Not sure how to black stuff out for spoilers sorry mods.

vapid marten
#

not really an issue. just maybe I was missing something. plus all my game is error and try so

fathom crown
#

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?

old escarp
#

Alas, mournful Orpheus sings only as his fancy strikes him

#

||am I able to have 2 romances? Like can I get meg AND Thanatos||

dim hamlet
#

|| 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

fluid slate
#

maxed him out

#

||i am in the middle of his lesson thing and dont know how to continue it||

leaden whale
#

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

dense laurel
#

beat the final boss

#

and then it gets going

drifting bluff
#

And you need to keep feeding nectar to keep it going as well

errant bramble
#

Any advice for the final boss fight? I keep losing badly there after easily doing the rest.

subtle granite
#

what is hard for you in that fight? dodging in time, boss-anxiety, damage?

blazing linden
#

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

leaden whale
#

sometimes it doesn't work immediately

#

it just means that the next god boon spawned will be that god

blazing linden
#

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

subtle granite
#

the boon or any of his boons?

#

oh damn

blazing linden
#

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 :/

ancient junco
#

Who are you talking about Posseidon?

subtle granite
#

had the same happening with artemis call once

blazing linden
#

yes

#

poseidon

subtle granite
#

no, they arent getting a zeus boon

#

wait what

#

now i am confused

ancient junco
#

Yeah I know what you talking about it was the last common boon I had to get took me some time

subtle granite
#

first it was about zeus now poseidon?

ancient junco
#

I finished most of legendaries before this

#

Does zeus have a boon for his call? I don't think so

blazing linden
#

idk

#

but i finished that somehow

subtle granite
#

every god (but hermes) has a call

blazing linden
#

with a cast build i think

#

ughhh

ancient junco
#

Not a call

blazing linden
#

the prophecies are kinda annoying

ancient junco
#

Posseiodon has a boon for your call

#

So you need to get his call and then there's a chance you'll get that

blazing linden
#

yes

#

i cant get it

#

das the problem lol

#

went to hell and back

#

XD

subtle granite
#

the knockaway extras? sea storm which got nerfed last patch?

ancient junco
#

I finished prophecies and I'm sad their rewards were so good u want more :((

blazing linden
#

ye i think so?

#

its called rip current

subtle granite
#

ah that

blazing linden
#

im only getting it becauise its the last one i need for the prophecy

subtle granite
#

usually if you exhaust the boon pool fast enough you should get it by middle elysium

blazing linden
#

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

ancient junco
#

Yup that's how I got it I got so many booms from posseidon he had no more boons

subtle granite
#

thats not what i mean

blazing linden
#

please explain T_T

ancient junco
#

No she meant start getting a lot posseidon boons early

subtle granite
#

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

ancient junco
#

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

subtle granite
#

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

ancient junco
#

Don't try changing darkness gems nectar or key rooms they are a different pool

blazing linden
#

ah shi

#

i need mre keys

#

i maxed the one that lets me reroll boon options

#

I DONT HAVE ANY RESOURCES

ancient junco
#

Oh...

blazing linden
#

ill do it next run

subtle granite
#

how lucky that you are on a poseidon boon run since he also offers chamber rewards and consumeables :D

ancient junco
#

Well you can do it without that just equip his keepsake join as many posseidon rooms as you can

blazing linden
#

for now imma try and get the legendary boon for artemis

#

o

#

BRUh

subtle granite
#

?

blazing linden
#

nvm

#

thats a fair point im gonna restart

#

and equip his boon

#

for the resources too

ancient junco
#

lol

subtle granite
#

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

blazing linden
#

ya

#

i remember doing that

#

i got 2k darkness in one run

ancient junco
#

If you don't have chaos use the dice that rerolls boons

subtle granite
#

2k darkness is beautiful

ancient junco
#

Darkness never ends I always need some more

#

Even blood is easier to get lol

subtle granite
#

well the final boss does give you 250 darkness if you beat him once on that level already

ancient junco
#

Yeah I know I can farm it

subtle granite
#

and sunken treasure, the poseidon boon, can give up to 220 darkness

ancient junco
#

But I prefer doing more ||heat|| for now

blazing linden
#

whats a good weapon for cast builds

#

using the spear is nice but i have to wait for so longin boss fights

ancient junco
#

Aspect of Posseidon aspect of Hera aspect of ||beowulf||

errant bramble
#

@subtle granite itโ€™s 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.

