not really an issue. just maybe I was missing something. plus all my game is error and try so
Hydra is pretty straightforward. A good time to practice watching for telegraphed attacks.
Is there anyway to make Orpheus sing songs that I want him to sing?
Alas, mournful Orpheus sings only as his fancy strikes him
||am I able to have 2 romances? Like can I get meg AND Thanatos||
|| I have a friend who plays hades and yes you can romance all the characters that can be romanced||
whats with the music tab under rennovations? can't seem to open it up even though ive already gotten the games true ending
||Do you have orpheus||? @fluid slate
maxed him out
||i am in the middle of his lesson thing and dont know how to continue it||
when does the hades story get going?
im at run 25 and reached minotaur and thesus and the story seems to not really be going anywhere
And you need to keep feeding nectar to keep it going as well
Any advice for the final boss fight? I keep losing badly there after easily doing the rest.
what is hard for you in that fight? dodging in time, boss-anxiety, damage?
i thought changing keepsakes after tartarus spawns that god
isnt that how it works
i switched from posidon to zues and it didnt spawn a zues boon
sometimes it doesn't work immediately
it just means that the next god boon spawned will be that god
this is so stupid
im been trying to get his call boon to get me the other boon
but it isnt showing up
and i got his legendary boon before it too lol
trying to get rip current
you need his call for that
but i aint getting it LOL
and i got his legendary boon before it :/
Who are you talking about Posseidon?
had the same happening with artemis call once
Yeah I know what you talking about it was the last common boon I had to get took me some time
first it was about zeus now poseidon?
I finished most of legendaries before this
Does zeus have a boon for his call? I don't think so
every god (but hermes) has a call
Not a call
the prophecies are kinda annoying
Posseiodon has a boon for your call
So you need to get his call and then there's a chance you'll get that
the knockaway extras? sea storm which got nerfed last patch?
I finished prophecies and I'm sad their rewards were so good u want more :((
ah that
im only getting it becauise its the last one i need for the prophecy
usually if you exhaust the boon pool fast enough you should get it by middle elysium
what does that mean
also wouldnt that be too late?
cuz if i get his call in elysium i wont have any chance left
except for styx
Yup that's how I got it I got so many booms from posseidon he had no more boons
thats not what i mean
please explain T_T
No she meant start getting a lot posseidon boons early
i mean that if you got your main boon places full and exhausted some of his tier 2 boons you will usually get the boon by middle elysium even if you got the call at the start of elysium
you dont need to just get poseidon boons
but if you are trying for specific boons for one god try not to force any more gods for your boon/god pool
Equip his keepsake early so you start off with posseidon if you have unlocked the last talent of your mirror take the one that switches rooms boon rooms, hammers, hearts and money are all in the same pool so try changing the rooms and get as many Posseidons as you can
poseidon has 17 boons, 5 of which are main attack boons, 2 are legendary, 5 are tier 2 and 1 can come multiple times
all 5 tier 2 boons require poseidon's call so getting unlucky with the tier 2 rng is pretty common
Don't try changing darkness gems nectar or key rooms they are a different pool
ah shi
i need mre keys
i maxed the one that lets me reroll boon options
I DONT HAVE ANY RESOURCES
Oh...
ill do it next run
how lucky that you are on a poseidon boon run since he also offers chamber rewards and consumeables :D
Well you can do it without that just equip his keepsake join as many posseidon rooms as you can
?
nvm
thats a fair point im gonna restart
and equip his boon
for the resources too
lol
and go for chaos if you want to really get the resources up since he also offers higher chamber rewards
but thats just a minor thing
If you don't have chaos use the dice that rerolls boons
2k darkness is beautiful
well the final boss does give you 250 darkness if you beat him once on that level already
Yeah I know I can farm it
and sunken treasure, the poseidon boon, can give up to 220 darkness
But I prefer doing more ||heat|| for now
whats a good weapon for cast builds
using the spear is nice but i have to wait for so longin boss fights
Aspect of Posseidon aspect of Hera aspect of ||beowulf||
@subtle granite itโs dodging but since you mentioned it boss anxiety is a big factor? Taking huge damage chunks from that swing that takes up half the screen is a problem.
achilles spear gives the biggest cast damage bonus; hera and hidden shield nicely integrate casts
Yes but maxing posseidon is your best choice since it offers cast damage and spamming it again and again
try going for athena/aphrodite boons to make him weaker/you less deceptable to damage; also dont forget that only dashes and not dash attacks give i-frames
And it has a simple patern throw casts get them out with special and repeat
Also use artemis and try getting hermes's help for casts builds
if you like shield the most you can easily dodge the swings with the charge-up of bull rush and achilles spear can help you zoom out of there faster
i need moe blood shoot
also try forcing him to loop those two stones in the arena that can make his swing travel less ground
hope any of this helps!
You can try without upgrading but they are a lot better with the upgrades
for boss anxiety: imagine that it isnt the end boss but just a really big asterius mini boss fight
I don't remember what ||beowulf's|| upgrade does
can you spoiler the name yato?
