theres gun in hades?
Apparently, I haven't unlocked it yet. You have to reload it after you run out of ammo
Frog prefers loner to it, that's how bad his hate for that weapon is
It's SO fucking bad.
But apparently there's an aspect that makes it usable.
I aint about to grind titan blood for that though, I've got to upgrade Stygius first.
Hexagryph is the very last weapon you can unlock btw.
That's what kinda makes me nervous that I might end up liking it. Idc how good a weapon is, and it literally can not be worse to use than the hades 2 weapon I hate... 4 ammo that you have to manually move towards to pick back up(It has a dash like the shield which can help, but, still) like the hades 1 casts...
You start with Stygius, then Achilles spear (the name eludes me), Heartseeker, and Shield of Chaos become unlockable, then there's the Fists of Chaos, then there's Hexagryph.
"numbers wise" doing some heavy lifting here
So far my 2 favorite weapons are the spear and the bow, the shield is definitely growing on me tho
Fists will become unlockable after you get everything before it, and Hexagryph will become unlockable once you get Fists.
the sword I can't get a feel for, yet, but I think I will end up liking it more later
Apparently only if you run a specific aspect.
Aspect of strife I think
oh btw phill
If 3 of 4 aspects are bad then it's a bad weapon.
Stygius gets better once you get aspects unlocked and can get the Poseiden aspect.
Either way I was using aspect of demeter fists
I'm guessing the knockback helps a lot, with the sword?
Each of the aspects do something fun, and Poseidens aspect for Stygius will dislodge cast diamonds when you use your special attack on enemies that have them stuck in them.
i need help to yassify yamato phill
twink up frog boy herre is saying i need to use purple n pink

Actually knockback is bad on Stygius, funnily enough.
Huh
You want knockback on shield.
The bow works with knockback as well, same the spear's q
Because shield only has one basic attack.
You absolutely do not want knockback on special for shield though.
bash, charge, attempt to captain america it
It's your crowd control tool.
Does it auto bounce to more enemies?
Like if there's a bunch of numbskulls you can throw it and oneshot all of them.
Yeah.
Holy fuck
Bounces 3 times iirc.
So 4 hits then it returns
Zeus special gets silly with it because it'll chain lightning on every hit.
It's like a better cc version of the spear's throw then
Assuming I'm remembering it correctly.
What I am currently trying to do is gift a nectar to zeus for his keepsake, but, I haven't gotten to do that yet
Also: the alt area 1 bosses are fucking rough
Most of the keepsakes from the gods are bad.
Chaos keepsake is good.
The rest are icky.
Maybe, but, being able to start with a zeus boon on a weapon it works with sounds good <.<
Wow cool better rarity on boons, if only they were permanent upgrades and not passives I sacrifice better things for.
zeus + the triple strike no spin attack spear attack sounds really good to me
especially with jolted
If I were to rework keepsakes from the gods, I'd make the first thing you pick up be any boon from them of your choice.
However.
I know jolted is good, from the few hades 1 runs I have seen
You have to have picked up the boon before already.
And the passive part of better rarity would work when the keepsake isn't active, and it would be doubled if it is.
in hades 2 it lets you rarify a boon(up to legendary if it was a purple boon on the max lvl keepsake)
it ups the rarity by 1 level
If only Hades had mods...
does it just increase the chance for a higher rarity in hades 1? I didn't look closely at them
It also makes the first god of the run be the one who's keepsake you're holding
Iirc it makes the first thing you pick up be that specific gods boon (no daedalus hammer chance is sad) and it increases the rarity and frequency of that gods boons.
also, frog: tfw you get to the area 3 boss and have almost no good damage...
Any run that starts with a daedalus hammer is a potential banger run.
Elysium?
Yeahy
fighting that duo is rough, and I have never had good damage when I got to em
The trick is to kill the minotaur first.
that minotaur is an asshole
You get to practice against him because he is also the miniboss of the area.
I think I should probably just get doom on my attack or q button... cuz that seems to get me decent damage
Doom should be grabbed for a move you don't use much.
On Stygius, I will only grab doom on special.
Never attack or cast.
well... on the spear I switch between attack and q spam depending, on the bow I mostly attack spam and try for perfect shots, on the shield I mostly use the run at you attack, and on the sword I have no clue how to use the base form well
His strict passives are great though.
and now he has the yee yee ass haircut...
that's funny because my 2nd highest damage was cause of him... my highest was jolted zeus and zap attack iirc
Hes got one that is straight up more damage on basic attacks and special after you get a kill.
What did they do to my boy?
They gave him the autopistol treatment
i think
I haven't used his boons much yet in 2
NOOOOO
I have heard things tho
it can't be that bad surely
If Hades devs drop mod support for their first game then it'd be 100x better.
anything about his boons in 2 that I have heard is negative so far lol
they could just be people not knowing how to use them, tho
Oh also @placid fiber have you found Thanatos yet?
uh... um... which one is that?
God of Death.
no
Ares boons revolve around in increasing Melinoë's damage. Additionally, Ares has several boons that can grant his Status Curse Wounds which causes Melinoë's strike to gain +50 power and can be re-applied after 3 seconds
oops
He has random encounters where he will challenge you to slay more enemies than him.
Okay that is not the autopistol treatment
I think he means they made Ares ugly.
Quote, "yeeyee ass haircut."