subtle granite
#

achilles spear gives the biggest cast damage bonus; hera and hidden shield nicely integrate casts

ancient junco
#

Yes but maxing posseidon is your best choice since it offers cast damage and spamming it again and again

subtle granite
ancient junco
#

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

subtle granite
#

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

blazing linden
#

i need moe blood shoot

subtle granite
#

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!

ancient junco
#

You can try without upgrading but they are a lot better with the upgrades

subtle granite
ancient junco
#

I don't remember what ||beowulf's|| upgrade does

subtle granite
#

can you spoiler the name yato?

ancient junco
#

Yes sry

subtle granite
#

this is the wrong channel to call it by the name

#

it's aright i also get the channels mixed up sometimes lol

ancient junco
#

Thx for telling me

subtle granite
#

sure thing :)

blazing linden
#

YESSS I GOT HIS CALLL

errant bramble
#

@subtle granite thanks!

blazing linden
#

anddd still no rip curernt

#

im done with poseidon

#

I finally killed the final boss ๐Ÿ˜ณ

#

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

silent magnet
dim hamlet
#

Is unhealthy fixation any good

#

It's a legendary boon from aphrodite

silent magnet
#

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.||

loud canopy
#

I havent been able to figure it out yet, does ||charm|| work on bosses?

full depot
#

It does

soft kelp
#

Just very briefly it seems

full depot
#

Though the effect wears off very quickly

#

Long enough to make them stop what they're doing and turn the other way though

Ashley Barret has the prettiest voice in any video game I've found

frank wraith
#

Quick question, what exactly is the difference between fated authority and fated persuasion?

vivid patio
#

its generally a good recommendation, yes, but do be especially careful in asphodel with bone rakers

vivid patio
frank wraith
#

ahh kk

vivid patio
#

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

leaden whale
#

what ||heat level|| are you going for?

#

||Extreme Measures is good since it only changes bosses||

ancient junco
#

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 friendly

@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||

vivid patio
#

not even paying attention to where i am, ban me aggy ๐Ÿ‘€

opaque geyser
#

Im not sure I would recommend ||BP2||, it can lead to bad combos

silk swift
#

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 friendly

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.||

It heals?

thin sleet

||the special is more a like bow attack, you don't need to call it back||

silk swift
#

||spin attack heals you||

silent magnet
#

Just curious. Do all boons have a heroic rarity? Not just the Attack, Special, Cast and Call boons?

silk swift
#

I had a heroic side hustle once so I expect yes

#

Heroic killing freeze is 17% slow and 70 dps btw

pastel cipher
#

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)

scarlet sluice
#

so wouldn't a game like Hades be proned to runs being kinda ruined because of some bad luck?

opaque geyser
#

That's rogue-likes for you

subtle walrus
#

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

opaque geyser
#

Which is kind of inevitable when you don't know the interactions

subtle walrus
#

true! but that's not bad luck but inexperience at work, which i think is an important distinction re: game design

opaque geyser
#

True

subtle walrus
#

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

real helm
#

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

subtle walrus
#

you'll get a sense of what works well together with practice--want a couple of broad tips?

real helm
#

sure, couldnt hurt

ornate remnant
#

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

real helm
#

oh what fr

#

that explains

ornate remnant
#

yup xD

subtle walrus
#

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

real helm
#

so much of the random chip dmg i've been taking

subtle walrus
#

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

ornate remnant
#

Poseidon also stacks well with himself

opaque geyser
#

Poseidon too

subtle walrus
#

yeah you're right

#

are high level mirror talents spoilers for this channel?

ornate remnant
#

don't think so?

subtle walrus
#

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

ornate remnant
#

status is the technical term, but they're basically debuffs

dire spindle
#

Hey guys what you think of dusa?

opaque geyser
#

I personally don't care so much for that. Much more important is the ability to reroll boons.

