichever weapon you want to try. else if you want some tips on how to fight better, yeah just ask what weapon hah :)
can you gift to the same person multiple times in one run?
nope
Why no one told me gun + rocket launcher modification + crit on special is amazing?

can someone elaborate me on the 'Slashed Benefit' prophecy
do I need to do all of those in one run or something?
||10 cleared run and a lot of nectars||
I got it just after 100 hours and I was lucky with the rng
It may easily take you longer than that
i dont need to have internet to play this right and the achivments will come when i reconnect?
No and ye
i personally use zeus's shield since i can still attack and it can activate effects constantly
i have not used chaos's shield though
okay so can anyone explain me how does Merciful End works?
I think it's a good idea to choose an aspect you like and to stick with it and upgrade it till you get more blood.
Chaos lets you throw out more shields after you rush which can be a decent burst.
Nice
Im thinking zues is good cause you can still attack
While it does its thing
Especially with the dot on it
i use the blitz disc with deflect and my attack with doom and it melts everyone
Nice I’ll try that
blitz disc is a godsend
Yeah for sure lol thanks
Is that a pun? 
I was amused.
It was a divine pun
ooh good one
so you need to have a doom effect on an enemy and then hit the enemy with a Deflect attack and the doom effect would be applied immediately... am I right?
yes exactly
divine dash is usually the easiest since you just have to dash through them
yeah... I got it now..
I generally try to get athena dash + the exposed upgrade whenever I can. I feel like ist just does so much work.
Helps with safety, damage, looks cool. Just everything. 
@upbeat mason thank you for answering! But why a lot of nectars? :S
Being friends with people lets new things happen. 
yeah... imma try now with Ares Attack and Athena Dash on the Fists
hello people
Question about ending: ||How many times do you gotta beat the game to get the full story and the Queen to come back down to the Underworld?||
i was wondering
why supergiant games no asign numbers to their game versions
they just say
relece 1.0 patch number 43544554234
Yeah, I understand, I am almost maxed out with most characters but I was wondering if there's a certain requirement (relationship wise) to trigger the ||epilogue||? Or if it's enough to beat the game the required amount of times
They do. In the upper right corner of the main menu. v1.37033 right now. 😄
... gess im dumb
nah, it's easy to overlook.
||max 6 olympian gods relationships, dem only to locked heart||
||10||
iv done 3
man I already put 25 hours in this game and I couldn't even beat it until I turned on God mode
beating the story is only like 15% done content wise lol
Patience, trial and error and some good builds on the way make the dream work :P
gaaaaaaaaaaah
I got burnt out cause 15 of those 25 hours I did over the past 2-3 days
😔
it's definitely worth the investment, and do not feel bad about turning god mode on
i did at first until i got comfortable and i haven't used it in a long long time
Is 30 mins pretty good cleaning one heat?
28 hours and 57 attempts without looking at any guide or hades videos I've beaten it in hell mode (my first ever run of the game)
ty
I took 39 for the first run
Gj on making it out of Hell Mode.
thanks 😄
Yeah. You basically beat Tight Deadline 1
Beat a run for the first time!
unrelated but nice pfp
congrats darnell :) how'd ||the end boss fight|| go?
Guys, is there any tips for overcoming the wavemakers and the witches? everytime i fought them i was barely alive xD and i keep dying on Elysium's boss fight
If you struggle with the witches mini boss you can aim to get Athenas dash in tartarus
Who are the wavemakers?
big skellies
the wavemakers are those little guys who sends like, wave-like attacks. Though they don't really do too much harm, but on asphodiel, when fighting the big skelly snake (i'm sorry i forgot his name), the mini hydras can send up to three waves, and sometimes three heads shoots em and i was a bit overwhelmed
oh! you an deflect those?
Yea
any deflecting athena boon, especially with the witches, there is always one corner in the witch room which you can safely dash in if you only use divine dash without getting into lava
They emote really clearly, wavemakerd
See them stretchtheir arms Up, they're about to make a wave
They will always strech their arms for 2 secs before firing a pink wave
I cant post the image here but
My starting voon is Huge Catch
I have no other choices
Just more fishing spawn chances T.T
It's scripted
And Poseidon acts like he's doing you such a huge favor
scripted like getting athena as your very first boon and zeus only on your second run
tbf it can give you the mystical chaos fishing
which you will never get again
does anyone know if pierced butterfly works on doom?
since distant memory gives doom boosts i would assume yes, i'll try it rn one sec
someone on combat and builds says yes
yep, big yes
thx
oh right I heard its possible to romance characters in the game
does anyone know how to do that?
