So I killed a big madusa head and a rock skull and was promptly killed by some weird ass skeletons idk
Happens
||grandma|| is post final boss appearance so it is considered spoiler territory in this channel
So ||demeter|| is a spoiler in this channel since you have to have reached reached end boss once to unlock
Next time please spoiler tag the name
||so i keep seeing a guy called thantos in rooms sometimes and i am wondering who he is and why he shows up as there is no mention of him in the house of hades ||
sometimes i get more rewards when he shows up but other times i dont
oh my bad
He’s the incarnation of Death
where in the house?
oh
ah
He will always be at the balcony if you encounter him out in the underworld.
He's ||Nyx's son, and Hypnos' brother.||
||And also a good friend of Zagreus, as shown by the dialogue in the first enocounter and after giving him more nectar.||
The reward from him depends on whether or not you got more kills than him in that chamber. It's always a centaur heart.
man I love it when i go into a centaur heart chamber and then than appears and i win
thats +50 max hp
even better if you have Life Affirmation
more from the chamber reward itself
don't think it applies to the than reward, though
Nope, it doesn't seem too
I didn't say anything!!!
Ah
Okay nvm it's finding words within words
What's a blitz disc
for zeus shield its the new special
It changes your special with the aspect of Zeus to act as a floating spinning disc, allowing you to attack while it's out.
essentially you throw it out, its pretty big, and is a slow projectile that constantly deals damage
^
its pretty cool
Oh, is it good?
Great for lots of crit chances, tons of lightning, etc
my favorite shield aspect
I wanna try just building like
I prefer Chaos but Zeus is great fun
Tank mode basically
get arthur sword lol
Just. As much health and as much defense as possible
Yeah, that's Arthur
arthur sword gives you i think extra 50 hp
You start with an extra 50 health
I can't yet
but it is slow :3
True
That sounds awesome but I can't get it yet
You'll get it in time
also the special leaves a circle of slower projectile, lower damage recieved, and traps dont trigger
yeaaaa
For now, I'd try everything and see what you find fun
Zeus shield sounds v fun
like in wiazard of legend i didnt know what i wanted to do until i messed around and found out the dumbest stuff
it is
i like it
Honestly, I've found some of my favorite builds by just trying random stuff and seeing what I could make of it
yeaa like one time i was like "huh i wonder if ares cast works on hera" and then i tried it
and it kinda does
you need hunting blades tho ;w;
I haven't tried Ares cast on Hera tbh
It seems weird lol
But I suppose it beats ||Demeter's cast?||
i mean yea demter cast imo worst cast
like for ares you at least get a couple hundred by the time the casts get to far
just take like stygian and hunting blades
and the dem/ares also works for it
Her cast is in a weird spot where it’s either garbage or insanely useful if it gets built up
With absolutely no in between
which makes it mostly garbage :((
I'm currently running Hera with Stygian for Than's 30% damage achievement, if I run into Ares I might give that a shot.
Yeah, her cast needs other boons to be useful, even the base cast at least gives you the mirror bonus for staying in enemies.
How it doesn’t at least inflict her status curse out of the box is utterly beyond me
i mean its like that for balance imo
no other cast besides aphro inflicts a status out of the box
and aphro is smol
I get around this by simply not understanding how cast works
so it has an excuse
lmao
And therefore like never using it
casts are good
but tbh if you arent using a cast weapon or trying for a cast build its only worth for the boiling blood damage
but once you do use a cast weapon you can hit crazy dps
Hmm what's a good keepsake for zeus shield
like a pos sword with athena lightning phalanx and mirage shot dealing around 2-3 thousand after the casts
zeus lol
zeus works good with zeus shield
...that. Makes sense
^^^^^^
I may not have the brain cells for this build 😂
ummmmm athena is also decent especially if you get ME
dio and dem are viable from what ive heard
and you can do some wacky ps setups
I like Zeus shield w Zeus special & then Athena/Artemis/Aphrodite/Ares attack
And then something w Poseidon knockback so I can try for sea storm 
Artemis special could be insane with how many times you're hitting things, that's a lot of chances for a crit
imo high white damage doesnt work too well on zeus :/
unless its arte
its more of a ps weapon
Ppl are out here using athena boons beside Devine dash?