ornate remnant
dire spindle
#

For me i find her to be cute

#

In her design

subtle walrus
#

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

upbeat oracle
#

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

Just a sec

Sure thing ^.^

rugged garden
#

stupid question but where's Atermis brother in this game?

ornate remnant
#

Apollo is not in the game

rugged garden
#

awwww

ornate remnant
#

I can link a dev explanation if you want

past elbow
#

do these give better rewards too?

ornate remnant
#

ye

past elbow
#

the elite badged rooms

rugged garden
#

yes pls

past elbow
#

good to know

#

would you say i should prioritise them then

#

or does that depoend on multiple factors

ornate remnant
rugged garden
#

thank u

subtle walrus
#

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

ornate remnant
subtle walrus
#

i always prioritize skull rooms unless i'm like 80% sure i'll die in them personally

past elbow
#

gotcha

subtle walrus
#

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

obtuse pasture
#

First clear after 32 escape tries!!!!! oh god this feel soo good...๐Ÿ™Œ

past elbow
#

when something says deals extra attack damage

#

by attack it means everything right

#

special attack dash attack etc

obtuse pasture
harsh leaf
#

Attack refers specifically to actions caused by the "Attack" button

#

Special is Special, Attack is Attack, Cast is Cast

hearty meteor
#

if something affects special attack and cast it will list all the things in the description

muted latch
#

if it's everything it's usually "any damage"

alright

like Pressure Points

thanks guys

real helm
#

whats an infernal gate room

#

oops

#

sorry bot BocchiCry

#

anyway is that when hades tells you to heck iff

#

*off

#

and theres a timer

harsh leaf
#

Dont worry about Erebus gates until after you beat the game

muted latch
#

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

harsh leaf
#

He said "infernal gate", so I assumed he saw the Contractor item for Erebus gates

real helm
#

nah i was looking at the uhhh

#

door symbol key abive

harsh leaf
#

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"

magic urchin
#

which boons is best for ||aspect of nemesis|| for stygius

leaden whale
#

arty attack, aphro special

#

aim for heart rend

magic urchin
analog radish
#

lmao imagin knowing the names of the wepons

#

is stygius the sword

leaden whale
#

heart rend is a duo boon between artemis and aphrodite

leaden whale
#

it's really good on that aspect

magic urchin
#

ok thanks mate

analog radish
#

huat is stygius

#

yes ok stygius is the sword

vapid marten
#

hey, any advice on Tisiphone??

dense laurel

kill her fast

Yeah

vapid marten
#

okay, I didnโ€™t expect her to be that easy to kill

sour turret
#

Is there a best weapon?

#

I'm liking the shield

analog radish
#

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||

jovial briar
#

Hello, fellow players. Just beat Meg and got me into a new area. If I die here, I have to escape from the beginning?

pastel scroll
#

Yes

ancient junco
#

anyplace anytime if you die you need to go all the way again no checkpoints

#

welcome to the world of roguelikes

analog radish
#

u can use save stats

#

then u can u know save

#

but thats elegal

ancient junco
#

yeah be glad its a rogulite because if it was an actual roguelike you wouldn't even have permanent upgrades

jovial briar
#

Thank you for clarification. I am ready to suffer, this game is too fun=)

ancient junco
#

lol

#

don't worry a lot of practice and you are gonna win one day

jovial briar

Thaaanks=)

bronze mulch
#

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||?

blissful vine
#

Yes

analog radish
#

yes

#

also spoilers

bronze mulch
#

hmm is the whole thing a spoiler? i'll edit it to hide them i'm just not sure which part lol

thorny bobcat
#

anything that happens after the last boss is considered a spoiler

and thank you

How do you make stuff a spoiler? Like black it out

leaden whale
#

I need help with Minotaur and Thesus

#

I died to them twice already

#

They are OP

subtle granite
#

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

leaden whale
#

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

subtle granite
#

who ususally damages you the most?

subtle granite
leaden whale
#

The minotaur damges me the most

#

My favorite weapon?

