You enjoying yourself anons? Just got the ending
What the fuck is that thing
Anyone got a weapon tierlist or something
>>722053720What the fuck is that and why is it "talking" in a br*tish lingo in muh the fake greek mythos game?
>>722053853actually yeah i do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgYeqr_0njE
>>722053901
>>722053720Honestly, not really. I remember dropping it in EA, and while the 1.0 release is alright it still isn't a very interesting game. My biggest complaints are how boring Mel is and the lack of musical bangers compared to the first game.
>>722053720I'm playing Hades 1. Does Hades 2 have God mode?
>>722053720So that's the "goddess of changing" and it chose to appear as a fat pig?Gonna uninstall Hades1 now. This shit has ruined all interest i had.
>>722053962yes
>>722053901I hate this guy's voice
>>722054059nice
>>722053720what happened with the character design in this game
>tranny artist magnum opus
>>722054049Do you guys really not understand the joke of Circe looking like a pig
>>722053901>>722053953Cerces staff is so good>Take Storm cast from Zeus>Take Lightning Lance, Howling Soul or Glowing CoalThen you throw that shit on enemies while taking anything that boosts your casts, the damage is insane and you never have to be near an enemy. Activating Origination seems to be annoying though because Zeus doesn't apply status and I want to just play it as an one button build.
>>722054367which familiar is best for it? i assume hecuba or toula
>>722053720lol yeah I won't be playing this
>>722054435I actually don't know, I was trying the bird and it worked but most endgame players seem to be using Hecuba instead.Toula feels really annoying because you have to run up to her when she stops attacking which can be a problem depending on what the enemies are doing while you never have to worry about what the other pets are doing.
should i play 2? i didnt find the first one really interesting, only 10 hours in it. whats better about the second? or are they fundamentally the same game so i wont like it either
>>722053953>people suck at making buildsthe blades with 100% backstab and aphrodite are stupid strong
>>722054323She turned the men of Ulysses/Odysseus' crew into pigs. Not herself. Why would he stay with her for all those years if she's a fat pig? Are you a troon by any chance? Only women and by extension, transexuals, would classify this idiocy as a joke. Fucking kys freak.
alright so when is the nerf coming because holy shit
>>722053893Good morning saar.
>>722054638they're the same game, melinore is just a female version of zagreus. if you didn't like 1 you won't like 2.
>>722054768ok thanks anony
>>722054638For all intents and purposes it's Hades 1 with some gameplay changes and worse plot.
There's just too many stupid small pauses to the game that make it irritating, like the stupid camera pans and lines you can't skip through and can't act while happening during crafting
>>722053720I already decided to pass on this when I learned they race-swapped some of the greek gods, but holy shit that is bad. What are they thinking?
Fuck Prometheus holy shit
>>722055520You're gonna memorize those patterns
>>722053720>Witch of changingBitch should change herself into a size 4 dress desu
>Never actually finished the first game>Decide to start a new save a bit before 1.0 came out >Progressed enough that I can easily finish runs without any real trouble>Bottlenecked on the actual epilogue by passing out enough nectar to all the godsAt least I finally noticed that I can turn gemstones into keys into nectar. I probably should crank up the heat a bunch to make it actually challenging but the game pointing out that I don't need to and only rewarding me for what I've unlocked makes me not want to even if I'd probably happily raise it with no rewards at all.
>>722053953>Regular jetback is badWhy would they make a new weapon and then make it weak? That's not how advertising works.
>>722055947All 4 of the new weapon suck ass honestly and yeah it's extremely disappointing. Sad nobody caught that on beta or that nobody decided it needed buffs.Hidden aspect of it is the better one of it but if you're grinding unlocks then you likely don't want to spend all those resources on a mediocre weapon where there's much better and chea[er ones.
>>722053804A slampig
I forgot how fucking shit grinding for mats was
>>722056171>grinding for matsyou're playing the game wrong. crank up the difficulty and the mats will come naturally as you play. it's a single player, if your autism stops you from moving on till you progressed everything, you can load up cheat engine and give yourself 10000s of whatever you want.
>>722053720>circe, daughter of a sun god, often depicted as a beautiful woman with huge tits>let's turn her into a fat pig with a disgusting pseudo-moe/calarts faceAt least they kept her huge tits, but still...
>>722056291Grinding for mats IS garbage though, especially if there's a specific weapon you want to use but are a good while away from unlocking.
>>722054130Some political shit. They literally have a troon as a God in the game. She was perfectly fine in the first one.
>>722053720This game honestly feels like doom the dark ages tier relevancy.
>>722054913>What are they thinking?That purposefully bad character design subverts tradition and owns the chuds. No one enjoys looking at characters like this, but they very much enjoy the thrill of feeling like transgressive rebels dismantling time-honored traditions.
how do you make this shit good?
