it's funny though cuz in the short term I am taking longer to get one specific prophecy's rewards
cuz the other one was the last of his prophecy
but I'm def taking the legend
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/802613885780885566/804408972865175552/unknown.png
omfg why does this keep happening
I want the dark more cuz perm effect but I don't know if I am done being an idiot and tormenting Eurydice about her ex (just saying, I knew I should stop talking about it way sooner than Zag does and I'm f*ing autistic
Zag needs to take a hint)
Darkness is more likely to show up, I'd take Eurydice
but I wanna take it every time
guess I'll learn next run mfg
or the next
or the next
cuz the ! can only happen once per floor right?
Yes
jusst take eurydice
no
I will see eurydice again before I finish with my prophecies
and pretty sure it was already the last or this one is the last or 2nd to last
so I don't need to see her much more for story
what does mfg stand for
mario fan games? major fatigue gaming?
Yes but advancing her plot over 10-12 darkness is better
my f*ing god
Always go for her food
a christian slur for someone raised christian and "converted" to atheism
Agreed
lol
it will take 200 more runs to finish the mirror
you know slurs and swears aren't the same thing right
maybe 500
200 is overkill
You can clear the mirror within 100 runs
I wanna do both sides so I can swap without keys
I'm at 135 and only 2,000 darkness away
And that's without going for darkness each run, just naturally getting it
are you caring about completely maxing out the mirror? I don't think so
you just want enough so that if you use a key you can have the most expensive setup possible if you wish
meanwhile i'm here actively choosing gemstones over darkness because 20 obols > 5 max hp
enough so that one side is finished
I have it all maxed but one thing, so, yes, I care.
Yeah, just fated authority to go
I always go for the opposite 
idk if 100 obols is better than a centaur heart
I haven't needed keys for ages now, they've become trading items
you can need keys and still use them as trading items
you would just have to collect 1 per run you plan on changing minimum
True
But considering I have everything maxed I actually use, I don't need keys for rerolls
at the least, if you care at all abt health, 5h>20o DEFINITELY
If you need health, take the heart. If you're saving for a shop/well, take the obols.
but I could see reason that centaur hearts are worth 0o to you
5 health??? centaur hearts give you 25
centuar room and obol room gives 5x the amount a dark or gem room gives you
I was making a comparison
I’m a little over 80 runs and have about two thirds of the mirror done. Last 6 or so on one side left. They’re the expensive ones, but still. I think you aren’t realizing how much darkness you get from boss fights.
wha
I think I finished with the singing lovers lore
eurydice's items are good though
yes
but I WANT PERMANENT
yeah all of her stuff is great
NOT TEMPORARY
WINNING DOESN'T MATTER RN
PROPHECIES DO
if winning doesn't matter eurydice is WORTHLESS
then uhh for future reference sisyphus is the only ! that can give meta currency lol
^
IK that
the point is advancing permanent affects rn
Temporary gains are like multipliers to permanent gains.
I’ve gotten like four ambrosia off surface fish.
yeah you get more stuff if you don't die
and since I am not trying to win
why not fully not care about winning
and consider levels useless
dude I don't need levels to live
Then go all in on a farming build
I want darkness more than eurydice rn
Poseidon boons too
chaos is also good
Plus a few Chaos ones.
WAIT WTF
she has a ! now
she wasn't singing tho (isn't cuz there's some special line from listening to her for long)
cuz it was paused
so like
what???
wtf
uhm
it was related to her husband
nvm I guess I am fine rn
and there is def actually like another 2-3 lines to this story from what she just said
I don't think she can have a line till I talk to him first tho
so if he disapears for some reason when I next die I'll skip her that run
orpheus has a name y'know
I forgot what it was, y'know
no i did not know
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/802613885780885566/804414764020269086/unknown.png
I am buying nothing rn
ok cool
I predict with hazard bomb, I will literally be full healed this time from the upcoming fountain (the next room is boss)
Sounds groovy.