Yes sry
this is the wrong channel to call it by the name
it's aright i also get the channels mixed up sometimes lol
Thx for telling me
sure thing :)
YESSS I GOT HIS CALLL
@subtle granite thanks!
I finally killed the final boss ๐ณ
nice job!
im still stuck lol
i can comfortably get to elysium , but styx is tricky for me
Learning to iframe out the big sweep is very worth it
It makes that fight so much easier
Hooray!
I think that's one of the best boons ever.
||Charm is a status effect which allows enemies to run away from you and damage other enemies. With the legendary boon active, all your attacks that inflict Weak has a 15% chance to Charm enemies. It's like Aphrodite's call but with only 15% chance for each Weak attributed attack.||
I havent been able to figure it out yet, does ||charm|| work on bosses?
It does
Just very briefly it seems
Though the effect wears off very quickly
Long enough to make them stop what they're doing and turn the other way though
yoo i found the singer girl in asphodel
Am I missing something or is unshakeable mettle just really underwhelming
Why underwhelming?
||She has a beautiful voice doesn't she? ๐ ||
Ashley Barret has the prettiest voice in any video game I've found
Quick question, what exactly is the difference between fated authority and fated persuasion?
its generally a good recommendation, yes, but do be especially careful in asphodel with bone rakers
authority lets you reroll door rewards before you enter a chamber, persuasion lets you reroll boon/shop options
ahh kk
also a thing to note on authority, you cant reroll a blue laurel door into a gold laurel door, and vice versa
so if you have doors with, say, darkness and a key, you cant reroll either of those into boons or anything
what ||heat level|| are you going for?
||Extreme Measures is good since it only changes bosses||
isn't this a subject for another chat? (sry if im wrong I dont know 100%)
Jus climbing @leaden whale slowly adding it up.
||Tight deadline 1 to 2 is free if you can get runs under the time usually||
||Tight Deadline is also good because it adds on the extra time to the next floor so if you finish one quickly you have extra for the next||
@phoenix @vestal reef the ||pact of punishment || is considered spoilers in this channel, please use spoiler tags 
@silk swift @vivid patio
In regards to pushing ||Heat, FO2 is also good to get used to early if you ever want to push into higher heats||
not even paying attention to where i am, ban me aggy ๐
Im not sure I would recommend ||BP2||, it can lead to bad combos
It's not called the ||pact of rainbows and unicorns||. But tbf, I think you have to get used to if you wanna up the temp.
@silk swift please spoiler tag those ||Pact abbreviations in the earlier message|| they are spoilers in this channel 
I was just about to but I noticed you removed it
||Can anyone explain to me or atleast tell me what makes the guan yu aspect even worth using? The attacks seem slow with a massive hp decrease. I have only tried it once but I cant see it being good compared to other aspects.||
||big damage, healing||
high risk, high ish reward
It heals?
||the special is more a like bow attack, you don't need to call it back||
||spin attack heals you||
Just curious. Do all boons have a heroic rarity? Not just the Attack, Special, Cast and Call boons?
I had a heroic side hustle once so I expect yes
Heroic killing freeze is 17% slow and 70 dps btw
Yes, every non legendary, duo and chaos boon should have a heroic rarity of it, which you'll very rarely see because heroic boons are quite rare (in that they'll only ever be offered as core boon exchanges, get upgraded by a certain npc (it's random) or a specific ||demeter|| boon)
so wouldn't a game like Hades be proned to runs being kinda ruined because of some bad luck?
That's rogue-likes for you
i've never felt like one of my runs was ruined due to bad luck, personally--it seems to be set up so that you always get stuff that's at least functional, it's not like in binding of isaac where you might end up with a build where you're just firing explosive shots directly at your own face. and even in a worst case scenario where you don't get offered any of the boons you were hoping for and all the ones you get are common, you can still carry with skill once you learn the enemy patterns and get comfortable with the controls, tracking the visuals, etc
you could probably get yourself in a bad position by deliberately picking stuff that goes badly with your other stuff though
Which is kind of inevitable when you don't know the interactions
true! but that's not bad luck but inexperience at work, which i think is an important distinction re: game design
True
not that roguelikes where you can get rekt by pure rng are badly designed, it's just a different style of roguelike, but i do like that you can generally rely on being able to cobble together something workable
thats a big rhing I need to get better at i think
i"ve kinda pieced together what uogrades and boons are independently decent for my playstyle
but actual builds and synergies are another matter
you'll get a sense of what works well together with practice--want a couple of broad tips?
sure, couldnt hurt
Main thing is learning to time your dodge, since you're completely invulnerable while using it.
The exception being if you attack, the moment you hit attack during a dash you lose that invulnerability
yup xD
the most useful build thing i've realized is that chain lightning or status effects that stack, like hangover, go really well with fast attacks like the fists or rail
so much of the random chip dmg i've been taking
and ares, aphrodite, and zeus all stack really well with themselves, like they have a lot of boons that make their core boons even better, so if you get one of them early on it's good to prioritize getting more from the same god
Poseidon also stacks well with himself
Poseidon too
don't think so?
then also if you have the mirror talent that gives extra damage vs enemies with two debuffs, that makes a huge difference and it's good to prioritize getting the ability to apply two debuffs ASAP
er, statuses. whatever the term is
status is the technical term, but they're basically debuffs
Hey guys what you think of dusa?
