#

I just tried the hidden aspect of the spear.. oh boi that was no fun at all šŸ˜…

random jasper
#

Bow keeps being hard for me to use

waxen sapphire
#

@frigid rock please don't miss out letters to try and get around the censor!

#

good luck with ||theseus||, though! :)

random jasper
#

Ohh that fight is hard.. I got stuck there for weeks šŸ˜…

waxen sapphire
#

i still don't always get past it ;-;

frigid rock
#

oh sorry i didn't realize cursing wasnt allowed

waxen sapphire
#

it's in rule 2 in #readme-first - and we have a bot that'll auto-zap any messages that contain cursing ^^

frigid rock
#

didnt realize that meant curses, thought it was about like, slurs and stuff. will be mindful going forward

#

more on topic, it's hard to decide what keepsakes are best to use, they all seem pretty good in their own ways

#

(actually, while it's on my mind, is there a full list of banned words anywhere i can read)

waxen sapphire
#

generally speaking if it's language used in one of the games it's fair to use it in the discord

frigid rock
#

ah so "hell" is okay?

#

looks like, given the bot didn't eat my message

waxen sapphire
#

it would be pretty difficult to talk about hades without being allowed to say hell!

frigid rock
#

yeah! that's part of why i was so shocked cursewords were banned, lol.

spark hound
#

I have a funny story. Before a got the ||codex from achillies,|| i thought all the monsters were called wretches(because thats what hades and zag calls them) so i was always confused when hypnos told me i had been killed by a lout.

maiden ruin
spark hound
#

Also i just got into the ||house of records|| place and i can see how noobish i was just a month ago. It puts things into perspective. And now i know i need to be a better gamershadeeyeroll

maiden ruin
#

yeah i cringe every time i go into the admin chamber and see my old runs

frigid rock
#

managed to beat ||theseus||! only to very quickly die on the next floor holy crap ||those rats are brutal||

wanton crest
#

Yeah poison is a pain. Good job on beating the third boss

frigid rock
#

had a super weird shield build too, it was so strong, sad it couldn't take me all the way

random jasper
#

Good job on beating ||Theseus|| !

#

Huh

#

And yes the chambers after that can be very hard

ARG I WAS KILLED BY|| REDACTED ||AGAIN

maiden ruin
burnt dirge
#

how many runs does it usually take to beat the game? (i haven't but i would like to know; last attempt was 42nd)

dense laurel
#

Some get it on 20th, some get it on 100th

#

Take ur time

random jasper
#

Mine was run 90something

white fjord
#

iirc i got it on my 22nd or somethin attempt

primal oasis
#

Ok i habe question

#

How does the bounty system work?

slow ferry
#

That's post final boss so it's spoilers in this channel

frozen mist
#

Whats a good way to defeat the butterfly ball miniboss in elysium

maiden reef
#

make sure no soldiers rearm themselves, go and kill them every 10 seconds or so to avoid that happening

#

then go back to kill the butterfly and repeat

slow ferry
#

If you have enough sheer damage by then, you can just hit the ball as hard as you can, ignoring/dodging everyone else

#

But, well... I always do that, even when it's a bad idea

#

Sometimes you can destroy the ball before all the enemies have even spawned

gray haven
#

If you have excellent burst damage, kill the Dire Soul Catcher, then finish off any remaining naked shades (should only be 1-2 at most). If you don't have that but your damage is decent, focus on the miniboss and finish off any shades quickly as they spawn. If you have low DPS, just focus down the miniboss first, then take down the Exalted after that.

sage mural
#

So is there any way to get resources faster in the game like nectar keys etc

#

Because otherwise there’s no way I’ll be able to 100% this game unless I spend like a year playing it

arctic bobcat
#

During runs, are you opening ||the troves|| you find? They ||are a fun challenge and have fair amounts of resources||. Also, following the Thirst spices gameplay. Gets you more resources and more fun too

#

Also, the meaning of 100%-ing the game changes from person to person. How much do you wish to achieve?

sage mural
#

100% for me would be all badges and all house contractor stuff

#

And yes i always use dark thirst weapons and troves

arctic bobcat
#

Oof. That's an ambitious goal.
I don't care much about the badges. If I did, I think I'd stop having fun before getting far

sage mural
#

Yep I don’t think I’ll do them tbh

#

Unless there’s some ludicrous way to get resources really fast

arctic bobcat
#

Renovating the house is rewarding though. It does get pretty

sage mural
#

Which there isn’t

#

Don’t get me wrong I have done some really stupid stuff to 100% Uber games but hades is where I draw the line, i think it would actually take a year at least

pastel cipher
#

The ||last badges|| are very much intended for those who have put 100's of hours in the game

arctic bobcat
#

More than a year I think. It's a way to acknowledge dedication...which is something I know I won't get to. And that's fine for me

#

Yet I'm glad they added that to give something to the hardcore people

sage mural
arctic bobcat
#

Oh. Also you could consistently choose the resource rooms if you're confident of your skill. Lower ||heat would help for that||

sage mural
#

I do šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

#

I’m just gonna max out bonds and beat everything on 20 heat and fill out the mirror and call it a day

#

That’s the Max I think I’ll be able to do in this game while retaining my sanity

arctic bobcat
#

Hades is an easy game to pick up. So you can return after a while and still remember the controls and characters.
Especially since the pandemic isn't finishing soon. So having something you do meanwhile is rather good

#

But that goal you set is something to be proud of IMO. I'd be satisfied with that

sage mural
#

It wouldn’t be a problem if I was such a perfectionist

#

I 100% every game I play so to have one unfinished would be really irritating, but I think that irritation wouldn’t be as bad as grinding to the point that I start to loathe the game

arctic bobcat
#

It's subjective territory, but, would you feel satisfied by completing all the achievements? Or maybe that plus all the Skelly ||statues||?

sage mural
#

I’m going to get all the ||statues|| but I’m on switch so no achievements

#

If I was on pc I’d probably just mod in enough resources to Max out my badges just for peace of mind lol

arctic bobcat
#

Aw. Either way, the achievement list is good as a target guideline

sage mural
#

Getting every weapon ||to 32 heat||, maxing bonds with everyone, and completing all the prophecies will probably be good enough for me if still irritating