Complete their favor first, then you can romance them
Also Greek gods weren't exactly known for being monogamous, so you can romance multiple characters at one time
||than|| ||dusa|| ||meg||
thank you!
https://prnt.sc/vul38h this is my only save file, it's in hell mode. I have not played in normal mode nor searched for tips but I'm starting to need some because I cant beat the game with the other weapons
any tips?
Take a look at the pinned build guide for the base weapons. That's a good start. 
wait what happen if you ||borrow cash from Charon||?
I don't want to mess up with my run right now rofl
achievement?
There's an achievement
what is the achievement for
ty
||defeating charon in a fight||
not on steam o.o
it is but it doesnt describe it as that
no problem
I regret maxing ||guan yu||. I hate it 
just keep playing and unlocking weapons with keys
With the twin fists, does dash strike damage scale with my dash special?
Or is it only the dash “normal” attack
i literally agree
90 runs
13 with ||GY||
more than any other weapon
None wins
I’ve reached the surface.... once
how are you usually with spear?
I’m not that good with it. Mostly because most of my runs are that.
Achilles was my first victory
with spear
yeet
and your best was bow? or was it rail?
or am i remembering somebody completely different? ;-;
Uhhhhh, my best time is 21min. And I think it was with Coronacht yes
funny, your best is bow and you dislike spear. my best is spear and bow is just big no for me
even with chiron bow, I still struggle
Secret spear’s secret is that the special is what’s great especially with the hammer that lets you charge special. The healing spin felt garbage to me even with hammers boosting it. I’ve only done 2 clears with secret spear, both with no heat so take that with a grain of salt but i found it easier when I stopped trying to use healing spin and sniping with special (it has longer range than rail, I think)
Can we not give Meg nectar ?
I don't get how this works in terms of who we can and can't
@modern panther you can! but i think it comes after some story things/enough interactions maybe
Ah ok
whats a good build for exagryph aspect of eris?
Zeus attack is your friend
Literally anything
yeah was doing zeus earlier was just wondering other builds i can try
Eris' buff is universal. That means ALL damage is boosted, even stuff like hangover. It's really hard to mess up an Eris run
But yeah, prioritize Cluster Bomb and Rocket above all else. Targeting is good too
Dont be afraid of Hazard Bomb
if you dodge through the damage do you still get the buff?
oh lovely
killed final boss. managed to get a doom stack build going with burst/ auto tracking
any decent build for the malphon? never used it before
Do you have titan blood upgrades yet?
i have some aspects not fully upgraded
Use the zag fists, lambent plume from hermes from level 1, then when you actually see hermes keep rolling with dice if you have them to hopefully get a dodge chance boon
That and anything that ups your dashstrike damage. so hammers, Hunter Dash from Artemis, and a certain chaos boon too if you're lucky
even if you don't get hermes' dodge chance boon, you still will have about 40% chance to dodge by the end
With its 50% or more.
ah I haven't really considered attack myself when doing this one. Doesn't matter too much tbh
As long as you have those dash strikes
Doom attack and athena special
kk il lgive it a go
Doom should be good though because you're going to be dashing and running away a lot and want a little lasting damage. OR the hangover damage one
Doom attack and aphro special
Would be fun too
What goes well with dio attack? Aphro?
Hmmm, dio fists sounds like a fun thing to tru
If you have the 2 status effects at once doing more damage thing sure
Though that is better with a dash
Like what weapon is this on, anyways?
Dio can work fine, then
I'd say it's above Dio
kk
discord being wacky? lol
Anything that adds damage directly to an attack's base damage is great, really
At least on ones that have low base damage by default
the build I just described is my fav tbh its so much fun
dash strike + dodge + fists
dash strike ends up doing mega damage
Aye, blade and fist have to be my favorite styles
Don't sleep on Artemis+Fists tho
You're doing so many hits in a fight that critting happens v frequently
Deadly Flourish + Demeter Fist is pretty fun
went zeus lightning w/ jolt, and deflect expose. im shredding bosses in like 3sec
Hell yea
never taking the aphrodite demeter duo boon again
thats awful
actually just killed my run
had a chance of making it through phase 1 of hades and maybe if i played well i couldve beaten him but i picked the boon since it looked interesting and it would help me beat theseus quickly
hot garbage
hm i liked it better for ||dad|| because the tracking is pretty bad
id rather have the artemis duo tho
lost two defies on the satyr rooms because i couldnt deal with the laser stones
did play like garbage but it completely ruined my build
literally exploded bosses and face tanked everything lol
like the total percentage
ah
20% reduce on using cast, sturdy, aphrodite etc
once you get that lambent plume to max and zag fists to max will be better
yeah it was really fun gonna prob upgrade it more
are you still able to reset your seed by doin the flipadip at the start of the run cause I haven't been able to do it once since I started playing again
What is heat and how do i increase it?