good luck with lernie
this run might win with me literally trying not to cuz I think I am gonna start F3 at full health and DDs
I WAS WRONG
I think I will still have 3 DDs tho
yeah still 3 DDs but I almost lost one lol
sometimes I do so well at hydra, and sometimes the last third I lose a lot of health
starting F3 with 96/225h
I sorta wanna sell vicious cycle
it's 415 gold guys
has artemis shown up?
lol too late now
wait wtf why would I want a duo
who cares if it can carry the run
gold can buy artemis or hermes or demeter or ares boons (all I need left before I start focusing on legendaries if I try to at all)
I thought it might be a legend or smtn
"why would i want a duo, who cares if it can carry the run" what
but hunting blades is just a good duo
have you listened to NOTHING
I WANT PERMANENT INCREASE
NOT TO WIN THE RUN
????
and besides hazard bomb is carrying the run
does that mean winning will make you upset?
no
if you win are you gonna get mad?
but wasting gold that could be used to get a prophecy would
The block feature is great. Highly recommend.
yeah :)
if you're trying to get specific boons you havent gotten yet (for the prophecy) then the codex & olympian keepsakes are your best friend
but if youre trying to win and beat the game
going for duo boons like hunting blades is objectively a good option
since its one of the few boons that are universally good regardless of your weapon/build
DUDE
MY ATTACK PIERCES FOES AND DOES MORE TO ARMOR
NOICE
(got a hammer)
I had to choose it cuz prophecy
but sounds nice anyways
oh yeah I am using olympian keepsakes each floor
don't have the codex upgrade yet tho cuz haven't done the necessary stuff for it to be visible
I caught a pokemon lol
I caught a chlam (which looks like a pokemon)
it's a clam with eyes
that's a pokemon
a clam with eyes? you mean a clam?
those don't have eyes irl
do they?
they cute
Light sensors
clams move
but yea the eyes help them see predators so they can close
tbf I don't even eat them so yeah
👋 new here. thanks for an amazing game. - Is there any news about the game getting updates or anything? Just curious to review roadmaps
Also, if we find bugs or typos in the game, where do we submit those? Have a bugzilla?
SGG hasn't announced any future plans yet for updates, dlc, or whatever their next project may be
You can also press F10 ingame to report bugs
I just remembered a bug I experienced in early access where one of the new hammer upgrades crashed the game under very specific circumstances. That one was fun
#h1-tech-support for switch
for pc
Downloaded the game 2 days ago and already spent like 12 hours. Send help
It is so good
My fingers hurt xD
One of us one of us
Looks like a fun game
I got it cheap in a whim for Hanukkah and it’s become hone of my favorite games of all time
I got it last year but I've yet to play it
Going to play it tonight since my friends been raving about it
DAMN I DIED WITH THE FINAL BOSS AT LIKE 10% HEALTH LEFT
Rip
my first time meeting the final boss i died when he was 3% hp
😭
this was my 2nd time seeing him
you just said that
i need time to type
im not sonic
on my 100th run i made a new file to see how many runs i need to win the game
i guessed around 15 and now i lost my 4th run
How hard is the game
hard to easy to hard again
it starts hard because you don't have anything
then you get upgrades
it becomes more and more easy
and then later areas become harder
Sounds fun
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/802613885780885566/804447666179932190/unknown.png
so which floors do I need to do every miniboss on I can possible to get this prophecy done asap?
idk if asterius count?
I've beaten Asterius and he doesn't show up on the list
I have not killed asterius as a miniboss
he concedes
Apparently it's only "armored" minibosses
look at the list
The pink sphere thing? I have
ther eis i think that poison one
I've beaten the rat, but didn't check the list to see if he showed up
there is that guy who shoot the poision
I did the rat
there is a mini boss version
The pink sphere is the Soul Catcher
he is bigger and shoot s3 shots instead of one
well they are in the quest
if you manage to kill asterius during the miniboss fight does he not show up for the boss?
or is it impossible to kill him early?
