could still get crap rng tho lol
muted pivot
i dont like ME builds because its really painful to get everything for it
swift stirrup
true
muted pivot
if you really want to focus on getting the duo you can run legacy and it will still be fine
sweet brook
if you're running nemesis and want ME i'd go legacy because if you commit to ME and dont get it then you're toast
with demeter fists you at least have a super chunky special
dusty vault
Doom is fine alone, will take a while but still
And you still have 2 athena boons so is safe
muted pivot
yeah i wouldnt say youre toast lol
sweet brook
i mean fair but it'd be extremely slow compared to nearly any other build
muted pivot
welcome to ME
sweet brook
that's why i dont run it lol
sweet brook
i remember one time i got such bad rng that i didn't get ddash or ME and got promptly slapped by the end boss lmao
sweet brook
lmao naturally
muted pivot
ngl though you get some fat doom numbers on those from dire misfortune
sweet brook
it stacks like what +14 or something each time?
muted pivot
just hard to proc ME lmao
muted pivot
it stacks like what +14 or something each time?
yeah at epic
sweet brook
14*7 is 98 extra damage from 1 special, another 112 for each afterward but then by the time you slap them again with your athena attack it'll proc itself at that point probably lol
muted pivot
with all the buffs you get doom numbers around like 600+ lol
sweet brook
wait what about that aphrodite ares duo
hits like 3 more times for 30% of the doom damage each time right?
that could be pretty good damage over time on chiron
esp with PS
since i suck with chiron do you want to give that a try lol
muted pivot
wait what about that aphrodite ares duo
never used this before lol
idk how curse of longing works
sweet brook
if they're weak then they get hit with doom like 3 or something extra times but it's reduced damage each time
Your Doom effects continuously strike Weak foes.
Successive Hit Damage: 50%
(To clarify, each successive Doom hit will deal 50% of the previous one.)
ah 50% of the previous
well if it hits again twice that'd be +75% more doom ddamage
so that's not bad if your doom numbers are 600+ lol
sweet brook
Aphrodite: Heartbreak Strike, Heartbreak Flourish, Crush Shot, or Passion Dash
Ares: Curse of Agony or Curse of Pain
sweet brook
in theory it doesn't sound too stupid but we both know this is very stupid lol
muted pivot
this is so painful
sweet brook
lmfao
sweet brook

luckily this is curse of longing

the dash makes ME good, but you can't get ME if you only have the dash
i heard they had to nerf the conditions for ME because of how strong it was