Mortal Gain Earth
Whenever you ran out of Magick , Prime 15 Health until the next Location to restore some Magick .
▸ Magick Restored: 100/125/150/175
Is this hera two lol
I can't remember it looks like, I've only taken ares like 2 or 3 times... the 2nd time was the gift the nectar to him
Likely that nasty fucking mop haircut that so many zoomers like even though it's ugly asf.
Also, why isn't Hephaestus in Hades?
ok he gives you attack speed now
Just realized he just straight up isn't there.
because of how cancerous it is to have him be the pissed off god in double boon rooms
Also Apollo isn't in the first game, either...
damn
I wanted increased area on my attack or q lol
Fuck, how much of the pantheon is missing...
Blood Spree Earth
While you have less than 40 Health , your Attacks and Specials restore Health .
▸ Life Restore per Hit: 1/2/3/4
ehhh
but aight
Mutual Destruction Earth
Gain a chance to deal 200% damage that increases the less Health you have remaining.
▸ Chance per Missing Life Point: 0.1%/0.12%/0.14%/0.16%
so he is just straight up about damage now
damage and atk spd
doesn't he also have one that increases damage the more boons you have?
Running through the list, you get Zeus, Poseiden, Ares, Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Dionysus, Hermes, Chaos, and Demeter.
Rallying Cry
While you have 8 Earth , any of your damaging effects from Olympians are stronger.
▸ Olympian Bonus Damage: +50%
A good amount given the plot it makes sense that not everybody would be there
Hephaestus and Apollo are both on Olympus, though...
I know hermes has a boon that gives dodge chance based on how many boons you have
at purple it's 1% per boon
Yeah Hermes boons are super good.
Yeah, especially on the slower weapons in 2
There's one that's just a flat extra dodge.
"why yes I would like faster cast or attack/special speed, how did you know?"
RAAAAA HADES DEVS, GIVE MOD SUPPORT TO YOUR FIRST GAME AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
"Oh gold now and more gold per gold gain? I already clicked yes 1000 times"
I WISH TO BACK CODE THE BOONS AND GODS FROM THE SECOND GAME INTO THE FIRST GAME AND REWORK YOUR POOPY KEEPSAKES
Seriously, keepsakes are a super annoying investment and take a lot of time to max out in the first game, even if you run one room and die.
I honestly only consider the god keepsakes in 1 when I want that god for my starting one...
otherwise I generally take the attack/special damage when not having a boon on them at the start
really like how they reworked them for 2
yakub???
If I'm going for a serious run I'll run skele's tooth for a free death defy and then swap to cerby's collar.
incentivisinh swapping and shit
I'm guessing the t3 version of this is +100% damage, since the t2 is 75% and the t1 was 50%
also doesn't hades already have modding
do hammer affects count as boons for that hades 1 keepsake?
I... don't know?
I rmebe r watching haelian play some
I am not ready for accidentally having him be the mad god in double boon rooms, not after losing 2/3rds of my hp and like 100 armor in hades 2 in a god run...

IT EXISTS ON NEXUS WHAT THE HELL
Ok I'm gonna be bingeing Hades again.
Rest in pieces, my fingers.

I'm getting ready to probably play hades 1 some more for like the next 4 hours before work
I 100% will start a run with a daedalus hammer every time and have the choice extender be for every boon.
ever since my 1st 4 runs I've gotten really mid/bad runs. I even was so fed up with 1 of the runs I stood in the lava to end it in the 2nd area
Yeah rng sometimes just isn't fun.
Here's a tip, never go into the miniboss in Asphodel if you can help it.
ESPECIALLY if you can't attack from range.
I know I'm gonna get omega god runs I'll throw and omega shitty runs that I will somehow fucking clutch out for way too long
Yum... protein...
If you ever get a good run but you know you won't survive you can actually restart the run with the same seed.
It'll do everything exactly the same.
All spawns and choices for boons.
Wait... it's like hades 2 where if you end a run after wasting all rerolls you know you will get the same rerolls on that god next run(in that 1st area)?
I can't tell you how many times I've tried to get the chance for a double effect from poseiden on the 1st room and only like 1 time I've gotten it
I have no idea how Hades 2 mechanics work.
I'm just saying there's a restart function for the first game where it just sends you back to the start with the same seed.
well the 1st room(from a keepsake god run) will be the same if you reroll it and give up and start the run again on that side
So like, if your first boon was an Artemis boon, it will always be an Artemis boon on that seed with the same 3 choices.
It's like that, but, boon rerolls are the same as well
Well you don't get rerolls in the first game.
Damn lol
It's pick your poison and move on.
I was copium-ing over here that I would lol
Tbf, though, the gods are trying to break the natural order of things and drag you out of the underworld.
You care about spoilers?
@frosty herald @grizzled aspen pink lips or purple?
So basically, the final boss is Hades himself, and you get to exist outside of the underworld for about 5 minutes, and then Zagreus dies.
His body physically cannot exist outside of the underworld.
Ah, like mel(sort of)
Considering purple eyeshadow, pink.
Be sure you give him some super long eyelashes too.
Poor boy, all he wants is to be free but he's to goated to leave
I'm out here feeding the fire that will burn you down.
I will say I like zagrius' character more than mel from 2
To be fair, and to my knowledge, he is literally the God of Rebirth and Perseverence.