#

Irritating in the sense that the game won’t be truly finished technically

#

Getting every weapon ||to 20 heat**||

arctic bobcat
#

That's quite the list. You would experience pretty much all the game has to offer

#

With Hades being a roguelite with thousands of voicelines, I think it's fair to not expect to experience every single thing. That's my mindset at least

sage mural
#

I agree, like I mentioned the only thing pushing me beyond that (which is honestly pretty tolerable compared to other things I’ve done for 100%) is that I am a literally painful perfectionist

#

Leaving a game with still ā€œmore to doā€ even if that ā€œmoreā€ is a statue I don’t have in the great hall irritates me genuinely

arctic bobcat
#

Hah. I've only gotten all the achievements for To The Moon, and that was like 5 years ago zaglol

sage mural
#

Idk how many gemstones/diamonds total you need for all the contractor jobs it if it’s below like 40,000 I may consider it

arctic bobcat
#

There must be someone around that knows the amounts

sage mural
#

Either way I’ll have gotten my money’s worth from this game like five times over

#

I’m sure there is somewhere or somewhere online

#

Maybe I’ll just ask the Reddit lol

#

To be honest though with as many different types of games I play there was bound to be one eventually that would break me. Guess Hades is that game

#

Still a fantastic game though so I can’t stay mad at it

arctic bobcat
#

It is! It's easy to forget you're grinding

sage mural
#

Getting all the darkness for the mirror still seems daunting tho lol ir seems like a lot

arctic bobcat
#

You can still come back for a few runs after you finish your goals. Slowly creep towards completion

sage mural
#

Theoretically

arctic bobcat
#

Yeah, life may get in the way. But if you do return at some point, you're guaranteed to have fun and get some resources, so there's that

sage mural
#

I’m always moving from one game to the next though so even for some of my favorites of all time I hardly come back to singleplayer games at all

#

I think at the very least I’ll be able to enjoy the game more without the idea of getting all the badges looming over me

#

So, overall win

arctic bobcat
#

And your money's worth too

#

Other good single player games are the other three by SGG. I'd suggest Pyre. Great art and music and story. But there's no Switch version

are there any pre reqs to getting hades to show up in the house. he just isnt there now

@maiden ruin ||Heat|| is spoilers in this channel as a fyi friendly

maiden ruin
#

oh sorry its early for me

candid gazelle
#

Is smoldering air good?

fresh current
#

That answer goes from ā€œyeah not bad at allā€ to ā€œinsanely broken opā€

maiden ruin
#

it depends on your call

candid gazelle
#

Which call is it good for

maiden ruin
#

zeus, aphro, dio, athena, and ||demeter||

placid ridge
#

what is smoldering air

leaden whale
#

its a duo boon, it lowers your god gauge to cap at 25% but it increases naturally at 5% per second

#

it allows you to spam call on lower call levels

dense laurel
#

basically kinda useless on aphro tbh unless cc ing a single enemy is so worth it for you

slow ferry
#

It can be helpful during bosses

#

Constantly interrupting boss attacks

dense laurel
#

if u want that, getting the legen is far useful and replace the call with a better one

#

no point capping yourself

lime mortar
#

How do I check my codex?

There's an L on switch?

Didn't know that

random jasper
#

Yes. Upper left button

strong bridge
#

is divine dash worth upgrading level/rarity?

placid ridge
#

the main function is deflect and you can get more dmg out of deflecting with another athena boon

#

which increases deflected dmg by like 75% or smth

#

so i wouldnt

and tehn died to theseus

#

I'm too boomer for his lightning attack

#

I should prioritize more athena

maiden ruin
#

athena is great

oak gyro
#

I was just looking up twin fists builds

#

trying out dionysus/poseidon

maiden ruin
#

nice

oak gyro
#

I don't know if it's like, good, but with dionysus attack and tempest flourish (and bad infuence/peer pressure? not sure) it felt good

maiden ruin
#

dio attack on fists is really good

#

and with tempest flourish you can get a really good duo boon

So I have another question. I got Than’s ||stuffed animal thingy to summon him|| I tried to use it in my fight with [redacted] but I couldn’t, is that right?
Also I got ||Hades’|| keepsake. Can I use that in that final battle? šŸ‘€

inner tangle

||with dialogue||

random jasper
#

Okay, thanks šŸ˜… I went like: dude, I saved this up for nothing šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø

maiden ruin

it comes with funny dialogue

random jasper
#

Oh dear. I need to try that

#

If I remember not to pick someone’s aid šŸ˜…

maiden ruin
#

lmao

random jasper
#

I usually go like this when seeing someone’s call show up in the boons: YES YES COME TO MAMA

#

And then I go damn. I wanted to test the other thing lmao

#

Also. If I start running with it.. can I pick someone’s aid?

maiden ruin
#

no

random jasper
#

Ohh gotcha

#

Thanks!

maiden ruin

np

orchid rampart
#

So uhm, weird question, i got this game quite a long time ago. Played for a few hours and havent touched it since ( had to grind other games and work stuff etc), should i completely start from scratch for the story or do yall reckon its gonna be fine anyways

maiden ruin
#

it depends how far you are in the story on your main save

orchid rampart
#

I have only played for maybe 2 hours

maiden ruin
#

then it doesnt matter

#

if i were you i would continue playing on your main save

orchid rampart
#

Yeahh fair enough, im not too much of a story enjoyer anyways. More of a Gameplay Type of person

please hide behind spoiler tags

along with the msg before it

||ig the final boss doesnt count as new anymore ._.||

it takes a few clears to go from new to not new

#

just remember to use tags & it's fine to ask about stuff in here

umbral tide
#

okie

#

thx :)

#

i think the run was good, but needed something bigger

#

||i think i could have cleared the remaining paths in the final room before feeding cerberus?||

misty ridge
#

ye, you can't do it at all after

#

it's up to you if you feel like it ofc, unless you get unlucky & get the 5th one

umbral tide
#

also i had none of the titan blood unlocks on the weapon i was using

#

that was only the first try, i was also stuck on the third boss for a while

||How to get Zeus to give you the phrase to unlock aspect of Lucifer? I already invested blood and unlocked Guan yu. I’m guessing it’s just a matter of exhausting all the dialogue. Rip||

slow ferry
#

||he has to see you holding the gun and say a line of dialogue about it, as i understand it. that unlocks the later line of dialogue of giving you the phrase||

muted tendon

||Well unfortunately he already said a line about it but ever since then I’m still waiting. Thanks though||

are you doing give up?