I am so bad at fishing in every single game, this one is no exception- any tips on how to git gud with the fishies?
sweet brook
when you hear a ding hit the button
merry roost
Much easier to do based on the sound, yeah
Personally I look away from the screen while fishing
somber frigate
If it’s bobbed three times already it’s guaranteed the next one will be the fish
gray haven
Nyaanyaa's Fishing Guide
There can only be three fake bobs, so the fourth bob is always real if the first three were fake. Fake bobs have an interval of 2-5 seconds while the real bob has an interval of 1-2 seconds. So if it takes more than 2 seconds, it should be a fake bob. Meaning you should look for the real bob within a short time after you start fishing or within a short time after a previous bob.
Personally, I just look for the white flash above the bobber and ignore the bobber itself. Some players have said they have better success when putting their thumb on the bobber to not get distracted by that, so maybe you could give that a try.
A Perfect Catch means catching a fish within 340ms. Perfect Catches are 50/50 on being a legendary or rare fish. Any other catch is 50/50 on being a rare or common fish.
muted pivot
lol time to add that to the list of guides
gray haven
Already done. 
To my own list anyway. Dunno if there's another one.
Welcome!
Well, you're not really expected to get super far early on while you're still upgrading your mirror and stuff.
You can check the pins in this channel for a couple guides of mine for newbies that I think will answer your question and also give you some pointers that will help. 
On a scale of 1–10, I would rate Hades a Lady Aphrodite is the main character.
Literally the first pin has tiers for weapon aspects at different levels.
Can you see the weapon aspects yet?
They'll unlock once you've unlocked all 6 weapons, but you need to do another run and come back to the House of Hades to be able to unlock aspects with Titan Blood.
sweet brook
i heard that someone's working on a mod for multiplayer which is pretty neat
other than that i have no clue how it's gonna work
junior turtle
i have quest: use all buffs from Daedalus for Aegis shield
can i pick one type of shield and roll all hammer buffs
or some buffs appear for specific type of shield?
zenith sparrow
All weapons are insane in their own way
sword is a good middle ground, jack of all trades
spear is clunky but has much more range than the sword,
shield offers extreme mobility at the cost of low ranged options
Bow offers inane raned options with a lack of multi hit options
fists offer great amounts of aoe and combos as well as mobility but lack in range
railgun offers great sustained damage over range and good aoe but a lack of overall dps.
gray haven
Don't agree with much of that tbh.
leaden whale
depends do you like range the bow or rail, up close & personal the sword and fists, or do you want something iin the middle shield & spear.
rapid wedge
hello. i m looking for weapon tier list pls
merry roost
hello. i m looking for weapon tier list pls
It isn't exactly a tier list so much as recommendations for new players, but the most recent pin in this channel should help.
rapid wedge
It isn't exactly a tier list so much as recommendations for new players, but the...
so the bow aspect of hera is the best for a beginner with 2 titan blood?
merry roost
Yeah Hera is amazing. I think Aphrodite's Cast is the easiest to use with it, but there are other options.
I am not, however, an expert
sweet brook
hera is good if you like bow
it's just like normal bow but with big damage
honestly all the aspects are pretty good at level 1 or 2 except for like chaos, hades, and most of the zag aspects
merry roost
I do like Zag Rail tho
Keep in mind that your playstyle may not be perfectly in line with the recommendation list, and if you don't like the Hera bow, you can always try another weapon @rapid wedge
sweet brook
zag rail isn't bad, more bullets = more damage
but also eris can give a universal damage boost if you blast yourself with a special so just use eris lol
sweet brook
Keep in mind that your playstyle may not be perfectly in line with the recommend...
this point is extremely true
everyone praises how good eris is but i just dont like rail lmao
rapid wedge
Keep in mind that your playstyle may not be perfectly in line with the recommend...
I like the twin fists a lot, but i m looking now for something to clear quickly with my 2 titan blood
merry roost
Hera is a good start then, for sure
topaz jasper
overall shield bow and gun are the best weapons
sweet brook
I don't think you can get Hera with only 2 titan blood isn't it like 3
merry roost
Oh I don't remember that
muted pivot
overall shield bow and gun are the best weapons
||taser|| is pretty good too
oops forgot to spoiler mb
somber frigate
I mean ||nuke|| is kinda the best weapon but thats not really accessible at this point in the game

thats a good point
carmine wave
I dont have a screenshot bc im playing on ps4, but one of my death defiances has an Athena sign in it , but i dont remember taking any boons from her that could give me a death defiance, does anybody know what it could be?
sweet brook
she has 2 boons that can refill a death defiance
one of them you restore more hp when you use DD, the other you become invincible for a few seconds after you use DD
and with both you get a free one from her
carmine wave
oh ok i got the "more hp when you use DD" i didnt know it gave one too but hey im not complaining
sweet brook
lmao yeah
carmine wave
||charon fight|| in asphodel maybe wasnt the greatest idea
the bonus DD from athena is what made me survive
i still have no idea how to deal with that fight
any tips?
carmine wave
how do u get achiles to say the funny words to get the 4th spear
i have all the other requirements
at least im pretty sure
muted pivot
put 5 blood into non zag aspects on any weapon, reach the surface, then just go through a ton of dialogue of his until he gives you the waking phrase
it can take a longggg time
carmine wave
once i got to the surface once can i just die in 4 seconds for a bunch of runs until he gives it or do i have to go to the surface every single run to have a chance at unlocking it
dusty vault
Only once
||Also for hidden spear is unlocking 5 apsects across all weapons, not invest 5 blood||
Also needs list of minor prophecies

alr well as i said i have all the other requirements so i guess im just gonna murder Zagreus a bunch of times