#

Shield, Spear and Bow

#

Probably a tie between Shield and Spear

subtle granite
#

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

leaden whale
#

what about hades spear

subtle granite
#

hades spear is good but achilles helps dodging asterius

leaden whale
#

ok i think ill thest achilles out

subtle granite
#

have fun! if you need any help, we're all happy to help c:

leaden whale
#

thanks

errant bramble
#

Am I correct that Aphro Call does nothing vs final boss? (Yes vs adds)

subtle granite
#

her ultimate calls decimate one of his inbetween stages if you time it right

honest ferry
#

If you charge Aphro call to full it just does damage instead.

For example if you crit a boss when no one else is in the fight

round hearth
subtle granite
#

;-; 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

round hearth
#

do boons that increase attack damage also buff dash strike?

silk swift
#

Pretty sure yes

round hearth
#

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

pastel cipher

#

you can trigger it on the end boss tho via fighting his projectiles

#

I hate the Bow lol.

#

Gods.

#

Canโ€™t beat final boss with 4 lives bc bow is bad bad.

silk swift
#

Do I have to tell you it's not the bow's fault or

leaden whale
#

are you dash striking with it

errant bramble
#

Lol Phoenix. ๐Ÿ˜›

#

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?

leaden whale
#

dash striking makes you charge attack faster

#

never not dash strike with the bow

errant bramble
#

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?

livid ledge
#

PC?

daring delta
#

The bow is not bad by any means

round hearth
#

i just realized why i didn't like the shield

#

ive been using it like the sword

#

barely blocking... with a shield

livid ledge
#

i used to be like that. actually got to the last boss without knowing i could block

errant bramble
#

@livid ledge yes PC

leaden whale
#

bow dash attack is just a regular attack that charges faster

livid ledge
#

oh crap cross save

#

i should look into playing on my mac then

austere idol
#

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.

flat sierra
#

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

livid ledge
#

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

flat sierra
#

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

austere idol
#

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

Poseidon and Dionysus are both good

torn plaza
#

will it stack Dio to 5?

ornate remnant
#

if you have Chiron ranked up, yes, otherwise it will take more than one use of your special

torn plaza
#

gotcha

full depot
#

Dio on chiron sounds bad, use the old lady instead

ornate remnant
#

Demeter is also good, yes--Dio is good because of how quickly you can stack him

full depot
#

Yea but you're losing dps cause dio doesn't actually do as much damage as you could be doing with other options

ornate remnant
#

Imo, it lets you fire once on an enemy and then ignore them, so it's definitely better for larger groups than bosses

full depot
#

It doesn't even have a percentage mult or anything

ornate remnant
#

Chiron special base damage isn't that high anyway though xD

full depot
#

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

ornate remnant
#

true--I also tend to stick to Pos or Dem anyway, so I could be misremembering how effective Dio was

full depot
#

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

glass bison
#

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

floral nacelle
#

Win the game once for another method

#

Or just trade for it at the broker or save up for it at ||Styx||

glass bison
#

thanks!

hot yoke
#

on rail zeus ist just way better tho ofc

full depot
#

How

hot yoke
#

what "how"?

full depot
#

How is dio build actually good on chiron

hot yoke
#

lol u kidding me

full depot
#

You're hitting like 7 arrows for free wouldn't you want them to do anything

hot yoke
#

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

leaden whale
#

||Just got to Hades for the first time||

full depot
#

I mean sure if we're rolling two duos then I guess it's good enough

hot yoke
#

its prolly the best with crit build

full depot
#

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

hot yoke
#

well i never said its better than artemis

#

so i dunno what ur trying to argue lol

full depot
#

Ofc dio works if you roll everything perfect

ornate remnant
full depot
#

But like going for dio in general just seems bad

hot yoke
#

only thing you really need is another curse and ps

leaden whale
#

Sorry

#

Didn't know that

ornate remnant
#

No worries friendly

full depot
#

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

hot yoke
#

the duos, same as for artemis, just make it leagues better

ornate remnant
#

Congrats, btw! ( @ Saturn)

leaden whale
#

Thanks

#

Run 31 though...