heat is difficulty and you unlock it after you beat the final boss
additional challenges for additional rewards
Fists or rail gun?
all the weapons are good its just which you feel you are better at playing
personally my first win was bow
Spear and bow might be my worst ones lol
There is always godmode to make some of the fights a little more manageable as well
Whats the best Mirror of Night upgrade?
death defiance
I just started playing on the switch and don't know what stats are more important
So I should save up for it?
that's what i saved mine for at first
definitely get the dash first
Also when there are split rooms with either a key or the darkness stuff
which should I choose
depends on what you want to unlock keys are used to get new weapons and the other sections of the mirror unlocked and darkness upgrades the mirror
I think keys are better first so you can find a weapon you enjoy
but if you want the upgrades first go darkness
Im currently playing the bow with Zeus blessing on my special volley
And I freaking love spamming it
So guess I'm going for that Darkness
Dam I jsut got destroyed by skeleton twins
Hey how do I get the ||Diamond that frees Orpheus|| ?
its the reward for killing the second boss
Or if you're referring to the work order you need the administrative chamber unlocked and certain requirements met
I see
Thank you!
They'd probably know how to get Diamonds in that case
I only got through 20 chambers so far
So I already fought ||Meg|| and unlocked ||the fields of asphodel||
I’m a bit bad at the game 
Oh yeah disregard my message I was looking too far ahead
it takes time
Yeah you'll slowly get stronger and be able to go farther
Thank you all
I've been so excited to play this game
it is definitely in my top 5 games of all time honestly
It's been a long time since I've seen everyone sing high praises for something
both critics and gamers
its probably one of the only games I've ever dumped this much time in
How much time have you put into it?
I assume around 300 hours but I don't have time to play games all that much
Oh wow
I'm kinda having trouble with it, personally
Since the game just doesn't work for me currently
On PC? That's weird
Sent an email to the support team already, hoping to get it to work soon
In the meantime, there's a tech support channel right here if you want to ask around if others had the same issues
||I've beaten Hades three times by now
||
Great! Now do it three more times
Will do
I think that support channel is for in game bugs, I'm dealing with the game crashing on launch everytime I start it. Tried all the solutions offered in #h1-tech-fixes so now I'm just waiting for a response from email.
I had that issue when my computer was not up to minimum specs
I don't know what spec wasn't up to minimum but one of them was lol
@short wing Did your game briefly start? What happens to me is I get a loading screen, a second from a cutscene plays and then it crashes.
oh interesting no mine would just flash a white screen then crash
Mine flashes a white screen and then starts
THANK YOU game for giving me ||the list of all of the duo and legendary boons without having to unlock them first||
I swear, this has to be one of the most player-friendly games I've played
def the most player friendly roguelite
So I've given nectar to all the npcs that I have but there's still 1 slot missing, and it's for an Unknown person under the 'Others' list I think. Is this ||Persephone|| or is there somehow another character I've missed?
Spot on
There is also ||one more super special keepsake that doesnt even appear until you receive it||
Roger that, ty!
i got this game last night and i love it. honestly no clue what im really doing other than running around avoiding getting dinged and upgrading my bow, but it's a ton of fun
It's pretty great, huge amount of depth in terms of both the story/characters and the gameplay too
one of those easy to figure out/play but hard to master type things
I recommend not watching videos on it unless you want to spoil the plot and things about the game for yourself
I went in blind and loved every moment, still do
Should i make a new save file? I played on hell mode, it's my 40th run and i haven't beat ||Hades||
Did anyone answer this for you?
is there a way to see what bosses you have defeated with each weapon
so i can track titan blood farming
I couldn’t be more than happy right now, i had a good run and got the chance to ||reach elysium and fight theseus and mino||
The thing im asking is what’s some good keepsakes to use
acorn is probably your best bet for that fight
i believe its acorn (whatever damage 5 hits of ||mino|| is) > cerb (effectively 125 hp if you burn all your defiances) > skelly (100 hp, but only actually happens if you lose all your defiance)
Thanks, cause i used cerb’s > meg’s > skelly’s keepsakes accordingly to each stage plus dionysus’ positive outlook boon so it kinda worked my way up there
I’ll take that tip once i get to it, thanks again!
nah, u get to hit too often in elysium, and 5 hits of mino dont rly kills u as much as the final boss
Can I just gift people the same thing over and over again ( the 'honey'? ), I don't want to look like a weirdo.