Meant Zeus special 
Lots of things can work incredibly well for zeus shield
lmaoooo yeaa
I’m auto typing oop
But for My First Zeus Build, it’s time to take that billowy white keepsake and get zeus’d up bro
Attack better
It's not always what you want tbh
you need at least attack or special for ME tho
athena is legit great
and ME is pretty epic on zeus shield since its always on them
Sure, the deflect is great, but it's kinda weak for a dash damage wise
Athena is boring
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking she’s lesser than just because she’s not spectacular
i agree
^^^^^^^
like she's really powerful but just imo boring
Oh, she’s great for sure
Athena has incredible safety and A-tier damage output for good base weapons like shield
That's why you take Athena with someone more flashy
Athena zag shield + dash strike hammer = invincible
I don’t disagree
Do you tho
She’s not my fun choice to make big kabooms
After a while yes
I just wanna get to the mcfrickin surface
But boring will win you more games than its given due credit for
^
many more
I’d rather have epic dps then great defense
Sometimes that defense saves you
lol me too
Ye ye, but still
One less hit then normal could make or break a boss fight
like when im min maxing im min maxing for damage
since like, if i kill them first then i cant get hit :3
oooo me and a friend in this server did some theory crafting
and we did the math
No maths
How high did y'all get?
Maths evil
and if you have an absolout god run with perfect rng you can hit like 25k with bow HA
Wao
Oh my word
but that was a lot of boons that might be physically impossible to get in one run
ah yea
Not really?
It is
You can get it before the end boss
You have to reach surface 
It’s mods words
I agree it's a spoiler, just not for the same reason
then we can have fun
Some things just be spoiler ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well, I’m gonna jump back into my living dex building
This was just the kind of short break I needed 
just call all the hidden aspects “hidden” bow gun sword etc. everyone will know, that’s all I do : )
Wait if I kill more does than thanatos he gives me stuff??
:0
Yeah, if you beat or tie him
It's great when the room already gave you a centaur heart lol, two for the price of one
but keep in mind its not altered by life affirmation :3
the heart you get from thanatos is always the +25
^^^
Do you unlock new aspects by fulfilling prophecies?
Certain prophecies, yes.
But in general no
And only 1 ‘secret’ aspect per weapon.
nah
you need titans blood
you get it from killing first boss and last boss
one per weapon if this is your first time escaping
no?? none of them are tied to prophecies
they have prophecies
but the aspect is not locked to it
the hidden aspects need
1: the spear one unlocked via having 5 other non zag aspects unlocked on any weapon
2: 5 blood dedicated into the weapon you want it for, i.e. 5 blood into bow for bow aspect
3: talk to the npc after those reqs are met and you get the "waking phrase" and you need 3 blood to actually use
the pins in #h1-story-discussion have the reqs and npcs in the pins if you want to know the specifics :3
I just got such a good run
I was 1 attack away from beating the game
I learnt a lot about duo boons tho
I can now beat the third boss consistently
And only use 1 dd
Very rarely use 2
nice
I’m on my 31st and was wondering what run you finished your first time playing
Oh
I only started playing Hades yesterday and have had like 15-20 runs and still haven't beaten the first boss and only made it to her twice. 🙂 I am very bad at videogames lol
I am once again asking not to die like 3 hits from beating the final boss
Is the final boss the... Duo at the end of the third area? I am on my 14th run and i just nearly nearly beat it
Alas
Good luck! 
nah
I'm on run 70something and i have beaten the champions twice :')
i bit the bullet and turned on god mode bc i am not gonna make it in a tollerable amount of time otherwise
Took me 80 runs to get my first clear, so keep at it and you'll do it in time
I wanna seeeee ||MY MOM||
30 runs to beat end boss on hell mode (13 hell mode, 17 before switching to hell mode)
I will say that shield is the way to go for first clear, and some specific duo boons
but you will just get there so there's not a need to stress, you build up a lot of power eventually
Just use what you like tbh as all of the weapons are good
all weapons are totally good, I just found being able to block during the bosses to help a lot at first
What happens if you give a God like a whole load of nectar? Have they got side quests too?
