h1-for-new-players

[leaden whale]

pretty solid keepsake

[brave solstice]

Its basically just an extra death defiance

[leaden whale]

yes

what are all these heat things i keep seeing everywhere?

are they the chambers or something?

[lavish skiff]

cerberus im gonna get next

[brave solstice]

Chaos portals?

[leaden whale]

yes

[brave solstice]

confused noise

[soft kelp]

Heats a difficulty modifier kinda

[leaden whale]

but ive seen heats in like thumbnails for videos

[brave solstice]

Manuel were the portals kinda a dark colour?

[leaden whale]

and i dont know if thats just a way to call a chamber or something im gonna figure out later

[lavish skiff]

any other ones I should get

[brave solstice]

Like a blackish blue?

[prime fox]

oh you get those after you beat the final boss

[leaden whale]

oh well

[lavish skiff]

are any of the god keepsakes good

[leaden whale]

but i have only seen one portal...

[soft kelp]

I like chaos's keepsake

[leaden whale]

it says it takes life away

ive never taken it tho

ohhh

i thought it was like an extra challenge

[brave solstice]

Work on getting the gods keepsakes incase you want to summon a certain god or goddess. They guarantee you’ll meet them first if you put them on in the beginning as well as boost rarity chance. Super helpful if you want to go for a certain build

God I didnt give Ares any nectar and he would NEVER show up until today

[soft kelp]

Costs hp but chaos has pretty useful boons especially since they stack well with other stuff

[brave solstice]

He got mad at me

Mhm

[leaden whale]

noted then

[lavish skiff]

can I get a daedalus keepsake

because daedalus is pog

[leaden whale]

i know weapons are sorta preference but would you say one is preffered?

like ive used the bow for now

[brave solstice]

Daedalus is indeed very pog

[pastel cipher]

@river grove chaos' pronouns are they/them theirs btw

[prime fox]

I usually use the sword or the gloves

sometimes the gun

[brave solstice]

All the weapons have their own good uses

[leaden whale]

yeah ive seen that

[lavish skiff]

i love divine dash

chaos time

[brave solstice]

I tend to either use spear or fists if I want to do a legitimate escape attempt, sometimes shield

Fists have gotten me farther than all the others

[lavish skiff]

tf does cosmic egg do

[leaden whale]

what do fists do? i still havent got them yet

[soft kelp]

I win with sword and fists the most

[brave solstice]

Cosmic egg makes it so you dont lose damage goo- yep

[prime fox]

the same thing as the other god boons (and you don't lose health)

[lavish skiff]

sick

[leaden whale]

and can you predict or summon what boons you get or is it just chance?

[prime fox]

you can choose which one you get first with their keepsake

[soft kelp]

Punch everything to death with style

[leaden whale]

oh ok still havent given elixir to gods yet

[brave solstice]

Artemis and Dionysus: Oh you only need one more boon for the prophecy? Well, youve done the prerequisites so here
Athena and Hermes: Oh you need one more? Suffer

[leaden whale]

only to the house dudes

[brave solstice]

I gave nectar to Artemis first because I love her sm

[leaden whale]

i gave my first to cerberus, dude dereves it

deserves*

[prime fox]

all gods but hermes I think have keepsakes that make their boons better and more common

[brave solstice]

Luckily I bought a fated persuasion so I can try twice to get the boon i need for athena

[leaden whale]

oh all right then

[lavish skiff]

trial of the gods time

[brave solstice]

Yeah Hermes is the only exception. Hes a weird one

[leaden whale]

so builds are what boons you use?

[soft kelp]

He's too busy to pop up enough for that kinda keepsake

[brave solstice]

I used hermes a few run attempts and got pretty far actually

[prime fox]

basically

[brave solstice]

Builds include many different things

[prime fox]

AAA WHY AM I FIGHTING ALL OF THE FATES AT ONCE WHAT

[brave solstice]

LMAO

GOODLUCK

[buoyant jacinth]

(Furies?)

[prime fox]

I'M ONLY ON THE FIRST HEAT LEVEL WHAT

[leaden whale]

i believe the weapon of choice, the dark skills used etc

the keepsake

[soft kelp]

It's not literally all 3 fortunately

[buoyant jacinth]

I see you have experienced Extreme Measures, have fun with it

[prime fox]

yeah i just saw that

[soft kelp]

They just hop in and assist the main fury

[brave solstice]

Yeah, theres the Weapon (including aspects), Keepsakes and their ranks, the Mirror, Boons, Hammers, etc...

[lavish skiff]

enshrouded strike good

[heady comet]

first heat level best is tight deadline

[prime fox]

oh do i only have to kill one?

[soft kelp]

Yes

[leaden whale]

hammers?

[prime fox]

cool

[heady comet]

if you can clear a run in under 36 minutes

[leaden whale]

i guess ill figure out later

[brave solstice]

Yeah

[leaden whale]

man still a lot of stuff to learn

[prime fox]

Daedalus

[brave solstice]

You’ll figure it out soon enough

[leaden whale]

still havent met him tho

[buoyant jacinth]

If you’re used to beating it yes, though plenty of folks don’t do that/don’t like the timer pressure

[brave solstice]

They basically upgrade your weapon directly

Instead of through boons

[leaden whale]

have had convos about deadalus with hercules but thats it

oh

[soft kelp]

Some hanmer upgrades are beautiful and fundamentally change a weapons style

[lavish skiff]

boss time

[prime fox]

ok that was pretty easy

[snow quarry]

Is there a way to consistently heal or do we just buy food from shops?

[prime fox]

it was just normal meg but with some extra attacks

[heady comet]

check every single charon well

[brave solstice]

I mean there are perks and stuff you can get that restore health when you enter a chamber

[heady comet]

there is usually a healing item in there

[lavish skiff]

damn meg is hell unprepared

[bitter haven]

Is chaos pretty much always worth the health? except vs a daedalus

[leaden whale]

i have the one that heals some hp every time you enter a new chamber

[heady comet]

biggest mistake when i was playing early on is i always skipped those

[prime fox]

not always

[bitter haven]

At the start, I mean

[leaden whale]

the choas portals, becuase im too

[brave solstice]

Dusa’s keepsake right?

[soft kelp]

A mirror upgrade grants minor hp regen per room. Otherwise it's mainly food, the challenges that can restore hp, or some special encounters like wells or npcs

[heady comet]

no im talking about charon wells

[leaden whale]

oh im going to most of those, when i have coins tho

if not i just go to next one

[heady comet]

chaos portals arent really necessary early game but you can take them; the health loss is negligible usually, its usually the boons which screw you over

[prime fox]

did you win against meg?

