#

i never had a single time where it did less than a stage of damage

#

thats another point for artemis

#

you can pom its damage

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

yeah

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

not for aphro

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

aphro is useful at not max though

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

not really

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

Arty u get a whole 100 dmg

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

it doesnt clear rooms or give free enemies

#

crit

#

300 dmg at common for one normal enemy = free

#

and also getting arty on call is something you'd rather have for most weapons

#

aphro feels best on special/attack

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

por que no los dos

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

so getting it on call instead is a waste

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

im fine with either

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

because you dont have it guaranteed that it will be available again later

#

thats personal preference

#

i am talking about generic builds

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

im fine with both aphro/arty on attack

|| lmaoo i got aspect of chiron lvl 3 and it just deletes so far in tartarus||

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

chiron is awesome

native knoll Dec 24, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

chiron is broken

#

my fav weapon by a mile

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

it's not broken

#

but it is a fanfavorite :D

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

I need to put an actual build together for it next time I run with it, completely winged it and it still melted lots of stuff

#

Working on filling out the ||list of minor prophecies|| is too fun for me

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

hehe

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

leaden whale I need to put an actual build together for it next time I run with it, completel...

artemis and dio with chiron are the stronmgest I think. YOu can do a lot of random stuff at low heat though, don't be afraid to experiment

#

like demeter with artic blast ares with dire misfortune

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

the bow really encourages using Priviledged Status from the mirror

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

Yeah I was thinking maybe Aphro on attack w/ Dio on special or something

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

zeus is worse than it sounds because you only get like 3 bolts per special instead of one per arrow, but it is still good enough damage to clear the game if you go into zeus

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

aphro attack and either arty/dio on special is good

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

leaden whale Yeah I was thinking maybe Aphro on attack w/ Dio on special or something

that's a great build, it gets to silly damage terretory if you can also get the ares/dio duo boon

#

either is really good but aphro si slightly more damaghe

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

I'll have to look up the duo boons to refresh my memory, my game knowledge is still pretty poor

#

it is recommended to start with aphrodite in tartarus

#

then grab whichever shows up for special

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

my apporach sop far has always been to pick my special and get aphro later

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:41 PM

#

aphro is a lot more consistent. i can see ares attack being more favorable with (endgame spoiler) || dc || on

#

Is aphro on attack not bad for stuff like ||fists|| where you can apply status much faster

#

i used to do that too but the thing is

#

in tartarus, you can kill most things with a single powershot.

#

your attack matters more than your special

#

and aphro attack bonus is a lot

#

we're talking abt chiron, right?

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

leaden whale Is aphro on attack not bad for stuff like ||fists|| where you can apply status m...

we are talking specifically about chiron, but aphro attack is never really bad because the damage multiplier is huge

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

leaden whale Yeah I was thinking maybe Aphro on attack w/ Dio on special or something

thats a very powerful build, it also allows you for their duo that makes dio even MORE powerful, with ||demeter|| on call or dash you will do an insane amount of damage with all that

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

Gotcha. What are you guys running mirror wise then in order to get these builds to come together?

#

bottom four green (legacy/pride depends on build), everything else purple for me

#

ah, and dark regen. though i know some prefer cthonic more

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

yeah pretty much that

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

Dark Regen is so good, although when I play around ||heat|| I'll probably swap to the other one

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

leaden whale bottom four green (legacy/pride depends on build), everything else purple for me

the 4th last should be red for aphro-dio tho o.o

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

in general

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

thats literally priviledged status o.o

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

yeah

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

well, you take ps if you're sure you'll go with a build that procs it

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

generally too, not getting any status curse boons is highly unlikely

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

but i take aphro start so

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

yeah aphro attack is so nice

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

i'm not guaranteed to build into dio when i go chiron

@woven eagle thank you somuch!

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Alright yeah bottom 3 green is what I'm running with now (still need more darkness to get them filled out though)

#

yeah, persuasion especially is expensive

#

i still have stuff to max...

#

Just got Legacy maxed so need to save my pennies for that for sure

#

i feel like i spend more time talking about the game than playing it lol

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

same

#

but the server is really nice so why not

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

I feel that. It's wormed it's way into my brain to the point where I'm not playing it I'm thinking about HOW to play it

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

saaaame

#

i am trying to get ||father dearest|| down in less than a minute rn but thats all that i'm doing ingame 😂

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Oof I can't even comprehend having enough damage to get that done haha!

native knoll Dec 24, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

afro atk, dyo special

#

#

just these flipping ||DARKNESS|| calls

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

Artemis, what is the aim when starting with Zeus as you mentioned yesterday?

