I got the saytr's one
got 50 health from it so far, cuz immediately after his boon I got a nectar room
I'm not sure I understand what we're talking about here
look at tatz on the moderators role
who specifically
Dionysus isn't a satyr, he's an Olympian if I'm understanding what Pinecone was trying to say
đ€š
He can probably transform into a satyr
I know satyrs were said to be the companions of Dionysus but this is the first time I've heard someone claim that he was one as well
I know satyrs worshipped dio
Anyway, mythology be like that and for the purposes of Supergiant's interpretation and telling, Dionysus is just another god
He's also a lot hotter in the game than he is in the stories :p
He is objectively hot
Everyone has a different perspective on what is attractive to them, nothing wrong with that. Also nothing wrong with acknowledging someone as conventionally attractive without feeling anything towards them
ı mean ı go
when ı see dusa (joke)
dusa needs more body
Dusa doesn't need a body, she's already ahead of the game

mfg
wait "hold lmb to defend"
can you block?
With the shield, yes
how come nobody realizes this
cuz it's a weapon
even though it's a shield
and cuz this game isn't the type to let you avoid attacks without dodging
so if you hold lmb then you don't take damage from the direction you're facing, no matter what?
what if you're in range of an explosive, but the center of the blast is in the direction you're blocking
do you block the explosive?
Yup
certain things can ignore your shield though
what attacks can damage you through your shield?
quick question: a daedalus boon for the twin fists says my dash strike is added to my attack sequence, does that mean its also affected by anything that effects the damage of my attack?
dash strike always gets benefit from anything that buffs your attack
oh
because it is still "attack"
makes sense
but not vice versa
things that specifically says they buff Dash Strike does not buff normal attacks
" @uneven ledge
stuff like meg's circle things
basically aoe with the weird exception of explosions
or that originates from "not the front"
wdym
oh do they always backstab damage you?
Zag doesn't take backstab damage*
oh I read behind
also, never take the myrmidon bracer if you're using shield
why?
bc u can block from the front anyways
@ this actually. Can someone piece together for me exactly what that hammer does? Iâve never been able to completely understand its intent either
It seems somewhat vaguely worded, unlike many of the descriptors in this game
also
the myrmidon bracer makes me think so much of percy jackson
cuz percy in that book series at some point has his body enchanted or smtn so that he can't die unless he is hurt in a certain spot on his body, and if he is hurt on that spot it kills him
All dash strikes get a buff, and you get an additional attack at the end of your attack sequence that is the "dash strike" but without the dash. Effectively fills in the gap between start and end of normal fist attack sequence
Ok, can you just hold the A button and go brrrrr endlessly at that point if youâre inclined?
Essentially
Thats nice
I dig that for my old man hands
I can just hold the button down and dash
Rolling Knuckle is a good hammer, imo
Without needing to worry about timing
that depends on what your loadout is
Yes
What weapon are you using? what boons do you have?
shield
but which shield? the base one?
I'd take Dashing Wallop solely because it's one for the prophecy (it's also a pretty good all around choice)
Oh, how does that work precisely? Does the stack get reset at the end of each combo? How specific do they mean âconsecutivelyâ?
Yeah dashing wallop is always an EZ shield choice
Shield has an already massive dash attack hitbox
hello
Dashing wallop makes it cumulonimbus sized
pulverizing blow wont help your attack as much as having a different attack boon, so I'd probably go dashing wallop
Very useful if you have an athena reflector attack
Ah, no, I meant it was the one that adds the dash strike. The consecutive hit hammer is a different one
Or if you're playing patient, you can go Ferocious guard
but you're fated to get the first and I prioritize that.
Wait real quick @left crown
I have no idea whats going on but ok
Divine Strike
?
oh ok
Congratulations on your blimp-sized reflector
i chose it
imagine if divine strike also worked while holding block with the shield
you can just cheese everything
Honestly the interaction between it and shield having such a gargantuan dash attack is broken enough for me
Divine Strike on ||Aspect of Lucifer|| is weird. Is it weird on all Adamant Rails?