[leaden whale]

yes

[prime fox]

good job

[soft kelp]

[leaden whale]

but the first stage after that

like the lava stages

[prime fox]

hows asphodel treating you?

[leaden whale]

immediate death

[prime fox]

oh

same thing happened for me when i first got there

[soft kelp]

Asphodel is a nice difficulty bump

[leaden whale]

didnt realized lava took life....

nice learning curve tho

[lavish skiff]

75 hp starting a run is kinda good

[brave solstice]

If you think Asphodel is hell wait until you get to the ||Temple of Styx||

[bitter haven]

I've been pretty stuck on asphodel

[brave solstice]

I hate it so much

[leaden whale]

yeah i still have a question about the hp

is there a way to increase it?

[brave solstice]

Yeah sure go ahead

Yeah there is

[heady comet]

theres a mirror upgrade which increases starting to 100

[leaden whale]

i always start at 50

[soft kelp]

I struggle with the 3rd area more than the 4th, for whatever reason

[heady comet]

then the hearts increase by 25 each

[leaden whale]

oh i believe its one of the ones at the bottom

[heady comet]

and then dark by 5 each once you get contractor upgrade

[prime fox]

i never really had problems with ||styx||

[brave solstice]

In the mirror you can upgrade, centaur hearts throughout the run, and cerberus collar

[lavish skiff]

DAEDALUS TIME

[buoyant jacinth]

Hammer time

😛

[soft kelp]

Hammer time!

[leaden whale]

i dont think asphodel is hell, just died from lava so still havent really played there

i guess ill figure out later

[brave solstice]

I think its just cause Im not prepared a lot of the time. I usually get to that area when Im NOT focused on escaping, so I dont have the proper boons for it

[lavish skiff]

all of these are kinda meh

[brave solstice]

Plus Ive only been there twice so

[buoyant jacinth]

Whatcha get?

[leaden whale]

what boons are reccommended for an attempt?

[heady comet]

id honestly take the boss battles first (ones with skull marks)

[lavish skiff]

pulverizing blow, ferocious guard, and charged flight

pulverizing blow seems the best tbh

[buoyant jacinth]

All of those are decent

[brave solstice]

Alright

[heady comet]

since less chance of dying to annyoing poison that way

and theres only one enemy to focus

[leaden whale]

i kinda struggled with the bomb skeletons at first....

[brave solstice]

Yeah poison can piss off

[heady comet]

instead of like 6 waves of poison threat

[leaden whale]

so didnt take them so often

[buoyant jacinth]

Pulverizing can be real good, Ferocious Guard is easier to turn on than you’d expect

[covert cosmos]

Hows the game?

[leaden whale]

pretty good

[brave solstice]

Pain

[leaden whale]

[brave solstice]

I feel nothing but pain

[covert cosmos]

wish i had the game lol since it has good reviews. rip

[buoyant jacinth]

Hot take, game’s good

[covert cosmos]

I saw it on the game awards so i was curios

[brave solstice]

Get it its very epic

[leaden whale]

really hot take there, i imagine a lot of people REALLY disagree with that one

[lavish skiff]

different league time

aka tank time

[buoyant jacinth]

I mean we’ve had a couple people come in with disagreement

[leaden whale]

i got it bcuz of game awards

[covert cosmos]

If only i could

[leaden whale]

also bcuz discount on steam

soooooooo

[covert cosmos]

dang

[soft kelp]

I'm biased. It's satisfying.

[leaden whale]

the artsyle is really pleasing to look at...

[covert cosmos]

Some of my friends have it

AAAAAaaa

[old escarp]

I guess Hades is pretty alright

[brave solstice]

“Alright y’know Greek gods? Make them hot”
furious clapping

[leaden whale]

pretty much

the convos are basically dating sim like

[soft kelp]

Dionysus in particular

[leaden whale]

3 hours in, i say its good

[covert cosmos]

Prob never gunna get it. Cuz well:

[soft kelp]

I been playing since asphodel was the furthest you could go

[brave solstice]

Idek my hours im too lazy to go check

Ok real talk I had never seen the art for Aphrodite until I played and when I saw her for the first time I went 👁👄👁

[leaden whale]

i mean its not THAT expensive...

[covert cosmos]

alright gunna leave the server. Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[leaden whale]

x2

[leaden whale]

you 2 buddy

[brave solstice]

You too see ya

I wonder if Hades is gonna beat my favourite game of all time in the amount of hours

[leaden whale]

which issss?

[buoyant jacinth]

Already most hours for me, though that wasn’t hard

[brave solstice]

Hollow Knight. I have around 700 h on that bad boy

[buoyant jacinth]

Bc I am still baby gamer

[leaden whale]

damn

[lavish skiff]

boss time, this time I have full hp and a revive

[leaden whale]

i feel like this is gonna be my most hoursa

but only bcuz i got my pc like a month ago

[brave solstice]

But I can easily see Hades topping that

H o w

[leaden whale]

an the most ive played of something is among us and that is 35 hours so yeah probably gonna beat it

[brave solstice]

H o w d o p e o p l e h a v e t h e t i m e f o r t h a t

[leaden whale]

E X C U S E M E W H A T

[soft kelp]

Roguelikes hunger for our time

[brave solstice]

Me

When you want to play Hades all day tmr but you have karate testing tmr

[lavish skiff]

NOOOOOOOOOO

[leaden whale]

haden in real life then....

[lavish skiff]

MEG WAS LIKE 1 HIT AWAY FROM DYING

[leaden whale]

damn

F

[lavish skiff]

should've played a bit safer after revive

[soft kelp]

Next time

[brave solstice]

F

Defo try getting some health upgrades I think

[soft kelp]

Maxing out the mirror makes a huge difference

[leaden whale]

i saw the ign review, they said the average attempts for a succesful escape was 31

[brave solstice]

...

Damn I suck

[leaden whale]

here i am at like 17 with only beating meg like damn

[lavish skiff]

i have max mirror rn but i need to get more keys to unlock more talents

[brave solstice]

Im at 41 and Ive only gotten to the second room in ||Styx||

[soft kelp]

I took a lot of attempts to get far. But you'll get where you consistently make it further than the first few zones every time

[lavish skiff]

my mirror got upgraded so now the top talents have more stuff

[leaden whale]

what

[lavish skiff]

fiery presence and stuff

is any of that worth it

[leaden whale]

24 attempts?