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

leaden whale Oof I can't even comprehend having enough damage to get that done haha!

you just have to use some tier 1 build

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

leaden whale Artemis, what is the aim when starting with Zeus as you mentioned yesterday?

specifically for rail: zeus attack
else his cast

#

the cast just gives you a free tart

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

subtle granite the last two times i got him down in 1,5mins

You're closing in then! You'll get it eventually

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

i hope i will

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

Ahh yeah I thought so, tried it earlier on a failed fists run and the cast mopped the first half of Tartarus

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

damage isnt even an issue, him just saying "f this, i'm out"

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

Yup my second clear earlier I feel like he disappeared after almost every attack he did

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

cast does i think 80-90 damage on epic so it gets even the louts done in 2-3 hits

#

if you get jolted on that you wont even have to fight anybody

#

just wait for them to destroy themselves hehehehe

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

I did get jolted later on in the run but played so poorly I died in Elysium

#

Might have to swap to the increased epic talent for starting Zeus then

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

God's legacy is only recommended if you really NEED a duo or legendary desperately

#

cause else your boon pool will be thinned out towards the end of a stage that getting one anyways has a really big chane

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

Riiiight okay, I might have to respec and move my darkness around then

#

So with that in mind, is it worth focusing on 2-3 gods and just snagging as much from them as possible in order to improve the odds of Duos/Legendaries?

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

depends on what you want to focus on?

#

like if you want to try a ares cast run you really need to focus on him and artemis

#

but else really get every main boon place filled - even if you dont like the dashes or cast

#

cause thats already 5 boons deleted from every boon pool, tier 1 arent that important and tier 2 are very few; consumeable even less; so getting stuck with not getting a duo at all is very unlikely?

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

What do you mean by deleted? As in if I fill an attack boon from Aphro, I won't get one offered by Zeus for example?

muted latch Dec 24, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

it can happen, but it's very rare

#

if you have attack filled by a deity, it's very unlikely that you will see another attack boon

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

Cool, sounds like common sense now that you mention it - my bad

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

sorry yeah, these main spots can only be refilled with trade boons which are pretty rare

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

Okay so I'm definitely going to respec my mirror then haha

?

Sorry ~~was my way of saying I'm here to answer if I can~~

oh ; o ; sorry i thought i was already being annoying

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:29 PM

Nuo nuo :}

#

zealous python hey! i have a quick question

whadup :)

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

but i just downloaded this game last night and im in the dungeons? if thats what you call it?

#

and so i pressed the - button on my switch

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

If the area is green and dungeon-like, it's Tartarus

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

and i see these icons from what ive earned for weapon skills/damage stuff... and if i select them with my A button, a gold coin or something attaches to it?

#

im not sure if im describing this right but im not sure what it does...

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

Ah I think...that's for much much much later

#

Nothing too serious if I'm correct

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

like....so i got the heartbreaker flourish yeah? if i select it with A, it starts glowing arouns the edges?

#

i cant attach a photo to show....

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

I see what you mean, but that doesn't do anything major

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

whats it for?

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

Final boss stuff

#

But I'm not 100% sure

#

But I do know it doesn't impact gameplay

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

also, if i go thru a dungeon and i get another thing to boost my special move, are they stacked? cause i have heartbreaker flourish and super nova, do the stats stack?

#

or is it one or the other

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

they stack

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

sweet!

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

all boons are active at the same time unless they need something to happen (like a dio boon needs you to have less than 50% health but then it will glow to the side of your main attack boons)

zealous python Dec 24, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

and i think i read it online but i wanted to make sure; the stuff u buy at the mirror in your bedroom are permanate right? like, they wont go away if i die in a dungeon?

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Yup they're permanent

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

Yeah that's permanent spend away

You can reset it if you want though

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 5:36 PM

when you can select a room you see the reward above the door in these little balls with "laurels"

static anvil Dec 24, 2020, 5:36 PM

It's been so long since I got ||the barge|| I genuinely miss it the ||witches|| are run killers for me

#

What was it that got you to stop reading initially, if you don't mind me asking?