Yeah divine strike kinda isnât the play for rail
That is how the shield behaved when the game first released in early access in December 2018, it was quickly nerfed to not reflect while blocking (to be clear, it did this without athena)
the necter one
yo @left crown you gotta figure out which ones work best for you in the build you're doing
no you can use stones to do extradamage
nectar if you're running low on health (and nectar)
ive been playing for like 9 hours and still cant figure out xD
Trippy shot is S-tier cast @analog radish đ
I almost always take Premium Vintage unless I'm going for a specific boon or build because I love me some nectar
trippy shot is generally a better choice imo
Worth giving up the damage
dud i know
but its not like hes going with a cast build
Thatâs a general answer too
also
Trippy shot is just Best Cast
trippy shot is still really good on a non-cast build
when stone stuck in them
i have all these but i dont know what they do
you can pop it to stun a bunch of enemies at once
the gem, the blood
Yeah
they're meta currencies, you can use them for stuff at the house
@left crown you're not going to know what they all do yet. Progress further and you'll find out.
Hang on to them shaggy
ohhhhh
They will become important as things unfold
ohhh ok
you han train for 1 ambrosia if oyu want
most of them aren't exactly useful straight away
thank you guys
because why not
Let's not start debating other people's builds for them in #h1-for-new-players please.
Also to that effect, please don't post screenshots of every choice you have to make asking for input, a text message will suffice 
I do think thatâs a legitimately useful thing to call out and make known
would artemis or daedelus be better for getting meta currencies?
Guys is it just me? or the bow is IMPOSSIBLE to control with a controller?
Trippy shot is generally worth acquiring when possible, above and beyond the extra damage that base cast offers
wut
wym?
or neither at all?
depends i guess
I mean like keys and darkness and crap
@left crown bow sucks when itâs new
there's some auto aim going on that makes certain shots harder. It's even worse with another weapon type later, but for the most part I usually hit what I want to.
do either ever give meta currencies?
Hammers only ever modify your weapon, has nothing to do with meta currency. Artemis won't do anything either
doesn't matter
Dont worry, itâs arguably the most broken weapon late game
But it takes a lot of upgrading
what ever is better for your run take that
ok
Not the best weapon #1
@long moss you can see all of the boons per god in your codex in game. Daedalus afaik does not give currencies.
I think Dionysus and Poseidon are the ones that affect stuff like that.
And Chaos, but yeah
what if you could talk to daedalus in like a dlc or someting
daedalus hammers have nothing to do with currencies
which shield is better? the 1st one of the 2nd one?
except maybe for hoarding slash but it sure doesn't affect META currencies
@left crown #h1-builds-and-combat
I don't see any of that stuff in the codex
No, this is still quite appropriate for this channel
chaos is generally best when maxed out, if you haven't upgraded it then it's just kinda underwhelming
You have to purchase an item from the contractor before you can view boons in your codex
@left crown I cannot recommend dropping your first 5 upgrade blood into Zag shield enough
how do i upgrade a weapon
You will need Titan Blood
Acquired by defeating bosses
And by saving up loooots of money for the last shop in Styx
and where do i go to upgrade my weapon?
Same room as skelly, when it comes available
you use titan blood for that, and it's highly recommended that you either just save it for now or be absolutely sure about what you wanna upgrade
Which should generally be sometime after youâve beaten the game for the first time
^^^^^^ this
i wasted all by titan blood
early on titan blood is in limited supply but there'll be many chances to collect titan blood later
Some weapons are amazing with only 1 blood, some weapons take 15 blood to be great but then they are B O N K E R S
when i first unlpcked aspects
yes
You can upgrade weapons starting the run after you unlock all of the 6 base weapons, which doesn't matter for whether you've cleared a run or not
do it
you get two boons but those rooms are a bit challenging
But has 2 rewards
u get 2 booons
yes no hard
Onboard
chose dio
and fight athena
Take dio
definitely choose dionysus and not athena
Piss off athena
athena cant hurt u
don't tell him what happens
There's certainly something to be said for letting players discover things on their own. If you don't know what something is, try it out and see! The game will become clear in due time if you follow this approach, and the worst thing that will ever happen is you lose a run and learn something
And thank you for the correction @old escarp. I forget how some things are unlocked that early on in the game
@left crown The best piece of advice I can give you on progression for this entire game: Every Answer Is Keep Playing
If you have a question, if something doesnât seem to be happening, if you dont know what something is for
All answers, every single one I promise you, boil back to âkeep playingâ in this game
Every Answer Is Keep Playing. EAIKP.