[brave solstice]

I suck at video games my god

[leaden whale]

i am starting to notice the same thing here

at this rate im going to do my succesful escape at like 7834

[soft kelp]

My first clear was before they technically added the ending so I don't know if it counts. But it was like 50 tries

[cinder pulsar]

I got my first clear at run 40

[old escarp]

As long as you're having fun, I wouldn't focus on your progress compared to others, everyone will advance at their own pace

[leaden whale]

i guess so...

[prime fox]

should i get side hustle or extra dash?

[cinder pulsar]

It's possible with enough effort, just keep going

[pastel cipher]

extra dash imo

[buoyant jacinth]

Yeah, don’t focus too nuch on comparing progress to others

[prime fox]

didnt mean to respond to that lol

[buoyant jacinth]

Extra dash for sure

[soft kelp]

Or the speed boost after a dash

[brave solstice]

I mean I kinda sucked at Hollow Knight too when I first started. Took me way longer than normal to get 112%, but I got better ig
So ig I’ll just have to get better at Hades

[soft kelp]

Maybe after party too as insurance

[buoyant jacinth]

Trust me you’ll get better

[leaden whale]

oh wait actually looking at my steam page im 4.5 hours in

[buoyant jacinth]

If I can play this game well you’ll absolutely be able to

[brave solstice]

When you have extra mirror dash and hermes dash, as well as speed boost: I am speed

[leaden whale]

i am still unlocking the whole mirror

[lavish skiff]

daedalus is pog

[brave solstice]

True

[leaden whale]

so does skelly i believe

[pastel cipher]

||Demeter|| is considered spoilers in this channel @soft kelp

[buoyant jacinth]

Nah, that’s just the keepsake, different thing

[pastel cipher]

so please use spoiler tags

[soft kelp]

Oof I'll delete

[leaden whale]

yeah im using spoiler tags

[lavish skiff]

CURSED SLASH YO

[leaden whale]

so no problem here 👍

[lavish skiff]

should I get cursed slash or is it not worth it

[brave solstice]

||Let me beat the game and see winter mom god damn it I wanna see Detemer||. (After first run completion spoilers)

[buoyant jacinth]

What are your other options?

[lavish skiff]

hoarding slash and double nova

[leaden whale]

that entire sentence is spoiler covered, soooooo

[buoyant jacinth]

Hoarding’s less likely to ruin you later on but Cursed Slash is a solid one

[leaden whale]

well imma gonna go die some more

so cya

[buoyant jacinth]

(Do pls tag spoilers appropriately with why they’re spoilered)

[brave solstice]

Cya

[buoyant jacinth]

👋 we’ll see you back at the House eventually

[prime fox]

any tips for getting gems? gotta make the snake head happy

[brave solstice]

You can find gems at Charons shop as well as in the well

[lavish skiff]

cursed slash is so good for facetanking holy

[brave solstice]

And also on your runs, and as an award for completing prophecies

[prime fox]

thanks

[soft kelp]

Fishing can get you gems

[brave solstice]

That too

[soft kelp]

And exchanging other resources at the merchant guy at the base

[brave solstice]

All the various Gods and Goddess prophecies (getting all their boons) gives you 150 each

[lavish skiff]

support fire is insane

[prime fox]

why is zag trying to be friends with the ||bone hydra|| lol

[brave solstice]

Why not smh

Anyways Im gonna head to bed now

[lavish skiff]

40 hp meg time

died instantly because im bad at dodging

[fallen canyon]

oof

having fun yet?

[lavish skiff]

yea

[prime fox]

one of athena's boons makes you pretty much invincible when dodging, maybe get that one

[lavish skiff]

the reflect one?

[buoyant jacinth]

Dash deflect real good

[prime fox]

yeah

[lavish skiff]

gotta go get some more nectar then since I gave my last one to dusa

[fallen canyon]

eyy

dusa is my best friend

[soft kelp]

[lavish skiff]

too bad i'll never use the keepsake

its jsut

break pots

you get hp

[soft kelp]

Really if you enjoy breaking things it's the best option

[lavish skiff]

charged flight, charged shot or explosive return

[old escarp]

You should try everything at least once

[lavish skiff]

good point

i got the charged flight one

[buoyant jacinth]

Charged Shot’s real fun, you basically get to play bow+shield

Stand in a corner and cheese enemies

[lavish skiff]

i found an infernal trove yay

YES

I BEAT MEG

FINALLY

time for asphodel

[buoyant jacinth]

Nice

[lavish skiff]

died at the 2nd area of asphodel but I beat meg so

[snow quarry]

Is offering nectar to hades worth it?

[leaden whale]

It's always worth it for more emotionally constipated lines of dialogues

Also unlike everyone else he ||gives them all back to you when you have maxxed out the nectar you can give him||

[cinder pulsar]

Also also, ||his relationship meter caps out at 5 where everyone else's is around 9-10||

[prime fox]

WAIT WHAT ||THE COMPANIONS ACTUALLY SUMMON THE CHARACTER??? I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A DOLL||

[leaden whale]

A whole new world opens up for you

||So many hilarious lines triggered by invoking x character against/along with y character||

[prime fox]

ooh

[leaden whale]

anyways

im back from dying more

[dire spindle]

So guys what is the god mode do?

I see

Oh well I am still using the normal mode

I just like hard game

Give me all the hard challenge.

:)

I see.

Anyway the art style kind of reminds me a bit of a comic book.

[waxen gale]

I finally defeated ||theseus|| and ||asterius||

then i died

I should probably use my specials morr

[ancient junco]

yeah learning to use all of your abilities is important

[leaden whale]

I had done 3 successful runs before I realized the cast was useful and actually started using it

But yeah with some weapons you'll prob not like the special or the attack and use the other more...

and some weapons you'll hate so much you'll only ever use the cast when wielding them

The bow, it's getting better, but the first run I finally managed to win with the bow, I barely used it

I hate the special, weirdly enough. I have a pretty good timing with the normal shot to get the max dmg

But I still hate the bow in general, I should try and explore the aspects more

[obsidian locust]

Try using your special as a shotgun rather than a multi clearing attack

You'd be surprised how broken Chiron aspect can be

[leaden whale]

Aaah I should do that

[obsidian locust]

I think it's the most popular aspect for bow

[leaden whale]

Especially since my favourite weapon is the railgun with aspect of Hestia because I can use it as a shotgun

[obsidian locust]

I've found that Dionysus and Aphrodite work the best with Bow special

[leaden whale]

Same, doom is satisfying in general

[obsidian locust]