There's 3 in each lower realm, so Styx bosses could account for the missing 4
he shows with like 3/4 hp
its impossible to kill asterious in the miniboss encounter
they give double reward
exactly
so if you know the last fourth in one hit or within a few miliseconds...
They are many times easier and faster than the large room fights
Sack up, if you made it to Styx you can handle what’s in there
Yeah that’s one of those unintended consequences
I think they meant?? For them to be harder
lpt you shouldnt
oh i love seeing the giant minibosses get destroyed with meta builds
like ice wine beuwolf
But in reality the mini bosses are often easier
Is it only one encounter?
no
SO TRUE
normal rooms but last room is just a mini boss
^^^^^
Man I've been doing Styx all wrong
the only miniboss I find harder that I've done so far is the witch circle and asterius
@glass flower the wrong thing i did was save money the whole run to buy titan blood/diamonds
its not worth
you can buy so much more
Yeah, no way I'm saving up 1200 Obols for Titans Blood
Wait why not 👀
its such a waste
And it's like 2000 for a Diamond, right? I didn't even know you could collect that much in a run
i do that quite consistently now actually
diamond is 1k
1000 for diamond
blood 1.2k
you could buy like 3 max hp and 2 boons and maybe 2 or 3 poms with some hp
1200 for blood
But on the other hand if you can afford it it’s 50% of a run’s worth of rewards
Blood rewards*
something worth noting is that when you're faced with an alternative to the shop prior to the main boss, its always a free room (ex: Shop vs Heart right before the Meg encounter is basically a heart that you dont have to pay for)
For sure
idk its very personal choice
Success is success
oh for this i go shop if i have 250+ coins
I don't spend much on Charon's item shops, but I usually get all the boons I can afford before bosses
anything less that 200 is a risk and just go the other way
i rarely ever go to charon's shop these days tbh
and not spending money is my most CRUCIAL early mistake
i think charon's shop is only worth if you're going to buy at least 2 of his items
or if the alternative room reward is trash
bc otherwise you can just get the free reward in the other room
when you have 150+ allways go charon
if its the midshop you can consider it if you're limping
im in love with charon's heal lately
its like 130 for 70 some coins
absolutely worth take my wallet
I think the max health is almost always worth it over charon, hermes absolutely is, pom is questionable but it can be
pretty much
I tend to save larger amounts for fewer shop and mostly spend gold in the last shop
but anythin gelse like gemstone darkness keys
ye double poms is cool
can you beleive i got 3 zeus in styx and i have the req for legendary and didnt get it?
You never get permanent rewards against end of area charon, although mid-area that's definitely a consideration
well that's something i didnt know
Yeah, things like gems, darkness, and keys are in the blue laurel pool for permanent items, while things like poms, health, hammers, and boons are in the gold laurel pool for run items. The last chamber of an area is always gold laurel
Ooooooo thats handy. Thought that was all RNG
Good to know about the last chamber, I would have noticed in time but still
Didn't know that either... O=
Styx rewards are also always gold laurel
I think the second chamber is always blue if you get a boon at the start and if you get a Daedalus it can be gold? Not sure about that one though, haven’t specifically checked
could have sworn i saw a key right before theseus
Finished the main story!!!
Congrats!
Thanks!
I beat the first boss
Congrats! Now you can move to a new region...
Yeah this lava place is annoying
Made it to the second boss with no death defiance's, hopefully I win
Yikes that guy is hard
So um guys 🙈
I dont like to buck trends
But I’m looking at darkness for sale in the last shop in asphodel
Isn’t that illegal?
I give it less than a week before you eat this statement
when you realized ||hades|| has a second stage
yup!! you can do it tho i believe in you
that made me so mad the first time lol
Hydra is troubling at first. Now he’s probably the easiest.
am i supposed to fight meg again after i beat her and go through all the everytime?