>>722056653buff it up until the normal attack and the charged special attack just one hit kill everything and don't forget you have cast, it's even more important on axe than on other weapons to slow down the niggers that are chasing you so you have time to turn around and kill them
>>722055947>>722056113It's an Omega weapon that can do big burst while blocking or work very well at range. It's pretty great, I've had great success with the Selene one
>>722056653Apollo boon on the attack/special seems to be a popular way to get mileage out of it. Apollo also has a legendary that doubles your omega attacks so you could be firing two omega specials for the price (and charging time) of one.
>>722056653just like everything else that's slow, you need to create windows of opportunities to hit. demeter is great for this, aphrodite is free for melee, selene has a few tools too.
>>722056752Yeah idk about the big burst, I haven't been able to get it to do damage. The rockets seem insanely clunky and poorly thought out while the fists are too up close and personal so it's easy to get hit by things you don't want to get hit by.What build or boons did you get to make it strong?
>Dominate a whole run with upgraded crit maracas to the point of boredom>Switch to axe for fun's sake and die to sirensI'm sure there's some skill issue here but damn. I feel like the axe's lack of range and attack speed are enormous handicaps in this game, and there's not much to balance that out. Maracas feel like baby mode, especially if you get any magick gain boon and spam omegas
>>722054130Imagine going back like 10-15 years and showing people this game and telling them that most people don't even see anything weird with it and it's one of the most popular games of the year.
>>722053804based on the ears and fur, looks like it's what's commonly referred to as "furfag crap"
>>722056816You're not supposed to do regular attacks with it unless you get the boons for it or use Nyx. Attack Omega lets you block most strikes and projectiles; that's why the charge is slow. The missiles work for me, I lock, and they do what they do.
>>722056816You can spam the omega specials extremely quickly on the jetpack and you can fire like 7 rockets at once when you lock on, which means flat damage buff boons go hard, like for example Poseidon. Spamming the omega special seems like the most effective way to use the jetpack overall
>>722056963Is Poseidon better than like, Hestia?
>>722056995Depend on the aspect. Nyx would go well with Hestia because of the double strikes.
>>722053720I've never beaten the original. I only got to Theseus once, I think, when I lucked out and got a God boost (whatever they're called) that regenerated my health when I collected dark crystals or whatever. I'm not good at this game, so I just went back to Warcraft and Minecraft.
thoughts on the Hecate twist? surprised at how many anons here actually called it a year ago
I am not touching this woke shit with a 10 meter pole.
>>722056995Hestia is also a flat damage buff so it works well with the rapid hits of the rockets. I would avoid the gods that give slow recharge status effects like Zeus/Ares. Hephaestus is also a slow cooldown but it's so insanely good for hit and run strats on a projectile I would also take it. Aphrodite is good to put on your Attack but bad for your special.
>>722053720circe looks like a nortubel character
>>722057085>I'm not good at this gamethe game is about dying to gain bonuses and learn boss patterns. it's not really about being "good" so much but rather about not giving up, and if you truly suck at the game you can always enable "god mode".
>>722057229Boosted Special Hephaestus is fucking silly with the rockets.
>Thanatos Aspect>Zeus Attack>Zeus Boon to trigger Blitz on Omega AttacksNow that's some spin2win.
>>722057245The only times I've felt like I needed to play skillfully and "get good" in Hades 2 is doing to 5 eye chaos quests and trying to earn the 3rd giga-chad statue
>>722057229Zeus's isn't slow recharge because you're not supposed to let it pop from the timer, but instead proc it by dealing damage. It's easily the strongest DPS upgrade on an ability you aren't consistently mashing, but do work into your rotation.
>>722057337>zeus boons all suck ass unless you also take a bunch of other zeus boonswhy is he like this
>>722057451There's some good solo ones like Lightning Lance, you could take that as a solo boon and be very happy about it.
>>722054049Salam alaikum, brother.
>>722057451I feel that way about Poseidon>Want to put him on Attack or Special but neither boon triggers froth>Need to take Slippery Slope too so it actually applies Froth and you get your +1 curse you need>Also need to take some other boon you might not want from him then fish for his legendary because the legendary is a huge +200% boost vs guardians
>>722057196https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/GMeoS5lnoi8OpF83qHj-rQ/you will never know the touch of a woman, iphonejeet
How are you supposed to do the psyche rituals with the shades? I'm always messing it up
>>722056291Bro I need to give shit to the NPCs tooAnd thats gated by time
>>722057793It's extremely brainless with a controller since it's only pressing LT or RT at the right timing, idk what keyboard wants you to do. Alternatively, get the frog familiar since it skips the shade minigame and gives you rewards.
>>722057740Poseidon is -the- god you want to commit to early if you can since his supports boons make you grow so much if you get em early.
>>722057793There's a left hand icon and a right hand icon.When only the left is up, you hold M1, when only the right is up you hold M2, when both are up you hold both. Just switch as fast as you can every time the graphic changes, it's not strict
>>722056931Nobody would care. You're brainrotted.