I agree, but you'd be surprised on how powerful hangover stacks can be

[leaden whale]

I got attached to it following a couple runs where I literally just kept running into Ares so at the end everything I did inflicted mad doom

[obsidian locust]

But I think ares on fists is the best

Do try a Merciful End build. It's extremely strong

And super fun

Yup

It's pretty effective

[low kestrel]

who should I target first, the Centaurus or These

idk if it's the good name I had to translate it

[lyric quiver]

I always kill asterius first

[low kestrel]

asterius is the other guy ok didn't know his name in english

[daring delta]

You're thinking ||Minotaur||. Some people say One, some the other

[lyric quiver]

the boss battle becomes kind of a pain if asterius is still on the field while theseus calls a god

[daring delta]

Whatever you think is easier

[low kestrel]

yeah this happened

I was pretty far on my first try ngl

both had around 1 third of life left

ok so let's try to kill theseus

[lyric quiver]

good luck

[low kestrel]

already resurrected I don't think I'll do it

only 6 HP left oof

[carmine cliff]

idk if this is the right place to ask, but cross-saves pc-switch are working now? or it is still in development? thanks.

[leaden whale]

right now it’s still under development, check out #hades-faq

[rotund patrol]

why i cant play with controller ps5?

[harsh leaf]

can you play ANY other game with that controller? Probably a driver issue

[brave solstice]

I have a Trial of the Gods between Zeus and Ares. Which one should I pick first. I barely get these two when doing these

[heady comet]

both have similar aoe attacks

so whichever one you want first

[brave solstice]

I think I’ll pick Zeus first just because Im trying to get his tier 2 boons for the prophecy

[floral nacelle]

In terms of story, I prefer angering ares, because he seems to like it after the trial

because you just did violence in his name

[brave solstice]

Lol

Ofc he would

[drifting bluff]

Check out explainer videos from Haelian and Jawless Paul on YouTube. It reeeeeeally helped me with all the subtleties of the game.

[brave solstice]

Jesus that was painful. The room was small and the blade rifts were so big

Plus im using rail which Im not comfortable with

[prime fox]

whoever thought the witch room in asphodel was a good idea needs to be fired

[subtle granite]

why

[floral nacelle]

I usually lose a DD in witch room

[subtle granite]

get athena's deflect or use a companion after getting them to you in the safe corner of the room

that or get their armor down fast, they are easily stunable

[vestal reef]

Gods Pride vs Gods legacy?

[heady comet]

depends on build

[harsh leaf]

More boons > less boons

[heady comet]

this is the epic vs legendary duo one

[harsh leaf]

Oh man, I always get those mixed up

[heady comet]

usually legacy is better at low dif tho

[harsh leaf]

Well, in that case I'd recommend newer players to stick with +Epic

[heady comet]

i thought new-medium difficulty go with legendary/duo, hgher difficulty go with epic

[harsh leaf]

New players barely understand that Duos and legendaries have requirements, having +chance for them aint gonna help.

[stoic spear]

how do you get good at fishing

[harsh leaf]

Two tips
1- There will be a maximum of three bobs before a bite. If you have three fakeouts, then the fourth one will always be a bite

2- The time between a fake bob and a true bite is always the same. If it takes too long, it's another bob

[prime fox]

any tips on dealing with the chariots?

[vestal reef]

hang on, there can be fake bobs?

[stoic spear]

i didnt even know that, thx

[harsh leaf]

Uh.... were you always reeling in on the first bob??

[prime fox]

that's what i was doing when I first got it lol

[vestal reef]

Yup always, feels like a 25% chance to get a fish. I taught I just had bad reactions.

[harsh leaf]

What I find also helps is to not look at the rod and instead look up a bit and react to the pillar of light

[floral nacelle]

the bob sinks less when it's false

[harsh leaf]

Are you on MKB? On controller even the rumble for a bob and a bite are different

[vestal reef]

So, if I just wait four bobs. I have a 100% for a real bite? Or am I just being dumb atm

[prime fox]

most of the time

[harsh leaf]

Well, the fish can bite any time before that

It wont always wait for the fourth one

[prime fox]

the bobber stays down for alot longer if it's real

any tips for dealing with the chariots?

[harsh leaf]

Yeah, just dash through the barriers

[vestal reef]

Is there really no keepsake that guarantes a Herme boon?

[stoic spear]

I dont think so

[floral nacelle]

no keepsake that guarantees a daedalus hammer either

[vestal reef]

Yeah I know, but kinda strange since Hermes is the only good without that kind of Keepsake. I'm guessing since he's not really an olympian god

[floral nacelle]

he's like a chthonic god too

[heady comet]

yah but u wanna do it as fast as possible since faster = better reward

[harsh leaf]

Hermes works differently

[vestal reef]

Hermes is kind of both

[heady comet]

so you either look for the glint of light or the sound

[harsh leaf]

The game will almost always give you two Hermes boons anyways

[vestal reef]

@harsh leaf In what ways?

[harsh leaf]

And you can never get more than two in a run, with a chance for the third in Styx

Same with hammers

[vestal reef]

Oh, is that way I keep getting Hermes boons even when I have Keepsakes that guarantes Ares or Athena

[harsh leaf]

Yes

[vestal reef]

That's intresting, nice detail.

Is there a limit to amount of Chaos boons?

[harsh leaf]

No

Chaos gates have a set number of chambers you need to wait for another one to spawn, though, so there is a functional limit

You can force one to appear with the Well boon, which I think is also the only way to make a gate appear in Styx

[floral nacelle]

Does the well boon that forces chaos even show in styx?

[magic urchin]

i cant beat minitaur and the other guy? Is there any strat for defeating them?

[vestal reef]

Focus Minotaur, his attack patterns are really easy to follow and counter. Keep your feet moving to avoid aholes spear throws

[worldly bear]

Try default sword + heal 2 hp on hit hammer mod + attack speed boons from Hermes.

[magic urchin]

thanks man

[magic urchin]

thanks for the info

[worldly bear]

And maybe Athena deflect on attack boon too.

And deflect dash.

[stoic spear]

And when the spear guy is aiming on you, run behind smt

[magic urchin]

Thanks for the info guys 👍

also is there any weapon unblockable after the rail gun?

[stoic spear]

no but there will be different kinds of the already unlocked weapons

[magic urchin]

ok

[stoic spear]

Does anyone think that there are going to be more weapons in the further update?

[magic urchin]

they should right?