#

Most people beat it by run 15 lol

ornate remnant
#

not really

#

I'm pretty sure the average is about 30?

hot yoke
#

more like 25

full depot
#

I mean getting status on anyone but Artemis isn't hard

leaden whale
#

I'm pretty bad at these games haha

#

I think I can beat him by 35

full depot
#

Yes I think the average is easily high 20s

leaden whale
#

Is the story gonna pick up soon?

hot yoke
#

how do i know dio build is good on chiron? 200+ hours of playtime lol

full depot
#

Sure it works but like there are better safer option to make chiron work is what I mean

hot yoke
#

i never argued that its the best option

#

just one of the best

ornate remnant
full depot
#

Oh man my game gltiched after final boss and I'm back at weapon selection, yay

hot yoke
#

well thats too late now xD

ornate remnant
full depot
#

Yep

ornate remnant
#

just don't leave the courtyard before you close the game

full depot
#

Alright lemme try, thanks

ornate remnant
#

ye!

full depot
#

It worked! Just gotta do final boss again

ornate remnant
#

great! Best of luck friendly

hot yoke
#

u'll do it ez

sinful garnet
#

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)

hot yoke
#

well yeah there are builds

torn plaza
#

yeah there are good builds ๐Ÿ™‚

#

it'd be a hell of a lot to type out every one though

hot yoke
#

important specification

fresh birch
torn plaza
#

so if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask @sinful garnet

hot yoke
#

eh i actually have a build sheet lol

sinful garnet
#

tyty will take a look at what @fresh birch posted โค๏ธ

hot yoke
#

basically a basic overview

torn plaza
#

those arent very in depth at all lol

#

but still helpful for a BRAND new player

hot yoke
#

just ask for builds for an aspect, people will post xD

torn plaza
#

if you have any more questions, feel free to ask in here ๐Ÿ™‚

#

yeah

#

agreed

hot yoke
#

^

#

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

sinful garnet
#

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?

hot yoke
#

there are certain tricks for weapons yeah

torn plaza
#

you cant animation cancel really, as far as i know, but there are some tricks for some weapons

ornate remnant
#

you can cancel some animations

#

the sword's special, the shield's bull rush landing animation

hot yoke
#

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

ornate remnant
#

most animations are canceled using dashes

hot yoke
#

with secret sword aspect for two dash lengths

torn plaza
#

mostly with dashes, but idk if that really counts as animation cancelling

hot yoke
#

well you cancel the animation

#

so....

ornate remnant
#

with sword it definitely counts

sinful garnet
#

Ohhh ty vm. Thats really good to know

torn plaza
#

i guesssssss

hot yoke
#

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

torn plaza
#

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

sinful garnet
#

can i read up on the different techs anywhere or would you recommend watching like speedruns/stuff like that on yt?

torn plaza
#

speedruns can be good to learn good builds

hot yoke
#

well more accurate would be: you ,lose your i frames as soon as you dash attack

#

just ask players

torn plaza
#

i think the most important thing is to learn good builds

hot yoke
#

thats what the discord is for lol

torn plaza
#

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

hot yoke
#

well its like that with a lot of stuff

#

to some extent

sinful garnet
#

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?

hot yoke
#

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

torn plaza
#

i'd recommend unlocking everything before you start upgrading

#

but i like to mix it up every run

hot yoke
#

well tbf a lot of aspects are p weak unless maxed

#

to varying degrees ofc

torn plaza
#

true

#

most notably Chairon and Chaos

hot yoke
#

yep

torn plaza
#

yo what is the keepsake beneath Athena?

hot yoke
#

can u send a pic lol

torn plaza
#

i already left but next time lol

thats the only one i have left

errant bramble
#

Someone good with bow dash strike on PC, do you check the box for โ€œdash towards mouse cursorโ€

#

I find it very hard to actually aim

leaden whale
#

I do, most others dont

full depot
#

How do you make the last spear aspect work

ornate remnant
#

Aphro special + charged skewer. Or a fast-hitting attack (Zeus works) + quick spin

full depot
#

Do I have to get it to max level before using it like chiron or is it usable at lv1

ornate remnant
#

usable, though difficult

heady comet
#

a good alternative is artemis special + aphro basic + heartrend + special hammers - you deal 1k hits on a massive hitbox every 2 seconds

errant bramble
#

Oh whoops. Do you only get ||Heat rank|| bonuses once? Or once per weapon?