>>722057861Yeah except he hates giving me slippery slope and I don't think I've ever seen his legendary even though I have been trying for it.Hestia is another huge offender of god you want to commit early but hates my fucking guts and never gives me what I want.
Alright so do you have to beat this fucking thing ten times to actually win like the first game?
>>722057861The Growth one from the ice granny is also pretty damn good to get early
>>722057970yes. there's also 2 paths in this game so double the content. enjoy or don't, i guess.
>>722057970Four times each on both paths to get enough crafting materials to craft the item that lets you finish the game, then two more runs after that with the crafted items, so yeah around 10 or 11.
>>722058018Demeter is weird because I always want her as a side god but never as a main god so I'm normally wishing she shows up randomly. Last surface run I spent the entire run trying to fish her Duo boon with Zeus and I didn't see it once, very sad.
>>722058116>>722057970Chew the steak slowly :)
>>722057776Cry more shill.Not buying your game.
>>722058157Alright I guess I don't give enough of a shit to play this then. I really hope Supergiant don't turn into a fucking one-trick dev, I really liked the fact that before this their catalogue was entirely self-contained separate IPs instead of just jamming sequels to Bastion.
>>722058293Congratulations on discovering roguelikes aren't for you.
>>722058293the smart move is to expand the studio, have one team working on the golden goose that is hades and another on a new game.
>>722054130people said the same exact shit with hades 1's character design, you all said it was shit and woke and DEI and they blackwashed the godsyou'll get over it
What's the easiest way to activate Origination on ranged weapons for the juicy +50% damage?It's basically free on anything melee because you just take Glamour gain as a mana boon and that's it but it seems a lot harder to do so on builds where you play them at range or far away from the enemy.
>>722053720I don't play woke games
>>722058385Not him but other rogueliles aren't this insufferable unlocking fun shit
>>722053720So...why does every character have to be ugly?
>>722057854>>722057906Alright, I'll try that out next chance I get. Thanks
>>722058717hades 2 lets you track crafts, this lets you know when a room contains ingredients you need.
>>722058717>implying implicationsEven with the early access limiting what you had available, I was always unlocking more shit then I could use until you get to the end game where all the weapon upgrades take the same resource.
>>722058575Scorch + Gale cast, especially once you get a ranged way to apply it
>>722057196jesus, I wouldn't even pirate that
>>722056931Yeah I don't understand how some people (game reviewers especially) say the characters in this game are hot, attractive, sexy, or describe it as more intelligent competition to things like Stellar Blade if you want a "horny game".It's fine to think that goonbait doesn't belong in games (I like SB though), that it makes the game difficult to take seriously, that it's a cheap way to sell a game, that the average /pol/ browsing gamerchud is a moron with brainrot from too much sitting inside and gooning, etc. But how and why do you go from that to trying to paint this crap "hot" and "sexy"?
>>722059534i don't really care about the design of the characters, i just press next and select a boon. i play hades for the gameplay, idgaf about "character design"
Dorapussy
>>722058393The designs were the worst part of that game, yes. The designs have only gotten worse in the sequel so its really hampering my desire to play this game.
>>722059534It's a perfect example of "safe horny". Journalists and bluesky retards get to have their fun with>look at me I'm not actually a sexless puritan prude lol this game is soooo hotwithout seeming gross to their peers because nothing in it is trying very hard to be sexually exciting to straight men. They'd never talk like that about Stellar Blade because people might actually think they mean it (vanilla male sexuality terrifies them), but if it's about Hecate's rock hard abs then it's just good safe fun
>>722059659That's fine, I just find it weird how some reviewers consider this a "horny" game which they then proceed to compare to SB or whatever and noticed ppl commenting on the character designs in this thread so I posted
>>722060021i wouldn't call hades 1 or 2 a horny game, it's about as safe as you can get. just play shit like eternum if you want sex in your games folks.
>>722059534The character design is fine. I mash through all the dialogue though.
What attack booms do you like?Staff: Aphrodite/PoseidonBlades: ZeusWands: DemeterAxe: ????Skull: DemeterSuit: ???? Aphrodite, maybe?
>>722054130They let the artist off her leash and went too far in stylizing. It's almost a parody of her earlier work.
>>722060431Yeah that's how it feels like. Like she lampooned her own style.
>>722053720>You enjoying yourself anons?Very much, it's definitely a worthy successor>>722054130More "female gaze"-y but it is what it is, just jerk off before you play it instead of during
>>722053720>the ending>the...you guys never played Hades 1, did you? There isn't a singular ending...
>>722060649The actual ending for Hades 2 is a complete meme
>>722060343blades: aphrodite and demeterwands: poseidon and apolloi don't have a preference yet for the rest.
my switch version crashes every time I equip a keepsake. Is this an anti piracy measure lmao
>>722060649hades 1 definitely has an "ending" with a credits roll, and it's somewhere around beating the game 8 times.
>>722053720Bros... should I? This is about the equivalent of 4 dollars.
>>722060875yes, it's a good game
>>722060875Mexican peso?