[stoic spear]

idk

[magic urchin]

they should increase playstyles

the one present are specific

[stoic spear]

kinda, but i like it

[magic urchin]

maybe some hybrid types would be fun , idk

[stoic spear]

its rly fun

yeah i guess

[magic urchin]

or they should be drops from bosses

like one from meg

[vestal reef]

I actually have no problem with the weapon amount, as some boons and hammers can greatly alter your playstyle

[magic urchin]

and etc

[stoic spear]

i think they do

[vestal reef]

I do however, find the enemy varerity, kinda weak,

[magic urchin]

oh so there are boss drop weapons?

[stoic spear]

yeah, but i just thought that more weapons could be more enjoyable

[vestal reef]

@magic urchin no

[magic urchin]

okayy

So boss drop weapons would be cool right?

[stoic spear]

i think more boos drop could also be fun

idrk

[stoic spear]

idk, but it sound like a fun idea

[magic urchin]

[stoic spear]

lol

[magic urchin]

what else games do u play?

[stoic spear]

rdr

gta and more rpg

hby

[magic urchin]

i completed terraria recently

[stoic spear]

nice

[magic urchin]

and playing good ol bioshock

[stoic spear]

whats that

[magic urchin]

bioshock is like horror scifi shooter ig

[stoic spear]

oh

i dont rly like playing shooters

[drifting bluff]

Bioshock was so good! I want to replay Infinite again.

[magic urchin]

oh k

see we got a bioshock fan here

[stoic spear]

lol

[fathom crown]

So hey, still trying for my first clear but also I do care about advancing relationships with characters... How much would I regret trading away early ambrosia for titan blood for weapon upgrades?

[stoic spear]

no regrets

u can get these later on

[fathom crown]

Not going to run out of ambrosia later or anything?

[drifting bluff]

You’ll always get more

[fathom crown]

Ok

[stoic spear]

yeah

[vestal reef]

I have 11 ambriosa atm, I keep getting them at alarming rates with no characters to use them on yet. Trading them in is probably win win

[stoic spear]

hey guys, whats god mode?

i was trying to turn the music down and found it

[vestal reef]

hold your mouse over it and read below

[magic urchin]

god mode is like hardcore diifficulty

[stoic spear]

oh

[fathom crown]

What, no

[vestal reef]

God Mode is the opposite

[magic urchin]

oh

[stoic spear]

it makes the game easier

[vestal reef]

It's easymode

[magic urchin]

sorry wrong perception

[stoic spear]

lol

[magic urchin]

in other games god mode would be like harder

[stoic spear]

yeah

[magic urchin]

but here we are going to be a god like so it is easier

[fathom crown]

God mode is 20% damage reductions, but everytime you die it gets damage reductionier

[stoic spear]

wait if u play a lot with it

[waxen gale]

When can i marry dusa

[stoic spear]

those it mean you can take like no damage

[fathom crown]

I believe there's eventually a cap.

[stoic spear]

wait what

oh

[vestal reef]

@waxen gale why marry dusa when you can marry achilles gachiHYPER bussy

[stoic spear]

hahahaah

[waxen gale]

but bro

that head

oh god

too cute

[stoic spear]

true

[magic urchin]

what weapon is ur playstyle guys?

[stoic spear]

twin fist

[magic urchin]

mine is stygian blade

[stoic spear]

and the bow

rly?

lmao

[vestal reef]

Sword, Ares Doom boons and athena dash with Posdeion special, never died before Hades boss fight with it.

[waxen gale]

Twin fists

are good

[stoic spear]

omg yes

[stoic spear]

so good

[magic urchin]

misterwondo must be a pro

[waxen gale]

With poseidon and zeus boons they're even better

[stoic spear]

yeah most likely

i like ares more

[vestal reef]

the above statement is true, but dont investigate further into it please

[magic urchin]

i dont like the wine and love char

[stoic spear]

yall got the ||the hidden aspect||?

[magic urchin]

nope

[stoic spear]

for the twin fist

[waxen gale]

Ares doom boons aren't good with the sword tho

arent they better with the bow?

[stoic spear]

idk

i think it good anyway

[waxen gale]

I just generally dislike the sword, consistent damage is what i like

[magic urchin]

what type of boons is best with sword?

[waxen gale]

Also anyone actually used specials here?

[stoic spear]

yeah

[magic urchin]

twin fists is also a go for me

[vestal reef]

uhh.

I didn't swear, and got a warning

[waxen gale]

specials are kinda bad imo

[stoic spear]

lmao

[magic urchin]

so what boons should i choose for my sword?

[waxen gale]

no idea

[stoic spear]

idk for the sword

but get the athena dash

its good for everything

[waxen gale]

I've never got the athena dash before

[stoic spear]

rly?

[waxen gale]

[magic urchin]

athena dash is god of what i forgot

[waxen gale]

yeah

[stoic spear]

get it its rly good

[prime fox]

zeus is always pretty good

[vestal reef]

@waxen gale doom boon is perfect for sword imo. The time for your special to go off gives enough time for the doom to go off so you can then after speical give them doom effect with your basic right after, giving you perfect burst. but thats just my opinion, people have different playstyles ig.

[stoic spear]

athena is the god of wisdom and war

[vestal reef]

@magic urchin Wisdom

Wisdom in war innit?

[magic urchin]

misterwondo is a wiki

[stoic spear]

yeah i thinl

[waxen gale]

Lol

[floral nacelle]

like strategy in warfare

while ares represents more primal emotions in war

[waxen gale]

Ive came to the temple of styx

[vestal reef]

Yeah, goes well with her whole defensive boons kind of theme going on.

[waxen gale]

but couldn't pass it

the poison damage was too much

[stoic spear]

btw y marry dusa when you can marry Thanatos

[magic urchin]

so actually how long does it take to beat the game

[floral nacelle]

Yeah, athena can't exactly tell you to dodge, so she offers the next best thing, blocking stuff

[vestal reef]

You can remove the poision with those statue thingies in Styx @waxen gale

[waxen gale]

why marry thanatos when you can marry cerberus and hades at the same time

[stoic spear]

y hades

[vestal reef]

@magic urchin my longest is 30 and shortest 22.

[magic urchin]

[vestal reef]

Incest is more common than uncommon in Greek mythology my friend

[stoic spear]

yes

but still

[waxen gale]

bruh

[vestal reef]

Zeus basically funded his entire family tree alone

[stoic spear]

hahaha

yes

i love this server

[magic urchin]

also i have a big doubt, so u told it took 30 hrs so did u have to do it 30 hrs straight

[vestal reef]

@magic urchin I'm talking minutes my friend

[stoic spear]

lmao

[vestal reef]

Longest succesful run was 30 minutes, shortest 22.