well first off, they build relationship like any other character and have bonds able to forge, (which are necessary post game for story). Outside of that, some do have prophecies but nothing more than that. and even then i dont think the prophecies are relationship bound, just luck. but i could be wrong on that front
iirc hermes, posiedon, ares are the ones with prophecies
🥳
i swear if they say shield
like i get that its a beginner friendly weapon but still :/
Nothing wrong with it
Fists are fun
It's a perfectly good weapon
Yet it was my third cleared weapon lol
it is but like, geez is it overused ngl
Oops
I didn't know ||he was gonna pull the whole "two health bars" thing|| but i pommed up my Artemis call and got lucky
because im not a fan of shield i waited till 10th clear to use it 
Not a fan of shield and never will be
Zeus shield is the only shield I will use
i just have better options
I like Zeus and Chaos
I'm just happy I got a clear
Honestly, Chaos with charged shot becomes like the bow
It’s my go to hammer, just for that range
I like the fists bc uhhh punch punch
Also I got a hammer upgrade and got to high kick my enemies in the face
lol what was the build??
I don't remember
You can check the admin chamber
Uhhh
Well, yeah, but there’s a way to see what they had
I had it unlocked way before my first clear so
ok weird
Artemis aid level 3, Devine strike level 2, deadly reversal, deadly flourish, strike, rush kick, deus ex machin, life affirmation, deathless stand, tidal dash, hyper spirit, breaking wave, rush delivery, dark thirst
I distinctly remember not being able to see my early clears for a little while
But I could be wrong
ooo thats really good ngl
athena attack with deadly reversal
on fist
and rush delivery is very good if its the boon im thinking of
Yeah that and the Artemis call saved me
Artemis call is great
yea i like it :3, just needs a faster weapon tbh
and since i use bow normally i generally run like aphro call
hehe the 2 very simpable gods are my 2 most used calls i think
and below arte and aphro would have to be zeus and pos :3
just good calls
God the clear took me 33min? A speedrunner I am not
21ish for me
like my fastest without trying is like 14
and thats cuz i was playing rama
and kinda fast
i wasnt even trying
i just got a sub 15
I wasn’t even trying tbh, I just buffed/spammed Talos special and pulled everything to their doom
Melted Asterius
not a fan of talos ngl :/
I can’t use it correctly but it’s fun
I was trying very hard to clear in the first place and I'm glad I finally managed it :')
It’s a great feeling, isn’t it?
hehe now do it 9 more times
Yes but also ||VERY SAD BECAUSE THE ENDING ||
Ah, yes, emotional pain
oh theres more than that 1 clear
I wanna try again but I think that would slightly melt my wrists
hence why you need to do it 9 more times
heh yea lol
Yeah
oh ill let you find that out :3
We can’t confirm or deny anything.
just wait about 6 more clears :/
^
whats the best weapon in yalls opinion
I enjoy the bow the most
everyone has their favorite based on their style
for me it's probably shield in general, or the hidden fist aspect
I don’t think there’s an actual “best” weapon tbh
BET
how many runs did it take yall to beat the game?
Main story? Uh, around 100
But counting the rest of the story stuff, not done yet at 160 runs.
theres more after the main story?
hehe 17 for main story 😎
and like 70 for epilogue
oh so this gets hard
took me 60 to beat hades himself, just surpassed 100 runs trying to get everything else
there's beating the final boss once. then beating the final boss 9 more times. then the epilogue. then finishing all the other side stuff for the various characters
oh cool
not hard, it just takes a while
i just started the other day and its becoming one of my fav ga,es
since its just dialogue after the main game for the epilogue tbh
It gets easier as you play more. Even if you're not using god mode
no gameplay really changes
is there good replayability?
story wise
Story-wise, I do think it's replayable
theres a few funny thing s you can get for going fast but outside of that not really
1 file and you can get what it has to offer
I've done 80+ escape attempts and there's still new stuff
although once you finish the epilogue there's not much more
Storywise, yeah, but mostly due to side plots with the character hearts
But mostly just pure gameplay to bring you back
and you get hearts by giving nectar?
Yep, you give nectar and eventually ambrosia
alright sick thanks guys
Pog I made it all the way to the minotaur fight my first time beating the bone hydra
This isn't true
||you start playing with Heat and the game changes a lot as you add more of it||
It’s still you playing it again & again 
I mean,,, literally all roguelikes be like
If you think ||0, 32 and 50|| have anything in common besides your weapon and the enemies 🙄
||I assume you unlock heat once you clear one run||
Yes
Or if you play on Hell Mode.
