So, lately I’m doing more of a spear build. I put all my boons and upgrades on dash and special. I wish I have Zesus for the first Boon because that lightning is very good but also weak is good too

Noob question, is there a way to do a run that you mainly farm darkness and keys or it doesn’t work like that?

is it worth taking second wave over sweet nectar?

does second wave make tidal dash more powerful?

polar finch Oct 31, 2021, 6:09 AM

mostly depends on if you need anything that wants a lot of poms

marsh vector Oct 31, 2021, 10:57 AM

#

Ok, the game is so much fun... Rly

But where can I see the items i can get from gods? Cant Find it in Codex, playing on switch.

And how to enable rerolls?

Aspects are unlocked when unlocking the rail gun? Thought fists are last :-)

#

And gifting gods do i need in the run or can i Find all the gods in the lobby? For example Hades?

viscid notch Oct 31, 2021, 11:01 AM

#

marsh vector Ok, the game is so much fun... Rly But where can I see the items i can get from...

The Codex upgrade should show up at the house contractor eventually, if you open it on a god page there should be a button to see the boons from that god, aswell as their duo boons with other gods, it's B on KBM by default idk about controller.
Rerolls are unlocked through your mirror (Fated Authority/Persuasion), there is also a contractor upgrade that makes it so keys give you a reroll.

You can find some Chtonic Gods and other NPCs in the lobby, but Olympian gods and Charon/Patroculus can only be gifted in the run

give them to all at least once

marsh vector Oct 31, 2021, 3:56 PM

The more nectar they get, the better the boons... Ok

#

But need more Artemis boons for bow

leaden whale Oct 31, 2021, 3:57 PM

leaden whale Oct 31, 2021, 3:58 PM

there are mirror perks that affect boon rarity down the line

#

but gifting nectar doesn't affect this

dusty vault Oct 31, 2021, 3:58 PM

Their keepsakes too affect rarity

marsh vector Oct 31, 2021, 3:58 PM

Dark mirror upgrades, respective keep sakes for olympians. And one of the chaos boons

leaden whale Oct 31, 2021, 3:58 PM

the first time, you get a keepsake, then everything after is just for improving your relationship with them

dusty vault Oct 31, 2021, 4:00 PM

More dialoge. A little crest in the keepsake closet if you're a completionist and care about that

leaden whale Oct 31, 2021, 4:00 PM

You got good with that, but not with the other weapons.

strange fjord Oct 31, 2021, 11:11 PM

#

Do you guys use the cast very often?

viscid notch Oct 31, 2021, 11:17 PM

#

Yes

noble mist Oct 31, 2021, 11:26 PM

#

The cast is very good. With the mirror of night upgrade boiling blood it gives you an extra 50% damage against whoever its lodged in, which can really improve your DPS. Also, its pretty useful in Tartarus and some of Asphodel for taking out low health creatures easily.

strange fjord Oct 31, 2021, 11:36 PM

#

Yeah i'm using boiling blood, but i just use the cast against bosses >< should i get used to using it against all enemies too? Maybe i wouldn't die so often if i used it all the way up instead of bosses only

marsh vector Oct 31, 2021, 11:37 PM

#

Cast? Is b or throw?

viscid notch Oct 31, 2021, 11:37 PM

#

It can help on other enemies, especially armored ones

#

You don’t have to use it on literally everything but get used to implementing it into your action sequences for whatever weapon, using it on bosses is a good starting point

strange fjord Oct 31, 2021, 11:42 PM

#

marsh vector Cast? Is b or throw?

I believe that the "b" you say is on an xbox controller, so yes it's b

strange fjord Oct 31, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

viscid notch You don’t have to use it on literally everything but get used to implementing it...

Hmm okay :) i'll do it then shadesmile thanks!