Yup! You actually need to do that for some story progression. Make sure to give one to each character first to get their keepsakes.
how could i obtain titan blood again?
Trading, prophecies, beating the first and final boss
since i have use every weapon on tartarus
and beat the first boss
you could also buy it in the final area shop when it appears
yea
not much else you can do
have you not cleared yet?
i have not
btw any darkness build?
darkness build? like farming darkness?
nope
the abilities in the mirror
ahh. i usually run the default side except for the last four
I just killed ||hades|| for first time
good job
I am allowed to keep using this channel ?
thanks!
yeah, there are no rules for that
I did some frozen chill bow build
btw do patch notes matter?
i mean huge difference from the previous patch?
nothing big imo
just some balancing
some can do, but usually its just balance
aprodhite weakness always worked nicely for me
if enemy is affected by 2 debuffs, he takes 40% more dmg
im using nemesis sword, do you focus on special or normal attacks?
i'm not a pro, but there are builds around it https://youtu.be/EbMkJBxIVaI

Thanks for all of the support friends! This video took more time and effort than I expected, I hope y...
I wonder if i will ever turn God Mode Off. I am at like 40% buff and on my 20th clear i think
Have you tried it? I know people on here who turned off god mode after a while
And found that they played fine
Idk because i am still very sloppy on final boss fight and with movement in general
sometimes i feel like i am getting by just because of the reduced damage
no no, it's not about shame or elitism or so
like, for now it's fine, but i will prob turn it off if it scales too high
i wish i could reset it and go back to 20% to see how i fare
Ahhh
There'd probably be a way to mess with the game files to do that, though I'm not sure
ye kinda hard on Switch XD

I thought that turning god mode off and on would reset its stacks
but that is not the case sadly
It would be a good idea as future implementation to have some sort of...purging monument to reduce your godhood
for nemesis i believe you want to focus on your attack
and dash attack often
Finally beat ||Hades|| for my first time
Nemesis procs crits after special attack, you need to combo your attacks if I am not mistaken
i didn't even know about god mode
i just told myself to get good
managed to beat the bad boi after 45 rounds
the game its not much about yourself being sloppy, but on having the right boons
the right boons can turn you into a god
do I need to ||bond with the olympian gods to get the epilogue?||
i saw today one video which allowed you to afk at last boss and kill that bad boi
so improving your game knowledge makes more diff than being a god at dodges
some of them need the ||epilogue|| first before forging the bond, but just get as close as possible (like max them with nectar and maybe forge bonds with those closest to maxed
meg's lock heart, it is just unlocked by following the story right? it been so long and she wont open up to me
Questions like that are best asked in #h1-story-discussion @golden hare ^_^
Please spoiler-tag the final boss. 
i think i should not use this channel nymore
but having dash with deflect hopes against any boss/ pew pew mechanic
hey apologies if this is a frequent question, but do dash strikes benefit from both attack and artemis dash boons or just the latter
Both.
sweet! ty
how to get extra titan bloods, i got it with all weapons, and i got it with heat levels on all weapons too. Now how can i get extra ones?
you can get 2 per run increasing the heat by 1 every time
if you've alreaddy hit the cap for that i don't think you're a new player anymore
finishing boss with each weapon, heat level, achievment rewards, and fishinng for titan bloods
is there a way to force a run to save? 'cos my pc keeps crashing and while I'm waiting for new parts I'd like to still play 😩
without a mod? nope, the game only saves when you go from one run to another in the 'home'
😦
check #h1-tech-fixes
I mean I get a save logo looking thing when I enter the room after a boss
i may be wrong tho, but thats what i saw
thanks I'll do that
maybe some people figured a way
there's a tutorial for recovering a save, although i've never tried it myself
my last run I literally did everything, was about to get the screen, and then I blue screened 😢
it happens in every game though so it's not a hades problem
||Heat|| is spoilers in this channel, by the way. Please spoiler-tag that. 
ah, oops
if the game crash usually it will load the beginning of the room it crashed in
source: my pc sucks
idk how it interacts with bluescreen though, if it counts as you terminating the game it might kick you back to skelly
Is dusa some type of beta medusa?
maid dusa
spoilers but dusa ||is actually the og medusa||
||that’s why she’s just a head, on account of dying when she was beheaded||
Does blizzard shot overwrite the effects of flood shot?