[magic urchin]

oops sorry

how many attempts did it take? @vestal reef

[stoic spear]

imma go

bye

idk u sound like a pro to me

[magic urchin]

ok👍

yeah u know the facts too much

ur intelligence on the game scares me

[vestal reef]

Just good memory. When I like a game I tend to dig into it.

[magic urchin]

also when does christmas sale start on steam?

[prime fox]

oh no

||orpheus is singing about how i'm dionysus||

[brave solstice]

Lmao

[prime fox]

what have i done

[brave solstice]

I love that little nod at Greek mythology

Because ||zag and dionysus sometimes got mixed as the same god||

[vestal reef]

Yeah, this game has so many hints at small details in greek mythology

[stoic spear]

ahhahaah

[worldly bear]

I only knew that one bc I read the Wikipedia on Zagreus like five minutes before I got to the reference in the game. XD

[vestal reef]

Any recommendations for what the first pact of punishments to get? I got two Damage Control on since it seems easy enough to get those two down and it hardly makes a difference on bosses.

[ancient junco]

Yeah I liked that too I think ||the story zag said to orpehus is real in mythology||

[ancient junco]

Tbh I started with the upgrading the bosses because I was already good at them I think it's about what you feel comfortable with

[prime fox]

I don't remember the name but the one that upgrades traps is pretty easy

heightened security

[floral nacelle]

Yeah, I started with extreme measures

And middle management is good too

[vestal reef]

Would you say those are better than Damage control?

[limber nova]

Hello friends

Does it matter who I give ambrosia to first? Ideally I wanted to give it to Meg but haven't had that option yet, however I can give it to Charon

[vestal reef]

You'll get tons of ambrosia. I gave mine to Charon first.

[limber nova]

OK cool. I didn't know if it "unlocked" an ending for them

[worldly bear]

Give at least 1 to everyone whenever you can, imo.

[limber nova]

I have given nectar to everyone

But i guess ambrosia can only be given when you unlock the padlock heart?

[harsh leaf]

Correct

[fathom crown]

"padlock heart", my awesome band, check us out on soundcloud

[heady comet]

maxing either meg or sisyphus first is best

[leaden whale]

sisyphus for the win

emergency heal plus darkness and obol

nvm, I'm talking about things likely past first clear.

just give a nectar to everybody at first to get their keep sakes and use the keep sakes that seem the most useful

for total beginners, the dog collar is good, then either skelly's tooth for another death defiance or hypnos' purse for some instant coin

after you understand builds a little, use the God keep sakes to get the boons you want

good luck on your first clear

[vestal reef]

any recommendation for what Gods to use for the shield?

[stoic spear]

idk

[leaden whale]

athena dash ares attack and the duo boon that drops wrath

i also like doing whatever gets you big ares blade rifts that either seek or freeze... but freeze is after the first clear

and then playing defensively

I'm not very good at shield yet

[snow quarry]

just ran into ||chaos|| is he usually worth it?

[digital sparrow]

i feel like "try it" is the best answer there

[harsh leaf]

Sometimes he is and sometimes he isnt and the only way to get a feel either way is to do it lots and see for yourself

[leaden whale]

i had a very good run right now

got to beat the hydra my very first time against it! fell proud

but then the minotaur whooped me

[cyan thistle]

Minotaur is rough imo

[ancient junco]

On his own? Without theseus?

[stoic spear]

minotaur is hard the first few times

it gets easier

[drifting bluff]

Always.

[ancient junco]

Meg hydra and minotaur I found all of them pretty easy from the first time especially hydra I think I've never lost a death defiance to that thing before I started using heat

[drifting bluff]

And it’s “they” 😉

[leaden whale]

I lost both my death defiances to that

[ancient junco]

True. Because they are like James Charles 😂

[leaden whale]

it took me a while to get what i was doing

so wandering about i lost them both

[ancient junco]

Well not gonna lie 249 hours on tboi and 160 on hollow knight maybe made my gaming reflexes a lot better

And both of these games are harder than hades hades is still hard though

[snow quarry]

Skelly's keepsake is so nice

[harsh leaf]

It's...... not really. Spiked Collar usually ends up being much better

[waxen gale]

Is an anvil of fates worth it?

[harsh leaf]

No

Pretty much never

[waxen gale]

hm

[harsh leaf]

But feel free to take it until you find out why it's bad!

[waxen gale]

Im between 2 zeus boons or a pom

Which one should i buy

[lavish skiff]

i beat meg for my first time without needing to use a revive LETS GOOOO

[waxen gale]

Nice

after beating her once you'll see how easy she is

[lavish skiff]

fists are so good

especially since I got concentrated knuckle

[ancient junco]

I love how this game has a different attraction for every player and how actually every weapon is good

Alright some of them are slightly better and some slightly worse but every weapon has potential

[lavish skiff]

asphodel is hell man

[ancient junco]

It's actually in hell...

Alright bad joke I'm sorry

[brave solstice]

Luckily Asphodel has very widely spaced rooms and enemies. You’ll be able to find some place to retreat most of the time

[ancient junco]

Yeah that's true... are you listening styx?

[lavish skiff]

quick recovery seems hella OP

[brave solstice]

I wish I got Hades on my switch im so bored rn

[ancient junco]

I was I got it on my switch too but I need a switch to do that but yeah I think we have the same problem not being able to play rn

[brave solstice]

Yeah lol

[lavish skiff]

tf is this diamond thing in asphodel

it was the boss and I died

[brave solstice]

Its another account upgrade. Kinda like Titans blood, but you can use it for trades and stuff, just not upgrading weapons

[lavish skiff]

i was doing hella damage though

[brave solstice]

You can also get upgrades from the House Contractor with diamonds

[lavish skiff]

so I need to beat the bone hydra for that stuff?

i got the fated prophecies

[brave solstice]

Yeah you beat the Bone Hydra to get the diamond

You can also get diamonds from completing prophecies

Gemstones and darkness too

[lavish skiff]

i got 3 nectar from beating a prophecy so nice

[brave solstice]

Nice

[lavish skiff]

what should I use it on

[brave solstice]

Well I would use it to get the keepsakes you dont have

[lavish skiff]

i should prolly get the athena one

for holy dash and stuff

[brave solstice]

Check your codex and see which characters you dont have one heart with

[ancient junco]

Yes that's a nice thought athena's dash is rly helpful

[brave solstice]

Although some keepsakes arent going to be available to you atm for spoiler reasons

[lavish skiff]

wait I can gift meg?