#

just got bored iirc

#

for witches you just gotta bum rush them

#

I get that, the pacing compared to the early arcs can be a little on the slower side

#

Oh I bum rush them, I just take ungodly amounts of collateral damage for doing so

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 5:42 PM

leaden whale It's been so long since I got ||the barge|| I genuinely miss it the ||witches|| ...

i hate getting the barge with constant ||MM|| on shadegrief

#

also if you get athena on anything the witches are toast

#

athena on dash: go to the walled in corner and dash from side to side
athena on attack: attack the bubbles

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 5:44 PM

how often do u find keepshakes after getting the upgrade?

you get keepsakes from most via gifting them one nectar

how often do u find those

how can i get more titan blood? i have cleared tartarus with every weapon

Add a level of heat

#

Each level of heat will refresh the bounties.

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

I haven't cleared the game yet

Go do that then

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

I've only reached up to ||Theseus||

Then beat the game, or talk to the collector dude

Alright

#

yall is there a big difference between hell mode and normal?

naive monolith Dec 24, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Yes. You need to have at least 5 heat right off the bat, and theres a special punishment that is only in hell mode

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

|| Certain pacts are mandatory ||

naive monolith Dec 24, 2020, 8:53 PM

Oh yeah, that too

peak vale Dec 24, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

i started with hell mode and it doesnt look too difficult tbh

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

all in all it's not very different from playing with ||heat|| in normal mode, aside from the hell mode exclusive ||punishment||

#

||i can see how the fact that you can't take off some pacts would be annoying tho as you push higher heat... especially CP1 and maybe JS1||

subtle granite Dec 24, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

honestly ||js|| is way easier and better for low than ||cp||

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

For sure

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

yeah agreed

||js doesnt affect boss fights while cp does, which is the biggest thing for me||

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 9:19 PM

Finally got my first proper 'build' during a run and it was glorius

I've won 3 out of my last 4 runs - is it normal to get a little flurry like this once you get your first?

yes

I lost a death defiance to the first boss and knowing the third area I know I'm going to get my butt handed to.

errant bramble Dec 24, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

Esc and Give Up, but you should essentially never use it. Losing a DD early doesn’t mean anything

cursive forge Dec 24, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

I wish, I'm gonna need at least 5 DDs to even beat the boss

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

Just push forward and see what you can get. Keys, darkness, nectar are always useful and will push your progress forward even if you get wiped out

#

All practice is good practice in this game, or at least that's what I've found so far

sly vigil Dec 24, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

You can hit give up, which will not give you a new run but reset you back to the start of your current one.

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

What do people tend to go for ||when adding heat to the run||? I'm planning to add it steadily (just escaped ||with 1 heat) and while the increased shop costs weren't too bad I'd rather keep them at base level||

errant bramble Dec 24, 2020, 10:01 PM

||Extreme measures 1/2 aren’t too bad and the timed run.||

leaden whale What do people tend to go for ||when adding heat to the run||? I'm planning to a...

It's really hard to say but try them all out. Some options are not the easiest, but you can get used to them as future proofing practice if this makes sense. Those are ||Forced Overtime, Tight Deadline, Benefit Package, Extreme Measure||. (Again, those are not the easiest to use by any means, just that getting used to them make ||heat climbing|| generally easier in the future).

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

^agree, those are difficult but will become necessary if you continue so getting used to them is good

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

Alright I can work with that going forward! I'm planning on just ||increasing heat by 1 each time I run with a weapon I've cleared with|| is that the right approach to take to stop it from being overwhelming?

sly vigil Dec 24, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

yeah sure, I wouldn't recommend taking all of the above in at once anyhow.

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

||if you have somewhat decent game knowledge, the first timer one is free, if you have hell mode the one you get from there is pretty free, enhanced measures 1 and 2 aren't really much harder than normal, the 20% extra damage is managable and middle management is nothing too bad most of the time(you have to learn a few new moves though)||

sly vigil Dec 24, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

I think ||Tight Deadline or Extreme Measure|| is a fun start

#

Go fast, hit hard, win games.

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

||Tight Deadline|| definitely worries me, not sure I'm quite swift enough for that just yet

sly vigil Dec 24, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

You can start with just one level. 36 minute should be enough if you consciously go fast.