I like how there's dialogue if you get to Hades with no boons
good lord
THERES WHAT
YOU CAN DO THAT
and if you aren't in the underworld you can't give passing spirits said rebirth?
Wait hold on there is a purge fountain right before cerby.
I have no idea, that's just the theme of Zagreus.
I uploaded this video for those who are curious about what happens if you do not have any boons when you face Hades. Here you go.
- Pick as few boons as possible
- Sell as much boons as possible
- Get lucky on the Styx Rooms
- ?
- Profit
#Hades
Furies and titans do not return the same way he does.
I mean from the little I've seen of him he's goated imo. Mel isn't bad, but, she isn't that goated(at least not right off da bat)
At least, in myth, Helios (the only titan that can actually return) and furies have to return from the depths of tartarus.
All the other titans are either dead or imprisoned somewhere.
Zagreus, though, is just like "hey dad I'm gonna spawn from this pool of blood now."
hold on
"or somewhere" I know something but I'm not gonna say
I DIDNT SAY GIVE THAT MAN A BEAK
HOLY SHIT
WHATS HE GONNA DO WITH THAT
@frosty herald
Go on.
Welp I already know this song really works well for me while playing hades 2, so I am gonna listen to it while hades 1'ing
||Chronos||
That song specifically really works well for me especially with the theme of fighting in the night and when you die you come back
Chronos or Kronos?
Uh
Two different people.
Kronos is the big 3's father.
It's the bigger asshole
Chronos is the god of time.
hang on
Scuse me it's not Kronos it's Cronus.
one is a god the other is a titan
Though there are some spellings and texts that refer to him as Kronos.
Anyway.
Chronos is a god.
The god of time, to be exact.
I'm gonna spoiler it, but, he's a real asshole
They note this with stuff like his ability to fucking unpause your game if you pause mid fight.
Heh, he tries
Yeah he's the god of time. Look at the "necklace" he wears. Its got numerals on it representing the numbers of a clock.
The number right above his sternum, XII, is 12.
Unlucky for him I literally have almost every brew done in 2 <.<
To the right of that is I, being 1.
I can see where you'd get him mixed up as a titan though.
Cronus and Chronos are very similar spellings.
I know he's a gigantic asshole, especially for what he does to the surface
Hell, Google tries to show you Cronus instead of Chronos when you Google Chronos.
uncle google just woke up, he's still a bit hung over
i have yamato a smoller nose
Technically, if Zagreus could get a hold of Chronos, he could get out of the underworld.
Time dilation is one of Chronos's powers.
The only part of this powerful song that doesn't fit hades 1 or 2 is the line "to the bible we're sworn" but the rest of the song really vibes with at least 2 for me. I'm gonna see how it vibes with 1
He could just stretch the amount of time Zagreus can be out of the underworld infinitely.
Though, knowing Greek myth, all the gods are assholes to each other, except in the case of Aphrodite and Hephaestus, so it would come at a steep cost.
(Aphrodite takes pity on Hephaestus because he is ugly)
That's hella fucking powerful, but, it's trumped by 2 things: triple moon beam attack boon affected version and invuln moon mode
Give him blush lines too.
later
That's a lot of words, magic man.
lemme ask yamato about nose side
I've literally melted the 2nd to last boss in the lower area in 2 with the triple moon beam in 2 beams(cuz at half it runs)
And each phase of chronos in 1 beam in like 2 seconds lol
he probably could with one of the witches brews tbh
Yeah there's no oneshot potential in the first game, you actually have to fight stuff.
Moon power is busted
The closest thing you can get is a max charge call and thats pretty hard to get.
Maybe, but, you can omega dps some of the phases with some busted boon combos(I am 99% sure of this despite only having maybe a c tier boon power(my zeus jolted 1))
it got me to the 1/3 mark in the 1st boss my 1st time fighting em lol
iirc I had no death defies either
I have figured it pretty much out: the pellet rain is generally more dangerous if you panic dodge spam <.<
just walking to the right seems to counteract it lol
Oh God...
Marvel Rivals patch notes
Fixed Peni positioning issues
If hit by Namors Ult
Welp
Webs keep snapping
Tisiphone is actually pretty easy, just don't panic.
Oh hi Tis
The annoying one is the one with saw blades.
the default 1st one is easy... these 2 alt ones are really rough for me
Pray for safety if you ever fight her.
(Zagreus figures out how to talk to her)
Also Frog you failed to remember something: I'm a panic gamer, panicking is what I do whether or not I want to... I get hit by more projectiles, but, I still do end up playing better like I do in darktide(just not to as big of a degree)
It's literally built into my instincts, idk why... I would try to turn that off for games like this or enter the gungeon if I could
I still manage to perfect gungeon bosses somewhat consistently despite being more likely to get hit by projectiles lol
Oh this is the 1 I managed to beat once at the cost of a death defy :/
The projectile shit is so much easier with the shield
Shield turns off Meg's projectiles, makes her such a weak boss.
holy fuck she's so fucking easy when you can block her
I only got hit like 2 or 3 times due to bad positioning with the charge
This definitely helps
I'm really a fan of cheron's keepsake despite it not giving dollery doos
Ah fuck, I want the 2 dashes, but, I can buy so much more stuff with the middle one
the prophecy thing is just a side thing for me rn
fuck idc, 4 dashes are better than 2
TWO DASHES
THE LOTTERY
Fuck 16 gold per chamber, 2 dashes is enough to make you be able to nohit with a massive safety net.