#

I get a lot of Ares an Artemis's boons, and their legendary/combined boons buff the cast so that's why i was in doubt

viscid notch Oct 31, 2021, 11:58 PM

#

Yea it’s a strong duo boon

#

But if you’re not focusing on the cast and just got this duo on the side it might underperform a little, also if the aspect doesn’t favor cast builds

celest fox Nov 1, 2021, 12:18 AM

You got me there, since i only use 1 cast 🤡

I mainly focus on atk/special atk

#

I used to have 3 casts but when i realized i never used all three, i switched

celest fox Nov 1, 2021, 1:38 AM

#

Yeah you don't need 3 except for like relatively low effort or flurry shot dependant builds

#

Low effort as in there is a way to get many casts with the 1 cast that regens

#

It's just hard and unreliable

#

Stygian soul is definitely more fun but 1 cast on a cast build is pain

#

Even just 2 feels much better

leaden whale Nov 1, 2021, 2:10 AM

#

Can you equip multiple keepsakes or that’s late game thing?

strange fjord Nov 1, 2021, 2:11 AM

Only 1, but you can get an upgrade from house contractor that lets you change every area

#

Yepp @static oriole

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 2:57 PM

#

any aspect that relies on casts as primal source of damage is a cast aspect

#

or can rely

#

technically even Eris is a cast weapon

#

there are only 2 aspects actually than can't do without cast boon

#

hera and beowulf

viscid notch Nov 1, 2021, 2:59 PM

#

Every aspect in the game can do without a cast boon

#

Beowulf can use the Special and Hera can play as a worse bow

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 3:00 PM

#

yeah, but that's not how you optimally play

#

and we're not talking no-boon run here

#

actually i would like to do that someday

#

and i can't think of a best weapon for it

#

my personal favorite is beowulf, but can it be good without a cast? i don't think so

#

unless you pick up a specific hammer

#

charged flight, is it?

#

base damage of your special is already high, so

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

But most time i play with bow, there is no cast, right? 🤨

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

hera is a cast aspect of bow

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 3:04 PM

#

Or do i need to "skill" it per boon

#

Aspect i went for was zag

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

try chiron, aspect that requires no skill at all

#

you need to upgrade it though first

#

could be a problem

#

bows are generally not a good pick for a beginner

#

try shields

#

zag shield is good

#

and it takes almost nothing to fully upgrade it

#

with it you can farm titan blood and upgrade other no-skill weapons

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 3:09 PM

#

Shild better beginner? Bow was pretty fine. Got to last Boss on 3rd stage after 16 runs 😆

#

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

marsh vector Shild better beginner? Bow was pretty fine. Got to last Boss on 3rd stage after ...

with shield you'd probably beat final boss by now at least once

#

shield has the highest survivability

#

my first victory screen was with the shield too

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 3:14 PM

#

Ok shield should use which god/ keepsakes

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 3:15 PM

#

with Zag shield you go for heart rend

#

artemis on your attack, aphrodite on your dash (or special, but with dash you apply weak a lot quicker)

and that's basically it

Yep

strange fjord Nov 1, 2021, 3:26 PM

I use the Aspect of Nemesis, and about the boons, i usually get the ones that buff my dash, atk and special atk only, no cast. (and the gods i always pick/try to pick are Artemis, Ares, Athena and Hermes, in case you want to know)

modern briar Nov 1, 2021, 3:27 PM

static oriole Nov 1, 2021, 3:32 PM

like how you can't stun enemies with the rail

if you can't dodge well and don't know attack patterns of enemies you get hit pretty often

#

@static oriole how is ur play style with shield? Dash and hold Attack? :-)

polar finch Nov 1, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

you mostly want to dash strike and knock enemies against walls

#

constantly bull rushing works but its really slow and doesnt really teach you anything

#

use the bullrush/block when there's a lot of attacks coming at once though

polar finch Nov 1, 2021, 4:31 PM

#

static oriole with Zag shield you go for heart rend

also i wouldnt go for heartrend. if you want a duo focused build its much better to go for either merciful end (ares atk/athena special and dash) or smouldering air (aphro attack/zeus call) especially on a low lol zag shield. aphro and ares attack are also gunna be better on their own that artemis attack