>>722060875Yeah
>>722053720what the FUCK is THAT?
>>722060875pirate it
>>722060534At least the fujo thirst is still there with Odysseus and Narcissus.
>>722054130No clue. Everyone in the first game was hot, this one not so much.
>>722060343If I take staff then i'm only ever going to touch either specials or casts. And for casts, it's always Zeus on the cast because it deals so much more damage than the alternatives.For Axe, it's Apollo on the attack.For the others, I don't use them or have a preference yet.
>>722061107I keep trying but no special feels better than Hephaestus.
>>722061149For what weapon?Though I personally don't like Hephaestus offensive boons due to the cooldown, prefer his defensive ones.
>>722061215Anything with range, really, and poms seem so much more plentiful this time around that getting it to level 3 and under 9 seconds is pretty stupidly easy.
I have gotten real bad at the game compared to Hades 1I'm struggling to clear Eris
>>722061282Eh for anything with range I'd rather literally anything elseLike axe specials I'd probably take Apollo for the big AOEFor dagger shots or rockets I'd take something like Hestia or PoseidonFor casts, throwing Zeus on top of an enemy with Artic gale deals crazy amounts of damageHeph's idea seems to be that I want to take it on something I don't use often just for the burst damage and go back to my main damage dealing combo that deals twice as much as a Heph pop in a few seconds
So do all the characters have dialogue portraits now? I played a chunk of the game for a bit months and months ago but dropped it at some point since it didn't grab me as well as the first Hades did. Back then a bunch of them didn't have portraits and just had the mysterious cloak figure.
I just spent 5 nightmare to upgrade fist so I could get Shiva and you're telling me I have to spend 4 just to unlock the fucking thing
>>722061435On paper everything you're saying is correct.But the CLANG satisfies me deeply.
What the actual FUCK was that ending?
>>722060813You never reunited Olympus with the Underworld, did you? That is the true final ending and takes a lot more than 8 wins.
>>722061503Hidden aspect weapons have always been pretty expensive>>722061510Yeah but big numbers satisfy me more. Throwing down my main attack and see a large chunk of the boss HP disappear or seeing it rapidly go down makes me hard.
>>722060747What is it? I don't really like committing time to things if it's going to give me a shit ending.
>>722060543holy reddit comments
>>722061554>true final endingit's a bonus ending for completionist, and yes i did actually do it; but the real ending is the one with the credits roll.
>>722060970>support niggerfying characters in the first game>get more niggerfied characters in the sequel as a resultYou got what you supported this whole time,i don't see how you can complain now.
>>722053804Goddess/witch who really REALLY likes pigs, wolfs and lions. Turns people into animals. YJK!
>>722053804
>>722053804someting I wanna plap that's what curse of plapjak does to you.
>>722053720Not playing DEI slop
>>722053720>CirceHAHAHAHAH!!!! *vomits*
>>722053720yeeeluv me medea with aphroditeluv me damagesimple as
>>722055947Because Nyx just mogs it, the jetpack has the same problem as the Mel axe did it's upsides just aren't juicy enough
>>722054673Never this is intendend speedrunner aspect
>>722064487Nyx is good? I thought the only good fist was Shiva
>>722055905In Hades 2 Eris' gapples make you swim in nectar once you run out of meta currency to make
>woke shitI shan't give you my money.
>>722053720Don't play woke DEI trash. Not buying your game.
>>722064573Shiva is it's own thing really, it's good for magic spend boons. But Nyx is the best one out of the "regular" coat aspects. On top of the extra damage the extra hits work wonders for stuff like froth and scorch.
>>722056462is it Aphrodite?
>>722064658You got a link, video or anything at all for a good fists build? I like the idea of fists but I couldn't ever clear with themDaggers and Axes are other examples of weapons I like on paper but in practice I just choke at Chronos and I wouldn't even dare taking that to the surface
>>722054673how do I use this thing? just afrodite it and clam slam into enemies over and over?
>>722064757daggers is definitely tricky, but once you get the feel for it it's great. demeter on the special lets you jump in for example, it also combos nicely with selene + wolf howl.
this is my gf
>>722064996that useless bum actually gets a job? what a twists.
I pirated it and just skipped every cutscene/dialogue scene because the characters all look like pozzed retards, but after an hour realized that skipping 50% of the game doesn't make sense when the combat is almost identical to the first game and doesn't make up for it so I'm just gonna drop it.
>>722053720Why is Circe fat and disgusting?
>>722065061Personally I prefer lazy Dora gf
>>722064757well the specials will track down enemies, so they're a good way of applying things like freeze from Demeter or hitch from Hera, which should let you clear rooms easier. You can also put blitz from Zeus on the special for more damage. On the attack scorch from Hestia is also pretty good. Aphrodite also works on the attack. If you go selene you pretty much need Ares at some point of the run for godsents to maximize the use of that aspect.