[brave solstice]

Yep

You can find her in the lounge most of the time after you defeat her. Just check after each run

[lavish skiff]

oh nice its just a low hp damage buff

[ancient junco]

Yes her keepsake is... decent

[lavish skiff]

rn im gonna just keep grinding up the cerberus one

[ancient junco]

I recommend skelly's

[lavish skiff]

should I get the hermes one

[vestal reef]

It's decent

Just, try to get all the keepsakes as they're all useful at some point and in certain situations

[lavish skiff]

i love ares

[harsh leaf]

Spiked Collar is better

[lavish skiff]

curse of agony just mmmm

and flaring spin good

lvl 4 curse of agony

meg died

[vestal reef]

Are you gonna update us with every event in your run?

[lavish skiff]

gonna go beat the hydra now

yo strong drink seems insane for long runs

[ancient junco]

Maybe depending on your boons ares and athena would help rly much at making skelly's more useful

[harsh leaf]

No, no, Spiked Collar is pretty much always better.

Spiked Collar gives you fifty HP immediately, then 25 more for each of your regular DDs. So right off the bat it's already 125 HP vs Skelly's 100 HP

But Collar also gives you HP every single time you heal, too, so it ends up being waaaay more HP over the course of a run

Skelly gives you 100 HP ONCE, at the END, and the entire rest of the time it does nothing

It's not a good keepsake, it's a trap. But it does "feel good" if you're the kind of player that gets very anxious

[ancient junco]

Yeah but you can boost it with athena for hp and protecting and ares for some damage but I guess you are right

[harsh leaf]

But... having Spiked Collar means those Athena boons also heal you for more

And the Ares boon isnt even good either!

[ancient junco]

Alright

[leaden whale]

I think bablo takes tooth for aspho/elysium

[vestal reef]

But for a really new player, that hasnt unlocked many DDs. Skelly tooth is better.

[leaden whale]

but that's also high heat sd

[harsh leaf]

Huh. No god keepsakes? Does he run seeded then?

[lavish skiff]

what does titan blood do

[harsh leaf]

Dont worry about it right now, you'll find out when you unlock all weapons

[vestal reef]

The game will explain it pretty well

[ancient junco]

Unlocking weapon aspects and upgrading weapons

[lavish skiff]

oh sick

[vestal reef]

Nvm then

[leaden whale]

i don't recall if he had a keepsake for tart (most likely), and he runs unseeded cmiiw

[ancient junco]

You'll understand eventually

[lavish skiff]

so I just need to unlock the gun and I can upgrade stuff

[leaden whale]

i asked him in chat why tooth and not acorn

[gleaming pivot]

What is the best keepsake? ATM I carry the Chaos Egg as I love the Chaos upgrades

[leaden whale]

his reasoning was that acorn is useless until you get to the boss fight

[harsh leaf]

The one you like the most

[leaden whale]

with tooth you can get a use out of it in normal chambers

[vestal reef]

Depends on your build really doesnt it

[gleaming pivot]

I see, thanks

[ancient junco]

Dusa's is the best

This game is too balanced to have worsts and bests with big gups

[fathom crown]

I keep the tooth on standby, so that if a run is going badly I can switch to the tooth and maybe get through one more boss

Lately I have been mostly using the butterfly, in an attempt to try to train myself to dodge more and stop facetanking

[amber laurel]

so, what generally is the best god to aim for for each weapon?

[harsh leaf]

Really depends

[amber laurel]

like, when playing fists i really like going for zeus since his chain lightning things seem to synergize well with small, quick attacks

[harsh leaf]

If you're new, a good god for every weapon is Athena. Her dash and call will let you live much, much longer

[fathom crown]

Athena's dash is very good.

It's not an inspired take, but I really like Dionysus's cast; it's slow but it does heavy ranged AoE damage with a status.

Poseidon on main attack is also useful for survival, because it's got knockback. Feels good to me on the sword, for instance, with those wide swings you can just clear your area.

[loud canopy]

if I can't get artemis for bow primary, I'm usually happy with poseidon as a backup

[amber laurel]

yeah, the sword is actually something i like running athena on, exactly for those wide sweeping attacks for your attack boon

[fathom crown]

Oh yeah, deflection attack with sword is really fun against those witches with the cluster shot. They crumple quick

[amber laurel]

but i guess it's also pretty good on shield?

[fathom crown]

Probably. I think it's less of a priority with shield, personally, because you can already block with the shield (while charging bull rush)

Want to put in an honorable mention for primary attack chain lightning on the gun, which is a powerful upgrade to my least favorite weapon.

[torn plaza]

who do i need to give more nectar to in order to continue giving nectar to Sisyphus?

[heady comet]

||talks once to bouldy, then finish his story line by purchasing something from contractor - takes some rng to get all the lines||

[torn plaza]

how do i spoiler tag?

[heady comet]

||

[torn plaza]

lol

[amber laurel]

whoops

[amber laurel]

oh yea that's right, that's basically my argument for fists but even better lol

[scarlet sluice]

So I've heard that ||there are multiple ending or routes for the game||
is that a thing and if so what's a basic explanation of how they work without spoiling the story

[harsh leaf]

There is a single ending

There are no "routes"

[scarlet sluice]

huh

So I guess that was just clickbait

[buoyant jacinth]

There are arguably two “levels” of story completion but yeah, it’s a single narrative

[scarlet sluice]

okay thanks!

also about the Aspects of weapons

does the last one unlock if you complete the prophesy regarding said weapon?

[harsh leaf]

No

[scarlet sluice]

is it a story thing?

[floral nacelle]

No, hidden aspects involve talking to people

[harsh leaf]

Dont just read off a list of Prophecies and expect to understand anything, lmao

[floral nacelle]

And also putting enough titan blood into the weapon

[scarlet sluice]

and how do I find out to which people I need to talk?

if some of the aspects regard them should I talk to them?

[harsh leaf]

Just go to the wiki

[floral nacelle]

You can guess who you need to talk to based on other aspects of the weapon or type of weapon

[harsh leaf]

Or the spoiler channel if you want the answers

[scarlet sluice]

eh...The Wiki is a dangerous place

[floral nacelle]

If you want speciifcs, yes, go to the wiki

[scarlet sluice]

hmm ah well

[harsh leaf]

You're literally "googling" stuff here. What are you afraid of? Having your question answered?