I personally don't care so much for that. Much more important is the ability to reroll boons.
she's pretty cool 
i wasn't especially fond of her at first because she reminded me of the qualities i most dislike in myself, but she really grew on me
I love dusa so much she's adorable
she's a very cute floating gorgon head
what does the skull sign on doors mean?
i cant post images here but it sometimes appears
a skull sign with an upwards red arrow of sorts
tyvm!
Sure thing ^.^
stupid question but where's Atermis brother in this game?
Apollo is not in the game
awwww
I can link a dev explanation if you want
do these give better rewards too?
ye
the elite badged rooms
yes pls
good to know
would you say i should prioritise them then
or does that depoend on multiple factors
thank u
it depends on what your goal is for that run--whether you care more about getting as far as possible, or about farming resources to upgrade stuff between runs
oh you mean regular vs the skull rooms
single skulls are harder and have better rewards (generally double whatever you'd normally get, or higher rarity boons). Minibosses always have boons, and they're almost always higher rarity
i always prioritize skull rooms unless i'm like 80% sure i'll die in them personally
gotcha
it might not be a good idea if you're sitting at like 4 health but generally getting the better rewards is advantageous and snowballs
First clear after 32 escape tries!!!!! oh god this feel soo good...๐
when something says deals extra attack damage
by attack it means everything right
special attack dash attack etc
i think is only the "normal" attack
Attack refers specifically to actions caused by the "Attack" button
Special is Special, Attack is Attack, Cast is Cast
if something affects special attack and cast it will list all the things in the description
if it's everything it's usually "any damage"
alright
like Pressure Points
thanks guys
whats an infernal gate room
oops
sorry bot 
anyway is that when hades tells you to heck iff
*off
and theres a timer
Dont worry about Erebus gates until after you beat the game
no it's not erebus gate
the one that you have to survive for 45 seconds
it's not really important as it doesnt even spawn in most endgame situations
He said "infernal gate", so I assumed he saw the Contractor item for Erebus gates
Then yes, it's what I said still
Dont worry about those
Which buff?
What do you mean "proc"? That perk is always active
Over a run, you'll get more of those rooms than if you didnt have it
There is no visual effect when it "works"
which boons is best for ||aspect of nemesis|| for stygius
what does aim for heart rend means?
heart rend is a duo boon between artemis and aphrodite
oh k
it's really good on that aspect
ok thanks mate
hey, any advice on Tisiphone??
kill her
Spam cast
dont die
kill her fast
Yeah
okay, I didnโt expect her to be that easy to kill
shild is good ||aspect of chaos is prob best one||
because u can block all damage
||but aspect of eris / nemesis / achilys / chiron are also good||
Hello, fellow players. Just beat Meg and got me into a new area. If I die here, I have to escape from the beginning?
Yes
yes
anyplace anytime if you die you need to go all the way again no checkpoints
welcome to the world of roguelikes
yeah be glad its a rogulite because if it was an actual roguelike you wouldn't even have permanent upgrades
Thank you for clarification. I am ready to suffer, this game is too fun=)
Thaaanks=)
not sure if this is the right place for this question but: true/false - ||you beat all of the bosses on a given weapon before raising the heat to maximize your rewards? I just got my first full clear with the sword, which opened up pact of punishment, but I should still get a full clear with the other weapons without increasing the heat right? i.e. only bump up the heat on sword runs for now||?
Yes
hmm is the whole thing a spoiler? i'll edit it to hide them i'm just not sure which part lol
anything that happens after the last boss is considered a spoiler
How do you make stuff a spoiler? Like black it out
|| like this ||
Ty ||smellyweasel||
kill asterius first, while you get him down your call should go up, use the ultimate call for theseus after he gets to 50% to pop him
getting asterius down is pretty easy since oyu can bait him to go to one direction, dash through him and backstab him
I managed to kill Asterius, but I used up like 2 death defiances. I almost got thesus util his second stage when he illed me
What weapon should I buy with Titan blood
who ususally damages you the most?
whats your favorite weapon so far?
The minotaur damges me the most
My favorite weapon?
Shield, Spear and Bow
Probably a tie between Shield and Spear
achilles spear then
try to get used to asterius' moves, he is extremely easy to dodge since he always barrels straight to the front and forgets to ever turn around
when he lunges dach closer to him and even his second stage projectiles wont hit you
what about hades spear
hades spear is good but achilles helps dodging asterius
ok i think ill thest achilles out
have fun! if you need any help, we're all happy to help c:
thanks
Am I correct that Aphro Call does nothing vs final boss? (Yes vs adds)
her ultimate calls decimate one of his inbetween stages if you time it right
If you charge Aphro call to full it just does damage instead.
i have 149 coins and my next encounter is the shop. pain.
although charm has reduced duration on bosses, it interrupts attacks
which is plenty useful by itself
do you have golden vases unlocked? 