>>722065068>combat is almost identical to the first game>no extra dashes>omega moves>completely different cast
>>722064757same as anything that attacks fast, zeus, poseidon, hestia will always be good. aphrodite is probably good as well
>>722065508>no extra dashesmy thumb is thankful, smashing spacebar wears me the fuck out.
>pick on-hit boons>hammer gives attack power>pick %damage boons>hammer gives attack speedcan't fucking win
>>722065509>poseidonposeidon sucks on melee, you don't want to push away monsters you're actively hitting. aphrodite is great, hestia sucks, you don't want to wait for shit to die when they're about to hit you, zeus sucks for the same reason.
>>722065687>poseidon sucks on meleeyou can just put a cast down and they wont be knocked away
>>722064996Tell her she's a fucking idiot for opening the jar.
>>722064996For me it’s Scylla
>>722065758>just hit this extra button so you can attackor skip the middle man and just get aphrodite, hephaistos, hera or apollo.
>>722065687Hestia is amazing for guardians. They absolutely melt.
>>722065908there's plenty of shit that melts guardians, for example aphrodite with 100% backstab.
>>722065848scylla best. why can't I give her nectar?!
Man all familiars seem kinda shitFor now the dog it's the only decent one because it gives you mana and life sometimes
Sex with Scylla>>722053953Axe feels like agony some days, the third hit needs even a 50% damage reduc or something.
>>722054663You are one stupid motherfucker
>>722066183The frog can block shots, which has saved my ass once or twice.
>>722066104It would be improper for a muse to give their artist nectar
>>722066061Sure, but that's a dagger build. Hestia works with every weapon except non-Thanatos axe.
>>722065908Yea until you get bad RNG and no faster burn then you set their entire hp bar on fire and they'll take 20 minutes to die.
Had a most beautiful staff build with Heroic blitz on special, Hera cast with the gale upgrade, Hera Zeus duo and air quality just melting through the surface and Typhon still smushed me at the very end. I fucking hate him.
I heard people saying that Origin is a must have but isn't this on way better?
>>722066183Frog destroy projectiles and there are lots in this game. Can be good.Bird gives you more crit access which is always good.Only just now got treats for cat and weasel
>>722066814I heard people say this is bad because it's multiplicativeBut it's 5, so it must be good right?
>>722060343For the coat I had a run with a very juicy Apollo attack. The range increase on your charge punch is very significant.
>>722066814There are more ways to rarify boons in this game, whereas "free" damage is harder to come by.
>>722066814The problem is opportunity cost. Legendaries are at best 20% on 1-2 rolls across a run while most of them are 5-10%. Rares or above are either guaranteed on upgraded rolls or are are 6-10%, though Chaos has a 40% so there's something interesting. You're mostly paying 5 to bump your odds up from 10% to 15%, and what are you gonna drop? Has to be another 5 cost, but Origination and The Boatman are both very good.
>>722066814This card is the worse of all cards.You just limit your grasp by 5 for no benefit.
>>722053720the artist is really bad with women faces in general, not just aphrodite, huh?
>>722066183Frinos is the best.
>>722066814>WE WUZ ULYSSES N'SHIT
>>722066183they're all good. they look weak on paper but they can really save your ass. frinos can block shots, gale gives you like 20% dodge, hecuba can stun. just good stuff for free basically
>>722066814Talking about cardsOpinions on strength?I always pick it because I never get the 1+ life thingsIs it worth it or I'm bricking myself?
>>722062448Calm down Odysseus
>>722067113origination is overrated, having 2 curses on targets requires you to play in specific way and go out of your way to grab subpar boons, not to mention you'll never get 100% uptime on that damage boost especially against random trash which is 90% of you're killing.
This game is so fucking bad. It turns out I always hated this type of "just play more to get bigger number and blablabla" and that I only liked Hades 1 because it had interesting characters and story. But Hades 2 has fucking awful characters and story. And they doubled down on macguffins that the player has to collect (like mining fucking ore wtf) for number go up upgrades.Almost everyone is a fucking smug woman and it doesn't even feel like the characters are even directly talking to you, or have anything to do with the story. It's more like they just recorded a bunch of lines and are playing them because well yeah they needed lines. And every character redesign is for the worse. Why does Kharon show face and skin? Why does Zeus look like a pussy? Poseidon? Like their poses looks so unimaginative and lame. And nobody gave a fuck about witches in Greek lore before for a reason.
>>722067628Even granting that, that still doesn't make Excellence much better.
Might pick up Hades 1 since i never played it (its also on sale), do i play with a controller or keyboard?
>>722067890hades is a game made for pc first, it's clunky to play on controller anytime you want to aim shit.
We can't stop winning Zagchads
why are weapons in this so shiteven with upgrades and boons they all play the same
>>722068407explain how axe and skull play the same
>>722067628origination is by no means overrated, but it doesn't benefit every single build. keeping up 2 curses happens all the time. most casts with the gale upgrade from Hestia will guarantee origination is up all the time.