I know
I literally know how good 1 more dash is, idc how greedy for gold I am(due to not getting much rn)...
lol dashing 4 times is like 1 full second of i frames
trying to get shocking stuff is going to make me into the joker
I hate using these damn useless stun nades
I might loving buying every single thing I can... but yeah passing up on 2 dashes is like passing up hammer(only worse)
I need 700$ 
There's literally a mod where, on your 69th time talking to Dionysus, he says "hey, nice cork."
hah I bought a poseiden boon and the best option was the loot explosion
which gave me my money back
It also gave you gems and stuff too.
and almost fully healed me...
That's always nice.
healing, money, and 1 more nectar were the things I am the most happy about
I only have like 2 nectars, due to me gifting anybody I haven't gifted yet for my keepsake hording collection
best way to find out what is the best: Screw picking and choose, literally have everything. You can compare notes afterwards/consult with the experts lol
I did the same for hades 2
"Zagreus only says "buh"
Does what it says on the tin, Zagreus will now only say "buh" when you come out of the pool of blood in the house of Hades.
Charon: "insert charon talking noises"
Zagrius: "Buh"
Some of these mods are either complete shit like "give you 5000 hp so you don't have to worry about death defys" or complete gold like this meme or the "nice cork" meme.
What? At that point why not just use god mode? -_-
Yeah, that's why I said they're complete shit.
Quite clever
oh it's 80%
like why tf would you need 5k hp when you can just take 1/5th damage? :\
"Yeah I beat heat ## without god mode"
"Sweet, what was your max hp at the end"
"... uh..." coughs and mutters "like.... 5250..."
How many more times is 5khp than your max starting health capabilities(not counting the hp keepsake)? Like... 50x?
Base hp is 50.
It would actually be more impressive to beat it with a maxed out god mode than to beat it with 5k base hp...

Max heat, no timer, sell every boon as soon as humanly possible.
No hammers, no centaur hearts.
You may buy items from Charon's shop, except boons.
I am serious, tho, 1/5th damage taken is WAY less busted than actually 100x starting health...
Especially because death defiance restores hp based on a percentage rather than a flat amount...
Your effective hp with one death defiance at 5k health is 7.5k.
You can get 2 and the skelly keepsake one.
I mean yeah non % based hp healing items would do less, but, dude 100x fucking starting health... why are you needing that many extra flat heals? :\
And that's not even counting the charon shop thingy which makes you restore 10% hp each time
At 5k hp the only thing you would need to roflstomp everything is a boon/buff that gave you damage based on how much your max hp was(instead of % of hp)
do those even exist?
Uh... how dangerous is this version of lenny? <.<'
It looks kinda dangerous
Okay he was an asshole, the shoots fire pools
It's apparently your apprectiation day according to stan
My honest reaction.
Ily
Welp... time to go die in elysium...
If I get 1 more key I can unlock the weapon that costs 8 to unlock, so here's hoping I get 1 more before I die
@lean lark just beat the hardest monster in wilds
BUCONG BABONG BABONG
AZRAVAL I hope you are having a day filled with caramel corn
mossa mentioned
Wew I beat the solo minotaur boss fight for the 1st time
I am using my cast more often now since they take more damage when affected by it... and 3 I have 3 base charges
oh fuck I gotta fight death now for getting the most kills
beat him by 3 kills
Hi Thanatos
That insta kill thing he has makes it rough to beat him
I would rather have normal sweet popcorn but thank u stan, I wish u a day full of popcorn of your liking aswell 
Thank you I like plain popcorn with no salt or butter
Understandable
Welp I managed to kill the minotaur and get the other guy to 1/4th hp... if I had both of my death defies I probably would have actually won
I think that was my 2nd time fighting them... and my damage was pretty meh
I'm surprised I got that far, I was initially gonna say fuck it and just end the run so I could upgrade stuff and start a new one... but then I was like "fuck that, I ain't giving up without a goddamn fight"
I forget what his name is.
Thesius?
The other person in Elysium is... Patroclus?
Then in Asphodel you've got Eurydice (super cool lady btw never pass up her room) and in Tartarus you've got Sisyphus.
Eurydice can boost your power tremendously if you're lucky.
Welp, time to unlock this and go die with it cuz it's new
Oh fuck yeah, boxing gloves!
Get poseiden special.
Never vibed with them
The knockback makes fists super fun.
Does it have backstab damage? It was saying backstab when I was hitting skele
... is this thing literally just for making a build that 1 shots almost every unarmored normal enemy? :\
Not the bow?
One of the aspects lets you teleport to the spear instead of having it return to you.
Bow requires perfect charge shots to have good dps.
Spear is just "ooga booga stab bad guy."
So without the hammer thing that makes perfect shots more lenient it isn't as good?
I'm not saying it isn't good.
Hm... I gave up after looking at the starting boon and it refunded me my eyes and that weapon isn't unlocked... I'm kinda tempted to use my 17 keys to upgrade my mirror and get 1 more key the next run...
I'm saying it's slow.
I get that
Spear is much faster.
Get all weapons before upgrading mirror.
Once you unlock Hexagryph you get to spend your titan blood on aspects.
Uh... but now I can get more starting max hp and have starting gold...
I also kinda want to use the spear or bow again first
The starting hp is only like 25 when it caps out.
that's 50% more base hp <.<'
Well yeah you'll get to use aspects on them too though.