:0 Onyx is purple and not yellow 
If there are no other targets, will Hunterโs Mark proc on the original target
onyx is black ๐ค
For example if you crit a boss when no one else is in the fight
i do, none in the room unfortunately
;-; it was worth a prayer
unlock weapons, unlock mirror, trade, get dices, buy the keys theme, pay the resource manager........
then go for the dice upgrade from the house contractor
so that if you get keys as next chamber reward forced it's still very worth it
do boons that increase attack damage also buff dash strike?
Pretty sure yes
also. is there a way of knowing which weapons have killed which bosses? for the drops
other than note taking like the game suggested because its too late for that
No, Hunters Mark will not proc if there's only one target
you can trigger it on the end boss tho via fighting his projectiles
I hate the Bow lol.
Gods.
Canโt beat final boss with 4 lives bc bow is bad bad.
Do I have to tell you it's not the bow's fault or
are you dash striking with it
Lol Phoenix. ๐
Not dash striking. Is that the trick?
Dash strike gets benefits from Attack boon someone said?
So you could get like dash strike plus dmg and attack boon plus dmg?
Dumb question: do you dash and tap left click? Or like dash and try to charge as much as possible while dashing?
Hold left click, dash, release? Does that work?
PC?
The bow is not bad by any means
i just realized why i didn't like the shield
ive been using it like the sword
barely blocking... with a shield
i used to be like that. actually got to the last boss without knowing i could block
@livid ledge yes PC
bow dash attack is just a regular attack that charges faster
My first clear was with shield. I hated how it played from the first room. But boon by boon it got better. Dash-attack/deflect/knockback all over the room, nothing could get me.
I have also found that you should never, under any circumstances, ever abandon a run just because you think it started too badly. Sometimes all it takes is the right boon at the very end and you've got yourself a clear.
yeah the game gives you ample room to improve your build
being able to sell errant boons between floors and at random as your build forms in order to have extra cash for Charon and such is a huge blessing
i always wonder about Pom vs Boons though
and doing that mental calculus of "do i want to power up my existing stuff for more damage or get some new hotness"
and at what point do you switch over
Poms have diminishing returns so i always lean toward Boons
after the first two Pom buffs or so they get a lot less good
buffs on the same skill that is
For example, I had the gun, and it started horribly. I was out of death defied way too early, like before the end of ||Asphodel||. I was stuck with a weird chain lightning build. But I happened to find ||Patroclus and got full reload of DD|| and that got me through ||Styx||. But in one of the ||Satyr rooms in Styx|| I was able to purchase ONE more DD from shop and had accumulated enough money to buy the ||Zeus/Artemis Duo Boon: Lightning rod|| , which I only got because I hadn't seen it before, so I needed the unlock. And that was a very long, but successful ||Shooting my spells at nobody just so the bloodstones would drop and kiting Hades all around them|| clear
Boons with small-but-rapid attacks like Hangover or Blade Rifts are always good with Poms tho since they already start with low gains from the Pom
what is a good secondary boon for the aspect of Chairon?
Poseidon and Dionysus are both good
will it stack Dio to 5?
if you have Chiron ranked up, yes, otherwise it will take more than one use of your special
gotcha
Dio on chiron sounds bad, use the old lady instead
Demeter is also good, yes--Dio is good because of how quickly you can stack him
Yea but you're losing dps cause dio doesn't actually do as much damage as you could be doing with other options
Imo, it lets you fire once on an enemy and then ignore them, so it's definitely better for larger groups than bosses
It doesn't even have a percentage mult or anything
Chiron special base damage isn't that high anyway though xD
Sure but like you're easily out damaging that just by taking ares
Cause both aren't applying any modifiers and ares doom damage is going to be higher than what 5 stacks of hangover will do
true--I also tend to stick to Pos or Dem anyway, so I could be misremembering how effective Dio was
Yea it's something I recently realized you don't want dio on the fastest weapons cause you're too fast to use it effectively
How do I get more ||titan's blood||? I got some from each weapon after ||beating Meg|| but I can't seem to get any more
Win the game once for another method
Or just trade for it at the broker or save up for it at ||Styx||
thanks!
still a proper dio build is prolly one of the best options on chiron with ps
on rail zeus ist just way better tho ofc
How
what "how"?