But I wouldn't recommend it until you do clear a run anyway
Technically it isnt even a post-final-boss spoiler 
what's considered spoilers in this channel is based on a non-hellmode file though 😉
This game is easier than I thought it would be I got it two days ago and I just got all the way to the final boss and even got them down two a quarter heath before I died
Don’t spoil the end boss name - hide in spoiler tag or just write end boss please >.<
Ok sorry
I think the name is they least spoiler-y part
Ye, but it’s still considered a spoiler in this channel
(spoilers) ||Does fighting Hades the 10th time make his fight harder? I just want to know if it's harder or not. ||
No, it is not unless ||you activate Extreme Measures 4||
not gonna spoil the game for him
Ok
10th clear? it's definitely not
Dun spoil it tho 
Good luck! 
I know you can do it!
Thank you! I just beat him the first two times today
I'm currently trying to catch up on the ||entire codex|| before I go for another run
ty
10th clear is ||entirely skipping the fight||
I just wanted to know ||if it was harder||
hey i played a lot about christmas but stopped. now i might get back into it so whats a good build i can run? i have hera bow, chaos shield and eris gun. none fully upgraded but a bit. and ofc the standard weapons. if someone wouldnt mind id also like to post my mirror and someone tell me how to fix it in dms?
||This made me so sad because I was sure I was gonna get a pb on that run||
This chat looks like a CIA dossier
How do you know what that looks like 
redacted
*SCP fanfic
Hey! recently just got the game in the Steam sales and I'm loving it! Still trying to figure out which weapon is best though. Any thoughts?
i think everyone here agrees that there is no "best weapon"
it all comes down to what you enjoy playing the most
personally, i feel like shield is the most beginner friendly and imo bow is stupid good
but thats just my 2 obols
lmao yea
Bow is just stupid - nothing good about it >.>
That's fair. I find myself jumping between the sword and bow quite a bit now
Think you meant shield
No
i beg to differ
Then beg

If the bow is bad then hidden spear is the easiest weapon to learn
the pleading face
spoiler hidden aspects :/
That is just NO
Evil aspect

Yeah, my bad
bow is high key best weapon

Nayeon best twice member will hear no other opinions
It all depends on playstyle in the end 
As these convos always do
Oh, didn’t know she was in twice 
Ty for letting me know 
I could tell ya none of the aspects is trash
But you'll have to come to that for yourself
It would be nice not to spread non sense to the beginners here :)
How does Sturdy stack?
yea its another boolean condition, if it could stack that would be busted :/
Folks, I have a question about Hades for Steam: can I still get its achievements when I play offline?
I don't dislike the bow, I just find it kind of awkward to use without certain hammer upgrades
I can't say it's the same for all of the games on Steams with achievements but Steam is able to keep some information offline
So when you play offline nothing happens but once you're able to have the connection back, you may have a lot of achievements activating
because Steam and the game remember
im having war flashbcks to me 100%ing ori and it was offline but when i went online none of the achievments activated ;w;
i was very sad
it was ;w;
and then i never touched the game again
but im wanting to get will of the wisps
See, I’m scared of this lol
Yeah! But do we know if Hades (the game) remembers?
Me too! Just gotta wait for the next good sale
nice
Speaking of the weapons, not including any aspects (except for the Demeter one and Zag Sword one that I’ve unlocked thus far), the one I’m having most difficulties with is the Rail
I adapted to Malphon!
But not the Rail. Not yet
The reloading time still catches me off guard
Try and use that reload time to dash, use your special, etc
That way you're not defenseless during it
I do, it just needs some getting used to, is all
Mostly cos I get immersed and caught up in battles and trying to attack and avoid and stuff that I don’t exactly keep track of the ammo before I’m running on empty and have to auto reload again
Play/upgrade zag rail for a while to make your ammo window much more forgiving. You’ll get used to it
Also in case no one’s given you rail 101: put zeus on attack. That’s it, that’s the build
Me too! Just shoot, quickly peek at ammo, reload while dashing around/special
Huh. Maybe I just don’t use the rail much, but I don’t remember ever matching these two. Will do next time opportunity arises!