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Just try it, if you have time left over after a region it carries over

#

I never had an issue with if

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

Yeah you're right, I've got nothing to lose really

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

@leaden whale honestly i think early on you can ||move up by multiple heat at a time. its all up to how you feel really so test out some different heats and see how you do if you want to keep climbing||

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

You have to try a bit with the second level, but it is still very managable

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

My fastest time is 39 minutes so I think I could maybe make it work

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

if you keep time in mind as you play, 36 minutes is absolutely doable

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:27 PM

ur right, my bad

i mean you can always go back and get those but yeah prob best to ||do it one by one then, i forgot lol||

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

No worries haha! Just wanted to check in case I was misunderstanding something

woven eagle Dec 24, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

No, you always get the reward for 1 over your highest assuming you do at least that much heat

#

So if your next one is 8 heat and you do 10 you still get the reward for 8

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

yeah, but still if you ||want to get all the rewards you'll have to do it 20 times, so might as well move it one by one to get gradually used to it||

forest thistle Dec 24, 2020, 10:29 PM

I think its really stupid that they lock progression of one weapon behind that of others. I don't want to play with the stupid shield. I want to play with the bow

the shield does no damage at all

The rail?

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:38 PM

Yeah! We're both talking about the gun right?

Yeah, I was using all my keys for it so I think I'm really underpowered in terms of reflections

#

Im only up to the cast upgrade one.

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:39 PM

#

Don't worry about that, I focused on unlocking all the weapons first too. The keys will start to stack up over time again

#

You can also trade for them with the wretched broker. 10 jewels for 1 key but don't quote me on that I might be wrong

Side note: your name/avatar is further convincing me I need to do another pokemon nuzlocke soon

cursive forge Dec 24, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

What's a nuzlocke?

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

a run through of a pokemon game with certain rules

#

you have to catch the first pokemon you see in a new area (route or wherever wild pkmn are), 2) if a pokemon faints, you can not use it for the rest of the game

#

i believe those are the 2 main ones

cursive forge Dec 24, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Wow, that sounds insanely difficult

karmic hamlet Dec 24, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

yea thats the main 2 rules

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

its not that bad for most base pkmn games since they're relatively simple

#

its when you start getting into romhack nuzlockes that things get rough

sly vigil Dec 24, 2020, 10:42 PM

Nuzlocke makes Pokemon a roguelite.

you dont really get anything from giving the gods more nectar after the first one

floral nacelle Dec 24, 2020, 10:47 PM

I don’t think nectar affects boon rarity, sadly

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

it does not

floral nacelle Dec 24, 2020, 10:47 PM

Only their keepsake, the mirror, and possible chaos boons do that

Being able to shape your build early in your run is very beneficial

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:49 PM

floral nacelle and don’t underestimate the value of Olympian keepsakes

Is that for example the Eternal Rose from Aphrodite which makes your first boon hers?

floral nacelle Dec 24, 2020, 10:49 PM

#

Yep, keepsakes like those

#

It also means that even after the guaranteed boon, any boons that you get from them have a higher chance to be rare

leaden whale Dec 24, 2020, 10:50 PM

I see thanthink got the game yesterday

#

It will all become second nature over time, I'm only just getting to grips with a lot of systems even after successful attempts

queen saddle Dec 24, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

Hey, I am starting the game out ||(barely got the minotaur to half hp)|| and in other games I LOVE archers classes, but the bow here just feels... bad (2 seconds of delay to deal 70 damage, without the protection of multiple hits and barely any extra range), is there any playstyle/boon/gift to get it to be good?

drifting island Dec 24, 2020, 11:42 PM

#

if you charge your attack very soon after dashing it charges up much faster

#

usually you want boons like aphrodite or artemis on your attack, they work very well

#

personally i love the bow, i think once u get used to the charge time its very nice to be able to play at a range

You can spoiler tag a word or sentence by putting || on either side of the word - strike-through isn't the same

Or if you highlight the text, it should pop up with a context menu that has spoiler tag as an option

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 5:32 AM

my clear runs varies between 18 to 42 minutes

expect your first clears to take 25-30min

once you get decent upgrades and have a good build 20-25 min is usually the ballpark

#

this is hard

#

any tips?