Unlocking weapons asap is good.
I think the 1st mirror upgrade was kinda mid for me cuz I am not great at using my cast(and I don't aim it well)... but these 2 other upgrades are up to 50% more starting health and starting gold(and I love buying everything)
Good lord
Uh frog the hp upgrade goes to at least 50 more... which is 100% more... I just spent all the shadow I had after resetting myself on it after getting the 2nd dash, 2 death defies, and 50% more damage
instructions unclear, I brought a spear
And old mate next to me snores like he's sucking a motorbikes talepipe
And u can do da spin to win for a stronger 1st hit <.<'
I may have slightly misremembered then.
Still, aspects before mirror.
Aspects are WAY more important.
I haven't even unlocked aspects yet
Yeah, youll get them after you unlock Hexagryph.
Hence why I said you should unlock all weapons.
cover his nose
Unlocking Hexagryph, then doing a run should unlock aspects to be purchaseable with titan blood.
I would personally, considering Hexagryph isnt fucking usable without one of the aspects, buy the one that makes it good first.
I hear you and know what you are saying is the smart thing to do, but, I literally want more starting max hp and eventually starting gold... I'm not gonna upgrade the mirror again for quite a while since it takes 20 more keys next time
I need to learn the names of spear, shield, and fists, they have proper names like how the sword is Stygius.
I literally need everything I can get going for me right now... x.x
Sword = Stygius
Bow = Heartseeker
Gun = Hexagryph
Fists are Malphon or something
I mean... u got da sord, da thrusty thrust, da charger, da slow shoota, and da punching weapons rn for what I can get
Hexagryph is otherwise referred to as the Divine Rail.
I think the only time they are ever named properly is when you fucking buy them and instantly talk to Skele.
Shield, iirc, is named properly when you talk to Zeus with it for the first time, like how Heartseeker is named when you talk to Artemis.
I am still kinda afraid that I am going to end up loving it, since I am really loving these ranged weapons in hades 1(the spear is a half ranged cuz of the throw n return...)
And then spear is ig referred to by name by Achilles?
It was his weapon in life, after all.
I love doing this, especially vs dangerous enemies
I just find it to be poopy stinky because it hits like a wet noodle with the standard aspect.
Fair
Like shredder autopistol type damage against a crusher.
And you cant crit.
Or headshot.
Or get ambuscade bonus.
Well if what you said earlier is true I have aphrodite as my starting one and I can get the more attack damage...
Also you are blind and deaf and your knees dont bend right or something.
I think Fists are Demeter's (?)
That would make sense as to why I only remember them being referred to by name once. You have to beat Hades at least once to have Demeter even start appearing, and even then, she is quite rare.
I have yet to even attempt to get crits of any reasonable chance of activating
I was talking about like the damage in reference to darktide.
Yep
Shredder autopistol, but no headshots, no crits, no ambuscade, you are blind, deaf, and your knees dont bend right.
That's the standard Hexagryph experience.
Also I got good at using the autopistol... so that just backs up my fear of maybe liking that weapon
Unless you get obscenely lucky and start with a hammer that rolls the artillery upgrade, then you just have plasma gun.
So I'm guessing that's lower ammo count but much more damage per shot?
No, your special on Hexagryph is a grenade launcher.
The artillery upgrade just makes it super cracked.
Oh also @placid fiber I lied, rerolls do exist.
You just have to do every single fucking fated choice in the game to unlock it.

Get the hammer to the Rail
Never reload but only shoot in bursts, then pray you get Hermes for attack speed
????
Profit
... tfw you can't decide which u want more...
Oh I found the names for the other weapons. Fists are indeed Malphon, Shield is Aegis, Bow (referred to as the Heart-Seeking Bow) is actually called Coronacht, Spear is Varatha, and I have been saying the Rail's name wrong, it's not Hexagryph, it's just Exagryph.
Is fotf+mark x relic blade viable into havoc 40? I'm grinding out havocs in the 20s-early 30s and seem to be doing well but idk how much more difficult 40 will be
Huh... spear rocket launcher?
Wow I don't have to call it back, and I took the special damage from aphrodite
Normally I take the triple stab no spin attack, but, this is definitely more fun
Zealot chat
Is a chat
Holy crap there's a function in one of these mods to make all bounties on previous heats automatically complete...
I could do like heat 10 and clear everything before it...
Depends on your definition of "viable", it's still good but people will want you to take book
Play Hades, apparently
It's good fun. 
Yeah...
I've been swapping to book when asked to I just think it's so goddamn boring
I am at an overnight work thing with a roommate who snores like a pregnant walrus
Welp my explosive spear with the aphrodite boon absolutely rekt the saws fury
Got almost through my first 40 last night with fotf relic blade but our psyker crashed 80% through the mission then the group imploded. Still sad about it
Ok so modding Hades is hilariously easy.
At least I know I can clear now though so that's one mental block done with
It's even easier than modding darktide.
Now I just need to grind it out
@placid fiber if you decide to mod Hades, it's as simple as installing the mod importer, dropping the executable into your game's content folder, creating a folder (also in the content folder), naming it "Mods" (capitalize the M, it's case sensitive for the importer), then dropping all your mods into the mods folder and running the executable.
Uninstallation is as simple as deleting the mod and rerunning your importer executable.