How is dio build actually good on chiron
lol u kidding me
You're hitting like 7 arrows for free wouldn't you want them to do anything
with aphro duo you get ur stacks up in one go
and the stacks get used p fast
especially if u run ares duo
its not about infinitly stacking, more about keeping stacks up
also priviliged status plays a key part ofc
arrows itself are low dmg, hangover provides a good source of continous damage
||Just got to Hades for the first time||
I mean sure if we're rolling two duos then I guess it's good enough
its prolly the best with crit build
But also like if you're rolling duos don't you have a better time using like Artemis on special
Cause you know it still does better even without the duo
Ofc dio works if you roll everything perfect
|| final boss' name is a spoiler in this channel, please edit your message with spoiler tags ||
But like going for dio in general just seems bad
only thing you really need is another curse and ps
No worries 
Like if I was hoping on getting dire misfortune at some point I'd even go for ares, but I feel like that's too much reliance of rng
the duos, same as for artemis, just make it leagues better
Congrats, btw! ( @ Saturn)
more like 25
I mean getting status on anyone but Artemis isn't hard
Yes I think the average is easily high 20s
Is the story gonna pick up soon?
how do i know dio build is good on chiron? 200+ hours of playtime lol
Sure it works but like there are better safer option to make chiron work is what I mean
(this discussion might be better suited for #h1-builds-and-combat )
Oh man my game gltiched after final boss and I'm back at weapon selection, yay
well thats too late now xD
as in, you just lost the run progress?
Yep
check the end of #h1-tech-fixes , you can probably recover it
just don't leave the courtyard before you close the game
Alright lemme try, thanks
ye!
It worked! Just gotta do final boss again
great! Best of luck 
u'll do it ez
heyo, bought the game during the steam sale and i had a lot of fun so far. i was wondering if there are specific combos that you guys use for the different weapons (like i had a lot of success with Nemesis blade: Special - Dash Strike in and out)
well yeah there are builds
important specification
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2233472883 this is from the pinned files ๐
so if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask @sinful garnet
eh i actually have a build sheet lol
tyty will take a look at what @fresh birch posted โค๏ธ
basically a basic overview
just ask for builds for an aspect, people will post xD
^
Nemesis: artemis attack, athena flourish,ย Aphro cast, dio call, heart rend, splitting headache (art+dio), deadly reversal(athena+art), double edge hammer
Here's one for nemesis f.e.
This one's free of charge xD
I understand that you probably want to use your attacks/special/casts based on what boons and aspects you have, I'm just wondering if there are things like animation cancelling or things like that. Like with Nemesis blade: do you Special -> Attack -> Dash Attack in -> Attack -> Dash attack out or would you Special -> Dash Attack in -> Dash attack out? Can you fit so much in 3sec?
there are certain tricks for weapons yeah
you cant animation cancel really, as far as i know, but there are some tricks for some weapons
you can cancel some animations
the sword's special, the shield's bull rush landing animation
f.e. on swor you can dash immediatly after special and itll skip the animation and move you instead
with regular sword that usually works for one dash length
most animations are canceled using dashes
with secret sword aspect for two dash lengths
mostly with dashes, but idk if that really counts as animation cancelling
with sword it definitely counts
Ohhh ty vm. Thats really good to know
i guesssssss
f.e. if you hold attack on fists n dash you also reset the cooldown after 5 hits
so you skip the cooldown in between
but u sacrifice i frames
yeah
its more like a dash attack
same with the sword special dash
that is something though that the game doesnt really advertise btw bobby
you only get i frames in your dash if you do NOT dash attack
can i read up on the different techs anywhere or would you recommend watching like speedruns/stuff like that on yt?
speedruns can be good to learn good builds
well more accurate would be: you ,lose your i frames as soon as you dash attack
just ask players
i think the most important thing is to learn good builds
thats what the discord is for lol
the game is fairly simple though
like it seems like a lot of complexity
and it can be
but once you get a hang of it, it really seems quite simple
and not in a bad way
one last question: would you recommend spending my first 8 titan blood more focused on one/two aspects or would you recommend that i spread it out to try different thing to see what i like the most?
at the beginning it doesnt really matter imo
technically you can unlock and level an aspect in the courtyard, go on a run and guve up
thatll reset to your last save before the run
as long as you dont leave to your room after spending titan blood it wont be permanent if you give up mid run
so you can technically try out stuff that way
i'd recommend unlocking everything before you start upgrading
but i like to mix it up every run
yep
yo what is the keepsake beneath Athena?
can u send a pic lol
aight imma just boot up my game sec
|| Patroclus ||
elysium npc
talk
Someone good with bow dash strike on PC, do you check the box for โdash towards mouse cursorโ
I find it very hard to actually aim
I do, most others dont
How do you make the last spear aspect work
Aphro special + charged skewer. Or a fast-hitting attack (Zeus works) + quick spin
Do I have to get it to max level before using it like chiron or is it usable at lv1
usable, though difficult
a good alternative is artemis special + aphro basic + heartrend + special hammers - you deal 1k hits on a massive hitbox every 2 seconds
Oh whoops. Do you only get ||Heat rank|| bonuses once? Or once per weapon?