No I’m not doing that
I just decided to give up on aspect hunting

||So i just beat dad for the 1st time, how does the heat reward thing work exactly? I finished the 1st run with the bow, so i can only use it to claim additional rewards with the heat system? ||

#

|| And if i wanna do heat runs and get extra rewards with say, the sword, i have to kill dad with it first? ||

can you spoiler that?

its a spoiler for newer players

o wow

just got greater recall + quick reload

12/10 combo

umbral tide
#

is the lambent plume actually good?

misty ridge
#

Ye

maiden ruin
#

yeah plume is good

misty ridge
#

But you have to wear it all the time after you equip it

umbral tide
#

ohk

#

ill try it out then

#

ty <3

misty ridge
#

Very fun to use with Zagreus aspect fists

normal viper
#

Plume is good if you can wear it all run and even better if you can get dodge chance from other things like the zag fists buff, or from ruthless reflex in the mirror, or from other hermes boons

random jasper
#

I don’t think I have ever run with the plume. What does it do?

maiden ruin
random jasper
#

Ohh so kind of like the one from Than but instead of damage you get speed

#

Nice

maiden ruin
#

Yeah

random jasper
#

Might try someday

#

But I don’t want to break my clear streak now šŸ˜‚

gray haven
#

The movement speed bonus is just okay, the dodge chance you get is what it makes it decent for eHP builds.

odd shoal
#

whats eHP

slow ferry
#

it's HP when you account for damage resistance and dodge chance and all that

arctic bobcat
#

Does it mean "expected HP"?

slow ferry
#

I think the e means effective

#

If you get damage resistance, then technically your health doesn't increase but effectively it does

maiden ruin
#

Yeah it's effective hp

arctic bobcat
#

Considering the resistance it makes sense, but involving evasion means considering probabilities and luck and so on

#

Either way I get the point, thanks

#

Also I'm not satisfied by 'expected' or 'effective' since both are insufficient in its own way

slow ferry
#

Ok then

#

The e stands for email now

#

Happy now?

arctic bobcat
#

It's a problem not worth fixing. Or at least I'm not equipped to do so shadeembarassed
Either way it was funny to me that two of the natural mechanics in a game don't have a single word they fall both in to

odd shoal
gray haven
#

eHP is effective HP. It's been called that forever in RPGs. You calculate eHP for dodge/evasion in the same way you do for damage reduction, just that it represents an average for dodge/evasion.

#

It's only one metric, anyway.

arctic bobcat
#

The name is unarguable for damage resistance. It's for evasion chance that the issue becomes luck-based. Thus calling it effective in this scenario masks the underlying luck

#

Unless I woke up more pedantic than usual thanthink
I know games are not supposed to be a reminder of math and mechanics. It's just that this terminology "issue" just dawned on me starting all my rambling

slow ferry
#

Sometimes names are inaccurate but you can't mess with convention

odd shoal
#

I think it still works

#

Like if you had a greater chance for high rarity boons wouldn't you effectively be getting higher rarity boons

#

If you have weighted dice wouldn't you effectively be getting better roles, assuming thats how the dice are weighted ofc

arctic bobcat
#

Your average boon or roll improves, yes. That's what the expected rarity/roll means

#

It's just that the common name for this is eHP and so on, in board/videogame contexts

odd shoal
#

successful in producing a desired or intended result.

muted tendon
#

Hello, I’m wondering if there is a comprehensive builds guide for each weapon?

odd shoal
#

Dodge change will procude a desired result

#

this guide is a good place to start

muted tendon
#

Thanks bro

tardy mason
#

how do I not die everytime at bosses

misty ridge
#

practice

#

and luck

arctic bobcat
#

eHP is unarguable for resistance, since you remain at, say, 100 HP but now can resist 120 HP damage instead of your usual 100. It's deterministic.
Whereas when dodge is involved, if you have 50% chance total, you could still die in 100 damage should you get super unlucky. All that variability is easier to tackle in terms of expectations, the average result

misty ridge
#

why are you guys discussing eHP in the new player chat

arctic bobcat
#

Who's the boss being mean, Salty?

#

Both bosses and normal enemies have tells for when they're about to do something. That's the cue to getting out of the way

tardy mason
#

Erinyes, I can't do them without dying at least once

#

and hydra has a lot of heads I don't know how to kill them fast

leaden whale
#

its not necessarily about killing them fast, what i like to do is go all the way to one side and try to take them on one by one

#

it's much easier to handle that way

ivory ocean
#

ive found the bow to be good for this fight, since you can do rapid attacks without having to deal with all the heads at once

thick yew
#

well, among the ways to deal a lot of damage is Doom effects from Ares, or upgrading your Cast

arctic bobcat
#

Shield is good in general for new players since it lets you block

thick yew
#

also this channel should just have "ENABLE GOD MODE" plastered everywhere

#

it's basically the game but actually fun

slow ferry
#

The furies are really consistent if you learn them

odd shoal
#

Not everyone wants that though

#

A lot of the game comes from the challenge

slow ferry
#

God mode isn't for everyone, and it might not be for most people

thick yew
#

then you can disable it...?

odd shoal
#

There isn't shame in using it but you shouldn't try to shove it in faces

thick yew
#

I wasn't being serious

slow ferry
#

Meg and tisiphone have really consistent attack patterns

#

Alecto has the spinning blades that does whatever it wants but even then...