potato
OMFG
I HAVE TO CHOOSE KEY VS DARKNESS VS CHAOS
bruh
Whooaaaa
they are all crap
Easy girl
Chaos always
can chaos ever give meta currencies?
chaos is good for ur runs
it can make you have more of them
if you need darknes/keys chose that
Chaos can massively increase your rate of currency gain
chaos can give you a boon that increases the amount of gold and darkness you gain though
IDC about the run
"her"? smh
by meta currencies, do you mean Titan's Blood etc?
yes
Chaos is they/them
or Darkness and keys and such?
yes
not quite titans blood for chaos, but darkness and keys for sure
Meta currency is anything you can spend outside of a run
^^^
i also was confused about what a meta curence was
the dividing line is the question: Do I keep this when I die?
So Chaos would be able to give you more Darkness and Gems for sure
well
I do have 9 keys already
and I have only unlocked one stage of the mirror
so
one more key is prob the best bet
ah yeah, unlocking the mirror is top priority tbh
Bird in the hand worth 2 in the bush etc
guys
Yessss?

this was someitng form yesterdays discusion
I would prioritize keys ->darkness for now pinecone
also
on chaos
say I wanted dark instead,
chaos only has a chance of increasing those drops
while darkness is well, darkness
so I would want to pick darkness anyways, unless I have all the darkness I need, then I would pick chaos for gems, right?
Until further notice basically
there are some boons that make you get more darknes/gems
IK
Honestly I wouldnât worry about chaos too much for farming right this second
but it isn't guaranteed @analog radish
To be perfectly honest with you, youâre still not out of first gear yet
bruh
I would say that if your runs are lasting several biomes, Chaos is worth more than a single Darkness/Gem/Key room
just chose the darkthirst wepon then
If you're still dying in Tartarus often, then Chaos will be less beneficial
I would be taking more immediate rewards until youâre lasting through at least the end of asphodel consistently
^^^^^^
Also if youâve beaten the furies once then if you beat them again with the same weapon you get quite a fat knot of darkness
lmao
Same goes for every boss
Very effective way of darkness grinding
cuz they only drop titan's blood the first time with each weapon?
Yup. Use it for the +20% darkness, and use it because the diversity will make you a better player by default
Honestly for now Iâm going to answer that with a yes
The answer is more complex
But it doesnât change until youâve cleared the game
Per-weapon of course
and not only titans blood
Other rewards
Dark Thirst is a buff to Dark Regeneration
But rewards that arenât darkness
Rewards vary by boss, all rewards are always the same as you progress. Blood, diamond, ambrosia, blood
Always the same 4, always in that order
If you make it to Styx, too, there will always be an option to buy either a diamond or a blood, for 1000 or 1200 gold respectively
But again, thatâs down the road. Right now we need to get you to meet Lernie! And pat his head đ
you're describing far beyond their current spot sword, prob best let them t- nvm 
You gotta spoiler ||styx||
Yeah idk what question you were answering but "use the dark thirst weapon combined with dark regen when it's available" would have probably sufficed
Styx isn't a spoiler per channel guidelines
wait what happens if you pick a fated choice?
But there's still no reason to discuss it with someone who isn't there yet 
what happens if you don't?
Fated Choice is just an indicator telling you that you need it for a prophecy. It will remain until you pick that option
If you check the desk in your room, the fated list of minor prophecies, it'll tell you what to do
And working on them can be a nice side-project as you try and get further in your runs
oh so there isn't a downside to refusing because the prophecy is that you will eventually pick it
Yup!
I would recommend trying everything out unless it's absolutely terrible for your build, though.
the prophecies range from very minor and you'll probably get them eventually
Give new things a try.
Completing prophecies are a great way to earn meta currency early on
to stuff that you basically have to go out of your way to do but are very rewarding
shield is very cheesy
A lot of the weapons completely change the way you play.