Accidentally did ||Heat 1|| twice I think
once per weapon per rank
first of all each weapon is different dosent matter for other weapons each heat rank has a bounty
So like, ||you can earn rewards with every weapon on heat 1, and then every weapon on heat 2, etc||
Oh okay. Maybe I just did this rank with this weapon already and forgot lol
It'll always say ||"New Bounties Available!" if you haven't unlocked all the rewards for that weapon at that rank||
you can see on the bottom left of the challenge window when you are selecting the heat modifiers where you are with the current weapon
oh and if you lose at any point going for a bounty then whatever heat rank you'll do next with the same weapon the bounties of the bosses you have won in the run you lost will become darkness until you escape
Ohh thatโs probably whatโs happening
Yeah no idea what weapon I used last attempt
well the one that has some bounties checked I guess? if you lose with 1 weapon the rest keep their bounties
I can't find a good synergy for the last bow aspect
||Like by the time I charge the primary the shared suffering is almost over||
That... doesn't sound right. The debuff lasts quite a long time.
is it maybe the ||Rama|| upgrade? im not sure what its upgrade
Upgrade is %, debuff is always 7s
I mean yea but like you have to charge your shot and line it up and whatnot, like it doesnt do that much damage at all
I was using aphrodite on atk too
very
it's either that or replenish one use of death defiance and get more heal
I dont understand how it works
so every 20 seconds?
what happens
not quite
you have a one-hit shield
after you lose it, you get it back in 20 seconds
it adds up 
nice
yea I got that
yeet
but I kinda like having a lot of death defiance too lol
refreshing a DD is definitely good, no argument
yeah
if you were at 0, or only 1, I'd say probably refresh
yep
but otherwise, the legendary is definitely better
It's sad that there can't be polls inside of discord :c I would've made a poll where I would've asked who people have gifted the most nectar :D For me it's certainly Dusa
if you have 2 I'd take protection
plus you do have other ways to replenish it via ||Patty|| or the well
at this point, pretty much everyone lol :P but I don't exactly count as a new player
I can say, Artemis was the first person I maxed out
Very fine choice mate :D
Don't tell me what happends if happends but does something happen after you max out the hearts?
||rn I'm at 2 heat, one DD and lucky tooth, in elysium, running aspect chiron bow, got the demeter special||
yup ^.^
I've read about stuff that happens on maxing out hearts
|| heat is technically a spoiler in this channel, if you could edit your message with spoiler tags ^.^ ||
Aight :D I'm looking forward to it
||I wanna max out meg||
So I have Poseidon Special on Sword that knocks away. And I took Hammer special that triggers 2 hits but no longer knocks away
So I lost the knock back, BUT will rupture still work? Lol
you should still get the knockback from poseidon, you just won't get the builtin knockback from the special
Oh that would be awesome. Iโll have to pay attention
Am one shotting all the things right now lol
That was how I hoped it worked
lol I didnโt know I can get more than one death defiance
just kept on using Stubborn Defiance
Iโm like 34 runs without beating the last boss and thatโs the stuff thatโs contributing to it
shouldโve studied the mirror more carefully and rerolled earlier
really got into a plateau for a while but redoing the mirror should help
Yeah, and taking Acorn if you haven't
It's really good Elysium onward, especially starting out
unlock all keepsakes asap
Yeah I have every keepsake except the last
Leveling acorn. Almost at 3 star
Better than Skelly? Did someone do the math?
against final boss acorn on average soaks significantly more damage than you get from skelly's tooth
max rank skelly is 100 extra hp, effectively
people usually tend to take acorn into the ||EM3|| Theseus fight
My first win wasnโt until run 48/50โor something
Iโm not like amazing or anything
that's pretty good going mate 
Got a lucky run I think ha ๐
I think Iโve seen the last bossโ ||laser|| phase about 4 times
always felt like I was almost there. Dunno thereโs more phases after that (and please donโt spoil me)
Boss has ||haha got cha|| phases
not clicking that lol
Damn he smart
How fast do I have to clear an encounter for lambent plume to work?
the timer is different for each encounter
When using Eris gun, I have to absorb the specials blast for increased damage or the opponent?
you
i think i have to go back to this channel because i keep dying more easily now after the 10 runs
you can see the timer counting down on its icon to the bottom left
There's also an audio cue when it runs out
phew. 30 runs in. finally a clear. i suck lol. the game on the other hand is stellar.
lol at 36 runs I snapped and turned on god mode
aaahhh noooo don't :X i mean, you do you, but won't you ruin the experience?
I just couldnโt handle the anger anymore lmaoo
god mode doesnt ruin the experience, it just gives 20% damage reduction, which increases by 2% every time you die and caps at 80%
Plus I cared more about the plot and the characters, not getting my ass kicked by a bone hydra and Theseus for eternity
its there for anyone who needs it, for any reason
i guess... i spent my early childhood not being able to clear mario bros 1. it's not furstrating to try something again for me. especially this game, which handles failed runs, really, really organically.
Yeah! But after 36 fails I was finally like โnaw, Iโm too bad at this game, I just want to have funโ
flicks god mode on
well ok ok i thought you meant godmode in the real sense of the term. i didnt even know the game had, a god mode.
O H
by real, i mean, take no damage, via ... i dunno like cheatengine or something
No no
like alma said. --
where's the option?? i dont wanna turn IT on but it might be in a place where there are other options -
that i didnt see
settings
that somehow makes sense.
Lol
what's yall's favorite arms?
Varatha
Really enjoy the bow with Chiron
Those fast hits are so pleasing to see
Waatatatatatata
Yeahhhh
Trying to get Ares with doom stacks
the spear is varatha isnt it.