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 6:41 AM

#

for that boss combat in general, hide behind pillars, get used to the bull's pattern and focus on him

#

but it's usually something you beat after a decent amount of upgrades

#

most notably more HP and additional death defiance

vivid patio Dec 25, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

kiting him into walls is sometimes more reliable than into pillars since he can turn quickly

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 6:44 AM

#

yep when he charges, go stand near a wall, dash away from the wall when he is close, he will slam into the wall

tame pulsar Dec 25, 2020, 6:59 AM

#

I try to get additional desth defiance but those are rare. the one I get from skelly's thing after I gave him nectar (forgot what its called) gives me 1 but I usually end up using it in boss 1. i feel like boss 1 is way harder than hydra

Maybe not the right channel, but I'm conflicted on buying this game. I've heard it's amazing, but I've also heard there's like, no variation in rooms and only slight variations in bosses. Part of what I like most about binding of Issac is the randomization, so idk if I'd like this game

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

the strongest part of Hades is the narrative and how it's woven into the repeatable gameplay

#

the lack of variation is grounded in its setting and narratives so if a truck ton of biome variation is what you value in roguelikes it's probably not

vocal nymph Dec 25, 2020, 10:31 AM

#

I think it's important to note that the rooms are like Isaac, they differ every run, there's just far less of them

I think that also you can enjoy the game for the gameplay

Btw any tips against tisiphone and alecto? I can deal with meg quite consistently but i struggle against the other 2 with close range weaponry

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 12:56 PM

#

The strat for meg, alecto and tisiphone are pretty much the same honessstly, the onyl thing I'd change for each of them is just dodging their unique attacks. Otherwise it's usually the same thing

#

So advice would be to understand each of their move sets first squirtnya

#

Alecto has the buzz-saw that she spawns while tisiphone makes you lose your maneuverability by decreasing the mount of space present.

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:03 PM

#

I think Alecto is pretty straightforward, just dodge the projectiles and don't stand in the circles. For Tisiphone, keep in mind that unlike her sisters she dashes twice in a row. For all the sisters you should be avoiding their whip attacks, which are pretty telegraphed.

Patience is key.

I unlocked all || six weapons and got the option to upgrade them,is the titans blood easily accessible? Are all aspects viable? ||

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

@leaden whale ||It's not HARD to get more blood but it's not exactly quick either. Certain aspects are better than others, especially in certain circumstances, but it really comes down to preference in the end.||

leaden whale Dec 25, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

Okay thank you

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

Some will say it's best to ||focus on upgrading one aspect rather than unlocking a bunch|| but I didn't follow this advice at all and I had a perfectly good time.

#

That being said, I do wish I'd leveled ||Achilles spear|| earlier. My favorite ||aspect|| now.

ocean briar Dec 25, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

man this game is amazing

ocean briar Dec 25, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

toxic quail That being said, I do wish I'd leveled ||Achilles spear|| earlier. My favorite |...

the rush one?

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

Do you mean to do first?

#

I just think it's really fun because I like cast builds.

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

i regret spending so much blood on chaos for the shield

#

i shouldve focused on the fist first

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

I definitely wasted a lot.

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

oh well, i eventually have to clear with both of them anyway

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

It's funny because the ||aspects|| I leveled last, like ||Achilles, Zeus, Eris||, are all my favorites now. Heh.

#

Not ||Eris||, I meant ||Hestia||.

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

i immediately pumped all my blood into maxing zagreus aspect for the fists cause i'm a nut for tank builds.

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

what does dodge chance do again

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

chance to ignore damage

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

oh lol

#

what lvl is max?

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

5

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

5 for 15% chance

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

oh ok

leaden whale Dec 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

So far || fists|| are my favourite parred with || arrow when you attack that launches boon||

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

Different ||aspects|| require different amounts.

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

even ||aspects|| are spoilers o-o

#

damnnn

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:35 PM

#

i initially didnt unlock the fists and the rail because i thought it wouldnt be as good as the shield since i thought blocking was broken

#

but being able to attack so fast with the fists and stagger enemies constantly is so fun

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

@dry breach In this chat I think they are, in discussion they aren't. Better safe than sorry tho

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

true

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

One of my favourites was the bow and special inflicts doom boon. Got it to epic and leveled it like hell.
Arrow spread dealt 10 damage and then the doom effect dealt 220 damage XD

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

should you priorities choosing daedulus hammer all the time?

#

im guessing you should

#

cause the upgrades are usually nutty

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

ngl ||lvl 3 chiron aspect the only dramatic change i notice is the arrows hit multiple opponents when u hold and release ur attack button/mouse||

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Upgrades can be insane but lets say you already have a very strong upgrade. Maybe investing into boosting that with boons is better than upgrading another attack of the weapon

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

||Chiron|| is SUPER strong.