>>722068468special nearly the samecast the exact sameboons only make number go up
>>722054323You didn't read the book, faggot
If no one else I know my nigga Frinos got me.
Which Black Coat aspect is the least shit?>missile targeting whiffslol
>>722067305It's a half asian fujo who goes by Jen Z anon, of course she is.
>>722056931Normies still find it weird. They just accepted the woke cuckery like the npcs they are. An example right here.>>722058393>you'll get over itOr this one>>722059659>its about the gameplay just close your eyes haha
>>722067930You don't have to aim with a controller, the auto aim is pretty strong.
>>722068852ain't that the fuckin truth.
>>722067587The bonus is pretty worth it
>>722057154It's an EMIYA ripoff
>>722053720Yes, I'm enjoying it, but I couldn't finish it in a single weekend, so now I can only play a bit after work. Working my way into beating Typhon 5 times.
>>722067587Both Strength and the card that gives Death Defiance are good, pick one. Death Defiance card has really good synergy with Athena Keepsake, Strength makes a lot of Boons more valuable.
>>722068852>take off Death card and stinky cat>take the STRENGTH pill and lock in Frinos foreverBest decision of my life.
>>722053720>36 hours into game>never met this character>apparently in the boat levelwhat the fuck?
>>722053720I'm not playing Troon games
>>722068170>Chaos outright tells Mel that she is fucking boring compared to Zag
Does Odysseus ever bring up his wife? He was the very definition of a wife guy.Also this version is very young. Did he even complete his journey before dying?
i used to be able to get the nuke every match in mw2, now i keep wiping to scylla, or dog, or random shit before chronos. getting old sucks.
>>722070007>Dionysus is bummed out when he realizes you're not Zag
>>722070565He does in taverna at some point.
>>722070936Dionysus and Zagreus are the same person so that makes sense at least.
>>722061727CORRECT. Hadesfags deserved the rope from day one.
>>722071489>Dionysus and Zagreus are the same personCould've used this as a plot point for hades 2
>>722071640They already used it as a joke played on Orpheus in 1
>>722053720I heard our boy flushed this within 10 minutes because he said it was ugly to look at. Looks like he was right.
why are boons so boring? getting items in binding of isaac is more fun
>>722071737I distinctly remember Zeus being way more fun in 1
>>722055947Did they nerf it? I managed to beat Cronos with it during the Early Access and I'm pretty shit at the game
>>722056653>only fatty's can wield this axerub a cheeseburger against the blade
sex with moros and prometheus at the same time!
>>722053804thats your art on gender changing hormones
>>722054130you are delusional if you didnt see the faggotry in the first game as well
>>722066218How is he wrong? You sound like you've got a wikipedia level of understanding of the Odyssey and everything he said is correct.
Not playing pozzed games
>>722054824How is that possible? The plot in Hades was boring as fuck.
>>722054130go look at the cast of the first game. all the signs were there you gullible tard
>>722053804Circe. It's not even her worst depiction if fiction:(He knots the lace. Bella places her foot on the floor. Bloom raises his head. Her heavy face, her eyes strike him in midbrow. His eyes grow dull, darker and pouched, his nose thickens.)BLOOM: (Mumbles.) Awaiting your further orders we remain, gentlemen,...BELLO: (With a hard basilisk stare, in a baritone voice.) Hound of dishonour!BLOOM: (Infatuated.) Empress!BELLO: (His heavy cheekchops sagging.) Adorer of the adulterous rump!BLOOM: (Plaintively.) Hugeness!BELLO: Dungdevourer!BLOOM: (With sinews semiflexed.) Magmagnificence!BELLO: Down! (He taps her on the shoulder with his fan.) Incline feet forward! Slide left foot one pace back! You will fall. You are falling. On the hands down!BLOOM: (Her eyes upturned in the sign of admiration, closing, yaps.) Truffles!(With a piercing epileptic cry she sinks on all fours, grunting, snuffling, rooting at his feet: then lies, shamming dead, with eyes shut tight, trembling eyelids, bowed upon the ground in the attitude of most excellent master.)BELLO: (With bobbed hair, purple gills, fat moustache rings round his shaven mouth, in mountaineer’s puttees, green silverbuttoned coat, sport skirt and alpine hat with moorcock’s feather, his hands stuck deep in his breeches pockets, places his heel on her neck and grinds it in.) Footstool! Feel my entire weight. Bow, bondslave, before the throne of your despot’s glorious heels so glistening in their proud erectness.BLOOM: (Enthralled, bleats.) I promise never to disobey.
Who is she meant to appeal to?
>>722073336>abusive, insufferable bulldykeTumblr auditory.
>>722073336Nobody. She's there to piss you off and motivate you through spite. You're supposed to hate her cause she's a bitch. Same as Eris.
>>722073336me, her voice is sexy
>>722073336Hasebe Soutsu fans
>>722073336>arrogant muscular dyke with a shitty personalityreddit, they eat this shit up. also whoever the person is on the dev team that clearly has a fetish for bitchy women. nemesis is essentially aeven more shittier version of megara from the first game.