fist/spear
sweet brook
Merciful end on fist is gonna be the fastest
And strongest
And most high roll
Demeter fist preferably but any of them work tbh
Spear you can probably also do the same thing with Achilles aspect
Or you can use a cast build with Achilles aspect
Hunting blades, ||crystal beams||, zeus or Athena cast and their duo

spring forge
Does your powers reset when you die? I feel like I get stronger, but some of my abilities seem to reset after I die and try again
I'm very bad at fighting games so it's a very slow process for me if some things reset
merry roost
Things on your mirror do not reset
If you picked it up during the run, it resets when you die
But there are some items you keep like darkness, gems, etc.
maiden ruin
Hades is not a fighting game 
spring forge
Ah- T.T So the boons the gods give are temporary
merry roost
But you do fight things
merry roost
Ah- T.T So the boons the gods give are temporary
Yes.
maiden ruin
But you do fight things
Then every game with an enemy is a fighting game
merry roost
Your terms are acceptable
spring forge
Ok- let me rephrase- I'm not good at the fighting aspect of this game.
merry roost
You can get keepsake that you can equip from each Olympian that makes them guaranteed to appear once + give higher chance at greater boon rarity by giving them a Nectar. You get to keep the keepsake forever btw. (The Keepsake for Hermes does something different, because forcing Hermes to appear would be busted)
spring forge
Oh, yeah- that much I get 🙂
I thought the god's boons all stayed and was confused when I restarted weak again
merry roost
Unfortunately no. But the luck aspect of the game is a big part of the fun when you get used to it
spring forge
At the moment I don't mind it cause the art is so beautiful, and I love the commentary
I'm dying a lot though
merry roost
Don't feel too bad about that, it's quite normal to die a lot early on
viscid notch
Basically meta rewards are Darkness Gemstones Keys Nectar Diamonds Titan Blood Ambrosia, anything you buy with these is permanent, the rest is temporary and resets when you start a new run

That’s most people, you’re still starting out, you get better with practice
spring forge
It took forever to get past the first boss fight in Witcher 3 with the griffon XD
I... don't understand godmode though- that's temporary, right?

It's a setting you can turn on or off whenever you want
It increases your damage resistance, and it gets stronger the more times you've died

viscid notch
And some enemies are not allowed to spawn there
But regardless, the general consensus is to take whatever you need
viscid notch
so bad for ||heat||/speedrunning unless it's really important nectar/key vs dark...
Should spoiler ||heat|| here too btw
topaz jasper
good catch
viscid notch
It’s better
And this is obviously not 100% the case, but it’s supposed to be, comparing 2 rooms when you only get to see whats behind one of them is tough, and not much thought has gone into this by the community, enemy types and tiles etc are too much to take into account so it’s not seen as a big deal
topaz jasper
I see
so basically too many variables to take into account so just ignore "increased difficulty" when you don't care about the actual blue laurel rewards
viscid notch
Yea pretty much, if you see something you need like a key, take it, even if it’s not an elite room, if you don’t need either options take the elite one
spring forge
I'll be excited if I manage to finish the game XD I'm not here for laurels XD
spring forge
Why do some boons cancel out others?
topaz jasper
like remove effects or not compatible?
muted pivot
the core boons (the ones in the slots on the left) wont stack with eachother
so you cant get like ares attack and athena attack
there are also some boons and hammers that just prevent you from getting others
like you cant get triple shot and twin shot at the same time
spring forge
That's fair cause one is an upgrade
OK, so like, the left side confuses me
I suppose that's why. I guess I didn't really understand how that worked
viscid notch
They are the main slots that empower what Zag does, such as the Attack, Special, Cast and Dash, those are known as your core boons and you can only have 1 at a time in each slot as mentioned earlier, sometimes you can get a swap, which might be what confused you
spring forge
nods
So if I have an attack power boost, then I take a second power boost, it'll over write it? Or just not offer if?
topaz jasper
you won't get offered an attack boost usually
sometimes the game will offer a replacement which is clearly indicated so you won't miss it
spring forge
viscid notch
Let’s say you take an Artemis attack, it’ll fill that core slot, let’s say you see an Ares afterwards and take his boon, there is a very high chance that he wont offer an attack replace, instead he’ll offer other core boons such as the Dash or Special for example and a lot of the time gods offer supporting boons that you can see on the side, they don’t fill any slots
spring forge
I've been so confused XD
Oh, so I don't need to worry unless it tells me
Will I know if it's a better boon?
topaz jasper
yeah you won't ever lose a core slot boon unless you replace it
muted pivot
Will I know if it's a better boon?
yeah it gives you the stats of the old boon and new boon
topaz jasper
replaced boons will have one higher rarity and be the same level
heroic boons can't be part of a replacement
spring forge
So always worth doing
topaz jasper
it's rarely worth it
viscid notch
You’ll learn with experience what boons go well with what weapons
But rarity and level and numbers don’t mean a whole lot
topaz jasper
if it's on a core boon you're using you usually hand picked the god you want on that slot
viscid notch
Synergies matter more
spring forge
S....ynergies?
muted pivot
"the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects."
thats a terrible definition
spring forge
YUP
topaz jasper
synergies are a hoax invented by big olympus to sell us more duo boons
muted pivot
lmaoo
spring forge
So keeping the boons from different gods is good
viscid notch
Just your boons working together and your build making sense
Not just random stuff thrown around
But it takes time to get there
And influencing builds without a fully upgraded mirror is tricky so don’t worry too much about it, just try to get a general idea of what goes where
spring forge
I just got the next rank in the mirror. Only missing death defiance
*the last death defiance
The 500 orb one
viscid notch
Nice
spring forge
180 orbs in 🤞
The dying and coming back to try again is a cool way of not needing save files ❤️
viscid notch
Try to unlock all the base weapons, they’re cheap compared to the later ranks of the mirror
topaz jasper
also gives you access to aspects which are great
spring forge
Oh, OK. I'll focus more on the weapons then :)
spring forge
Oh man- I want to look at the fan art but can't cause I have no idea who some of the characters are still T.T