#

@marsh vector

#

between dash strikes you can also follow up with a quick regular attack so its like dash strike > attack > dash strike > attack

quick drum Nov 1, 2021, 4:35 PM

#

polar finch constantly bull rushing works but its really slow and doesnt really teach you an...

yup, like it works but its slow

#

for example when i play zeus shield i barely bullrush until the final boss (or in really hectic rooms)

polar finch Nov 1, 2021, 4:37 PM

#

if you get charged shot it will work for charged attack spamming tho

What is Bull Rush? 🤨

strange fjord Nov 1, 2021, 4:49 PM

#

marsh vector What is Bull Rush? 🤨

When you hold the attack button then release it

#

You dash forward dealing damage to foes

maiden ruin Nov 1, 2021, 4:50 PM

the buff it gives is not that good

especially compared to the other aspects

doom attack or special with athena dash is fine on its own

marsh vector U called names from keepsakes Not from god 😇😇

eurydice and chaos buffs and yarn have nothing to do with keepsakes

yarn is a well item btw

wdym

eurydice and chaos give buffs

#

chaos with boons

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 5:45 PM

Ah ok the boon and the boon buff now i See 😆

#

And last, what is yarn

#

I got german Client... Maybe i should switch 😆

polar finch Nov 1, 2021, 5:46 PM

#

from wells of charon

#

the description tells you it increases boon rarity

#

generally if a buff or something says it increases boon rarity itll increase duo chance

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 5:47 PM

#

Ok thx

#

Still dont come behind the secret from getting builds 😆

#

So how to Upgrade wells of Charon 😆

polar finch Nov 1, 2021, 5:50 PM

#

wells of charon dont get upgraded

#

theyre the purple fountain like things you see in chambers you can buy things from

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

Yes i know, but i never got there good items

polar finch Nov 1, 2021, 5:51 PM

#

yarn is one of the rarer ones

#

its gunna be the least impactful between eurydice, chaos, or keepsakes for getting duos tbh

#

tbh chaos is also pretty rng compared to keepsakes and eurydice too

marsh vector Nov 1, 2021, 5:55 PM

Ok

#

So how do I unlock the last heart on someone? I have all hearts except last one on charon, and I also have 3 ambrosia which is how i thought you do it but idk...

dusty vault Nov 1, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

each character has a favor you need to do before the last hearts @trail radish you can see them on the wiki but most of them can be done if you keep playing (at least one like charon)

trail radish Nov 1, 2021, 11:44 PM

#

are they all favors that one would figure out eventually just by playing? or are some tricky and possibly take days/weeks to discover?

dusty vault Nov 1, 2021, 11:45 PM

#

pretty much every is on theme with each of them

#

so like charon = spent money

trail radish Nov 1, 2021, 11:47 PM

Wait

#

When you guys make builds

#

And what not

#

How do you make sure you get the right boon

#

Or hammer

polar finch Nov 2, 2021, 2:17 AM

#

boons is keepsakes and fated persuasion. hammer is mostly rng

#

but you get two hammers a run so youll usually get at least one good hammer

grave storm Nov 2, 2021, 2:25 AM

#

you can't guarantee the right boon, though you eventually get skills to up the odds

celest fox Nov 2, 2021, 2:54 AM

#

You can manipulate hammer rng

#

But it requires resetting and stuff

#

It kinda ruins the fun

#

If no hammer is good go for the least bad

#

Damage versus armor is always good even if its boring

#

And avoid serrated point unless you are going for it

#

Unless you are using dash strike a lot, it will just hurt

grizzled sky Nov 2, 2021, 3:35 AM

polar finch boons is keepsakes and fated persuasion. hammer is mostly rng

It takes one of your hammer upgrades and give you two others

what does +50% crit on recovery means

#

👀

viscid notch Nov 2, 2021, 2:20 PM

#

So when you use your Special on the spear (except the 4th Spear), you basically throw it but it stays at that spot so you have to use your Special button again to call it back

#

Calling it back is the Recovery part

zag sword does literally nothing to your dps

It depends on your build heavily, saying that one aspect has best dps is very vague

Not too hard. Just put at least 5 blood into each weapon and reach ||hades|| once (doesn't matter if you win). First one is to get always will be ||Guan yu|| from achilles.