Yes
She will become one of your favorite people
She’s a lot better company than her siblings, at least
there are 3 of them right ?
Mmhmmmm. The mythic Three Furies
is it random who of them i will face ?
I believe it is
Once you are eligible to face all 3
You are introduced to them in a structured? Order I think?
But meg you will always meet first
should i focus on completing the mirror first ?
Yea. Think ground hog day. Kind of an homage to early game design.
Each run you get just a little bit stronger.
do most people play on god mode?
Things get a little harder. You get a little stronger.
like is the game supposed to be really hard? even on god mode
Plenty of people do
yea that’s true
And even god mode scales
So if you are legitimately struggling then sure. Better god mode than no mode.
God mode begins at 20% resistance.
do u gain resistance without god mode
If you die. That percentage ratchets up a bit.
haha im almost on 50%
yeaa
So it fits to you
As far as upgrades. There are no wrong moves and the mirror is pretty flexible. A single key to respec is very cheap
so should i spend 5 keys on more slots?
Literally every bit of advice you will get all boils down to “keep playing”
The mirror is a good place to spend early, yes.
Those are both fairly cheap in the long run. How much of the mirror do you have unlocked?
If nothing stands out as beneficial or interesting to you, a good rule of thumb is buy whatever upgrades you can afford.
You will get stronger and go higher and collect more resources as you do this.
Eventually 4K darkness doesn’t actually sound that overwhelming.
oh wow okok
And you can literally throw away keys
dang okok ty
Sure thing. It’s not a traditional linear story, but is still fairly intriguing. The gameplay is still the meat and potato’s of the game though so just play and have fun and try lots of different things.
When you do eventually get all the weapons opened up, suggestion early is to use the one with the purple glow. You’ll earn more darkness on that run and get a better feel for the different options/play styles available.
You’ll want to be at least decent with them all. Some feel better to you and some will be a little clunky at first.
Personally, I struggle with the sword by the look of my save state.
And am pretty decent with the fists.
And the bow.
Those two weapons play very differently, but you can utilize similar builds.
Enough of the ranting though. Go play. And don’t worry about dying. It’s going to happen.
well said thank you
congrats
Way to go dude!
I beat the hydra
I consistently struggle with the enemies in elysium, the arrow and shield guys mostly. Any tips?
for archer, stay behind cover. for shield, dash and hit their back
cover can help with archers, but honestly sometimes you just wanna go aggro on them
they don’t have much health so they die pretty fast, and they’ll often try to back up when you get too close, which means they aren’t shooting you (and you can cut them down as they flee)
but sometimes cover is the best option; depends on the context
I try to blow archers up as fast as I can
Unless a room has lots of cover to engage other enemies behind
Ugh, I have 29 ambrosia at the ready but Dusa is doing everything she can to avoid letting me give her some
she is shy
hey guys! glad to be here :)) I am new to the game actually, any important stuff I should quickly get up to speed on?
Unlock all weapons and find the one which suits you best
get keys, unlock all weapons then the mirror, talk to everyone after a run
At beginning give currencies those priorities
Keys>Darkness>Nectar>Gems
When you unlock all weapons
Darkness>Keys>Nectar>Gems
And after fully unlocking (not maxing) mirror
Nectar>Darkness>Gems>Keys
i made the mistake of not prioritizing nectar over gemstones
but it's okay now because even though i have little to no need for nectar it basically gives me a free pom when i take it
how do i spend my titan blood to upgrade the weapons ?
gotta select the weapon, then there's a button beside each aspect
just press E beside it in the courtyard
you have to unlock all of them first and then talk to skelly
i have all of them unlocked and i spoke to skelly. it says only"equip" at the weapons
equip a weapon and try pressing the equip button again on the same weapon
I think you have to wait a bit after unlocking them
I needed to wait like 1-2 escape attempts
after that, one of the weapons should ||"reveal"|| itself to you and you should be able to upgrade
after unlocking the rail you then have to go on a run
i see. ok thx guys!
no problem, good luck!
ok guys. now it says reveal! 