Yeah it’s going to feel like a big 5head moment when you see it
Zeus on rail attack is a recommendation so universal it borders on boring
because it’s just that well suited
ummm
guan yu special build
you literally only press special
hestia
you press 2-3 buttons the whole game
Hidden fists dash run?
I've also done a special only run on Talos, abuse that magnet pull like crazy
oooh i like talos
I mean less "least buttons used on the controler" and more "Least button presses across the board" which 🤔 specials could be good for
its probably just secret spear special build
You'd need something that hits like a truck
you just have to move, dash, and special
i know w some builds i get demeter special and everything in tartarus just 1-2shots instantly
chiron is also small brain
you only press like 3-4 buttons
dash, attack, special
and cast for boiling
four buttons on controller
hestia literally one/2 shots a lot of built right
Chiron can be done without casts too, if you want to remove pressing that
you have to manually reload for that right
that sounds like a good shout
yep
dash, reload, attack
thats it for hestia
Yeah, Hestia is all about the reloads
or you could just use secret rail
i like to rebind reload to L since i dont open codex anymore
reloading is. hard >.>
makes it much more smooth
because i dont use special on that
I put codex on left stick and made reload LB
is LT anything? rebinding could work if i do that
It is
LT is companions
But that can be moved
ah yea then freee button for the time being :/
just make sure to rebind it once you get companions
o7
mostly i wanna do more runs but my current playstyle is getting super buttonmashy which isn't good for my wrists 😔 but I'm like, smooth-brained bad at videogames so I'm not sure how to adapt it
ooh that's true
my play style is very button mashy
because i play zeus shield
and i just spam special and attack all the time
I play demeter fists so it's just
pretty much the same
I did it with the codex, it works
You're not in the middle of stuff when opening it so it doesn't matter
that's a good point
yeets codex to the barren wasteland of left stick, never reads again
Poor Achilles, all his hard work won't get read
is Sweet Nectar (+1 level from poms) retroactive? will it affect previously gained poms?
no it only affects poms you get afterwards
thanks!
what's an afk build?
oh idk :/
if it's afk.. playing without playing?
yea thats why i thought about the afk revenge builds
It’s a meme
And yes, thats it. Trying to use revenge boons exclusively to deal damage
Ohhh
I stacked a buncha revenge boons and got my second ever clear so 🤷♀️ can't be all bad
So… we built the perfect run in HADES in which we could defeat the final boss, Hades himself, without doing anything; without pressing a single button. Enjoy the madness!

Check out our latest video HERE:
✦ OUR GEAR ✦
Si...
just
thats an example of the absolute luck you need for a build like that to work
Oh wow
Revenge seems to work in my favor tbh
If I get revenge boons, weakness, and chill, it really reduces the tunnel-carpelling buttonmashing I do
AFK builds are risky, you have to have enough health and defense to survive long enough, or really high damage and hope you can take the hits.
question, ||how do you unlock the last weapon aspects?(I'm new to this game ;-;||
ah the hidden aspects are very specific ngl, its in the pins in #h1-story-discussion
but if you want a tldr essentially you need
1: spear hidden aspect unlocked(5 non-zag aspects unlocked and talk to ||achilles||)
2: after that, 5 blood in the weapon you want the hidden aspect of in whatever aspects it currently has i.e. putting 5 blood into the sword for the sword one
3: hope you get the dialogue and talk to the respective npc
^^^^^^^
It is a bit weird tbh
yeaaa its really specific
I got lucky with getting the first but the rest I had to look up to get fast
does unlocking other aspects count as spending styx?
yes i think
The blood? Nope, they just become an option to spend blood on to get
It’s like before you buy any other aspect (like Eris or Chiron)
hey could anyone tell me how to get another diamond i really want to fish
kill the hydra with all 6 weapons give you 6
so each time i get another diamond?
you first kill using the weapon ||on a certain difficulty, including normal||
repeated kills do not
just do some prophecy if u havent
Hey guys new player here and i cleared the game for the first time. I was wondering, is there also a scenario where we will have to fight Cerberus? 🙂
Who gives the boon of the rapid fire arrow but you lose the power shot?
||no||
its a hammer
ah too bad
i mean there is technically one appearance of him in that one battle but its still far away
ah ok cool
yah i was just wondering since i fought Chayon too for the first time i was kinda hoping that be a thing aswell 😂
cerberus will ||get summoned by hades if u played EM4||
i dont even know what EM4 means
is this game still receiving new updates and content btw?