#

There's a pin in #h1-story-discussion for who to talk to for hiddin aspects I think

marsh vector Nov 2, 2021, 6:05 PM

#

Ok that makes me feel better but omg, i Just started 3 runs ago to switch the keepsakes after a Boss.... 😆

#

Like 20 runs without switching it.... Lmao

#

Think thats the way to get a build

gray haven Nov 2, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

The popular strat is two different god keepsakes in the first two biomes to force the two core gods for your build, then switch to survivability keepsakes for the last two biomes.

#

Most builds are focused on two gods and typically their Duo Boon + some support boons from the other gods that don't hurt your chances to get the core boons that you want or just have very strong boons in one slot..

#

Like, Divine Dash from Lady Athena is great in almost any build.

#

While Lady Artemis's core boons are a bit more situational, so in some builds you might only want Pressure Points + Hunter's Mark from her.

marsh vector Nov 2, 2021, 6:48 PM

#

Ok and to get a dou boon i need 2 boons from different pair of gods that have a dou

celest fox Nov 2, 2021, 6:53 PM

What’s a good bulid for cornath

left gale Nov 2, 2021, 7:57 PM

#

coronacht? i prefer aspect of charon since dio/aphro can do some crazy damage on special

#

you can focus more on attack and special on the bow, since you don’t have to be as heavily dependent on cast if you have a good special

#

for the hammer +4 special arrows is quite good

polar finch Nov 2, 2021, 8:00 PM

#

concentrated volley is a lot better for the special

#

both though is pretty big dps

static oriole Nov 2, 2021, 8:01 PM

#

yeah the biggest flaw of chiron i believe is that it's special is slow, locks you in one place

#

and relentless makes it even slower

polar finch Nov 2, 2021, 8:02 PM

#

more like a tradeoff than a flaw

#

pretty sure with relentless youre locked from dashing for the same amount of frames, at least according to nyaa

who is nyaa anyway?

knotty rune Nov 2, 2021, 8:28 PM

#

so the first one means that when your attacks inflict doom, itll do 50 points of damage

#

doom is a status effect that deals damage after a few seconds

#

the green is the amount

celest fox Nov 2, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

That's base damage. It can be increased

abstract burrow Nov 2, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

I understand now

celest fox Nov 2, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

So it isn't as low as it looks

#

It also gets better with rarity

knotty rune Nov 2, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

that green number goes up when the boon is higher rarity (purple or blue) or when you use poms of power on it

celest fox Nov 2, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

Slicing shot for example hits pretty rapidly

and the gun

the gun is really fun

also how much titan blood do you have/how easily do you get it?

is eris the one with the manual reload?

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:32 AM

#

ohh

it goes up to a 75% increase and this affects almost every form of damage

what boons would I be looking for

#

what kind of boons

#

I mean

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:33 AM

zeus attack and tidal dash is usually the go to build for eris

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:33 AM

#

what makes tidal dash so good?

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:34 AM

#

its the highest base damage dash

#

and the dash damage is increased by eris buff too

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:34 AM

#

Could I use athena dash

#

I really like athena dash

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:34 AM

#

in addition to zeus attack you want static discharge and hopefully zeus' legendary boom and youll get a lot of damage