They all have their uses.
especially if you have charge shot
There are some boon and weapon combos that are even more powerful. I had a fun one today that let me electrify everyone
How can i farm titan blood to upgrade my weapons
Im not sure which one i like yet so im hesitant to upgrade them. I like the spear i think but thw upgrades are for the special which seems bad
If you've done the first boss on all weapons, you're best option unfortunately is you have to start clearing runs
As for which to invest in, go with whichever you are most comfortable with
I was doing a good run with the adamant rail but then it felt so weak past hydta fight
to be honest that's basically zeus build in rail
Shield feels so good for most normal enemies but i died to hydra with it
the special for the spear is great
feels insane at the start but super underwhelming when you get past asphodel, even if you get really lucky with zeus appearing every 2 chambers
Idk the spear special felt so useless like the shield one
I like the shield throw
It does like so little damage
Aye someone gets it. Spear special nice
Shield throw is nice for applying effects
Is there some use to spear special im missing
2 hits
it doesn't matter how little damage it deals if you are less likely to take damage using it
Ye but i used the 3hit dash attack from hammer upgrade so idk the special seemed not good
spear special gets a backstab each time if you double cast it every time
Hmm
Assuming you've invested in Shadow Presence, that is
I think i have
backstab gets insane damage if you have the right upgrades
I havent used any alternate skills in the mirror
The basic ones seems good to me atm
Or even go for rocket spear, it's stronger but unfortuately no 2nd hit
but the 2nd hit is so good thoooo
Spear special likes big damage buffs, try it with Aphrodite or Artemis
I dont know all the boons yet so i dont always know which door to take when i havr a choice between gods
Fair enough, you'll get there in time
So attack buffs effect attack and dash strike but not special correct?
Yes
Correct
Who gives deflect
i saw someone do this crazy rocket spear build where he just spams special with swift flourish
i could try that, seems like a nice change of pace from hidden spear special spam
is it important I pet cerberus every death?
i've figured out that the tell for the spin attacks on some bosses is the outline of a circle that forms around them before they do that
but how do i know what direction they're going to move in before doing the attack?
Athena
I don't know, are you a criminal?
not knowing that has made dodging theseus and ||hades'|| spin attacks super random
Yes
I always pet doggo
@old escarp 0.o wut
People who don't pet
are criminals, is why I ask
So are we expecting to get extra levels and weapons in future btw?
Ive found a favourite weapon
You get an achievement on steam
is there atleast a benefit to how much he likes you if you pet him? or is it entirely worthless outside of making 1s and 0s "happy"?
There is but I don't want to say too much
Thats wut they want u to think

I can't remember what you mean by this lol
@old escarp so there is an actual benefit though?
thanks for not spoiling
but I want to know for sure if there is something, even if I don't wanna know what it is
I'll put it in spoilers for those who don't want to know. It's not like, major or anything but ||petting him a certain number of times is required to max out his affinity||
Oh duh
yeah duh
Technically there is no game/numbers benefit if that's what you're asking. It's just for completion or story reasons @long moss
I have to say this Pinecone person has some atrocious takes
wdym
I mean what I said, I find some of your opinions on things frankly unnerving
could someone answer this question
specifically the achknowledgement that this is a videogame and thus made of code, or something else?
not being able to bond with a dog regardless of it's seeming nonexistence is a strange opinion
why is it strange? who knows
I don't want to get metaphysical on you in new player chat
But the whole thing about Zagreus being a mysoginist was awful
Generally in the direction they're facing from my own observations
Yep
Towards Zag usually
oh they face in the direction before they dash? ok
Yep yep
I can bond with the dog
I just want to know if it has any ingame purpose
and it doesn't
also speaking of that, the spin attack of the final boss is really hard to dodge
But it does though
outside of the hearts and friendship, no
like even if i see the tell it seems like i'm too early and i get clipped by it when i dash away
Maxing affinity is a gameplay mechanic
You should try dashing without inputting attack commands
yeah redacted's spin is deceptively huge
Dash attacks take away your invulnerability frames
calling them redacted instead of saying ||it in spoilers, lol did you expect me to say their name? IDK who it is||
Double dash when you see the tell will usually dodge
is funny to me
ok
The game refers to the final boss as REDACTED
wait really?
Yes
also general policy on the channel is to say redacted as well
spoilers or redacted iirc?
Also as the final boss, even if it seems obvious, spoilering or referring to the boss as redacted is the protocol in #h1-for-new-players and #h1-discussion
oooooooh
Sure, reach the final boss and you'll see.
get to them basically
||it's more like a green circle but yeah||
I can neither confirm nor deny these rumors đ
you (Zag) are literally the only one that knows who the final boss is until much, much later into the story
wait what are the chances of poseidon and chaos having meta currencies?
athena is the easy god for angering with dual boons right?