should i focus on maxing out one weapon for now ?
If you've not beaten the final boss yet, invest the titan blood into the weapon that you think you can break out with
Because after that you'll have an abundance of titan blood trust me(I have like 15 rn and I dont know what to do with it)
Drink it
Drink what
The blood
You can drink it?
No, I was making a silly joke
Since you said you didn't know what to do with it
ok
Yeah there's so many aspects and idk what to do
I just completed the quest to break out using all the ||pact of punishment|| conditions and got 15 titan blood
What weapon do you like most so far?
15 blood is enough for 3 full Zagreus aspect upgrades
Or 1 non-zag
damn bruh big flex
Just kinda break it up
Its not that hard if you do it in groups of like 3 or 4
I did one half for 1 run and another half for another
when im at ||the temple of styx|| should i go through every path before fighting ||hades?||
depends on u
if u want time no
if u want strongk yes
but it also depends on whether the offers fit ur build
most newbies do
but trust me its best to think of a build if u want to get stronger faster
well this is the newbie chat, right?
yeah but i dont know anything about builds
i dont have much of anything unlocked yet
i still havent beaten ||hades|| yet lol
Okay I'm really debating on what spear aspect I should be investing in. Lately been loving the starting aspect too much to get any other. What are your opinions?
sure when i have everything unlocked and start speedrunning
And why is that?
u can get good builds as early as fresh file
cause its fun :3
plus gives u damage
so much damage
like what
merciful end
tf is a merciful end
its the duo boon for athena and ares
i havent found it yet
u get duos by focusing on two gods
yes i jnow
what weapon do u like using
oof fair
let me think
ares on attack for any long range weapon is good
spam zeus call for any short range weapon
do u know the little bars inside the giant bar
when even one fills up u can use it already
it doesnt have to be full to be used
i've straight up started skipping getting call
because its useless
i understand that it doesnt need to be full to be used
but it like
u can also get boons to quicken the xall from zeus and Poseidon
Don't expect to use call every fight. Save it for boss fights. Also some weapons can build call faster than others.
u can get zeus boon that makes it go up faster
last few runs i've basically gotten one use out of it and that was at ||hades||
or get thebhermes call that makes it go up automatically
Use call every fight if you luck into smoldering air
ya
i have no idea what a smoldering air is lol
its perfext for zeus call
If you are new, just focus on using call when it's available, instead of forcing it.
Don't overthink it.
bleh i have no idea how to dodge ||hades's|| attacks lol
third death at him
its getting to the point where my runs are reliably getting to him though
im new yeah
im just ignoring the existence of call last few runs
because its never available to be used
some calls, like artemis's, are better being used at the greater call
literally all of them lol
Lul
nah, dio's and zeus's are better at lesser call
because hangover can only stack so much and you don't want to be too close to the enemy for too long
.>
"dont want to stay close to the enemy for too long"
i guess im playing wrong. 😛
i do everything in my power to stay on their butts
cant damage me if i melt them. >_>
the closer you are, the easier it is for you to hit them and vice versa
outside of the bosses im mostly just stunlocking and killing them
so being close = they die faster
the bosses other than the final boss all are kinda easy so i'm able to just stay on them and do absurd damage before they go invuln
especially on the knuckles
because you can normal attack and then before the combo finishes do a dash attack and then it starts the normal attack combo again
and you can do that endlessly
and it melts bosses really fast
final boss's attacks all hit in a wide 360 degree around him so im just kinda getting my booty wrecked lol
whats a build for the shield?
use the pillars to hide when he does that
that's what the extra dashes are for
i havent been lucking out and getting extra dash boons
what do i use ambrosia for?
it's like advanced nectar
you need to do their favor first before you can give it to them
what does that mean
Characters have a locked heart, to unlock it, you need to do something for them first like talking to them a lot or sopmething
what qualifies as a lot
it depends on the character
their favors to unlock their heart is different
20 runs?