Good to know, ty
wait... wouldn't this make my explosive spear way more powerful? Since it explodes when it reaches as far it can go...
well... I have to hold for that nvm
I took it anyway, but, yeah this shorter range is gonna help since close up enemies will get hit by it more often... and I can charge it for the full distance
did telopots quit dorktide
Wow this explosive spear wrecks stuff
The shorter default range is doing amazing stuff lol
What ranged weapon pairs well with dueling sword? I've been using it with boltgun but they feel like they kinda just do the same niche, and whenever my team dies and I'm kiting around to try and thin out the horde/revive them, the boltgun is very cumbersome so I'm just stuck with the dueling sword only for the most part
Anything, honestly. It has the power to kill pretty much anything. Stuff for something like crusher/bulwark swarms or trappers is good
Well that's the thing, crushers, bulwarks, bosses, just kill them with dueling sword. So I'm hardly ever swapping to the boltgun, not like when I use a weapon that can't deal with those big things
Swarms are more of a problem tho definitely
Flamer
Welp I pretty well rekt the elysium bosses, this time. I'm doing actual damage to them, with this explosive spear
Makes sense, I've tried dueling sword with flamer a few times but it felt finicky. But that's probably just skill issue on my part tbh
Flamer just a very slow weapon in general i guess
What blessings and perks should I go for?
Blessings overpressure blaze away
Aight
That being?
double barrel shotty
🤔
it cleaves hordes
||5 star tempered gore magala||
and fun to use
I've never used double barrel before, that sounds kinda dope tho
I have a maxed out flamer, but could be fun to take a double barrel out for a spin
Lvl that up, see which one i like most
braced autogun is also fun
What perks and blessings for shotgun?
It is a manstopper db. It stops the men.
But does it scatter the shot
He better not fucking be vanquished, he's the bestest of 3 headded doggos
Welp, time to go die to hades

"I have to fight the dog? Oh, aight that's better"
Good job
lol I made it past the 1st phase, I am woefully unprepared for this
Now do it sub 15
got the 2nd phase to half hp before I got killed... not bad for my 1st time fighting him
We love the spear in this household
explosive short ranged spear, my beloved... I also had like +160% damage on the special from aphrodite
Well... my hades 2 experience is probably paying off quite a lot. I think I did suicide like 3 or 4 runs so far, tho
Oh yeah those spikes got me a lot of times
Oh you mistake what I mean. I was done with the run and wanted the resources I had gotten then and was pretty weak so I just let them kill me. I've only gotten killed by floor spikes once
I see I see
I did the same thing in hades 2
Also: I know I wasted like 15 keys to get to these 2, but, these are gonna be immensely helpful
Oh, demeter is in this
Bad pun detected, I'm going to invert your knees now.
god
i can't believe ogryn rework is finally happening
maybe now it won't be boring as fuck to play
that's where you're wrong
because it's not book zealot
the ONLY FUN BUILD IN THE GAME
Pray that zealout gets a tree rework.
We desperately need other forms of toughness generation that actually work well and duellist needs to be reigned in a bit.
And we need taxe and dclaw buffs.
They are going to put Duelist dead center
Like that one node on Vet's leading to grenades
We need better branch identity
^
The only one that makes some sense is right side
Lemme call the Ogryn rework
Hmmmmm
500 nodes about heavy attacks
All the crit stuff should be on the left, all the survival stuff should be in the middle, all the gun stuff should be on the right.
Pretty simple.
The fact that bleed for the emperor and restoring faith aren't by each other is fucking criminal.
Not even that martyrdom being with chorus and above ranged and support nodes makes no sense
I believe fatsharks intent is to shoot at enemies while you approach them.
But that is not viable and does not work well 95% of the time.
sorry all my brian is all went into drawing
It is inherently counterintuitive to how the games mechanics work.
mashalla
ogryn is going to be to play
eyebrows is a bitch righ now
but it better be good or else there will be hell inshallah
Like the whole idea of talent tree branches is that they are a substitute for careers
need to add anime blush after
Most other classes if you go straight down one branch you’ll at least have a usable thematic build
also been playing rdr2
i wanted to just help this dude since he was having trouble
But it’s just not the case for zealot
well you can help him gy giving him a burial
nah there's plenty of coyotes
Middle tree especially i think by itself is the worst branch in the game
he'll be fine, won't go to waste
So much anti synergy
if zealot had synergy we'd be unkillable
theres a reason why theres like only one ''offilcial'' zealot skill tree
nah
trappers would still get us
DOOOOOOOOOOOODGE
technically there's 2 because you can go with piety or IJ
Right left pick your keystone
1 and a half
aquino how are u been
Im not counting the keystone choice if the rest of the build is identical
sharquino?
and you can also choose between book and chastise (shroudfield users are invalid)
Book is only for havoc if your team needs it
not sick now so that's cool
It’s so bad on zealot for personal use
personally i like book
i like to tea bag people
I wish the last pulse put enemies on their ass
I've always used book, it's pretty good honestly
makes you sick again
book is so unenjoyable to use
i find it enjoyable
Massive Personal dps loss check
Long channel you can’t guarantee your teammates will take advantage of
no toughness head
I mean if you had to ask me what Zealot's most exciting™️ ability is it'd be uhhhh
fuckin none of them
doge into the enemy
my favorite nitpick about the book isn't that it's inherently bad but that you can't pop it for revives because if you do your teammates will just stand there with their thumbs up their asses
That’s me on microphone with relic
book for revives in pubs is a no go
if i chorus its bc someone is down
and so i tea bag them
yeah
then i rev them
And sometimes they still don’t do it
anywho back to rdr2 later nerds
but you can do some pretty fun stuff with book, imo, like cliffing bosses/DHs goes hard and also if you're solo you can push through some pretty crazy shit (ik chastise is better in solo situations)
Can't hear you over the sound of "Master, hide my steps"
🗣️
tbh the only thing i like book the most
its cosplaying as a cat
Chat im having brainworms rn
boss and a cliff is the best combo
Isn't that literally opposite of what stealth should do
i will yassify the worm
Am i that player for making my character the child of a character i used in a oneshot in the same setting?