@silk swift
@alpine ridge
Yep
No direct damage to you just makes the enemies invulnerable for a short period of time
and wait
how do you know what the furies predict you will choose?
outside of the menus where you are actively choosing
Do you mean the Fates?
Athena is simpler than most for duo rooms, dio is pretty easy, ares isn't difficult, Poseidon is deceptively easy but can catch you.
There is a book in your room which you need to buy from the contractor early on, the Prophecies all show up there eventually
I'm not sure what you mean by meta currencies.
I assume it's the meta currency boosting boons from chaos and poseidon
RNG unfortunately, use fated persuasion if you have it
meta currencies are darkness and keys and crap
Oh, okay
I'm not sure what the odds of thoee boons are, Poseidon has 1 that increases how much you get and 1 that just gives you stuff.
Chaos has 1 I think that increases gems and darkness and 1 for gold, IIRC. Don't often take those so not sure
"slamming foes into barriers"
does this include the walls of the chamber, or only like breakable pillars, or what?
walls, pillars, all count
I dunno if there's like a consensus but i like the one that makes an explosion more
how much damage is the base damage for slamming into a wall?
does fury increase just the damage for hitting the wall, or also the attack that caused them to hit the wall?
fury just affects the damage when hitting the wall, and I dunno what the base damage is tbh
yeah
it's not high iirc
is it more or less than 43 dmg?
if it is more then it is subjective which is better, cuz one is aoe one is a single attack
if it is less, the aoe is better either way cuz 350% of 43 is 150.5
and the aoe attack does 150
but like range doesn't reach 43 by itself i don't think
what if you keep throwing them into a wall over and over cuz you're adjacent to it?
and I'm pretty sure elysium and styx rooms have higher wall slam damage modifier
fury + breaking wave deals a ton of damage basically
capable of two shotting the rats if you get the distance right
I donât know how to start the ||quest for Achilles to get his companion||
đŠ
Iâve already given him the max amount of ||nectar that I can||
Same deal with meg
||you done that with patty yet?||
Not sure what u mean. I am still pretty new to this game and just trying to figure stuff out
you need to unlock his companion first lol
Thatâs what Iâm trying to do tho. I have his keepsake
oh wait
im dumb
the thing you gotta do is later on in the game
so i wouldnt really stress it yet
you beat ||hades||already?
Yeah about 7 times
well you have to do that
Thanks
if it hasnt given you the option, try opening the codex at his page if you havent yet
Ohh I havenât done that. I donât really look at the codex all that often lol
Thanks
Iâve ||given the max amount of nectar to Thanatos and got the locked heart, how do I get his quest?||
You need to ||beat/tie him in the "Death Approaches" encounter (when he shows up in a room and kills enemies for you)||. Then ||talk to him||.
Ah ok. Is it like a random event where it pops up because ||Iâve gotten him again after I got the lock and beaten him but he just left||
Yeah ||he leaves, but if I remember correctly the hearts unlock after you talk to him in the house of Hades afterwards.||
Ok nice
||how to get flame wheel's release? never encountered it||
||It's random, and only appears in Elysium wells, so it's very much possible you're just a bit unlucky. I'm 100 hours in and only saw it a few times.||
||i see. 60 hours, never seen it adn it's the last one for the achievement||
||Pretty rare yeah. Just for completeness, the well in the passage room between Asphodel and Elysium doesn't/can't have that item, only wells that actually spawn in Elysium.||
is there a way to know how many DD's you've used?
hello hello

What is the difference between normal mode and hell mode?
Congrats
Definitely a good feeling. I donât want to jinx it, but until very recently that has been a wall in my progression.
Personally, I hate the snakes the most.
the laser ones?
I don't like the creatures that shoot poison needles at you the most.
Make sure to talk to your good shade
im in the funny fight for the first time i will die
The satyrs are a handful for sure.
now clearly i should give this ambrosia to skelly
I kinda hate fishing. Stupid fated list.
the fishies are cute
I've been able to catch up to three fish per run.
best poseidon boon is the fishing one
I never got that one again
I only got it the first time where it's like
100% chance to get it
but I died
I think Poseidon's Call boon is actually pretty great.
miserably
I have seen the fishing boon maybe once after the scripted occurance.