#

Hydra fight is always a bit wild no matter how well you know it, I think

#

But starting from the heads on the edges is good

gray haven
#

Alecto's bladerifts move very slowly and in a straight line.

crimson basalt
#

today was the first time i went up against the other Sisters
i first got alecto, from which i immediately lost.
the next time or was tisiphone, which was more doable for me tbh

#

and even though i have the game for about 3/4 of a year now, today was also the first time i got to the final boss

gray haven
#

Hey, nice! Making progress! dusa

full mural
#

any tips for dealing with the first fury?

maiden ruin
#

You should also practice dodging with your dash

#

It will be super useful

full mural
#

thanks

maiden ruin
#

Np

ivory ocean
#

dashing is super helpful for this fight. when she releases her magic bullets, be sure to get as far away from her as you can, as it'll be easier to dodge them because they're farther apart

slow ferry
#

Furies only have a few attacks, you'll learn them all

tardy mason
#

I wanna finish the game with sword

maiden ruin
#

Then do it

@full mural a new player is going to find divine dash instrumental to surviving this fight

#

gift nectar to athena and select her keepsake before starting, should usually be the first boon you get

marsh bobcat
#

Hey, in the codex of the underworld does it explain each reward the next level has... i often dont know 1 of the 2 possible rewards and dont wanna make the wrong choicešŸ˜…

What do you mean

Like the chamber rewards?

There’s an image here somewhere that explains all of them but I can’t find it

Someone can?

What's up?

I give nectar to a character until a heart with a key appeared

#

Im slow because im using a traductor

You gotta do a favor for that character to unlock the heart. The favor depends on the character.

||when you beat the game on a high heat, do you get the rewards for all the lower heats as well, or should you always do the bare minimum to get the new rewards?||

||when you complete a run on a higher heat, you will get the rewards for the lowest heat on that weapon||

low stump
#

Hi excuse me, i have a question

maiden ruin
#

hello

low stump
#

Generally, whats the best between the boost that gives more chance to have rare or higher or the other one which make us have more chance to get a boon or a hammer ,

maiden ruin
#

the one that gives us a higher chance to see a boon or hammer is a lot better

low stump
#

How come ?

#

Is it that fine if i'm playing with common boons ?

maiden ruin
#

that mirror upgrade will give us a higher chance of seeing hammers, boons, money, health, and poms. all of those will help you a lot more

But i mean

#

Isnt it better to have more chance to have more rare, epics etc... ?

maiden ruin
#

that mirror upgrade gives us a higher chance of seeing rares and thats it

#

there is another mirror upgrade that gives us a higher chance of seeing epics and another mirror upgrade that will give us a higher chance of seeing legendary boons and duo boons

low stump
#

Okaay, i'll be trying to ddo my runs with that then, thank you !

burnt dirge
#

i made it to ||styx|| yesterday. any tips for it?

leaden whale

tidal dash

maiden ruin
#

play safe, look for cures when you are poisoned, look out for the rats that spawn because they damage you when they come out of the ground, when you find the sack dont go into extra tunnels

misty ridge
#

And beware darts

burnt dirge
#

ok thank you

maiden ruin
burnt dirge
#

what does it do

maiden ruin
#

since the rooms are small the enemies will constantly get knocked into them

maiden ruin
#

from poseidon

#

also the walls in styx deal the most damage

burnt dirge
#

ok

leaden whale
burnt dirge
#

now i just need to get there again

What can ambrosia be used for? Im kinda debating whether to sell it for more blood

slow ferry
#

Used for the last few hearts of a relationship, and eventually for some other thing

#

But by then you'll have more ambrosia

#

It's nice to keep one or two on you

odd shoal
#

You probably won’t need it for a while

I hoarded mine

Like, legit hoarded it and then everyone’s relationships started requiring them and it was epic to have such a supply waiting

rugged sonnet
#

Hi, what purpose do marks serve on boons? They appear in the upper left of the boon icon. (The ā€œpointy circlesā€)

maiden ruin
#

The what

odd shoal
#

fated choice?

faint umbra
#

you can pin the boon to your screen to show it off, but it has no other purpose other than that

rugged sonnet
#

Ohhh...it just doesn’t hide them?

faint umbra
#

you can also unpin it by clicking again, and you can pin up to 5 at once

rugged sonnet

I see, thank you

what does filling the hearts in a relationship rly do in the end?

#

how do you get the other versions of the basic weapons as well

maiden ruin
#

nothing for most characters

past nymph

oh i see

maiden ruin
past nymph

i did

then what

maiden ruin

#

oh i see

#

thats the hardest part lmao

maiden ruin
#

you dont need to kill anything

#

just die and come back

past nymph
#

oh interesting

#

is it a underworld reno or what? is there an area you gotta unlock?

#

cuz i unlocked them a long time ago

maiden ruin
#

you get it after you kill the final boss

past nymph
#

oh i see

low stump
#

Hey guys, i have a question

maiden ruin
#

what

low stump
#

In order to have the hunting blades boon, should I pick the mirror bonus whichs gives me more chances to encounter boons, or the other one which rises my chance to get rare or higher boons ?

maiden ruin
#

more chances to encounter boons

tawny nacelle
#

yeah Hunting Blades isn't something that can be upgraded with rarities/poms

#

same with all Duos/Legends

low stump
#

So i basically have to be very lucky tho

maiden ruin
#

"Each rank adds a 1% bonus chance for a Boon to be Rare."

#

it doesnt increase the chances of seeing a duo boon

tawny nacelle
low stump
#

it has been 2 runs where i also got the legendarie for the blade build but i just cant make it after because without hunting blades it sucks

tawny nacelle
#

you'll get the perfect setup one day

maiden ruin
#

yeah

tawny nacelle
#

you just have to pray to RNGsus

maiden ruin
#

also if you unlock the last part of the mirror you will get a mirror upgrade that increases the chances of seeing a duo or legendary boon

odd shoal
#

Do you have God's Legacy?

low stump
#

Yeah i think i maxed it

maiden ruin
#

put that on

low stump
#

And also, should i get the boon swap or the bonus swap ?