#

I love it

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

yeah i heard lvl 4+ is where it shines

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

Especially with the right hammer upgrades, like extra special shots or extra damage for consecutive hits.

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

||do you get new bounties each heat level?||

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

the lvl 3 ||chiron aspect|| is great just the upgrades dissapointing until u get 4 and up to max

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

fickle mountain ||do you get new bounties each heat level?||

Spoil that

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:39 PM

#

fickle mountain ||do you get new bounties each heat level?||

Yes

#

But only if you completed the previous ||heat|| level

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

dry breach the lvl 3 ||chiron aspect|| is great just the upgrades dissapointing until u get...

Many of the ||aspects|| don't feel satisfying to upgrade, tbh.

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

oh ok

#

also is there any way i can gurantee having athena in the earlier stages of the run

#

cause i cant live without divine dash

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

You could equip her keepsake squirtnya

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

oh yeah

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

consecutive hits resets on a new combo though so you only get a max of 0/5/10/15/20 extra damage on the 1./2./3./4./5. hit respectively so in total a full combo has 50 extra damage

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

fickle mountain cause i cant live without divine dash

It is good boon

#

Make sure not to get addicted to it though

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

Divine dash is amazing but splash dash is divine

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

though i kinda such at this game and i need skelly's keepsake for 1 extra death defiance

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:41 PM

#

wut is ||heat || tho

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

i run dusas keepsake. The healing is insane

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

Its something that unlocks after defeating the final boss

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

dusas, huh 🤔

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

healing is super limited in the game and the droprate is actually pretty good

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

fickle mountain though i kinda such at this game and i need skelly's keepsake for 1 extra death ...

imo get athena's keepsake cross and u will meet her at the start of ur run and u have a good chance to get divine dash ||means when u dash thing deflect off u can be super useful in the meg fight when she does her fan attack}||

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

Deflect is great all around squirtnya

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

yup divine dash is just prob the best move athena can get u

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

i had the spear with special does deflect. Bone hydra was pretty much an afk fight

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

Nothing, literally nothing, feels better than deflecting a certain attack in the final biome.

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

stand outside its slam range and spamming special

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

The ||poison|| I assume?

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

also u should prob know like the general idea of every god's boons it helps alot for ex- are's boon help's in doing a ton of dps and a doom set would be good with him

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

@obsidian locust Indeed

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

True it does feel great deflecting that

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

how many biomes are there? never got past the final boss of the third

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Sweet revenge

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

i have a habit of spamming dodge so i often dont deflect properly, specially boss attacks

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

You'll find out @kindred gazelle 🙂

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

yeah prob dont spoil ur self

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

so many things going on its hard to keep track lol

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

tbh the map sort of gives it away...

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

unless u have the codex u will know how many biomes but just dont know the names

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

I hope there are a LOT cause i heard the game doesn't have an endless mode and i love long runs in rougelikes

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

Even if there aren't a lot, hades does a great job at offering the player replayability

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

Yeah

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

yeah

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

isaac, slay the spire, 20XX, Risk of rain 2. Most of my time was spent in endless mode

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

I'm not even competitive but I feel the drive to beat my best time with each weapon.

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

game devs should learn from hades on how to make their game replayable

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

i mean i dunno much ||but i think the biomes get smaller the further u go bec the 1st one is pretty big , asphodell was short hydra was pretty epik and the other one i got thru a few chambers eventually got wiped||

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

game devs should learn from hades on how to make their game repayable.
Oh you mean like EA?

fickle mountain Dec 25, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

||being able to manipulate difficulty in your own preferences is clever||

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

ngl in hades i rlly wished we could go outside go to olympus and u know explore the overworld i thought that could be kool .>.

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:49 PM

I slayed the || minotaur duo boss || will it take shorter to reach that boss again,it seems its really long to get back after death

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

obsidian locust I don't think that's true except for the last biome

oh kk nice

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

The number of chambers you receive can be really short or long, If you get fountain room ,shops and the npc then it feel really short. But if you get extremely tough enemies in each room, it ted to drag on

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:52 PM

Is it just me or does the (act 3 spoiler) ||Minotaur|| have a metric ton of health?

Did you fight him alone?