like book should probably get some tweaks if/when zealot gets reworked but the ability itself is really not bad at all
"In the shadows, redemption" 🗣️
rework on chorus sub skill would be neat
I think it should
the upgrade nodes for it are silly and make no sense
Slow down the pulse rate but make it a buff that shines off your hip
So you can actually do things
ok hear me out
sub skill for chorus that still let you attack but less pulse
and or longer cooldown
Yesterday i joined some timmies trying to do flesh wound penance, and until i swapped to booklot they were tripping over constantly. Booklot with good cdr is basically a healer lmao
playing healer class to be your team angle
That’s adorable
Playing stealth class to be your team debil
yea you can make the team immortal if you feel like it, though VoC is essentially the better version of that since you don't have DPS downtime
make me think of this comic
"Emprah, hide me"
DmC vergil lmao
Well, it depends, voc is a quick get out of jail free card, book is basically healer CC aoe but you need your team to actually do shit
mhm
I love me shout :3
But is he featuring Dante from Devil May Cry series?
tbh VoC on zealot wouldbe neat
and op
That would mean that both zealot and vet got 2 identical ults
Want voc on zealot? Double tap F, you scream once for like 5 gold toughness and instantly cancel 
VoC still needs nerfing
or rather, overtoughness as a concept needs nerfing/changing
No more gold toughness 
Its not that overtoughness is too strong, its that you dont have any other meaningful survi options
Literally just make it cap out your toughness and give you a TDR Buff instead of Gold
Dont nerf the only thing everyone plays, buff other things that arent played
That’s a Bandaid change tbh
Tac awareness is probably the biggest issue with VOC
A good vet can use base VOC and make it work just as effectively as Golden it’s that good as a base ability
It’s just golden is so overpowered it genuinely needs to be changed
I mean overtoughness is definitely too strong, the way it interacts with the toughness system almost feels like it's unintended with how counter-intuitive and OP it is
It’s a bar the enemy has to destroy first before they can even start doing bleed through
Unironically both Chorus and VOC golden are unhealthy
change book into phermones from drg where the ai starts attacking each other for a brief moment
And both need changes
other stuff does need buffing but golden toughness is problematic af for balancing
The chef mod I wanted to use doesn't work... :(
I’d rather Chorus still fill up Toughness and Not Give Golden for like, A. The QOL of being able to attack whilst using the Relic, B. I think it would be incredibly funny if it set heretics around you on fire for being too close LMAO
new book ability
apply extreme brittlness to every enemy in sight
Yeah.....
There's too few sources of it
its gaming time
Gold toughness should be removed
golden toughness with fotf? 
Wtf so mean
antitoffness party is so ebil
which tactical axe mark is better
7
Not the 4
reasons?
7 is bigger number than 4
they're both pretty good i cant figure out which one i like more
Lol they broke the cropping
Don't listen to the taxe 2 propagandists
They're just biased against the old version of the taxe7 that had broken attacks
if they remove golden toughness, voc will be fine it's still an instant knockdown and full toughness refill
Dmg profile on all heavies are identical across all mks
Mk4 heavies are overheads only and other mks have diagonals for BM value
if they remove golden toughness, chorus will be dead in the water
Also mk4 lacks the optimal pa heavy loop the 2 and 7 have
They should replace it with a more interesting ability
I'll have you know I'm a taxe 7 addict
And you know that
I wasn't talking about you
IMO gold toughness should only be nerfed against melee
No
There are other scary people who like taxe 2 for some reason
Should be flat out removed
rip voc
There’s people who like the Taxe 4
i also enjoy getting shredded by 200 gunners on havoc
To be fair if you're in the open even with gold toughness you're getting shredded
"dont die? lmao"
gold toughness should be changed to give an overall damage resistance
He means position yourself better
🤮
I'm pretty sure half the maps are missing from havoc because they don't have enough cover
You’re given frag grenades for a reason
the gunner malestrom i did yesterday was such a deprature from how u usually play the game
find angle
hold it with guns
psyker shield on top of the cover
only push melee when most of the horde is fked
was kinda fun
The game mode that punishes you for bad positioning gets you killed? 🤯🤯🤯
If taxes has different and better profiles on overhead heavies the mk4 would have a reason for existing
And mk7 would become even more peak
that mk7 loop is broken
It was fixed ages ago
I mean it's really good
Ah
I'd risk getting dogpiled and say it might be better than rashad
especially on vet, it's faster
it's okay to be wrong
only downside is the stam needed for the taxe loop
how do u build tax on zealot optimally
perks and blessings i mean
Headtaker Brutal
Basically
i'll play around with it
cole's clips make it seem pretty fun
@grizzled aspen So, uh, frog... what was the hammer thing u wanted on the gun? I just got it unlocked... and the 1st room had one and offered me these <.<'
I love the cover pic you chose for this
Look at the other builds on my profile
All of them have that fucking stupid cat
Point and Click Adventure Veteran also has it LMAO
You and cica have some of the best brain rot covers
i prolly should do stelwart with piety again instead of fury rising and use the point on something else for all my builds
If i like a build enough it gets a silly image
Good balance for more dr
Where do you think the title comes from lol
fair enough lol
0 brain function zealot gameplay
Just how I like it
Big E likes em dumb
There's one hammer upgrade, iirc, that makes your special a giant nuke. In its place, the 3 shot special would be good.