#

Accidentally did ||Heat 1|| twice I think

austere idol
#

once per weapon per rank

ancient junco
#

first of all each weapon is different dosent matter for other weapons each heat rank has a bounty

edgy tartan
#

So like, ||you can earn rewards with every weapon on heat 1, and then every weapon on heat 2, etc||

errant bramble
#

Oh okay. Maybe I just did this rank with this weapon already and forgot lol

edgy tartan
#

It'll always say ||"New Bounties Available!" if you haven't unlocked all the rewards for that weapon at that rank||

austere idol
#

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

ancient junco
#

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

errant bramble
#

Ohh thatโ€™s probably whatโ€™s happening

ancient junco
#

yeah gotcha

#

just win and all the bounties will unlock

errant bramble
#

Yeah no idea what weapon I used last attempt

ancient junco
#

well the one that has some bounties checked I guess? if you lose with 1 weapon the rest keep their bounties

full depot
#

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||

opaque geyser
#

That... doesn't sound right. The debuff lasts quite a long time.

ancient junco
#

is it maybe the ||Rama|| upgrade? im not sure what its upgrade

opaque geyser
#

Upgrade is %, debuff is always 7s

full depot
#

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

vital kindle
#

is divine protection good

#

athena's legendary

ornate remnant
#

very

vital kindle
#

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

ornate remnant
#

not quite

#

you have a one-hit shield

#

after you lose it, you get it back in 20 seconds

vital kindle
#

ah

#

I dont see how it'll be that good

#

but I'll take it

#

because why not

ornate remnant
#

it adds up shadesmile

nice

ornate remnant

(it doesn't stack, to be clear)

(but the effect itself is valuable over time)

for a new player you are bound to get hit

damage mitigation is never a bad thing

vital kindle

but I kinda like having a lot of death defiance too lol

3 DD is perfectly viable

SD is more suitable for super late game

refreshing a DD is definitely good, no argument

muted latch
#

yeah

ornate remnant
#

if you were at 0, or only 1, I'd say probably refresh

muted latch

yep

ornate remnant

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

Don't tell me what happends if happends but does something happen after you max out the hearts?

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

the hammer upgrade doesnt take away the boon

lol I didnโ€™t know I can get more than one death defiance

ornate remnant

yup, you can keep ranking up that talent

up to 3

livid ledge

just kept on using Stubborn Defiance

#

Iโ€™m like 34 runs without beating the last boss and thatโ€™s the stuff thatโ€™s contributing to it

#

shouldโ€™ve studied the mirror more carefully and rerolled earlier

#

really got into a plateau for a while but redoing the mirror should help

sly vigil
#

Yeah, and taking Acorn if you haven't

#

It's really good Elysium onward, especially starting out

muted latch
#

unlock all keepsakes asap

livid ledge
#

Yeah I have every keepsake except the last

#

Leveling acorn. Almost at 3 star

#

Better than Skelly? Did someone do the math?

ornate remnant
#

yup

#

against final boss, at least

#

and I think against elysium boss as well

pastel cipher
#

against final boss acorn on average soaks significantly more damage than you get from skelly's tooth

ornate remnant
#

max rank skelly is 100 extra hp, effectively

pastel cipher

people usually tend to take acorn into the ||EM3|| Theseus fight

My first win wasnโ€™t until run 48/50โ€™or something

phew. 30 runs in. finally a clear. i suck lol. the game on the other hand is stellar.

fiery stump

lol at 36 runs I snapped and turned on god mode

coral cloud
#

aaahhh noooo don't :X i mean, you do you, but won't you ruin the experience?

fiery stump
#

I just couldnโ€™t handle the anger anymore lmaoo

faint umbra
#

god mode doesnt ruin the experience, it just gives 20% damage reduction, which increases by 2% every time you die and caps at 80%

fiery stump
#

Plus I cared more about the plot and the characters, not getting my ass kicked by a bone hydra and Theseus for eternity

faint umbra
#

its there for anyone who needs it, for any reason

coral cloud
#

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.

fiery stump
#

Yeah! But after 36 fails I was finally like โ€œnaw, Iโ€™m too bad at this game, I just want to have funโ€

#

flicks god mode on

coral cloud

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

i tried the [censored] aspect for the spear. it left me "meh"

spear gives me this weird directional issue where I canโ€™t turn around sometimes

Weird

Makes me mad

While charging?