#

i mean, the one that chances the boon, or the one which let me change the god or wahtever

odd shoal
#

Persuasion is usually better

maiden ruin
#

both are good

#

so choose the one you like more

low stump
#

which one is persuasion ?

maiden ruin
#

the one that changes boon choices

#

the yellow one

wind wedge
#

is there any point in getting more keepsakes after you've gotten one that you know ur gonna stick with? I got lucky tooth at the very start and it feels like im wasting nectar getting other keepsakes, because lucky tooth just seems like the best one

maiden ruin
#

you should also get coin purse from hypnos

#

and acorn from eurydice

quaint barn
wind wedge
#

i got one of them dont remember which and still feels like lucky tooth is better

#

i mean its literally just another life is that not the best u can get

maiden ruin
#

its a keepsake

#

you get it by giving him nectar

quaint barn
#

Ye what does it do

wind wedge
#

i have the acorn and i think i have one or two from the gods but i dont use them

maiden ruin
quaint barn
#

oh like 100 at begining

#

right?

maiden ruin
#

at the start of that biome it will give you money

#

yeah

slow ferry
#

Eventually boss attacks deal so much damage that acorn ends up giving you more health in the long run

wind wedge
#

ig thats good for a run where ur going for buying titans blood but other than that theres really no point in it right?

maiden ruin
#

you should play like this:

god keepsake -> god keepsake/ coin purse -> acorn -> acorn

wind wedge
#

wait what

#

u can equip more than one keepsake?

maiden ruin
#

yeah

wind wedge
#

how

maiden ruin
#

through a work order

#

at house contractor

wind wedge
#

oh thats good to know

odd shoal
#

If your using tooth you shouldn't start with it bc it just sits there being useless if you dont lose it that floor

maiden ruin
#

yeah

odd shoal
#

And eventually acorn becomes better imo

wind wedge
#

ive checked the house contractor basically every time and i dont see that upgrade

odd shoal
#

Isn't it just a house contractor thing?

slow ferry
#

Of course you can only use 1 keepsake at a time

maiden ruin
#

yeah

odd shoal
#

Weird I feel like I got it relatively early

slow ferry
#

But you can switch keepsakes between levels

wind wedge
slow ferry
#

Yes

maiden ruin
#

yeah

odd shoal
wind wedge
#

ok yea i think ive seen that thing from the contractor thanks

slow ferry
#

If you have tooth in tartarus, and you don't use it, then it was pretty much a waste

#

Only switch to tooth if you think you're gonna die a lot in the next area

#

And if you think you're gonna die to a boss, use acorn instead

#

Tooth can only give you 100 health but if you use acorn and it blocks 5 attacks that deal 30 damage, then the acorn gave you 150 health

maiden ruin
#

also if you equip tooth in tartarus and switch to another keepsake in asphodel, in elysium you cant equip tooth again

wind wedge
#

what do u use fish for?

wanton crest
#

Trade with the chef

maiden ruin
#

you get resources

wind wedge
#

ok thx

plucky juniper
#

Hi. Newbie here (kinda). I'm 13 hours in. I was wondering, there's several currencies in the lower right corner, and sometimes the number is yellow. Is that to show I have reached a cap or does it mean something else?

maiden ruin
#

something else

#

idk what it is

brisk kelp
#

what are the currencies

plucky juniper
#

Like Darkness, keys and gems.

brisk kelp
#

Which number turns yellow?

plucky juniper
#

Like all of them. But I think I figured it out.. Yellow means that number increased. Red means decreased. The colors return to white when I change room/progress further into the dungeon.

brisk kelp
#

got it

#

i figured that

ornate turtle
#

Is it easier fighting the bosses with less escape attempts?

slow ferry
#

What do you mean

misty ridge
leaden whale
#

Quick question, when will I be able to use Titan's Blood?

#

Once you unlock all the weapons

old snow
#

hi I am new here

leaden whale
#

Thanks! friendly

livid jackal
#

hey just wanted to ask

#

is there any other bow you can unlock other than the first one you get

#

cuz im loving the bow

normal viper
#

there are 4 aspects of the bow

#

if thats what you mean

#

but you only unlock aspects after unlocking all the weapons

livid jackal
#

yeah

#

i got the one which can put the casts into it

dreamy steppe
#

hi im newish to hades and was wondering what aspect for the spear do you guys think is the best and with what boons

maiden ruin
#

i like achilles aspect with zeus attack

#

and i always try to get the hammer upgrade "flurry jab"

red vortex
#

Question: Should I focus on getting material first or boons? Also which material should I focus on?

maiden ruin
#

material?

#

wdym material?

misty ridge
#

Prolly means darkness/gems or so

maiden ruin
#

all types of material are useful, gemstones can get you work orders, darkness makes you stronger through the mirror, nectar gets you keepsakes, keys get you more tiers of the mirror and more weapons.

#

i think that you should focus on getting darkness

#

and during your runs you should experiment with different types of boons

#

and see which boons mix well with certain weapons

dreamy steppe
#

also i am trying to get the shady companion but having some trouble

#

i gave bouldy and the dude next to hiim tons of nectar

maiden ruin
#

to get his companion you need to do this:

||Sisyphus' favor is earned by voiding his sentence.

As you get to know Sisyphus, he will introduce you to Bouldy. In order to start Sisyphus' quest, you will need to be at 6 hearts with him, learned about his backstory, and to have spoken to Bouldy at least once previously (giving nectar to Bouldy is not required).

Sisyphus' liberation quest begins with this piece of dialogue from Zagreus:

Sisyphus, I know you tend to be in remarkably good spirits, all things considered, but there must be something I can do to help with your predicament, isn't there?
After this you will need to have:

Access to the Administrative Chamber (purchased through the House Contractor)
Conversations with Megaera (who needs to be at 5 hearts) and Hades about Sisyphus' situation
A conversation with Nyx (who must be at 5 hearts) about the Admin Chamber (which can also be triggered by advancing Orpheus and Eurydice's storyline)
A followup conversation with Nyx about Sisyphus' plight, in which she tells you the location of his file in the Admin Chamber
After finding the document in the Admin Chamber, speak to the House Contractor to purchase the Knave-King's Sentence for 4 Diamond.