I regret selling it
it would've been great
getting that in tartarus
đ
the amount of rewards you could get seems juicy
im not that great at the fishing game yet so
Pro tip: if you get 3 fake bobs, the 4th one will always be a hit
So who wants me to explain how fishing works
.
Think of fishing as a mini game analogous to a light switch flipping up and down
Oh my god you are not helping anyone
it's hard to explain
In this game, the light switch starts neutral and flips down 4 times, and up 3
honestly poseidon is my favourite god in this game
really like the knockback
rupture
bonus damage to bosses
Ok @sleek axle Iâm just going to take a second to address this. I don't know what your problem is with me, but you need to back the hell up. If you don't like my explanations or way of describing things you are welcome to come up with your own novel descriptions of things and help people in your own way. In the mean time, find a way to take the venom out of your voice when you address me while I'm trying to help others. âđ»
Now then, fishing.
damn living up to your name
Buddy the way you are 'helping' people is by using convoluted ass metaphors and analogies that no one gets
Fishing is a mini game with 4 OFF positions and 3 ON positions
i'm just gonna check back on this later
Use simple, concise phrases that people can get immediately
Every ON is a chance to catch a fish
Saves everyone time and energy
And every OFF is a false Bob, and the game proceeds.
My problem isn't with you it's the way you give advice
The game starts with the first ON position (chance to catch a fish) and proceeds from there
From here on out its Russian roulette with a light switch
On, off, on, off
Please stop
Now, timing is a piece of this
If you get a Bob, and you don't get a catch very shortly thereafter, you will get another false Bob always
If a catch is going to happen, it will happen very quickly after the Bob
Iâm just going to draw this out. Itâs much easier to explain in a picture.
The block feature is underrated btw Artemis
my method for fishing is just watching for the vertical flash????
Yeah that's what most people do
Though a little trick is if there's 3 fake bobs the 4th one is guaranteed
letâs move on now
anyways, theseus sucks
nooooo 
Theseus is just insecure
theseus basically relies upon asterius to do anything
without his god call or his buddy hes a dancing pickle with feet and a shield
what does forging a bond ACTUALLY do
what is even forging a bond
If you wanna be spoiled and find out, ask in #h1-story-discussion
Otherwise you could look it up
ok ı will go
It's not really a new player thing
is there a way to find out how many DD's you have left this run?
Yes, it's a set of icons showing above your health
They look like Zag heads if there are any
if you used them up, they look like empty circles
yeah i noticed that some time ago, i also noticed that the most frequent catches are 2nd and 4th
i hate this discord feature that pings a member when you redact the message
Ah I remember when I couldnât beat Meg
Congrats
titan's blood has such a gross animation
It didn't take me very long but
I tried running on a fresh file today
and I can't replicate what I did
I got used too much to having 2 dashes
and I get rekt
ykw I think I sorta want to stream rn
potato
fresh files seem hella tough, especially since you cant heal at first
fresh file is hard as heck yeah
My thing with fresh file is
1 dash
I'm not used to it
I'll be practicing to run it tho, seems like a good achievement
and a good flex
oh and also no ||demeter|| lol
3rd time beating meg! I am starting to consistently get it with spear!
what are secret stashes? is it a spoiler?
Are you talking about Treasure Troves or fountain rooms? That's not a spoiler.
its not "end boss onward"
I had to google it. The "secret stashes" at the bottom of the keepsake menu are spoilers. I'm just going to say you won't be getting those for a while and leave it there.
Yup yup, you're good
ahha
how many chambers in asphodel?
14
are you confident joker?
isn't it 12-10-14?
around the same as tartarus
Yes No.
tartarus is 15
10 really doesnt seem like a lot
Asphodel is the second biome Zagreus encounters during his escape attempts, and is always 10 chambers long; beginning at Room 16 with an overlook of the region and ending at the 25th Chamber in the Stairway Chamber.
its on wiki
also asphodel always feels shorter to me
Whoop I mismathed
thats why
Yep, 10 chambers
mathn't
do I anger artemis or dionysis?
erm
Artemis is easier to deal with imo
one is easier than the other isn't it?
I could tell you what they do if you like
please do
do you mean flower?