The devs haven't excluded this possibility yet but there's no news about it
kk thanks!
SGG rarely releases dlcs so take that what you will
||Extreme Measures is a pact condition, you should have it unlocked since you beat redacted||
Kk good to know
if i give up in the first chamber does it count as an escape attempt?
if you give up then no
Give Up brings you back to your last save in the courtyard
I believe it's regardless of where you are, which is odd
u can kill urself with the hidden spear however
huh?
i assume the question about giving up in the first chamber is to farm dialogue progression and affinity (giving nectar to god you want with chosen keepsakes) by dying very early so u can reset
so instead of giving up, u can just equip the hdden spear and die from the mobs, ||use the damge increase heat for more effective||
i have been gone from hades for a while and im looking to get back into it. so can i dm someone to talk about build and stuff like that?
try chatting w/ ppl in #h1-builds-and-combat
ok
I was today years old when i learned you can hold y to attack with the fists

You can also hold to attack with rail
I knew that, it's a machine gun it goes ratatatatatatat
There’s also an upgrade that makes it so you can hold to attack w sword 
I have a weird question: do all the portraits of the characters when speaking blink?
I think only a few of the Olympians blink when I observe, and I don’t know if it’s my computer or..?
Hold attack is super useful for me! it's why i like flurry shot
ngl i LOVE flurry shot
Flurry shot is great, but the not the best when you're trying to also use your cast/special for Hera, Chiron, and hidden bow tbh
Those feel better with the normal shot to me
that makes sense! mostly I'm building around my limitations in terms of physically playing the game
so pressing fewer buttons is better, stockpiling health and keeping a distance is better (don't have to spam dash), revenge effects are GREAT
Yeah, whatever suits your style
I love bonkers big damage numbers and playing for dps is really fun
but I can play more if i try and build like, tank-ish
Whereas I'm more of a glass cannon and focus on just damage and curses
I love how many ways you can play this game
I agree!
It's like, with all the combos and the heat system and the aspects and the keepsakes you can get basically infinite different runs
^
Do I discuss ||heat|| in other channel?
hi guys

Im playing this game like for 2 days xd, so I cant beat hydra. Also I have question about nectar? What should I do with it?
I just give it to Aphrodite
XD
Give nectar to whoever you want really, but I'd give one to everyone at least, since they all give a keepsake for the first gift.
yeah I saw, Aphrodite gave me a rose
anybody that you can talk to you can give nectar to
Yep
I suggest giving to Skelly or Cerberus
also you should be upgrading your mirror after every run
Aid? ))
?
will do
I can give it to Aidos (Aid)
As for hydra, try to focus on one head at a time & swap if you get swamped
Language?
who is aidos
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aidos#:~:text=Aidos (Greek%3A%20%CE%91%E1%BC%B0%CE%B4%CF%8E%CF%82%2C%20pronounced,which%20restrains%20men%20from%20wrong.
Aidos (Greek: Αἰδώς, pronounced [ai̯dɔ̌ːs]) was the Greek goddess of shame, modesty, respect, and humility. Aidos, as a quality, was that feeling of reverence or shame which restrains men from wrong. It also encompassed the emotion that a rich person might feel in the presence of the impoverished, that their disparity of wealth, whether a matter...
they are not even in the game
Not even in the game no
lol
bruh
so who is that fat boy
Who??
with Cerberus
lmao
That’s your dad
hahah
the reason the game exists
yeah I already know that
hehe called hades fat
Do you get any bonus if you beat a boss without taking damage?
Alright thx
You get bragging rights though
lol yea i did final boss hitless one time without even noticing it until i got the run accolade thing at the top of the stats
Nice
What happens when you die in Hades? Do you have to start the game over again?
yep!
thats the entire genre
you go through the same areas but every time you die you restart it but stronger with experience and permanent upgrades
Oh ok, I think that would frustrate me so I'm not sure if I would like it. Is it difficult for a new player?