The next conversation you have with Sisyphus will earn his favor and complete the End to Torment prophecy in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies.

After this is done, Sisyphus may be given Ambrosia the next time he is encountered in Tartarus.||

dreamy steppe
#

ahhhhhh thats it. i just need to get hearts with nyx and it should be all good from there

#

thanks m8

maiden ruin
#

np

red vortex
red vortex
maiden ruin
#

prioritize darkness

#

get keys to unlock the rest of the mirror

dense estuary
#

Darkness until you have 3 death defiance

#

Bare minimum imo

maiden ruin
#

you should probably stop when you have at least half of the mirror maxed out

dense estuary
#

That's a good idea but not necessary

maiden ruin
#

ye its not necessary but it will help a lot

maiden ruin
dense estuary
#

Nectar
Darkness
Cthonic keys
Gemstones

#

From top to bottom top get first priority

maiden ruin
#

gemstones can get work orders that will help a lot

#

you need that much nectar

#

you only need to give some characters 1 nectar

dense estuary
#

Cthonic keys and gemstones switch after all weapons

#

Nectar is kinda rare though and it's nice to get lots of keepsakes

red vortex
#

thank you two!

dense estuary
#

No problem I love helping out a fellow supergiant enthusiast

fading cypress
#

oi

maiden ruin
#

what

maiden ruin
dense estuary
#

Oi

fading cypress
#

I got to the bone hydra yesterday but didn't beat it sadly, I also finished a sketch of Zags yesterday

maiden ruin
#

nice

plucky juniper
#

I'm in a decent run. The controller ran out of battery, and when I reconnect now the stick won't center itself in game so Zagreus keeps walking north when stick is neutral. I'm in the middle of a fight in a room. What happens if I quit now?

maiden ruin
#

if you havent taken damage in that room then you can leave, when you come back you will be at the very beginning of the room

plucky juniper
#

I have taken damage, and I don't want to start over.. Gonna wait a few minutes for the battery to charge and then try my gamepad wireless again. I use the Switch Pro gamepad on pc, and it goes into wired mode when I charge it via the pc.

maiden ruin
#

youre not gonna start over from the beginning

#

you are just gonna come back to the room that you are in right now

plucky juniper
#

Oh, that's better.

faint umbra
#

as long as you dont press give up, that is

#

give up will bring you back to before the run ever happened

plucky juniper
#

I connected my gamepad wirelessly again, and that fixed my issue.

#

So I didn't have to quit, give up or relaunch the game.

faint umbra
#

nice!

red vortex
#

Should I choose darkness over damage to get farther in the long run or damage for the short run?

maiden ruin
#

darkness

mild kelp
#

^

red vortex
#

alrighty, gotcha

#

also, money or boons?

#

cause of greater "boss" at the boon

maiden ruin
#

it depends on what the boon is

#

and how much money you have

red vortex
#

hmm, i canr send picks

#

but anyway: 144 gold and the boon is something pink ( i think its the wine dude)

maiden ruin
#

if it is a pink heart then it is aphrodite

red vortex
#

its probably wine

maiden ruin
#

is it purple?

red vortex
#

may also be... I am in the region of chaos, so maybe. buts its not a heart

#

and looks like a glass of wine

maiden ruin
#

oh then yeah

red vortex
#

so the boon xd

#

boon upgrade or shop? got 265 gold and not the best boons? (idk if doom on hit is that strong)

maiden ruin
#

doom is really good

red vortex
#

so the boon upgrade, I see

maiden ruin
#

and 265 is enough to buy both

#

wait nvm

#

i thought you were talking about poms

red vortex
#

doors :D

#

so which one is it?

maiden ruin
#

uh probably shop

red vortex
#

okay... hermes or wine dude?

maiden ruin
#

wine

frigid matrix
#

depends

red vortex
#

5 keys for a nectar?
I still need the fourth weapon...

maiden ruin
#

what keepsakes do you have?

red vortex
#

??

#

what are keepsakes?

maiden ruin
#

things you get by giving people nectar

red vortex
#

one from skelly, cerberus and from nyx

maiden ruin
#

nyx

#

uh you should save your nectar

#

and give it to the gods

#

and tree lady in asphodel

red vortex
#

so buy one instead of the weapon?

maiden ruin
#

well how much nectar do you have

red vortex
#

0 rn

maiden ruin
#

how many keys do you have

red vortex
#

5...

#

so 5 for 1 nectar

maiden ruin
#

then dont do anything

#

just grind more resources

red vortex
#

so no nectar nor the weapon?

maiden ruin
#

yeah

red vortex
maiden ruin
#

ye just keep doing that

#

and what mirror upgrades do you have rn

red vortex
#

so what will I do with the key then?

maiden ruin
#

save it

red vortex
#

boiling blood is at 40% and death defiance is at 1

#

rest is maxed

maiden ruin
#

grind darkness to get more death defiances

red vortex
#

what should I get with the gems?

maiden ruin
#

how many do you have

red vortex
#

9 rn but I am asking for the future

maiden ruin
#

the house contractor has work orders that will help you

#

so spend your gems on them

red vortex
#

just any of them?

maiden ruin
#

anything in the work orders section

red vortex
#

How many hours does it take to beat the main Game and then how many for 100%?

maiden ruin
red vortex
#

Lets say I 100%ed dead cells...

#

And let's say I know how to learn stuff (boss paterns, synergies, etc.)

maiden ruin
#

it will probably take you 20+ hours to beat the main game

#

and it will take you 300+ to 100% the game

red vortex
#

Oh god... But I guess it's not much if it's fun

wanton crest
#

Mhmm as long as you're having fun

red vortex
#

True... But thank you guys and especially @maiden ruin for the tips and help

maiden ruin
#

np

#

almost 20 hours in and i've been getting to the final boss semi-consistently, i'd say 20's a fair estimate as some of those hours are working with weapons i don't know how to use right

hi

#

how do we unlock stash things?