Artemis makes things invulnerable, dio makes little spots on the ground that cause damage and stutter you
Yup
artemis is dunter
she shot u
Why do I always mix those up
they're nothing alike
they basicaly do the same thing
Yeah Artemis makes circles that chase you
Dio makes static spots
athena big brains
artemis is big archer
They're about the same then. Dio is slightly easier but you have to watch where you step. With Artemis you have to run and dodge more.
I'll choose the one that will give me the most benefit first
my goal for dio is meta currencies
so I'll go artemis first
I would personally anger all of them just to see what they do so later you can make the decision based on who you feel is easiest to dodge
aphro always gets me for some reason
Yeah, her and Posiden for me
well
I died first
should have chosen dio
Gotta keep on dashing
um what is the trick to fishing? i am either late or early.
a white flash indicates a bite, not just a bob
you have to be really fast to catch a fish
press the same button you pressed to cast to reel it in when the cue appears
I look right above the bobber and only press catch when I see the tall streak of light. I don't even look directly at the bobber.
Yes it's subtle but it's there.
gotcha thx
I'll keep an eye out for that. I don't get the rare fish very often.
lmao its salty dud
If you get it within 0.36 seconds you have a good chance for legendary fish. You just have to be fast.
I think the wiki said it was bugged at 50% for the faster catch time
Yup
Yes, you just have to be careful about the rooms you enter and sell boons off in wells
yes
tfw you're 1 gold away from affording a kiss of styx
there is special dialogue
Diogoge
if you get to final boss with no boons
dont bully my spelling
It's verygoodyesyes

oh interesting, i guess that's a hard fight, unless Aspects get really OP at high levels
Yeah lol
most aspects are good
And Shackle
+100% damage is basically Epic Heartbreak
do chaos boons count
if u get a +60% attack from chaos
do you still get bonus from shackle?
Think so

shackles doesn't work if you have a boon that fill one of your 5 main slots (doesn't work from that slot), but works if you have Chaos/Ares boons that boost attack/spe....
I just learned recently that any attack, special, or cast boon will negate the entire thing
Which is a let down. I assumed it would benefit those things unless a boon did.
its if you dont have a boon on it, it does extra damage
Attack, get a boon, attack again
I wouldn't say it's "super easy" to test. You have to do it mid-run.
you can test that with your first boon, usually, that's not mid run

Not much thatâs easier to test in this game
As they said, you need 1 boon which happens as soon as the run starts and then you get a monster
You donât even need to leave the first chamber
But sure
So difficult
I didn't say it was difficult lol
I just said it's not "super easy"
Not compared to being in the test room and being able to do it there
The âtest roomâ in this game is pretty useless
After this run I'll give it a shot
I disagree. I love beating up on skelly.
I also love the little tooltips in the corner for when you first use a weapon
Though I wish it explained a bit more, like when weapons heal you
i just did the test, and i can confirm it's wrong: pick my first boon on attack, boost from shackles on attack disappeared but special and cast damage remained the same.
Nice! I must have read wrong, then. So much misinformation about this game. I wish the wiki were a bit more helpful.
yoooo, I never noticed the light before! that's a good tip!
I am about to fight meg
and I am VERY confident I am gonna win for the fourth time
first I have a zoom meeting rn tho
gl!
Divine Dash or Tidal Dash?
divine if your getting hit with alot of projectiles tidal for damage
Yeah I usually run Tidal nowadays but I ran Divine when I was new to the game.
me too! and then i learned to just dash EVERYWHERE
My ideal set up is Artemis/Aphrodite attack/special, ||Demeter||, Dionysus, or Ares cast, Poseidon Dash, Dionysus Call.
My friend likes Tidal Dash and then running into everyone. I prefer Thunder Dash, myself.
unless it's shield or rail which uses Zeus and Artemis/Ares
yeah sometimes you don't want knockback
iâve had a lot of success (and fun) stacking doom w rail
rail is good for stackign
I've seen you can look up boons in a similar way like codex entries, how/when do i unlock this feature or how do i open it?
GODS the gorgon + falling rock miniboss can be EXTREMELY deadly if you don't know what you're doing
I lost 2 DD's before I stopped getting destroyed by them,
dash through the circle wave without dash striking
oh wait do you mean the easy version
no I am on hell mode
so youâre have MM on?
MM?
I have minimum hell mode ||heat||
I face the hydra now for the first time
wish me luck
Hi I want to ask how I can get the true ending from hades ^^?
OK sorry^^
THE LAST WEAPON IS A GUN???