Depends on the person really
Yes, but very fun
It’s the rogue like genre that’s like that
No two people are the same
Ok thanks everyone.
Will say that in this game dying isn’t always a bad thing
Gets you more story too
I think I'll try it :)
beated

Congrats!
Teseo is next 😠
next time
what kind of witchcraft do i have to work for rail to not SUCK
i can't damage those wee eyeball dudes fast enough to stop them turning back into soldiers
ok
do i need to unlock hidden spear aspect to get hidden sword aspect?
you dont need to buy it
but spear is easy to get
but you need it available for every other hidden aspect
just have 5 non zag aspects unlocked and talk to ||achilles||
you should get it just by reaching final boss and talking to achilles
yea no need to buy it as raccoon is saying
mhm
kinda poopy
but like
its how it be
i mean tbf its not super hard to get and spear is my fave weapon anyways
okay so I dont gotta buy hidden spear
my favourite is fists and i want hidden fists bc apparently you can like claw someones face off
i have hidden spear unlocked but idk who will give me hidden sword
you need to spend 5 titan blood on the weapon then someone will talk to you about the weapon
in case of sword it's ||nyx||
if you want fist just invest there tbh
if you want you can go to #h1-story-discussion and in the pins how to get each hidden is there :3
i want sword bc i heard its good for being tanky and i like being tanky
but i also like shield... decisions
imo shield is better
I had a really good shield build last run :)
cast weapons are crazy
if you want tanky just go shield yea
hidden sword aspect is good tho
but imo its more to the attack power
sorry!
I had zeus sheild and blade rifts and a boon on me special and it just. hit like a blender
haha that's identical to the build i used for my first victory
zeus shield is really good imo
i love combining it with blade rifts and just. "hit me baby one more time" boons where you put a status effect on everything when you take damage
tru
revenge boons + zeus shield + blade rifts = barely beyond braindead build, like you gotta aim but thats it
its like. glasgow coma scale 6 build lol
how do i kill hades with stygian
get ||arthur|| aspect
ok but in actuality its just the same as every weapon tbh
look at his attack patterns and hit him after the attack
spend 5 titan blood on stygius and talk to ||nyx||
then you should be good already
thanks
np
tbh you dont need ||arthur aspect|| lmao i was joking
but it is good so might make it easier
i have sytx aspect
wait which one is that?
the one that gives you high crit
oh nemesis aspect?
no wait its nemesis sorry
yea that one's good
tbh all the stygius aspects are good
its just that stygius can be pretty hard to use when youre starting off since you need to get close
i was really reckless so i died a lot using it lmao
same
stygius "heal on hit" and "do nothing but slash two times really really fast" hammers is pretty much a guaranteed won run for new players
face tank everything while holding down A
oh
beat hydra and you should get one :3
np :3
today couple hours ago i did my first escape, i'm very proud of myself
Just wanted to reach out and say hello to everyone in the server, I just started playing Hades yesterday and I'm loving it so far but would love some people to talk about the game with through voice chat if anyone's interested definitely hit me up! Would be really cool to have friends to talk about this game with!
Are you thinking of streaming as you play on discord? 🙂
hey. i have unlocked all of my mirror but idk which upgrades to buy/focus on maxing first?
Depends on you & your playstyle
uhh my playstyle? uhm.. i honestly really dont know. i think i like stygian soul over infernal but i dont play that manty cast builds atm. i mean i have only done ||heat 5 with shield and working my way up with bow ||
||heat|| is a spoiler in this channel btw
oh sry. how do i mark it as that?
Since it’s only unlocked after end boss
Use || before & after the word/sentence you want to hide
so havnt played that much
My mirror looks like this most of the time
|| https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/546456562433130509/817418045516808262/image0.jpg||
ok thx
I favor status effects & not having to think too much about my cast return
ok thx a lot. but in what order do i max my mirror in?
tbh i would max the more set things first like dd's, dashes, thick skin, boiling blood, deep pockets
since those really make a difference
deepo pockets or golden touch?