#

it says stash at keepsake

slow ferry
#

keepsakes are in the box in the weapons room

#

next to your sword

frigid matrix
#

you need more than one for the box to show up i think

maiden ruin
#

nah you dont need a keepsake for the box to show up

frigid matrix
#

the box was missing on my restart file

maiden ruin
#

oh

old snow

Guess I am not new

Hell. May i ask. Would you like to release Hades in cloud gaming service "GeForce Now"? Question for developers. Thanks

severe gazelle
#

what is a good zeus build

maiden ruin
#

aspect of zeus or a build with zeus boons?

severe gazelle
#

zeus boons

maiden ruin
#

what weapons do you have?

#

and what weapon do you want the build to be on?

severe gazelle
#

all weapons

#

any weapon that is good

maiden ruin
#

any particular weapon?

#

oh

#

you can either pick rail or fists and put zeus on your attack, then get storm lightning (the boon that makes your lightning bounce more) to hopefully get his legendary boon

severe gazelle
#

ok thanks

smoky mica
#

Hello
Im playing Hades on switch
Ive unlocked every keepsakes
Want to know to who I must give nectars now please ? ^^

maiden ruin
#

you should give nectar to meg

hazy gyro
#

I haven't finished the game yet, by my tactic has been making sure everyone has at least 1 nectar and then giving it to the characters I like most

stable saffron
#

As a general rule, does it say "learn more by deepening your relationship" in the codex? Prioritise those

#

Meg, Than, Dusa, Skelly, Chaos

hazy gyro
stable saffron
#

Oh that?

#

That's where you have a specific task. Look at the fated list - there's something you can do for them.

hazy gyro
#

Hmmm will do

#

Thanks : )

stable saffron
#

Or if not, keep talking to them.

smoky mica
#

Grea thanks you ! 😁

#

Also
What weapon shound I upgrade with titans blood ?

maiden ruin
#

your favorite weapon

stable saffron
#

You unlocked any of the secrets yet?

#

For any weapon that isn't the spear, it'll only wake up if you already have a couple levels in other aspects

#

...does the phrase "crimson phoenix" mean anything to you, before I say anything else?

misty ridge
#

The hidden ones are spoilers in here anyways hehe

verbal ivy
#

You can upgrade weapons with titan blood????

maiden ruin
verbal ivy

oh

#

makes sense

#

||wait has anyone ever beaten hades in their first run||

maiden ruin
#

yeah

verbal ivy
#

wha

maiden ruin

#

wdym

#

why is it a spoiler

faint umbra
#

final boss is considered a spoiler in this channel, as its the new players channel

verbal ivy
#

oh ok

#

well i know who it is because i have seen people speedrun the game

maiden ruin
#

well other people dont

verbal ivy
#

how do they do like 2k damage in one blow

faint umbra
#

could you spoiler tag the message please? shadesmile

verbal ivy
#

??

maiden ruin
verbal ivy
#

oh ok

maiden ruin
verbal ivy
#

i was talking about beating the game but alr

maiden ruin
#

bruh

faint umbra
#

there is a fresh file speedrun category, and the devs even reacted to one such run

maiden ruin
#

i almost did it, but then i died

#

šŸ˜Ž

faint umbra
#

i got to meg without the mirror once... for the dialogue... but i think i died there

maiden ruin
#

rip

verbal ivy
#

I remember my first hades run a few days ago and i died to the armored witches in tartarus

#

And i previously thought you beat the game after clesring tartarus

#

I am a fool

leaden whale
#

i tried doing a fresh file run the other day, man it was seriously tough. the mirror gives so many great things that i just took for granted

odd shoal
#

only one dash sounds like the worst part tbh

#

Like worse than no DD maybe

maiden ruin
#

no healing, no DDs, and 1 dash are the worst parts about no mirror

odd shoal
#

Didn't think aboout how much the 3 health at the end of each chamber is taken for granted either

#

I even forgot about it

verbal ivy
#

yup

#

I wonder if a fresh file boonless (or minimal boons) has been done

#

Seems too difficult though

red vortex
maiden ruin
red vortex
#

by all you mean the 4 or 6?

maiden ruin
#

6

red vortex
#

also I have 5 keys, but I think you told me to save them for the mirror... šŸ¤”

red vortex
maiden ruin
#

just unlock them 1 by 1

#

and they will show up

red vortex
#

gotcha

subtle widget
#

got the sword

ivory ocean
#

spoiler ||the final boss name|| thanks :)

maiden ruin
#

||wait for him to attack, always destroy the skulls that he throws, kill the enemies that he spawns, when you get hit by boiling blood play extra safe and wait for it to run out, whenever he is about to do a spin attack dash away, in his second phase dash behind him when is doing his laser attack in his first stage, in his second stage you should hide behind the two rocks when he is doing the laser attack, when he spawns green pots you should destroy them with a cast or with a dash that deals damage, also having a call will be very helpful in destroying the green pots and attacking him while he is doing his laser attack||

#

and yeah hide the name of the final boss

subtle widget
#

sorry, my bad

#

and thanks. will keep these in mind the next encounter. ||just died in styx so nvm||

red vortex
#

Who should I give nectar to? got 5...

maiden ruin
#

misty ridge
#

#

and skelly

misty ridge
#

Eurydice

maiden ruin
#

red vortex
#

Can't really see that until you beat the final boss unfortunately

odd shoal

In the wise words of Skelly

#

I don't know write it on a piece of paper or something

maiden ruin
#

"I don't know write it on a piece of paper or something, boyo"

red vortex

Big number squirtnya

red vortex

maiden ruin

#

why was the snake boss so difficult all of the sudden? because i beat him with 3 different weapons already?

wind wedge
#

what snake boss

red vortex
#

bone snake

wind wedge
#

oh the hydra

red vortex
#

also how tf am I supposed to get 15 extra diamonds for the work orders??

wind wedge
#

no it doesnt matter how many weapons u beat him with

wind wedge
odd shoal
#

You can get more bounties after you beat the game

wind wedge
#

and wtf do u need 15 diamonds for

red vortex
wind wedge
#

u mean the decorative stuff?