[ancient junco]

There are videos about it

In YouTube

[scarlet sluice]

having answers to questions I didn't want to be to be answered outside of the game

[harsh leaf]

But..... you're already asking outside of the game

[ancient junco]

Just keep playing upgrade your weapons speak with people and it will happen

[scarlet sluice]

about questions I do want awnsered

[ancient junco]

If you wish to know which people search it

[harsh leaf]

Look, if you're very new to the game, dont even worry about secret aspects, or endings, or whatever.

Just play the game

It does a good enough job of guiding the player

[scarlet sluice]

okie

[harsh leaf]

You cant miss content, dont worry

[scarlet sluice]

ah that's a relief

[spark yew]

how important is upgrading weapons ? i seldom get the blood for it, and it pisses me off to get darkness for a difficult boss, even if it's not my first time beating them

should i try clearing each boss with every weapon, and pour all the giant's blood into one weapon ?

[fallen canyon]

alternate aspects are usually pretty good

||and putting 5 blood into a weapon lets you unlock a hidden aspect||
||start with spear||

[spark yew]

should i read that ?

[fallen canyon]

minor spoiler

[spark yew]

about what ?

[fallen canyon]

weapon aspects

[spark yew]

ok that's fine

nice

but i like the rail

[pastel cipher]

@fallen canyon ||4th spear has a differant unlock conditions from the rest||

[spark yew]

||why spear||

[pastel cipher]

||you need to unlock it first to unlock the others||

[spark yew]

oh well i got the game 24h ago but i'm well past all that

[pastel cipher]

The unlock conditions are pinned in #h1-story-discussion

[fallen canyon]

well past all what?

[spark yew]

i have all weapons and started farming aspects, i'm just confused as to why it's so slow to get the titan blood

[full depot]

If I take off lucky tooth without triggering it do I lose it's revive or will it stick till I die

[fallen canyon]

after your first clear its easier

[spark yew]

|| does anyone spend 1200 on the titan blood in front of cerberus ?||

[fallen canyon]

yes

we all do

[spark yew]

that's insane

[fallen canyon]

theres only 3 ways to get titan blood

4

trading

||styx||

the list

[spark yew]

i survive off of the hourglass and temporary buffs

[fallen canyon]

and after first clear you get more

[spark yew]

but you can get it from bosses too

or is that limited ?

because i believe i've gotten some extra with the same weapon as a boss reward

[fallen canyon]

you cant get more from bosses until after your first clear

[spark yew]

damn i was so close

i guess i just don't know if i'm stuck because of skill or because of stats

[fallen canyon]

just keep upgrading the mirror and youll get better

its skill

but you can subsidize skill with mirror

[spark yew]

ok so i made it || all the way to the second phase of hades || by using the rail with insane amounts of special damage

like one special did 650 damage

[fallen canyon]

noice

[spark yew]

but i don't feel like that's a viable way to play

it feels super cheesy

[fallen canyon]

all ways are viable

[spark yew]

but i literally can't see how to beat bosses with melee weapons

[fallen canyon]

ive been playing for like 100 hours

and everything i thought was terrible ive found works great

[spark yew]

unless you get only one or two hits at a time ?

[fallen canyon]

hit a couple times and dash is usually what you do

[pastel cipher]

Understanding enemy attack patterns helps a bunch

[fallen canyon]

^

[spark yew]

hmm

usually i'd agree but the furies are insane

[fallen canyon]

shield is usually a good one for a first clear

furies get really easy

except for alecto

alecto is always a bit annoying

[spark yew]

|| meg yes but alecto and finally tisiphone is by far the worst for me ||

[fallen canyon]

tis just needs better dodging

or an athena boon

[spark yew]

it's difficult to kite with rail when there's no room

[fallen canyon]

try shield

[spark yew]

ok

[fallen canyon]

shield usually works well for a first clear

[spark yew]

also i'm unsure about projectile cancelling

you don't need reflect for that, right ?

[fallen canyon]

?

[spark yew]

can a sword slice the projectiles ?

[fallen canyon]

yea

[spark yew]

because rail can cancel

[fallen canyon]

shield can straight up block

[pastel cipher]

Almost every aspect can destroy incoming projectiles

[spark yew]

because i'm still fresh off of Wizard of Legends and in that rogue like you need specific items to be able to stop projectiles

and dashes aren't invincible

[pastel cipher]

||4th rail|| is the only exception

[spark yew]

so i'm very scared in hades

[fallen canyon]

ah

[pastel cipher]

Blank dashes do have i frames

[fallen canyon]

hades is very much about dashing

[spark yew]

also is it possible to barrier slam in asphodel ?

[fallen canyon]

ye

[spark yew]

yes spear is my second favorite

but rail has gotten me the farthest and i put most of my blood in it

i liked hestia at first but now i have zag and i try to kite everything

ok i'll force myself to use melee in order to train my dashing

i need to feel comfortable

[fallen canyon]

i got my first clear with sword

and a really good cast

[spark yew]

i also have a bad habit to try to finish bosses asap, is that bad ?

is it better to play safe and flawlessly ?

[fallen canyon]

ares cast with artimis duo is amazing

[pastel cipher]

If you don't know their attack patterns better off playing safe

[spark yew]

so are the boss fights just supposed to last 5 to 10 minutes or something ?

also what's the stategy with chaos ? good or bad ?

good early, bad later ?

but with the keepsake

[pastel cipher]

Chaos is generally great any time, except the room before a boss fight

(in most cases)

[fallen canyon]

chaos is good if you can beat the floor

[spark yew]

also how do you keep track of rooms ? i feel like it's always the same number between shops and fountains, but is there a display ?

[pastel cipher]

If you get the room rewards hidden for 5 rooms before a boss

It's almost free

[fallen canyon]

dont risk a chaos boon in elysium tho

[heady comet]

Tartarus: 12
Asphodel: 6
Elysium: 8

before final shop

[fallen canyon]

ive never kept track of rooms

[heady comet]

first empty room counts, shops count, chaos wells (as long as they arent just before final shop) counts

[pastel cipher]

Depends on how confident you are in your build

[fallen canyon]

for a beginner

dont risk it in elysium

[spark yew]

ok

ty i think i have enough to last me a bit

thanks for the advice

[pastel cipher]

No worries

[leaden whale]

im so sad that you can't go into a chaos portal if it'll kill you

id spend a DD for a chaos boon any day

[pastel cipher]

I could see that being cheesed with SD

[heady comet]

[pastel cipher]

Get to low hp, use your SD on a chaos room to heal and get the SD back in the chaos room

[leaden whale]

essentially just abused ice beams with the booms which upgraded it. Also used the boon which freezes the foe which damages me so constant damage