Yeah
i tried the [censored] aspect for the spear. it left me "meh"
spear gives me this weird directional issue where I canโt turn around sometimes
Weird
Makes me mad
While charging?
Oof
Not even
Oh, just in general
it's just practice tho i guess.
Secret spear is one of the most difficult aspects for most prolly
Yeah
Omg wait
strangely enough i had no love for the gun but it's with it that i got my first clear.
It could be course your locked in the attack animation
How do you even unlock the secret aspects?
censor your replies please ๐
There's a pinned comment in #h1-story-discussion
@coral cloud you talking to me??
Oof
Saying secret aspect is not a spoiler
It's like saying redacted for ||hades||
@hot yoke yeah i didnt want to have spoilers on how to unlock stuff. i wasnt talking to YOU i was talking to people who might answer you. chill ๐
Speaking of chill, anyone try a chill Demeter build?
P decent on chiron
Does the 10 stack explosion feel good on a run?
I tend to avoid ||Demeter||
For the legendary
I donโt know why
Also her name is a spoiler
Oop
Happens lol
Is there a way to delete
Her duo with Athena is super op
Eh
well im gonna jump in the game. hey you have a good one. ๐
Don't insult a weapon
Keep enemies at the edge of you range
You too m8
I canโt even clear Meg half the time, let alone bone hydra
Gun has insane auto aim
And use the special while you reload
with hte gun once i had muti-bomb special, it became quite op. with zeus's chain lightning on attack. i liked that.
Gun feels so clunky and awkward until you get the Daedalus hammers
I wish there was a way to get the unlimited ammo upgrade guaranteed - thatโs the only way I can deal with it
Multi rocket special tho lmao
Until you get zeus attack
So op
Gun has this mechanism I just don't feel good with. The whole being locked into place while shooting
oh hell yeah on reload. i actually set it to a paddle on the XB1 elite2. r3 was a bith to use
You can dash, but it still feels stilted
Try it with auto aim
Also you can dash while holding down fire
Zag needs an uzi
And you'll keep firing
dual wield hammer
And having to remember to reload on top of whatever else you have to remember to do like cast or call 
But it sacrifices I frames
Yeah but i get used to the stiltyness
It's all about getting used to it
Muscle memory
You auto reload
ok - poof.
If you do dash-attacks with the gun, it'll reload
Wait for real?
Yeah
Helped me a lot before I realized I could rebind the reload button
I didnโt notice that
Oof
I got the hidden aspect quest done and I never touched the gun again lol
Oh I might have to try that
Eris is actually one of, it not the strongest aspects
Bow all the way
ngl, You can prob do without the reload button if you're not running the 3rd aspect
Even post nerf afaik
Just dash-attack
Switching left bumper and r3? Smart
My favorite weapons is every weapon
I wish that was me
If you but I'm more play time it will be
Took me bout 150 hrs to like all of em
It just comes with experience
Ah, ok. Iโm only like 10 in
I like spear if I get the extra long reach or just spam the special
But once someone taught me that you can dash to activate spin and retain I frames that did a lot
Before I just played achilles with casts builds to cheat my spear clears
Nothing wrong with some cast builds
Though I feel like they rely a lot more on duo boons than others
other builds*
Well most builds actually have a core duo boon
Sea storm for zeus, heart rend for crit, merciful end for merciful end
Curse of longing for dio
Well tbf to a lesser extent with dio
Didnt make the connection between Dionysus and โdioโ so my brain was like
Since when have jojo and hades been related in any way
Is the Switch version patched up the PC today?
Uh oh
I havenโt played it yet since the cross saves
But talos and secret rail was buffed f.e. and now I can finally try a bomb run with that
I'm so excited
Bruh what am I gonna do with 33 ambrosia and 42 diamonds...
I just decided to buy songs and decorations after a while
Yeah fair
I don't really care for most of the songs but yeah
Also only two ||themes|| to go
Recently I discovered ||that I didnโt have to turn up the heat every single time I escaped lol||
For ambrosia, itโs meant for ||NPC relationships and leveling up companions they give you, mainly||
If youโve already done that, feel free to trade it in or get the ||UI themes||
And if you read my tag
I've already done that
||Last words and The King and the Bull|| hit the hardest out of all the songs the rest are kinda good but not enough of a vibe
Seems to me like you haven't heard the final ||good riddance|| version and the ||Final Expense Payback Mix|| yet
||oh but I have||
do the bought songs have ||orpheus singing||
OUCH
like if i buy ||in the blood will he and eurydice be singing|| <-credits spoiler
||I donโt think there are any vocals?||
bought songs ||are instrumental, arenโt they?||
||yea i thought they're instrumental hence i havent bought any||
Unfortunately not
Idk
Only if he starts the randomly after a run
Eh yeah
||yea seems like a sink for diamonds|| once you're done with everything
ikr i wish i could request songs from him
Lol I already bought everything but songs with diamond
I refuse to waste diamonds on that
||good riddance all day||
I want the hot damn lyrics
Bless your soul
my mind was blown when the credits rolled and i realized ||zag's va is the one singing||
Honestly if you want the music, screw paying diamonds, just use Spotify and play it over the game ๐
Same
I bump ||payback mix, good riddance and lament so often||
Darren Korb is a freaking god
hey just an fyi for you lovely lads
Yeeees?