Oof

fiery stump

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

coral cloud

strangely enough i had no love for the gun but it's with it that i got my first clear.

@coral cloud you talking to me??

I canโ€™t even clear Meg half the time, let alone bone hydra

Gun has insane auto aim

hardy notch

And use the special while you reload

hot yoke
#

Play it with zeus attack

#

And poseidon dash

#

If ur using Gamepad set reload to L

coral cloud
#

with hte gun once i had muti-bomb special, it became quite op. with zeus's chain lightning on attack. i liked that.

fiery stump
#

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 - thatโ€™s the only way I can deal with it

Multi rocket special tho lmao

Delta chamber is meh

coral cloud

oh hell yeah on reload. i actually set it to a paddle on the XB1 elite2. r3 was a bith to use

swift hawk
#

You can dash, but it still feels stilted

hot yoke
#

Try it with auto aim
Also you can dash while holding down fire

swift hawk
#

Zag needs an uzi

hot yoke
#

And you'll keep firing

swift hawk
#

dual wield hammer

woeful lake
#

And having to remember to reload on top of whatever else you have to remember to do like cast or call weirritatin

hot yoke

But it sacrifices I frames

Yeah but i get used to the stiltyness

hot yoke
#

Muscle memory

coral cloud

ok - poof.

If you do dash-attacks with the gun, it'll reload

woeful lake

Wait for real?

Yeah

swift hawk

Helped me a lot before I realized I could rebind the reload button

woeful lake

I didnโ€™t notice that

On switch

#

Pressing down on the right joystick is the worst

hot yoke
#

Yup

#

Hated rail before that too

hardy notch

Oof

woeful lake

Iโ€™ll try rebinding the reload

#

Thatโ€™s a good tip

#

Thanks yโ€™all

hot yoke
#

It's a god send

#

Set codex to R3 instead

fiery stump
#

I got the hidden aspect quest done and I never touched the gun again lol

woeful lake

thatโ€™s gonna be me

#

I hate it

fiery stump
#

Oh I might have to try that

hot yoke
#

Eris is actually one of, it not the strongest aspects

woeful lake
#

Bow all the way

swift hawk
#

ngl, You can prob do without the reload button if you're not running the 3rd aspect

hot yoke
#

Even post nerf afaik

swift hawk
#

Just dash-attack

fiery stump
#

Switching left bumper and r3? Smart

hot yoke
#

My favorite weapons is every weapon

woeful lake

I wish that was me

hot yoke
#

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

woeful lake
#

Ah, ok. Iโ€™m only like 10 in

hot yoke
#

Lol it's only natural

#

Spear tool an insanely long time to click with me

woeful lake
#

I like spear if I get the extra long reach or just spam the special

hot yoke
#

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

swift hawk
#

Nothing wrong with some cast builds

#

Though I feel like they rely a lot more on duo boons than others

#

other builds*

hot yoke
#

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

If youโ€™ve already done that, feel free to trade it in or get the ||UI themes||

hot yoke
#

And if you read my tag
I've already done that

fiery stump
#

||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

hot yoke
#

Seems to me like you haven't heard the final ||good riddance|| version and the ||Final Expense Payback Mix|| yet

fiery stump
#

||oh but I have||

hot yoke
#

Well then what's wrong with you

#

Jk

full depot
#

fiery stump
#

OUCH

full depot
#

fiery stump
#

||I donโ€™t think there are any vocals?||

#

bought songs ||are instrumental, arenโ€™t they?||

full depot
#

||yea i thought they're instrumental hence i havent bought any||

hot yoke
#

Unfortunately not

fiery stump
#

Idk

hot yoke
#

Not if you play them from the menu

#

That's why I don't really buy songs

fiery stump
#

I quite enjoy instrumentals

#

But

hot yoke
#

Only if he starts the randomly after a run

fiery stump
#

Eh yeah

full depot
#

||yea seems like a sink for diamonds|| once you're done with everything

hot yoke
#

I just wanted to hear the lament of Zagreus lyrics on demand

#

That's all I wanted

full depot
#

ikr i wish i could request songs from him

hot yoke
#

Lol I already bought everything but songs with diamond
I refuse to waste diamonds on that