as an experiment i tried dumping nectar in to skelly and it hasnt gone anywhere
his favor has something to do with the weapons
you'll know when he asks you, but to get his favor first requires ||putting titan blood in non-zag aspects||
how many? after my last wipe i put some in to Poseidon, and Achilles
4 apparently
ares
ares what, exactly?
then artemis special plus hammer upgrase that gives 300% damage to special
ares on attack
i havent gotten any of that yet this run
artemis aid for call tho it has to charge all the way
then hunting blades or crystals
Should I prioritize getting more of the mirror or more weapons
i got the revive after death and then focused on unlocking the weapons
then went full mirror
max out dd
Ok
instead of maxing dd i got stubborn
if u r baby
especially since i realized i could take intentional deaths to heal
u will want dd
i like stubborn more than dd
because it has more value/utility
im pretty baby
im just also.. decent at games like this?
ull die a lpt in final boss
yeah
thats why u need dd
thats where im dying
u need dd for ||daddy||
u can get more dd w athena boons
I just use my dd, then pray for the refill dd guy in elysium
i'd rather use stubborn
Hey, guys! I just got in the server and I was thinking about buying Hades, do you guys have any tips?
and get good enough to beat ||daddy||
That's fine
without spamming revives
up to u dude
Add to cart, purchase for myself, install
tips:
dash is your friend
max out mirror
divine dash all the way
ares for attack
Lol, thank you.
ares cast is also the strongest
Gotcha
i like phalanx the most
this is a vague tip but
the blades cool but big bouncy boom is cooler imo
look at zag when playing defensive
Everyone can have their own opinion
mmm, I see
then learn to switch between the two so u dont focus too much at one
know that u can destroy projectiles save for lasers
hitting enemies keeps them from attacking
Ooooh
aka yellow outline
learn to time ur dash
Yellow=armored, ?=regular
successive attacks increases the damage
If they have no outline color=regular
ah, is there a ton of different variations when it comes to enemies?
Like I mean enemy types
so many
I should have phrased better
Oooh, interesting
advice for first boss is just keep hitting her but dodge when she does an animatiob
I am assuming they all have their unique color outlines
just armored and regular
they either got a yellow outline or none at all
Ohh, I see
If you have deflect you can just slam the orbs she shoots back in her face for a ton of damage
general game tips for hades is to experiment with everything
hmm, so can I deflect a ton of different attacks?
or just specific ones
you can deflect pretty much anything including most projectile attacks
Pretty much anything but projectiles are the best
Mmm, yea I usually like to stick to one meta but I will try exploring def
turn on god mode if youre baby
god mode isnt just for bad people
Since they then do damage to the enemy after you deflect them
Lol
mm, yea makes sense
And not to mention ME
Oh dang, I like the sound of that
Lmfao
It stands for Merciful End, a duo boon
me is an acronym for merciful end not them lol
Ah, see I was thinking they added a dude named "Ferragus the Slack Wyrm"
Lol
thanks for clearing it up
Np
Interesting though, is there different difficulties or is the game set on one?
theres like different settings but no set difficulties
ahh
hell mode disables god mode though
God mode, I am guessing makes you a bit more resistant to attacks or something?
I actually didn’t ever use god mode and still completed the story
Mmm, remind me of sentinel mode from doom eternal
Does the game have a lot of replay ability? Like do you have fun exploring the different builds?
yes!
Yeah it’s a lot of fun
Ooooh
the game has tons of different builds
Especially after your first completed run
wdym modes
aspects
4 aspects, not 5
There’s 4 aspects thank you
Ohhh, I see
oof my math
LOL ur all good
And there’s the ||pact of punishment||
an aspect is something you unlock later in the game that changes a weapons main gimmick
Spoilers for after first run
plus the story requires u to die to progress
^^
mmm, kinda like bloodbornes weapons?
i havent played bloodborne so i cant really compare
ohh, I see
for example changing an aspect of a shield can cause it to have a different special attack
im crying cause i cant play bloodborme affgjj
HAHA, I never got around to completing it, but I am thinking about going back to it
hmm
play hades first lmao
Yea def
hades has such a big endgame that you might wanna finish bloodborne first so you arent sucked into hades lol
Na, I still am debating whether to go back to bloodborne, it can wait for now
Alright, I think it is time I take my leave. Thanks for all the tips and have a good one guys!