whats the best way to farm Darkness? Should I quit after Tartarus and start again, or go along till the end?
topaz jasper
whats the best way to farm Darkness? Should I quit after Tartarus and start agai...
all the way to the end
look for chaos eclipse boons
rapid wedge
looking for the best combo of Mirror of Darkness?
sweet brook
whats the best way to farm Darkness? Should I quit after Tartarus and start agai...
first of all, hitting "quit" just sends you to the title screen, hitting "give up" makes you lose all your progress so no point in hitting either. you'd have to die in order to start again and keep your progress
secondly, like what snapnova said, chaos eclipse boons will give you a % bonus to rewards.
another way to increase this is ocean's bounty from poseidon to increase the % you get. sunken treasure from poseidon also gives you resources but doesn't incrase the % you get
muted pivot
the main reason you just play the run in full is because later bosses give way more darkness
meg gives like 60 and ||hades|| gives like 300
sweet brook
spoiler that last one
also if you're trying to farm darkness would it be better to turn off dark foresight
muted pivot
probably not because you get slower runs, and most of your darkness comes from bosses
you get almost none from actual rooms
sweet brook
i mean fair but with enough % bonuses the 10/12 can turn into a decent number can't it
and if you're farming darkness the speed doesn't matter too much does it
muted pivot
well the speed does matter because the more runs you get in the more darkness you get
sweet brook
true i guess

Hah- 20 attempts. Was I suppose to get it in 20 attempts? I must really be a bad player T.T
pulsar sparrow
what are u at rn
spring forge
I just got past Meg XD
I'm not good at games though. I didn't buy games for a long time cause I played Tombraider and could never finish it cause it was too hard for me. I'm only playing Hades cause I'm told that you get stronger and stronger the more you play it
I didn't want to play for ages cause I'm very bad at games that require playing computer games for years prior 😦
I haven't found god mode yet, but I'm having a lot of fun ^^
sweet brook
Everyone advances at their own pace, no need to be in any rush
Some can finish their first run below 20, others need more time and there's no shame in that
sweet brook
i use the fists
Merciful end is one of the strongest builds for fists but needs a lot of luck to work correctly
Ares attack, Athena special, duo boon ME and then get the dash
If you don't get ME by the time you get to the boss of Elysium then it's gonna be painful but doable still
pulsar sparrow
that skunds very difficult
is spear good
what doess ares attack and athena special mean
sweet brook
Spear is alright, Achilles aspect is pretty strong
sweet brook
what doess ares attack and athena special mean
Ares boon on your attack and Athena boon on your special
sweet brook
There is none
It's all personal preference and play style
If you like the fists then sure use them
Getting merciful end for your fists isn't too difficult tbh it's more of getting every other helpful boon to appear