full depot
#

||good riddance all day||

hot yoke
#

I want the hot damn lyrics

hot yoke
full depot
#

my mind was blown when the credits rolled and i realized ||zag's va is the one singing||

fiery stump
#

Honestly if you want the music, screw paying diamonds, just use Spotify and play it over the game ๐Ÿ˜‚

hot yoke
#

Same

#

I bump ||payback mix, good riddance and lament so often||

#

Darren Korb is a freaking god

subtle granite
#

hey just an fyi for you lovely lads

fiery stump
#

Yeeees?

subtle granite
#

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

full depot
#

mfw ||havent encountered eurydice once in 5 runs since i united them||

#

stupid fates

subtle granite
#

hot yoke

Ikr

fiery stump
#

subtle granite
#

full depot
#

subtle granite
#

full depot
#

unless you mean the instrumental version

subtle granite
#

subtle granite
#

#

was really sad to not see you back in here for a while but well, nice to see you, take my nectar my dude :)

hot yoke
#

Oh hell nah new save file
All the work again xD

#

Hmm u doing teaching?

Thanks that'll keep my addiction afloat

subtle granite
#

i am training for fresh file speedruns anyways :D

hot yoke
#

Kudos m8

subtle granite
#

hot yoke
#

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

subtle granite
#

very decent

#

once even fresh run but theseus didnt die fast enough shadegrief

subtle granite
# hot yoke Hmm u doing teaching?

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

hot yoke
#

Whew mad respect

#

Ain't my forte

#

I just work with people with psychological and mental disabilities
Mostly grown ups

hot yoke
subtle granite
#

wow fits oddly well with your pfp

#

can really imagine you doing that (even reborn as rock hah...)

hot yoke
#

Yeah I ain't joking when saying I identify as bouldy

errant bramble
#

If have Zeus attack and Artemis dash strike, does dash strike proc chain lightning?

hot yoke
#

You mean artemis dash?

errant bramble
#

Yeah

hot yoke
#

There isn't a "dash strike" boon

#

Attack boon affects dash strike

errant bramble
#

Okay so it should proc Lightning then cool

hot yoke
#

Yes

crystal oar
#

how do i unlock the 4th weapon aspect? i beat a few runes and got all the aspects in spear and sword weapons

hot yoke
gentle depot
#

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?

hot yoke
#

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

sly vigil
#

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

hot yoke
#

But there is a right way to do this

#

Your way

floral nacelle
#

Technically you donโ€™t 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

livid ledge
#

gosh ||Alecto's|| boss room is so annoying

dark torrent
#

the blade rifts will never stop being annoying

subtle granite
#

try getting blade rifts with artemis duo

dark torrent
#

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

ancient junco
#

also don't be afraid to swap from mouse and keyboard to controller. You win

dark torrent
#

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

ancient junco
#

mhm yes yes hug her

floral nacelle
#

Hermes can also give extra dashes, which synergize nicely

ancient junco
#

offer 1 nectar to her ๐Ÿ˜‰

dark torrent
#

yeah!! hermes is great

subtle granite
#

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

prime fox
#

is ||guan yu|| worth it? i've tried it out a bit and I like the moveset but i never get far

subtle granite
#

it is very good but the lvl 1 is really bad

#

best to use it after lvl 4

ancient junco
#

no lies

prime fox
#

oh ok

ancient junco
#

its good level 1

prime fox
#

i only just got lvl 1

ancient junco
#

you just need to play in a diff way

subtle granite
#

the -70% is taxing for the start

ancient junco
#

special posseidon build

subtle granite
#

still as first try lvl 1 really isnt that much of an upgrade

#

like chiron lvl 1

gentle depot
#

@hot yoke thank you and sorry about that I fixed it

hot yoke
#

No worries m8

spring crescent

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?

hot yoke
#

Have you looked in the work orders section?

spring crescent
#

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.

floral nacelle
#

You need to make it to the biome after you defeat theseus and asterius

#

For the fishing rod to show up

spring crescent
#

Gotcha.

dark torrent
#

yeah!