>>722070565They drifted apart, he realized he's into sirens now, yes these sirens.
>>722057196What’s the problem with Hephaestus exactly? Isn’t he described as misshapen and deformed in the mythology? Being a fatty kind of evokes dwarf energy which fits his smithing thing and being in a chair is a step up from being ugly.
the ending sucks>Zagreus talks to Chronos in the past>dude I'm good now lmaoIt's in character for Zag but it kind of comes out of nowhere and it makes the whole game feel pointless.
>>722073421Eris is bae
>>722073553>bratty girlsi like those too, meg at least was hot though.
>all lesbian romances are abusive and dysfunctional>all straight romances are loving and healthyWhat did Supergiant mean by this?
>>722073553Eris is a childish bitch. Meg was just a grumpy ex who still loves Zag.
>>722073336Me. Rivals to lovers combined with the entire toxic yuri aspect is pure fucking kino. I know /v/ hates it by virtue of being gay but look past the culture war bullshit and it's a well done romance.
>>722058393Hades 1 character was typical lite lefty shit, the typical some characters are just randomly brown and slightly ugly, but the main character is still a White dude (they should all be White it's Greek gods)Hades 2 character design is full blown pozzed AIDS faggot shit
>>722073595To be fair the talk had a pointy argument behind it, and present Cronos only became good because he suddenly got hit by a time-paradox brain-washing
>>722073687They clearly hate het romances and so made them boring.
>>722073336As bad as she is Eris is way worse. Literal BPD bitch. I find it funny that both of the dyke options are legit garbage people while the two guy options are wholesome and caring. Given who the devs are that obviously wasn't the intention so that makes it even funnier.
>>722073553thisKorra is beloved by redditors over the kino superior in every way original for the same retarded reason.
>>722073701eris has BPD be nice
>>722073849>I find it funny that both of the dyke options are legit garbage people while the two guy options are wholesome and caring.Probably because carpet munching fat blue hairs wrote the story of this game and know firsthand how fucking shit other dykes are. There's a reason Lesbians are notorious for chimping out on eachother and not even fucking.
>>722073558>drifted apart>Odysseus>drifted apart with his wife Penelope>Penelope who rebuked a hundred suitors and waited for his return for 20 fucking yearsSo Achilles and his implied lover Patroclus get to be forever faithful to each other, but the actual icon of fidelity in the greek world gets fucked?This has made me violently angry. You better be fucking trolling me, anon.
>>722073849The only thing i dislike about Moros is that he's not a rapechad. He's too nice for the embodiment of a concept of inevitability. Otherwise, his relationships with Melinoe are extremely well done, the first time she even shows a glimpse of personal agency is when she decides to chase him and summon him after briefly meeting him.
>>722074037You think the devs that blackwashed half the gods and made Artemis a dyke in Hades 2 cares about accuracy?
>tfw no cute witch goddes to fancy me with capious amount of nectarnot fair
>>722074037Find better reasons to be violently angry.
>>722074113I know nothing about mythology but isn't making the goddess of virginity a lesbian make sense.
Scylla tentacle rape
>>722074328Death to ESL
>>722074113I know they sanitized and changed up a lot of nastier stuff that happened in the myths... but why this? Why shit on a wholesome story? I wasn't reall bothered that much by other cases.>>722074281Like what?
is it good? bros in my family share thingy on steam have it so I can try it for free but I'm like ehhnever played any games of that genre ever
If you fight Eris with Hecuba as a familiar she says she hates dogs
>>722074581Pretty sure she says she hates cats when Toula scratches her too. She just has no redeeming qualities in general.
why would one willingly romance eris? she's one of the shittiest (intentionally at that) character in any gamenemesis atleast has a tsundere vibe to her and has a good design, but eris is fucking trash
>>722074631Makes me want to try blocking some of her shots with Frinos to see if she has any unique dialog for that like Hecate does
>>722073553You have to remember the kinds of hypocrites these devs cater to. Here's a good example, someone made s figure of Hecate with the full approval of the voice actress herself. Yet redditors couldn't help but cry about how sexualized it was. Meanwhile one of the gods is wearing a thong with his bulge just hanging out yet not a peep about that.
>>722068170Do you think they realized too late in development that Mel is a fucking boring uninteresting character with low appeal and just found another way to end it
>>722074708Neither Eris nor Nemesis have ever gotten a single nectar out of me. Those relationships will never develop.
>>722074926she's about as interesting as zagreus, which is to say not much, both are blank canvases for people to insert themselves into the story.
>>722074926There was unused art in the early access version showing Chronos as a decrepit white man in a nightmareMaybe Hypnos putting him to sleep and Mel keeping him locked in an eternal nightmare really was the original ending
>>722074926I think they knew since the beginning, several gods shit on her for being boring compared to Zag. I honestly don't know how to fix this. This is Zag's franchise and Zag's story.