what weapon is the best in general
shield, bow, gun are likely overall best

do this game have mechasim like perfect block or perfect dodge ?
dusk onyx
wel.. yes and no
theres no perfect dodge that would give you another bonus
but
while dashing you are invincible
not when the dash stops... and if you attack while dshing you can get damage
but if you just dash like crazy technicly they cant hit you....
viscid notch
do this game have mechasim like perfect block or perfect dodge ?
A perfect dodge technically exists which can be defined as a dash that procs RR or Lightning Reflexes, so a last second dash
A perfect block does not really exist tho, if you’re thinking of something like a parry, it’s not a thing in Hades
viscid notch
what weapon is beginner friendly ?
For beginner weapons Sword and Bow are definitely on the tougher side, they both have stricter rhythms compared to the rest of the weapons so they feel clunky when not played very well, for Sword you want to be using Dash strikes, your rotation would be normally something like Special > x2 Dash-strikes with a Cast for Boiling Blood on tougher enemies and bosses, for Bows you also want to be dash-striking, and you want to be hitting powershots for extra damage
viscid notch
i love chaos and zag shield tho...
They can be alright, they have more hammer reliance because they really want Charged Shot if you want to compare to Zeus Shield, Chaos Shield's whole Special gimmick is pretty underwhelming tho, the damage is just weak

Zag Shield and Chaos Shield Special unfortunately has very low base damage, and if you use it you're not allowed to use your Shield until it's back, so it's a hassle, the general idea is to put Flat Damage on it instead of buffing its base damage, which is good, but even putting Flat Damage on the attack instead and ignoring the Special would do a better job at dealing damage than the Special, but either way, you can play however you want, as long as you're having fun

Does boon overwrites each other even if does not says "will replace"? Or it will just stack?
sweet brook
only the core boons can be overwritten
and it'll say "will replace" whatever
if you're offered an attack boon from artemis and you already have an attack boon from athena, then it will be a replacement
opal ether
if you're offered an attack boon from artemis and you already have an attack boo...
Ohh! So two God boons can't stack? Gotta plan accordingly on taking boons.
sweet brook
well not for the same core boon
attack, special, cast, dash, and call
every other thing you can have multiple gods for
you can take say, static discharge from zeus and pressure points from artemis just fine. as long as it's not one of those 5 core boons
merry roost
There are some Duos that are incompatible with other Duos as well I think
sweet brook
yeah
opal ether
Cause when I see my boon's list the other boon is gone. Does that mean it stacks? I'm talking about boons without "will replace" thingy.
merry roost
If it says "Will replace" you keep the new one, and the old one is gone

there's a button to pull up every boon you've collected that run, both boons should be there

Try Dionysus special and Aphrodite atk

And if you can privileged status in the mirror
pulsar sparrow
what does that do
sweet brook
When an enemy has 2 status effects on them they take more damage
At max level it does +40% more damage
It's counter part is family favorites, which is also good but since you're applying 2 status effects PS is better
pulsar sparrow
At max level it does +40% more damage
that sounds amazing imma unlock that right after this run

You honestly don't need it as long as you have the core of Aphrodite atk Dionysus special
But it's a very nice bonus

starting with gods is good yeah
most of the time is first 2 biomes with god keepsakes (for any duo you wanna shoot/if they work for a build) then the rest is defensive keepsakes

Have you tried the wretched broker?

near fox
Yes
round jacinth
i've got the nectar, my problem is i'm not meeting than enough
near fox
Oh I see
I think the only thing you can do is die on purpose after you see them so that you can immediately try again
round jacinth
ah that would be pretty smart
just run as many chambers as possible to get as much chances to meet him as possible then?
does he only spawn in elysium? cuz i don't recall meeting him anywhere else
near fox