#

athena dash is still a good beginner choice just for the safety

#

or choice in general

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

I meant just like

#

It just feels really safe

turbid stag Nov 3, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

runic halo Could I use athena dash

Sure. Poseidon dash is way more offensive. Athena is a security blanket

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

and leaves more space for human error

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

yeah its good if you need it

turbid stag Nov 3, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

Use what you want

#

But Poseidon dash on Eris SLAPS

#

like you may not miss Athena dash as much as u think

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

zeus attack and static discharge is already enough damage

what does poseidon zeus duo boon do

turbid stag Nov 3, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

runic halo what does poseidon zeus duo boon do

Lightning bolt tacked on to knock back effects but you don’t need it

#

Poseidon and zeus duo boons are a great pair

#

Imo

turbid stag Nov 3, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

tidal dash breaking wave jolted and attack on Eris good enough

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:36 AM

#

like it says, knockback effects make enemies get slapped by lighting

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:37 AM

#

if it comes up I'll probably take it

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 2:37 AM

#

another god thats great to get with eris is aphrodite

turbid stag Nov 3, 2021, 2:37 AM

#

You need a non dash Poseidon boon to get it just FYI

#

And if you get dash then breaking wave

#

that’s super based just so that lol

runic halo Nov 3, 2021, 2:37 AM

frosty girder Duo boons are a bit obscure tbh

Agree.. Im Not a big Reader in games, i Just play and most skip 😇

So i didnt take that deep Look in the Codex

#

But now the mechanics in my mind and 2nd time in a row i came stage 4.

But last Boss in stage 3 always pretty Hard for me.

Beginning is good but then they catch me

frosty girder Nov 3, 2021, 7:44 AM

#

Take out one then the other

#

Don’t soften them both up

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:03 AM

#

specifically take out asterius before getting theseus down to half hp

marsh vector Nov 3, 2021, 8:07 AM

#

Ah ok good to know

#

One question to bow... Is Holding Attack still Attack for boons?

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:10 AM

#

yes

#

otherwise the bow would be useless?

marsh vector Nov 3, 2021, 8:11 AM

#

I mean Power shot

#

Sry

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:11 AM

#

yeah. thered be no point in doing it if it reduced your damage

keen briar Nov 3, 2021, 8:14 AM

#

which weapon is best for magaera shield or spear?

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:15 AM

#

best to try them both out

keen briar Nov 3, 2021, 8:16 AM

#

ok

#

in magaera boss fight can i won if only concentrate on boss without small enemies?

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:18 AM

like ignoring the adds she spawns?

#

yes

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:19 AM

Max out/reach a certain relationship level with Meg, Than, Dusa, Skelly, and Achilles

Not all at once just focus on one of those and you’ll get one

leaden whale Nov 3, 2021, 12:55 PM

I recommend aiming for meg and than, though they take more hearts, but Sisyphus is a good first

distant notch Nov 3, 2021, 3:20 PM

Question... The Deadalus boons are all random right? I don't need to have a prereq to get them? I'm still missing one for the bow and one for the rail and they just never seem to appear.

gray haven Nov 3, 2021, 3:25 PM

#

Some upgrades can't appear on some aspects, and some are unique to hidden aspects.

distant notch Nov 3, 2021, 3:25 PM

#

Ohhhhh... That would explain it then! I have been using the same aspect for those two weps

dusty vault Nov 3, 2021, 3:26 PM

Also some hammer block others from apearing too

distant notch Nov 3, 2021, 3:27 PM

ohhh I didn't think about that

restive rivet Nov 3, 2021, 3:47 PM

damn, 38 runs and I still can't beat last boss 😦

#

With what builds people usually beat him at least once?

#

First stage is easy, but second stage is annihilating me

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 3:48 PM

#

well first runs are often scuffed af thanthink

#

second phase mainly you should be either hiding behind pillars or hugging dad when he uses lasers

#

and when he summons pots, go around breaking them to make a safe area or have dad break em himself

restive rivet Nov 3, 2021, 3:51 PM

#

hmm, interesting, will try that. Ty

viscid notch Nov 3, 2021, 4:15 PM

#

restive rivet With what builds people usually beat him at least once?