Or would there still be a knock away
i don’t think one of the two even appears when you have the other
i have poseidon cast atm
sure
oh wait lmao i miss read your comment
thought it was about duo interactions
yeah it overwrites it
makes sense, thanks
where/when is it said in the game?
all gorgons in the runs are also just heads (in asphodel) and there is even an interaction where zag ||asks dusa where her body is or if she can still use it|| and she answers with ||it being something very personal|||| and i think she also metioned still having a body but not using it? i'd have to go through dusa's quotes to actually confirm that||
okay i don’t remember the exact quote but iirc there’s a line somewhere which implies ||the other gorgons were formed from Dusa’s blood when she died, and then corrupted||
i don’t remember the one about ||her body tho|| that’s interesting
weird, dusa talks about ||the other gordon's to be her cousins?||
...i think this is #h1-story-discussion teritory
possible i got the wrong end of the stick somewhere, but that was my interpretation
when zag asks her in the beginning ||if she would be mad about him killing gorgons||
i like to think of dusa as an own entire being seperated from medusa. she's maid-dusa
fair
sad... i thought there was more to her story in the game, but if thats all there is, also ok
the majority of her story in game focuses on her ||relationship with zagreus and place in the house, as opposed to her backstory, which is kept fairly vague||
big mood re; wanting more tho lol
yeah the codex also offers only ||A background check confirmed she has only trace connections to the gorgons of Asphodel, though could not verify any connection to the notorious gorgon-sisters of the surface.|| this as background
i want more story for all the characters
it would also be complicated with the gods and zag once he turns to ||romance dusa|| if she really were medusa? since one of the origins of medusa tells that she was stalked by poseidon who.. non-con-ed her in athena's temple and athena therefore turned her into a monster that couldnt be looked at by any men? ||(since the gods feel it when something that concerns them happens in the underworld they would notice medusa being there and romancing zag now?)||
pretty sure ||romance stuff, including which characters have romance related plots|| are spoilers in this channel
but yeah i think that can mostly be explained by the fact that a) zag is a god, b) Dusa dying may have messed up the curse and c) artistic license on SGGs part
but i honestly don’t remember the quote well enough to be 100% sure i’m even right about this, so grain of salt me if you want
agree on the third point, dunno about b) or a) really mattering
fair
oops i didnt notice that i mentioned ||the romance|| again in the brackets, my bad
"grain of salt me" idk why it sounds wrong but if you wish for that, sure 
honestly it’s kind of a weird mangling of the idiom now you mention it lol
i’ve been saying it that way for a while, kinda surprising no one’s called me out on it before
then again the medusa origin i mentioned is only the second one, maybe you didnt get called out because most assume that sgg liked the other gorgon origin more
(like they liked the idea or eurydice being a woodnymph :) which is not really used often?)
oh i was referring specifically to “grain of salt me” being a weird phrase i use lol
ahh lol
i don’t know greek myth well enough to know whether anyone’s mangling it
never heard of that hah
studied it for 7 years, and everything sgg worked in from them into the game is really nice. whoever did the research on their team, i bow my head in deep appreciation
yeah it’s also neat for myth noobs like me
never would have learned about Zagreus otherwise lol
This is definitely #h1-story-discussion chat lol.
Like when half the conversation is spoiler-tagged, that's a good hint. 
seems obvious when you put it like that
wait did this whole convo spring from a new player ask if dusa is a beta
Dusa is a beta fish confirmed
Do Eurydice's boon level/rarity upgrades only apply to the core boons on the left column?
Hello i beat it for the first time
and then
uh
my savefile is now gone
does it happen with big updates that they get wiped_
have you checked your saves folder? the default is in documents/saved games/hades
cringe
no? i dont think so
look in #h1-tech-fixes there are some tips on how to get the savefile back?
o.o
Can you loop in this game?
loop as in?
Go back to the start of a run but keep your old items
The difficulty increases each loop
No
there are permanent items and non-perm
you can tellby the color of thelaurels when you enter the room
Color of laurels?
Hello um idk if this is the right channel to ask this but how do you unlock ||cthonic companions?||
deepen your relationship with (read: give a whole lotta nectar to) certain characters
u romance charicters
eventualy they will aprear in ur bed room
literaly
the three romanceable and 3 with major plots give cthonic companions when maxed hearts
There are 6 yes
so its the 3 romace
cause 6 weapons, 6 companions, we in hell dude
and then i think skelly, theseus and who?

Yeah yeah plus ||mino||
we are in #h1-for-new-players so please spoiler the names :)
theres a achilles plush
I didn’t know you can be companions w sisy dude
it's because he has a major plot