The lonely shade only spawns in elysium yes

Yeah lol elysium isn't exactly the easiest to get to
round jacinth
and then when i arrive there after meeting our friendly neighbourhood death incarnate i just dash into the purple butterfly balls and do it all again?
i'm really just trying to get any companions since i feel like just having 1 will always be better than none, i've tried meg but i can't seem to understand why she spawns in the house of hades and when she doesnt
near fox
Neither do I, for me, I'm only using nectar once per character to get the keepsakes and once I beat the final boss I'll start to gain more companions starting with the inhabitants of the house of hades
round jacinth
yeah that would probably make sense
i've beaten the game once already
now i'm just basically getting titan blood on every weapon and then putting the heat 1 more

For hammers Concentrated Volley and Relentless Volley are your top options, for boons you usually go for Artemis' Special + Aphro's attack and try to get Heartrend, or you go with Dionysus Special (pom it as much as you can), and add Aphro attack then look for Low Tolerance, if you come across Ares you can pick up Curse of Vengeance too because that opens Curse of Nausea
Should also pair up the latter build with Pstatus on the mirror

correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure it's a boon that comes from two different gods
viscid notch
what is a "Duo" rank Boon?
It's a boon that has prerequisites from 2 gods, once met it can be offered by either
And not all duos are op, in fact that Duo is considered one of the very niche weak ones
You don't need duos to make good builds and have good damage etc
sick jackal

but life regen??
Im like, always at max HP
if I get hit I heal the full damage in like 5 seconds
viscid notch
It is only if you have no DDs
sick jackal
yeah which you only get one of
once it's gone, it's gone
so the rest of the run I have permanent life regen
And yes, I know there' the alt skill that grants one per chamber
But still, point stands
Makes it very hard to die
viscid notch
Then there you go, that's one of the niche situations where it's quite nice, but when you have 3 DDs and start just overall getting better and getting hit less you tend to barely ever proc that Duo

There isn't much you can do to alter the rng at this point, the keepsake guarantees you 1 boon from Ares, but if you already got that then it's only a rarity boost and nothing more, other things you can do are basically filling up your god pool early, which makes you only see the gods in that pool and no other gods so you have good odds there
round jacinth
wait what do you mean by filling up the god pool
viscid notch
wait what do you mean by filling up the god pool
The game will throw random gods at you, aside from the keepsakes of course, when you have seen 4 gods, excluding Hermes and Chaos, your god pool is full, and you wont see any random gods anymore, you'll only see those 4 going forward
round jacinth
ah that makes sense
viscid notch
For a god to be in your god pool you have to take a boon from them, and selling does not remove the god from the pool
round jacinth
so i constantly go for god boons when i see them in the doors then?

yeah probably
i do think having a full dio build would be strong in a lot of fights
viscid notch

Well, you would like decent supporting stuff from the rest of the gods so it's okay to be a bit picky about them, but sometimes yes you just pick up whatever say if you have 3 gods and you need a fourth, you probably wont care much in that case, usually builds revolve around 2 gods, so you kinda want to leave Tartarus with a god of your choice, which you use the keepsake for, and 2 gods that can be decent or are just fillers, then you force another god in Asphodel and there you go, that fills your pool

You'll see more boons, pom, other stuff idk

is gods legacy or gods pride better?
viscid notch
Pride usually, unless you heavily rely on a duo or more, even when you do alot of builds still opt for Pride
Because Epic boons are good, especially Hermes and Chaos
round jacinth
but isnt legendary gonna be better?
viscid notch
No
round jacinth
i thought legendary was just better version of epic
viscid notch
Nope
round jacinth
welp
viscid notch
Legendary boons work differently
round jacinth
but epic is just a better version of rare right?
viscid notch
The rarity after Epic is Heroic
viscid notch

You can send pics by uploading it somewhere else and linking it here, discord will embed it

You can
You can also just send it in a private server if you have that
Or upload to imgur or any hosting site

Read the mirror guide and copy it lol
Quite a few problems here that the guide can solve

i'd like to be able to save in the house of hades
when i'm doing like weapon upgrades or nectar stuff it's nice to know what i did will stay
viscid notch
When you do your upgrades and whatnot just enter a different chamber
The game will save automatically