First time I beat him was with Flurry Jab Spear, but as UnAnanas said early runs have mediocre builds at best most of the time, I got a lot of my early wins with Chiron and Heartrend tho, like up to 20-30 wins, it's somewhat safe at that level and does good dmg

So this is super noobish but I just learned that you can mod Hades... I mean, I don't typically use mods or anything in any other game but the fact that so many mods exist is just interesting to me

strange fjord Nov 3, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

I wonder if you can change the stygian sword to a lightsaber

slow ferry Nov 3, 2021, 5:41 PM

#

Changing the weapons visually is one of the harder things to do. The modders don't have the 3d models so they'd have to paint over every single frame of animation

strange fjord Nov 3, 2021, 5:59 PM

#

shadegrief

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 6:01 PM

something something the software and stuff used for animations in the game is super expensive from a modder's perspective

austere prism Nov 3, 2021, 7:47 PM

#

left gale coronacht? i prefer aspect of charon since dio/aphro can do some crazy damage on...

Don’t have that I think

#

Still haven’t beaten the final boss

left gale Nov 3, 2021, 7:51 PM

#

coronacht is the bow i believe

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 7:55 PM

#

they prolly dont have the titan blood for chiron

#

@austere prism if you just have the base bow then you can just stick doom on attack and athena on special. the base dps isnt amazing without good hammers or titan blood investment so a doom build works pretty well, especially if you get merciful end and impending doom

austere prism Nov 3, 2021, 8:09 PM

#

Weeeeel I kinda spent all my Titan blood on aspect of zag

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

austere prism Weeeeel I kinda spent all my Titan blood on aspect of zag

how much? zag bow is great

austere prism Nov 3, 2021, 8:10 PM

#

Actually I have Chiron but it’s lv1

#

Zag bow is maxed out

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:11 PM

#

oh thats good

#

you can either stick aphrodite or artemis on the attack

austere prism Nov 3, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

How is weak any good? Dosent it just lower damage

#

Of enimies

viscid notch Nov 3, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

Aphro has big % aswell

#

And lowering enemy dmg means you're less likely to die

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

if you have aphro attack then put artemis on either special or cast or do the same with artemis attack and put aphro on dash or special

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:12 PM

#

The thing about boons is that

#

It also increases ur base damage

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

aphro has the highest base atk% of all the gods and gives access to two really good duo boons

dusty vault Nov 3, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

and solid boons in general

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

weak is pretty huge for increasing survivability yeah

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:13 PM

#

There’s also other that increase damage done to weak enemies

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:14 PM

#

with aphro attack you also want to get zeus on your call and if you get smouldering air youve pretty much won the run

#

also flurry shot plus double or triple shot is really good dps

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:15 PM

#

Btw

#

Aphro legendary

#

The 15% charm

#

Does it work well with fast weapon?

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:16 PM

#

well yeah youll charm enemies really easily

#

its kinda annoying against dad though

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

Charm lock boss would be nice lol

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

since after losing charm his next attack will have no wind up

#

and the duration is really short

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

Well but u can tell his next attack

#

So can have dash ready

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:17 PM

#

yeah ig

#

though tbh fast weapons dont really like aphro attack to begin with

#

ig you could go aphro special chiron or flurry bow

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:18 PM

#

In pvp, stunlock tends to do well

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 8:18 PM

#

theyre ranged too which is safer

indigo zealot Nov 3, 2021, 8:18 PM

#

So just wondering

#

But I suppose the dmg might not be as ideal

#

And might not do td3 well

distant notch Nov 3, 2021, 8:31 PM

#

110 runs in and I finally tried Charon's aspect. lol It's definitely much better than the other aspects I've tried but Coronacht is still the worst weapon for me. >_>

dusty vault Nov 3, 2021, 8:31 PM

#

why do all people confuse charon with chiron ~~even im not safe from that~~

distant notch Nov 3, 2021, 8:32 PM

Whoops, sorry misspelled!