#

isnt that all just cosmetic

odd shoal
#

the first page actually helps you

wind wedge
#

im not 100% sure but i think everything outside of the first tab is purely cosmetic

odd shoal
#

the other tabs are cosmetic

wind wedge
#

yeah

red vortex
red vortex
wind wedge
#

in the other tabs? not the first page?

red vortex
#

no, no, on the first one

wind wedge
#

oh u dont need all of them until late game im pretty sure

#

and there are easier ways to get diamonds then

maiden ruin
#

Nah they are really helpful early game

wind wedge
#

but for me they dont all pop up immediately

#

like ive got the rod of fishing and one or two more but nothing else has popped up

red vortex
#

also does anyone have a mirror build?

red vortex
wind wedge
#

idk it just popped up randomly for me im not sure how it works

maiden ruin
maiden ruin
leaden whale
#

depending on what run im doing ill sometimes use fiery, i switch the money one pretty frequently, and stygian is very situationa;l

red vortex
#

I got the first eight skills now

maiden ruin
#

I don't use infernal unless I am using a cast build

red vortex
#

the last two are unleveled rn

#

also is the third revive worth the 1000 essence?

maiden ruin
#

Yes

red vortex
#

or should I get the other skills

wind wedge
#

definetly worth

red vortex
#

and keys? save 8/16 keys for the last two weapons or buy more mirror upgrades?

wind wedge
#

both

maiden ruin
#

Save keys for weapons

#

Unlock all of them so you can get aspects

#

Then use them on the mirror

red vortex
#

gotcha

wind wedge
#

what is the bow good for? It seems to me like the gun is better in every way since it has a faster fire rate and better special

slow ferry
#

Did you beat the final boss yet

#

Once you do that you'll be able to get a lot more resources

leaden whale
#

this is a spoiler

maiden ruin
#

Ye all hidden aspects are spoilers

#

@restive stratus

errant bramble
odd shoal
#

Zag bow isn’t bad though

#

But the others are better

stable saffron
#

Fast Firing can be good but the range and burst damage Coronacht offers is often better in a way

#

And Bombard is just a weird mechanic imo

#

Might as well say that Shield is better than sword

verbal ivy
#

Hey how do you use the rod of fishing?

slow ferry
#

In some rooms there are fishing spots, which are glowing points in water

#

When you beat all enemies in a room with a fishing spot, you'll hear a "ding"

#

And often when you walk past a fishing spot, zag will say "hey, a fishing spot"

#

Then you walk up to the spot and press the button, and then when the bobber goes fully under the water, you press the button again as fast as possible

#

The bobber will fake you out between 0 and 4 times

#

If you press the button fast enough, you'll get a perfect catch, which will give you a chance of getting a very rare fish

#

don't forget that you can give the fish you've caught to the cook

#

Is there a way you can show the hp numbers on enemy health bars or no?

gray haven
#

No.

#

Lesss gooo

#

My potato pc managed to run this game

#

was tired of waiting for a Playstation release so i just got it on pc

#

running fine even though I don’t have a graphics card

red vortex
#

Uhm, I just found out there are different variants of bosses???

somber yarrow
#

do i get to keep the mirror upgrades if i die?

misty ridge
#

mirror is permanent - unless you reset with a key

somber yarrow
#

everything is goes away when i die?

#

or are there other things i get to keep too?

misty ridge
#

gems, darkness, weapons, keepsakes ia_think_thonk
boss drops

#

gifted gifts aka bond "upgrades"

#

boons, obols (money) & hammers will go poof

somber yarrow
#

#

#

wooo

#

||not going to lie, really wanted to fight hades, i had a good run going||

misty ridge
long laurel
#

||but it was also my first time using decent amounts of heat on a run so it saved me a potential loss||

#

i had an exagryph poseidon attack + sea storm run going :L

red vortex
#

uhm, how high is "heroic" for boons in the tier order?

misty ridge
#

above epic

#

below legendary

#

can only be obtained during special circumstances/conditions

leaden whale
#

any tips for getting my first complete run

long laurel
#

pay attention to enemy attack patterns, try to fish for boons that synergize with each other, fill out the mirror

red vortex
#

tips for the temple of styx?

misty ridge
#

don't stand in poison & try to keep an eye on the cure pools just in case you do get poisoned

maiden ruin
# red vortex tips for the temple of styx?

play safe, look for cures when you are poisoned, look out for the rats that spawn because they damage you when they come out of the ground, when you find the sack dont go into extra tunnels

red vortex
#

final boss tips?!

#

got 2 revives still...

#

but I heard he hits hard

#

i am ded

maiden ruin
# red vortex final boss tips?!

||wait for him to attack, always destroy the skulls that he throws, kill the enemies that he spawns, when you get hit by boiling blood play extra safe and wait for it to run out, whenever he is about to do a spin attack dash away, in his second phase dash behind him when is doing his laser attack in his first stage, in his second stage you should hide behind the two rocks when he is doing the laser attack, when he spawns green pots you should destroy them with a cast or with a dash that deals damage, also having a call will be very helpful in destroying the green pots and attacking him while he is doing his laser attack||

red vortex
#

so react more instead of bashing all buttons? gotcha xD

leaden whale
#

youll learn the animations eventuallly

frozen mist
#

whats a good way to not die in styx, especially from those snake crystals

maiden ruin
slow ferry
#

The crystals stop firing when you hit them, so with a fast melee weapon you wanna keep hitting em

#

If you can't do that, stay far away

leaden whale
# gray haven No.

Ok. But I believe that would be an excellent edition if they were to ever add that.

proud perch
#

for people who dont think that boons/builds are what matters, I just beat the final boss with horrible stats and no death defiance but still won because of really strong boons

brisk kelp
#

I don't know if anyone thinks that

proud perch
#

some new players tend to think that high base health is really important

#

its why people run cerburus

brisk kelp
#

Ive never heard of that

random jasper

I used to run with Cerberus’s keepsake for wayyy too long. But actually made it to the endboss with it. (I was also a big noob so šŸ˜…)