wow thats lame ||there's a second phase to hades?|| >:C
is there a way to see which of my weapons i've gotten titan blood with so far?
the what?
That would be a no?
If you have it as an option to buy, it's under work orders
its not
im 23 runs in so far
its moreso plot than dialogue
nah
idk what i need to do then
It's not
you can check best run time with your weapons in the reveal thing, if its blank you havent beat the game with it yet
That too
or you can check the fated list
reveal thing?
where you invest titan blood
Though that won't show if you've collected titan's blood with a weapon
Just if you escaped
besides the one titan blood you get from meg how else do i get titan blood?
can i reset weapons that i invested and didnt like the result?
You get 6 from her, once per weapon
i got those 6 i think already
And nope, doesn't work like the mirror
i didnt understand how it worked
Then you'll get it from the final boss
and didnt realize aspects were
different styles
i thought they were like
incremental upgrades
nope
Keep it for now
honestly id just keep farming darkness until you're strong enough to beat the final boss
but there's like no use for it
nah, you'll want those different playstyles in time
look up some good easy builds online
3 death defiances?
That could be why
might wanna use death defiance yeah
You might do better with dd
nah
its better for the boss
stubborn is better
i want the per room
Then take Skelly's keepsake?
death defiance is way better than stubborn defiance
unless you're playing on ||high heat||, you want dd
try it
i did try it
oops
Why don't you like DD?
the rooms are much easier
if youre dying every room you might want to consider getting better
im not dying every room
then you dont need sd
there's a few rooms in elysium and the area before the final boss
that are easy to die in
and i didnt like losing my DD
because of that
You can buy them back via wells
and patroclus
Or through Elysium's npc room
you can if you 1. get a well 2. get the ability to and 3. have the money
some athena boons restore dds
^
which is more variance
which i'd rather not mess with
provided 1. athena shows up
and 2. offers a restore
which are further reasons i liked stubborn more
Fair
I just find dd easier to use on bosses, it's not hard to save money and rerolls for wells if needed
either that or
- hope asterius and theseus dont kick your ass with sd and die
asterius and theseus are another reason why i prefer stubborn
what why
because i almost always die at least once at them
and i dont want to waste a dd on them
thats what dds are for, to use
It's not a waste if it keeps you alive
well you're telling me to use dd for the final boss
and if i use them before the final boss
Nah, I'm saying every boss
you can purchase dds in styx
^
provided you get lucky and they show up or you have the money for them
Also
which hasn't always happened
You get 3 of them
I normally use one or two on the champions every time and buy them back via styx
Having the money isn't hard either, you'll want to save it anyway
thats 4 whole ass lives before boons and shops
i rarely have money
I never buy stuff from the early shops
dont do that
why
Do you get coin from the vases
ewwww 3 DD is so expensive
Don't buy early, it's better to save money for when you really need it.
no
its mad worth
^^^^^
facts
im gonna trust you
and see if its really worth having 3
im gonna be doubtful though
If you play well, it makes the bosses much easier
levels out the playing field a lot more
It forces you to be careful too
I like having that weight of knowing I can't get reckless and use one too early
the bosses were already easy with SB
Because my reckless runs are the ones I don't win
How so?
reckless strategies rely on thoughtful planning beforehand
Or busted builds that do most of the work
i just go face
and kill stuff before they can hurt me
which is more effective than you might think
i didnt say oneshot
You can't do that on the flaming cat beasts, greatshields, or anything else that has to be killed twice
oh
I know the actual name, I can't spell it
those are easy
Thank you, chariots
just cast
and they blow up
or depending on the weapon
you can kite them
the rooms that mess me up in elysium are when there is a bunch of armored spear throwers or armored great shields
like a bunch of them.
its hard to kill them permanently when it's low-key a bullet hell
That's when you lure one or two away from the rest and take them out one by one
Then you'll want to use aoe attacks if you can
thats what i try to do
usually if i do get that room
its before the minotaur
and usually ends up killing me
which is why I like SB. 😛
Artemis blessing and double jump?)
what is a double jump
Double jump?