tfw no 37 pages of ogryn nerfs....
sigh I really chunked my heel last night with my chair when I scooted it forwards
I put a bandaid on it and didn't think of it again
As soon as I was gonna get in the shower I knew it was gonna hurt, but, when I tried putting my shoe on loosely it was hurting bad enough I could barely walk
I had to call in because of that and I hadn't called in for a really long time...

Just pray harder, big E will solve it
It's still hurting a bit from me aggrivating it
next patch, taxe will be buffed I AM SURE
tfw no power axe....
power taxe
Tfw no mechanicus class
low quality clad bait
Tfw ikea hasn't discontinued the stuffed shark
@copper hawk is keeping them in demand
The ikea octopus is better
What about "el bandit de la ferrette"?
I love my blahaj
Blahajes*
And my shitten
Btw I immediately saw why you hated the gun in hades. It feels like it needs something like zeus on the attack for it to be even worth a shit...
Yeah the gun is aggressively mid
I used pietywart b4 it was cool ,,
It has some good builds but it's not versatile at all
time to finish leveling saltz and bardin
yeah... that being said I already prefer it to the weapon despise(and refuse to use) in hades 2
I absolutely loved hades 2, and I am really liking hades 1 already
2 is... to some people worse, but, I would say it is different
similar with differences that stand out as positive to me(for the most part)

@mighty root
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
is this a 8 or a 12 pin
Funnily enough I just got hades 1 yesterday morning/the night before <.<
9070xt is 16 pin
theres both
Already have 11.7 hours in it >.>'
NERD !!!!
This one is 2 8 pins
cool cool
Hey, don't talk about clad like that

At least wait till here is here
what do you think diagonals have more bm value?
i was not privy to this
canadian dollars?
because msrp is waay lower in usd
I wonder if this is code for: we're nerfing the gunlugger's burn on shot, yet again.
sadge
why cant they bugg everything else
I love red 40
GOOD
nerf gunlugger NOW
gleep gloop or something brother
dw, they're changing the attack speed bonus from the charge to 30%, adding a modifier where you do +20% damage during the duration, and increasing taunt's radius by 73%
the 73% is to mess with ocd people
ooo u have deadly accurate on bpistol
and surgical
To Op's point it's why I stopped playing the game, way to many reworks over and over. Maybe they are needed, but it's what turned me off from this game.
damn how dare fatshark rework and improve systems
proof you can't please everyone
... I almost never use my cast in hades 1... this is practically free <.<
we should have stayed in the golden era of beta days
i have a friend like this
if he's used to something in a game and they change it for better or worse he's dropping the game no matter what
he likes his comfort zone
i've unironically seen this take lol
Oh no i have to adapt!!!
it's peak
My god
like people saying fatshark shouldn't have done talent trees and kept the vt2 career/subclass system
so they could keep their "promise" of 1 subclass per quarter
over 2 years
i didnt play vt but i see a lot of people saying that talent trees is just careers with extra steps cause of "meta pathing" issues
how true is that
not really
besides zealot, there is clear flexibility
and many of the best builds splash into 2 or even all 3 branches
with ogryn getting a rework zealot is the only class with a basic bitch tree
old system had almost no flexibility but was easier to maintain
and less power creep maybe
issue with zealot is unlike ogryn which has numerous mid/shit weapons
but i vastly prefer the trees tbh
zealot is relatively stable and good
i like power creep 
power fantasy RAAAHHHHH
we basically have no bad melee option
yeah tbh feels like every single weapon i use works
yeah, but i do respect every claw user i see
tho im obssesed with the heavy weapons
it legit feels weird to me to use faster ones cause i play heavy ones like 90% of the time
i played knife yesterday after a while and the speed threw me off
i ledged myself a lot with the knife
like imagine you could be slayer but take drunken brawler from ranger vet and gromril from ironbreaker
it's peak
and it's sad that won't ever happen to vt2
bomb moveset tho
Suffers from the same issues as well
Moveset is kinda cool if it didnt also have weird rules
Like h1 being faster out of combo rather than in, as an opener
Dmg cap, shit cleave distro, terrible adms (you do more damage to the flak body of a bruiser than the unarmored head), bad base cleave for a horde mulching cleave weapon, inverted profiles, etc
i think evi3 is at least better than the clubs
It's an Ogryn wpn
Nah they're the same, they suffer from the same issues
Generally, being relics of an earlier, easier darktide
evis3 is og evis?
With less enemies, less armored spawns, etc
yep
Yah
That's 1 enemy
You will enjoy your club cap
i ran it purely for moveset but havent played it since i got used to relic mk2
Plus the cleave distro meaning you do no damage to the 4th enemy
And you will like it