if you play in the blood in the house of hades and have orpheus see his lady again ||there might be a chance that they sing in the blood in the chamber together with their instruments||
which is pretty flippin dope and worth the diamonds
good riddance all day any day but it's insane
Well guess imma buy that then
maybe they wish for some privacy for beig reunited again ๐
It'll be in my five song I bought because I like them so much that I don't listen to them form theusic station but I just like am so much
That was a sentence structure and a half
Ikr
Maybe they just- catchin up,,, on life,, uhh
it feels very badass when you have in the blood playing and are standing off the balcony in the courtyard
what how do you do that
do what?
unless you mean the instrumental version
instrumental alone is insane
btw @hot yoke good to have you back my lad, how's the nectar for emotional support business going
Ay thanks man
I had a lot to do for uni
Still have, so I don't have as much time :/
Rn I'm resupplying my stock :3
How r u doin?
same with the uni workload, i also had new kiddos to try to contain while christmas is calling 
started a fully fresh file for hades cause my game looks horrible and i dont want to taint my usual savefile with the broken
getting nectar is hard my dude
was really sad to not see you back in here for a while but well, nice to see you, take my nectar my dude :)
Oh hell nah new save file
All the work again xD
Hmm u doing teaching?
Thanks that'll keep my addiction afloat
i am training for fresh file speedruns anyways :D
Kudos m8
got almost a sub 30 one but hades kicked me in the ladyparts once too often 
I was trying to beat ||32 heat|| with all weapons
Them I got hella busy
Now I'm trying out the buffs for fun
Woah sub 30 fresh file? Decent
yes i do, mainly small kiddos which is.... hard around holidays but after they get their sugar shock of the year it will hopefully mellow out again soon
Whew mad respect
Ain't my forte
I just work with people with psychological and mental disabilities
Mostly grown ups
Well the most tedious part is to keep at it ig
wow fits oddly well with your pfp
can really imagine you doing that (even reborn as rock hah...)
Yeah I ain't joking when saying I identify as bouldy
If have Zeus attack and Artemis dash strike, does dash strike proc chain lightning?
You mean artemis dash?
Yeah
Okay so it should proc Lightning then cool
Yes
how do i unlock the 4th weapon aspect? i beat a few runes and got all the aspects in spear and sword weapons
There's a pinned comment in #h1-story-discussion
I just had my first win. Should I turn on || heat || immediately with other wealons or wait until I get all the items with no heat?
First of can you please spoiler tag ||heat||
It's a spoiler in this channel
||
On both sides
It's up to your choice
You will get new bounties for a weapon if you turn it up
I can recommend clearing with each weapon once
Since that'll also get you ||6 additional titan blood|| from a prophecy
You can finish all weapon clear, also. Then the world is your canvas. Some people like to climb slowly, some others like to conquer really high check points right away.
There is no right way to do this
Technically you donโt have to climb at all, just subsist on trading everything at the broker
I like completing the win the game with every weapon/mirror perk/etc prophecies for the titan blood
gosh ||Alecto's|| boss room is so annoying
the blade rifts will never stop being annoying
try getting blade rifts with artemis duo
oh uh. my suggestion 2 new players is to not be afraid to switch controls according to your weapon!
when it comes to special spam i change special to right click and cast on the scroll button, and vice versa
also don't be afraid to swap from mouse and keyboard to controller. You win
yeah!!
another thing is that athena is absolutely your friend, her divine dash is great for melee weapons
she can also get priviliged status going with blinding flash + restore death defiances
mhm yes yes hug her
Hermes can also give extra dashes, which synergize nicely
offer 1 nectar to her ๐
yeah!! hermes is great
hermes' dash boons are beautiful but the speed ones are so little noticeable that i really dont want to go out of my way to see him
is ||guan yu|| worth it? i've tried it out a bit and I like the moveset but i never get far
no lies
oh ok
its good level 1
i only just got lvl 1
you just need to play in a diff way
the -70% is taxing for the start
special posseidon build
@hot yoke thank you and sorry about that I fixed it
No worries m8
A question for my sister, who is playing Hades on Switch. The fishing rod is not showing up in the House Contractor's goods. She has:
- made it to Theseus and Asterius, but has not slain them
- has purchased a good many things from the contractor, such as the Fated List of Minor Prophecies, the Deluxe Desk, and several other upgrades to the Underworld
- has over 40 escape attempts with over 3,300 Darkness spent
- has all but 3 keepsakes (not counting the bottom row of golden lockboxes)
Any reason why she can't get the fishing rod?
Have you looked in the work orders section?
Yes, it is not in the list for her, purchased or not.
She does have at least one diamond in her inventory at the moment as well.
You need to make it to the biome after you defeat theseus and asterius
For the fishing rod to show up
Gotcha.
yeah!