I even misspelled misspelled... lol

grizzled sky Nov 3, 2021, 9:18 PM

Erm

#

When you upgrade the aspect of demeter

for the fists

it's at heroic rarity

I still can’t get pass Hydra. Like, I do a lot of dmgs but I’m also talking a lot of dmgs and just die.

grave storm Nov 3, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

it alternates between the ground pound and its unique attack, so stay away when necessary

#

the pillars can block projectiles

polar finch Nov 3, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

well its pretty much just dont stand right under the hydra. the hydra wont repeat the same attack back to back so if it does a ground slam then that means you can go up close and attack

#

if it does a non ground slam attack that means you should be prepared for the ground slam, so approach the hydra and bait out the slam then dash away before committing the attack

grave storm Nov 3, 2021, 9:43 PM

#

when the small heads come out, start from one side and work towards the other. But, if one side starts getting too crowded don't be afraid to move away

#

Divine Dash is your friend, esp with the purple one that send shockwaves fanning out

leaden whale Nov 3, 2021, 9:49 PM

Yea, I finally got to the third part of the small heads and it became a bullet hell game. The second part was a lot but the third part was a bullet hell.

its mostly just having a good build and learning his attacks ||one thing to note is during his laser attack you can hug him really closely and not take danage from them though its risky compared to hiding behind the pillars||

Yeah only related ones are incompatible except for two

Hunting Blades and Freezing Vortex are incompatible. Cold Embrace and Crystal Clarity are incompatible. Curse of Drowning and Mirage Shot are incompatible. Ice Wine and Scintilating Feast are not incompatible.

So it only matters for casts too

Other duos are all compatible

winged holly I unlocked all the weapon and beat the game twice, I dont see the option

did you just unlock all the weapons? after a run after doing that skelly should have a dialogue bit then if you go to a weapon and equip it you can interact with its empty slot area

Is ambrosia worth trading in for titan’s blood while I’m still trying to upgrade my aspects?

#

Or should I save my ambrosia for other things first?

#

I haven’t encountered needing to spend it yet

gray haven Nov 4, 2021, 6:35 AM

#

It's fine to trade in Ambrosia for Titan Blood. Maybe keep a couple on hand, though.

#

Stronger weapon aspects will help you gain more resources, anyway.

slim dome Nov 4, 2021, 6:52 AM

polar finch Nov 4, 2021, 7:39 AM

#

slim dome Any in particular that I should prioritize?

you can give it to npc's for whom youve reached and unlocked their locked hearts which is after like 6 or so nectars. in particular meg, than, dusa, sisyphus, skelly, and achilles will give you a useful item after doing so

slim dome Nov 4, 2021, 7:56 AM

#

Tysm. I had been gifting Cerberus and Nyx the most, but I’m still gifting nectars.
I’m missing some keepsakes. Are there NPCs that I’ve missed giving nectar to, or are those the rewards from gifting ambrosia?

#

I can’t think of any NPCs I haven’t given nectar to. Even Chaos, Charon, and Thanatos have gotten at least one

polar finch Nov 4, 2021, 7:58 AM

#

theres like two keepsakes you need to further progress the story for to unlock

indigo zealot Nov 4, 2021, 9:39 AM

#

understandable that u wanna gift Cerberus

#

but most npcs, the more nectars u gift them, the more dialogues they would unlock

#

and Cerberus... well i think u can imagine not much dialogues u would get from him... 😦

alpine ridge Nov 4, 2021, 11:46 AM

#

you can track your nectar/ambrosia progress from the hearts bar beside the character in the Codex

#

you basically have to fill all of them up

They are both viable picks, in terms of dps I think flurry does a bit more, but it also removes the whole powershot mechanic so it takes some getting used to, what is the third option that you got offered?

polar finch Nov 4, 2021, 8:17 PM

with asterius its mostly important to quickly get behind him when he attacks since hes locked in a direction after the wind up and if you dash to the side youll likely get hit by the waves he makes in his second phase

#

also dw elysium doesnt count as a spoiler

leaden whale Nov 4, 2021, 8:18 PM

Oh ok

polar finch Nov 4, 2021, 8:18 PM

also in his second since he can turn around and send the waves behind him you should use one dash to get behind and save the other to dodge those

i think as you get more familiar with the game and consistently make it to asphodel, the big thing to overcome is the twitchiness, always wanted to mash attack and dash