In the dark mirror of nikta, there is a bun for 2 dash in a row
Hah, good
Still it will work out, do not despair!!
Otherwise I'd say just keep moving and go for backstabs
i havent been able to deflect the spears
yes
thats what i do
"keep moving and go for backstabs"
is the only strat i've found that works for that room
What weapon do you play with?
whichever is purple
Eh, I've used a bunch of strats.
Picking them off with the bow, aoe on hera is great too
Using the shield to block attacks then charge through to repeat it
Buffing Talos' special and dragging them too me as I drain health in seconds
etc
i hate the bow lol
I love the bow
Yes)))
Not having that range feels eh
i like the fists and the spear the most
but i use whichever is purple
because i want dat 20% darkness
If you've got it unlocked, try the aspect of talos on the fists. Your special will pull enemies to you, which helps to pick them off one by one.
Spear with Poseidon's blessing to fold back
because i wasted it
What'd you spend the blood on?
Max Zag or?
Ah
Arthur's sword
Both are good though
i dont really like them tbh
Heck, I don't think there's a bad aspect
i wish i could refund the blood
^
thats what i do
You might discover a playstyle or build you really enjoy that way
thats what im trying to do
I have one achievement missing in steam !!!
which one?
Just tell me the name, I've got steam pulled up so I can check which that is
or dm the one you're missing
Is there any condition to trigger Achilles Locked Heart Event? I'm already did around 80 run. Most bonds are already fully unlocked. But no matter what - Achilles won't trigger.
I think you have to help ||Patroclus|| to unlock his heart
whats a locked heart?
After you give someone enough nectar then they have a locked heart. To get rid of a locked heart you have to do a favor for that character.
Each character has a different favor you have to do
^
How can I help him? I already talked with him as many times as I can. He doesn't even have anything to say to me anymore when I meet him, and I also at his locked heart point.
You need to talk to this character or help in his request, then it will open and you can improve your relationship with him
You have to talk to him ||and Patroclus enough to advance their storyline||
Have you ||reunited them|| yet?
Well, || Patroclus || have nothing to tell me anymore. It mostly one liner, and I don't see any exclamation mark on top of him. Achilles does have exclamation mark, but 80+ runs, and he didn't open the quest to me yet (and his the first I maxed out).
Nope. Do I need to actively do something? or it's by talking with them?
||You need to talk to Achilles and Patroclus enough times for Patroclus to mention a code phrase that he requests Zagreus to tell Achilles the next time Zagreus sees Achilles. Afterwards, Zagreus can purchase the contract binding Achilles to the House of Hades.||
How many dialogues does Thanos need to give a companion, who counted?)
||Note that access to this contract also requires that you have freed (at least) one of Sisyphus, or Orpheus + Eurydice, from their respective contract(s). ||
Yea, I checked the Contractor couple of time. It's not there 😦
And Nyx is also maxed already. And she indeed help me with the previous || contracts ||.
Make sure to talk to Nyx also
I did. All of them.
I talk with everyone every run 🙂
Then it's just time till the game gives you progress towards it
+++
Well. Perhaps I have been unlucky.
Just wait I guess
Hope it's not a bug or anything.
Who completed the entire storyline of the game?
Also, if we already talk. I use the || Lyre || every once in a while. Can I just watch some TV and click on it for an hour or so? or there a limit on how much you can "Advance" it per run?