More like a combination grenade launcher and magnetic rail gun!
Not âjust a gunâ
Itâs pretty good
Especially if you get the hammer modification to your special
The missile
Didn't you know about the infamous auto machine gun equipped with a grenade launcher in ancient Greek mythology?
Smh some people.
||the reveal button showed up with the weapons||
Now you get the really good stuff
how do I decide which weapon to enhance?
Depends on which weapon you like more I guess
Play with the aspects and enhance the ones you like and do good with
Iâd argue unlocking aspects is better than upgrading early on just so you can experience all of them
Then decide what you like
nah, I think you go all in on an aspect you think you'll enjoy and if you don't you can just "give up" during the run and get your blood refunded
that's what I did a lot of the times
wait does blood refund every time you die?
I haven't beat a run yet lol
I know pine likes to do faer research so probably will youtube
No it doesnt, only when you âGive Upâ which resets to the last save
I am very grateful for you using my prefered pronouns
nah but if you commit blood and then go into a run, you can hit "give up" and it'll take you back to your courtyard before you put the blood in
(as long as you don't go back into your bedroom which triggers a save)
if you end up saving the specing of the blood, is there any way to reset?
negative
Nope
damn
it's not the end of the world though, your first few runs will be the toughest, then things will start clicking into place and you'll have more blood than you know what to do with it
source: I have 35 blood 
how do I unlock aspects?
there's certain dialogue from achilles & skelly after you unlock all weapons
^
Oh you also need to have unlocked all weapons first if you havenât done that yet
well yeah the aspects didn't exist until I unlocked the gun
so
I so far have liked spear the most
but now I have the gun
so I have to try it now ;-;
rail people either love or hate, no inbetween 
start zeus' keepsake and take attack boon
I am not gonna do that
I am gonna use the DD keepsake
fair, you'll learn to go without that keepsake in tartarus in time
I got tempest flourish epic as my first boon
this is gonna be fun
KEK AND MY SECOND IS A POM
THIS IS GONNA BE FUN
Ăber grenade launcher
dude
I think I am gonna take like 0 damage with this wep
how could someone hate this thing?
I DEF prefer this to spear
people find the reload pattern weird
And the base damage isn't very high
Most people start struggling with it in elysium and styx
If you have tempest flourish you really really want lightning attack
You want it anyway but it's particularly insane with it
^
Congrats
I got to Styx and a giant rat killed me. Oof
h8 the rats
yes
Its the furthest I got. So im fairly proud of myself.
So close yet so far
at this point i usually die at either the elysium boss battle or in styx
i once used all 3 in the temple
been getting better at elysium though
that is good progress
It took me like 3 attempts to beat Thesus and Minotaur
only 3? actually jealous 
i got all the way to them the first time i made it to elysium
died, but still
took me 2 or 3 tries to finally get them i think
Elysium kicked my ass more than the final boss
Damn
elysium is a true test
tbh elysium i think is my favorite area to fight in
tartarus is kinda boring atp, asphodel is horrible
back in beta also was the real gate for the time limit heat
real talk though, meeting ||patroclus|| can be the difference between life and death
And thats usually by luck.
whenever i get to one of the unique chambers i always feel so relieved
Same
yes
patroclus too, like he's just vibing
and sysiphus is just kinda there too
sisyphus is just there but he's alright
I imagine that Sisyphus is truly happy
But patrolclus just says "Take your stuff and leave"
im just waiting to get the patroclus/achilles favor
||bouldy is best||
same
Same for Eurydice and Orpheus
just a btw most of this would be considered spoilers in this channel 
oh no sry
O-o. Oops

Ye
yeah ig
anything that's primarily only accessible after some clears needs to be ||spoilered||
(or only accessible)
I JUST BEAT HYDRA FOR THE FIRST TIME
GUNS ARE AWESOME
Good job! :)
Nice (:
đ
guns are always the answer
Hell yeah brother KKona
elysium why does that sound familiar
because it's been mentioned over 1000 times in this channel?

@mich...
That's where all the heroes and great people go
oh I def know it then
?
I'm not going to be the 1,018th @
That's a lame number for arbitrary reasons I've decided on
elysium
lol
How long after max nectar does it take for || Meg to show up in zagâs room?||
Do I have to keep beating the ||fury each run?||
i think so