What builds are good for the sword

leaden whale Nov 5, 2021, 2:12 PM

#

artemis attack and aphrodite special -> heart rend duo boon

#

artemis attack and athena special -> deadly reversal duo boon (you can also get athena dash)

#

pretty much anything works on the sword, though it is a little hammer dependant

#

if you get flurry slash, definitely something like zeus attack

leaden whale Here does anyone know any myths about Hades I have a school project on him

There is one (1) myth ABOUT Hades. He was a fairly new creation of the Greeks so it makes sense

#

Originally the three god-brothers were basically rolled up into one character. The mycanean Poseidon. The mycanean Poseidon was the earthquake god, king of the gods, and the God of the dead. Later on he was split into three different characters, those being Zeus, Hades and the modern Greek Poseidon

Isnt there like nothing about Zagreus too

restive portal Nov 5, 2021, 7:00 PM

Zagreus does exist in some versions of the myth. To believe that the Olympian myths are a single coherent thing is a mistake, there are just more or less well known versions.

I know I should learn other weapons but I really like the spear tho

celest fox Nov 5, 2021, 9:16 PM

That's fine. You probably dont even have the whole weapon unlocked yet

So you might find one that you like on another weapon

#

Spear for example can be really good with casts

lament current Nov 5, 2021, 9:18 PM

so im a new player! and really I only joined as I have 1 question, how do I make the bow good? i have tried many runs with it and just I hate it! compared to the rest of the weapons (other then the gun which is second worst weapon) its the worst weapon in the game it feels like, shots are slow, you cant move while aiming (same reason I dont like the gun) doing a dash hit is almost impossible to hit.. whats to like about the bow?

Kbm does probably make it harder but you'll get used to it.

No you dash then charge then dash

i dont have any trouble shooting enemies with dash strikes

grave storm Nov 5, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

when you're charging the shot you're standing still, so use the mouse to aim

celest fox Nov 5, 2021, 9:21 PM

#

You shoot off a power shot then dash with it

#

That's how you get them off quick

#

You can also get hammers that change it

polar finch Nov 5, 2021, 9:22 PM

#

lament current how am I supposed to hit a target when im moving and dont know where im shooting...

wdym you dont know where youre shooting from

celest fox Nov 5, 2021, 9:23 PM

#

Like flurry shot. Which stops powershots entirely but you rapidly shoot even while dashing

#

Though you dont like the gun either

gilded flume Nov 5, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

lament current so im a new player! and really I only joined as I have 1 question, how do I make...

I agree. It's lower DPS than the other weapons and the "extra range advantage" is almost useless when enemies can hit you from anywhere on screen or even off screen. And you can just stunlock them with the other close range weapons anyway. I kind of like using the aspect that lets you cast with your attack, but even then I still find it difficult. Having a dash boon really helps with this weapon when you need quick damage.

#

The rail is also tricky, but I like it better. The rail's special is really good, you should use it if you're not using it already.

grave storm Nov 5, 2021, 9:27 PM

all the bow slander is making me take +50% dmg

polar finch Nov 5, 2021, 9:28 PM

lament current Nov 5, 2021, 9:38 PM

polar finch wdym you dont know where youre shooting from

I don't know where my dash will end usually or where the enemy will be by the time my dash ends, usually I miss most of my shots as it is since they are moving while I aim or I need to suddenly dash away as someone gets to close before im ready to shoot my shot

celest fox Nov 5, 2021, 9:38 PM

Ideally you will dash to make enough distance that you get powershots

and avoid basiaclly all damage as dash recharge is really short it feels like

Do they always need to be stun locked?

just know that relying on stunlocking wont improve your skills and wont work when against bosses or armored enemies

Ideally you just do enough damage to kill them asap

#

Once their armor is off

#

Practice backstabs in Asphodel, on bloodless

bosses just became learn and dodge, armored enemies are just knock them around until that armor breaks tbh

Those are a bit tougher but that's also a good example of controlled dashing

#

Because they hit hard and heavy up front but leave their backs vulnerable for a fairly long time