and if you want alt mirror stuff stubborn defiance is fun, stygian soul is really good, and like the bottom 4 are better with yellow talents
deep pockets :3
golden touch is more of a grindy talent ngl
I havent used a ||companion|| yet, but it looks like you just ||summon it for a room|| vs it being a ||persistent pet|| this makes me a bit disapointed
havng the 100 at the start is super nice
yea you essentially have x amount of summons per run and you can summon it once per room :3
it does kinda suck but companions are really helpful if you want faster times or to just clear things
most people dont use them until mini boss/bosses anyway :/
and tbh i forget i have it half the time
@balmy stump then what?
i mean after dashes, dd, health, money, cast(not in priority btw get them however you please) id say fierce/sadow presence is def important, so is privileged status
the bottom 3 are also super important for getting better runs
ok. so now i need to upgrade the 3 bottoms, dark regen and boiling blood. which do i chose first?
boiling and dark regen :3
those have more of an immediate impact
and dont take much to max at all
and for the bottom 3 i reccomend dark forsight, gods legacy, and fated persuasion
umm id say get at least 1 fated persuasion first, then dark forsight, and gods legacy more of a darkness dump
fated persuasion is huge even when you just have one and dark forsight just gives you more boons overall so :/
but then again just do it however you think is the best, it's your file :3
uhm is my game bugged? 2 times in a row i have picked the artemis keepsake for tartarus but gotten a peseidon boon?
i can only pick 1 boon from him. "huge catch"
hello good afternoon, i started playing hades a little while ago and i would like to know if it is better to play on the keyboard or control*
yea thats scripted
lmao trackpad gang
imo controller is nice
choose the one you are more comfortable with
thanks
what is the best weapon to rescue with the keys at the beginning?
all weapons are good
choose the one that you are more comfortable with(just get all of them)
I took that spear
i like bow :3
for some reason I couldnt use it when fighting ||hades||. I hadn't used it the entire escape. any idea why?
ahhh yea so essentially only ||skelly and sisyphus companions|| work on the final boss until some plot stuff happens and you get the authority to from hades
the wiki has more specifics but i think he needs like 4 hearts or smth
its post main game stuff
As others have said all are viable. For a shot-in-the-dark rec, I always steer people towards shield for their first unlock. Sword might be the default weapon, but shield is the Mario of this game
Simplicity and versatility are its two key strengths, perfect for someone still learning the core game mechanics to lean on
why would they make this lame decision -.-
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/803479411176636466/817490220785991740/unknown.png I can't get through it
i can only read english ;w;
wait is that voiced
hearing a brazillian portugese on any hades character would be amazing
anyways, Id recommend athena dash for this boss fight and to use the pillars as often as possible, any other advice i give would be stating pretty obvious stuff
thanks
realtalk: get hit less in general in boss rooms. if this is your first roguelike, you need to reset your expectations about what you can and cannot facetank in this game
Bosses can always kill you much quicker than you can kill them. Always
Focus more on not getting hit than hitting the boss a bunch. If you’re going to win this game, you need to make it to the end first
okay alright
I'm at Elysium
ive been here before
and i am terrified of the minotaur
plz give me advice
miniboss
ah ok
am scared 
essentially just know how he attacks, and when he does, dash behind
The minotaur on his own is quite easy to manage. You just need to digest his attacks and go behind him, he has like 3 or 4 attacks
ah yea then just keep your distance and you should be good
mk
his pattern is more like 1 swipe > 2nd swipe > and then a jump strike
Are the locked weapon aspects(2nd and 3rd ones) only unlockable by titan blood?
and after that he does a 1 > 2 swipe quickly
Be careful when he starts running
alright
Drive him to a piller
or wall
thank you
wall is easier imo
yep
gotta use the blood
this is all assuming i don't die by a default enemy
which i haven't, at least in Elysium
thanks for the answer!
np 😎
is seeking bullets the best upgrade for gun
ummm what aspect??
since personally i find it to be mediocre at best
not my first choice at all
nah it’s not great
delta chamber probably
great gun hammers include ricochet shot, piercing fire, +ammo, spread fire, delta chamber
for the special all the bomb hammers are lovely
the shotgun rail hammer is also great
rocket>triple>cluster for me
and if youre playing on controller you already have auto aim
did you cut too low or smth??
i always bit my nails so i just feel pain if its too low :/
damn i get that
even if i cut my nails too low, the pain never really bothered me that much, i play games all the same
ahhh
wait should i spoiler -?
butterfly ball is a pain if you dont know how to manage it
no youre fine