Or was he with a friend

kindred gazelle Dec 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

both

obsidian locust Dec 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

Elysium is just a vibe check in general

dry breach Dec 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

isnt elysium in greek mythology where hereos go when they die

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:54 PM

Yep

what does min max means? sorry

Meg the first boss in blue

#

You will be swimming in nectar, don't worry.

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

nah you might not be able to gift the person you want after every run because they dont necessarily show up at home

#

so gift whoever you want to

#

you wont be lacking nectar

#

it's like the easiest resource to come by

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

You can just trade for it if you don't have any

#

Unless you're all about the aesthetics and spent all your gems.

#

Also, remember to pet the pup.

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 2:01 PM

always pet the dog

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:03 PM

Okie got it.

which weapon should i use my titan blood on?

#

i got 3 now..

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Whichever you prefer

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

Can I reset to get the titan blod back

#

or no

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

If you stay in the courtyard, you can spend the blood and test it on Skelly

#

Then quit out and load and you'll get the blood back

#

Just don't leave the courtyard.

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

How toq uit

just literally

ESC ad quit?

ESC and quit

That's how it works on Switch at least.

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

Okie

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

I assume the same is true of PC

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

all weapons are good right?

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

Ummm

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

Or which one is easier to use

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:05 PM

#

My favorite is bow

#

The only one I dislike is sword

#

But some people feel the opposite

#

So, to each their own.

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:18 PM

#

Okay.

#

Anyway is there a guide for my mirror of night?

#

Boiling Blood or Abyssal Blood?

#

This is for the mirror of the night upgrade

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

I always use Boiling but I could be an idiot.

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

3x death defiance, thick skin, +1 dash, chthonic vitality, the rest is up to you

#

if you think it might be useful pick it

#

you can reset the mirror later at any time so experiment

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

OIkay.

#

Okay.

#

Does the Cast stacks?

#

Like if i throw 3 cast on the boss

#

Does it means I can get 3 times of the debuffs.

#

Like example i chose Boiling Blood.. 30% attack to foes on cast. Does it means 90% if i throw 3 of it on boss?

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

No

#

Doesn't matter how many there are in them

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

boiling blood does not stack, just one embed counts

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

Would be awesome if it did

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

Does Abyssal Bloood stacks then?

#

Or it doesnt too? hahaha

#

Dark Foresight or Olympian Favour ?

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Doesn't

#

As digmouse said, it's a matter of taste. I take favour

#

I mean

#

Foresight

molten marten Dec 25, 2020, 2:29 PM

If you use authority, be sure to pay attention to the door type.

Yea that makes sense

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

And Athena's Divine Dash is very helpful

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

If you’re dying to lava the second dash is a game changer

thin sleet Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

and if you get something like Passion/Tidal Dash your Dash suddenly becomes another damage component

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

Btw I have 42 darkness so far should I save it for second death defiance

thin sleet Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

also more mobility in an action game with good i-frames

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

No

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:24 PM

#

So dash is very good

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Do you have regen?

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

That’s what I’m getting

#

Yes

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Ok

thin sleet Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

how much Darkness was 2nd DD again?

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

I just used my 40 to max out regen

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

Then go ahead and save for death defiance

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

500

#

Oh and why the hell do they all have British accents

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Because they're olden time-y

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Haha yea

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Everyone had a British accent prior to 1776.

errant bramble Dec 25, 2020, 3:26 PM

#

Possibly bc the voice actors were...British?

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

@errant bramble if they’re voice actors they can easily play another accent

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

No that couldn’t be it

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

but SGG is an American company

thin sleet Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

it's more of a performance thing

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

Maybe they like it

muted latch Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

not entirely sure which country Darren is from though

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

i like it 🙂

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

me too

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

solar panther And what’s the best starter weapon

I was just thinking and I remember malphon being really simple and easy at first

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

whats malphon

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

fists

subtle granite Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

it really depends on you tho

thin sleet Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

depends on your playstyle

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

haven't unlocked that yet

errant bramble Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

The best weapon is the one you like

toxic quail Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

Yep

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

You need bow spear and shield to unlock it

subtle granite Dec 25, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

if you dislike very close playstyle fists isnt for you

solar panther Dec 25, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

oh I don't have spear yet

inner thorn Dec 25, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

Then us bow

thin sleet Dec 25, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

if you like going near their faces, Fists are good. Safety and a damn good rush go Shield

subtle granite Dec 25, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

each weapon has its upsides and downsides