>>722073849Lesbian bed Death is a thing for a reason.
Is it intended that the gods and romances are ugly and unlikeable while the useless side characters are appealing? Is this commentary
>>722075028>she's about as interesting as zagreusAbso fucking lutely not. Zagreus is /soc/ incarnate, dude is suave, witty and smart, he has great banter with all bosses who can speak. Mel spends 80% of the time in a completely blank state spouting obvious shit.It doesn't help the bosses don't feel nearly as "personal" as Zag's angry ex trying to hunt him down.
>>722068170I know this is plebbit and all, but she's unironically making good points there
>>722075028Zag is a great character.
>>722073315What the fuck?
I think Melinoe is a good character actually
>>722073562Well just look at the original for reference:>thin, if not outright fit>not a brown indian>not a full blown cripple just lame>no prosthetic leg>too ugly for his mother and wife but not for his second wifeMeanwhile here they dumped into a single character:>poc representation>obese representation>prosthetic leg rep.>dnd wheelchair rep.>barafag aesthetic>+dwarfism?You don't really see the problem?If they had made a fantasy dwarf as you said (or just Torbjorn but greek) people would have been cool whatever, but they made the "trans bisexual black disabled midget" representation dumpster people have been memeing for years. Same shit with Hestia.
>>722075028What the fuck are you on about? Zagreus is a charming rogue, down to bant with just about anyone. Melinoe meanwhile is just... there.
>>722068995are you saying hades isn't all about the gameplay ?
>>722075307You forgot about the donkey he used to get around
I'm finding the Aphrodite cast circle really good because of the damage+vacuum. Any other extremely broken boons like the scorch on special + dual daggers?
>>722054130They must be better men
genuinely how do you fix the axe? it feels like i'm playing on hard mode whenever I use it no matter what build I go for/how many upgrades I insert into it
>>722073562He is. Honestly he's probably the most passable change. It's just that literally everything else sucks so much ass.>>722073595>>722073772That sounds like such ass. Honestly this game was bad from the start. Hades 1 had a much more engaging setting. Escaping an abusive household and all the mysteries and the like felt constraining and made it easier to sympathize with Zag about what's going on. Also the characters were less obnoxious. I'm not saying there wasn't annoying moments but they WERE less obnoxious. Honestly this game didn't NEED a sequel. It didn't.
>>722075452He actually could walk with support. But yes he's mostly seen with his donkey (work mule for the work mule god)
>>722075367>Melinoe meanwhile is just... there.i think the problem is mainly the voice, and that most people playing are male so they'll naturally relate more to zag>Mel spends 80% of the time in a completely blank state spouting obvious shit.zag did this too, you just paid less attention, it's a developer tool to have you pay attention to specific details.
It's better that Melinoe is a nice girl, imagine if she was as snarky as Zag, there'd be constant bitching about her being a quirk chungus or girlboss.
>>722076134You can be a nice girl and still have charisma
Zamn, axe is good ackshually.
>>722076009>most people playing are male so they'll naturally relate more to zagMel is not the first female protagonist in history of vidya and the only thing you have in common with Zagreus is probably having a dick. Mel is just a stick in the mud. even the characters spell it out.
>>722075052>I honestly don't know how to fix thisThey could've made her a bit more spunky instead of this awkward mix of a soldierly and sheltered. I get the idea, she's been isolated and trained for her purpose for a long time and now that her time has come, she just wants to get down to business. The atmosphere isn't as casual as Hades 1 on top of that, so it's a bit tougher for everyone to breathe. Though I can also very easily see a spunkier Melinoe being insufferable, so maybe they did write themselves into a corner.
In hindsight, i think they did a very good choice with their previous female lead: they made her mute.
>>722076134She's more a good girl than a nice girl. It's a relevant distinction to make.
>still undisputed best girl
>>722075547you can dash mid second and third swing and the attack will still happen, hope that helps you a bit
>>722076629Melinoe might as well be mute I don't see what's wrong with her voice
>>722053720I don't play woke garbage. I did enjoy Hades 1 though, shame that was the last one.
>>722076134Zag's snark is mostly seen as awkward, people actually make fun of him for it in game. He's just a dweeb trying to look cool.
>>722076134>It's better that Melinoe is a nice girlShould have called her Melatonin
>>722076657>ywn call melinoe a good girl whilst she obeys your every command
>>722076701/k/ femcelBut yes.
>>722053720I don't play woke shit
>>722077141she's an /out/ volcel. get it right.
>>722075307>>poc representationHe's Greek. They're all Greek, it's a game based on Greek mythology. Why would there be a single white person in Hades II?
>>722077519caucasian is white anon, at least what most people consider being "white" to be.
>>722077382That deer fascination and love for hunting tells me otherwise.
>>722075296You rike?
>>722077694Greeks are latino
>>722077880greeks are greeks and they have a different skin tone than "latinos"
>>722073315>BELLO: Dungdevourer!?
>>722053720I uninstalled after a couple hours, died 2 times to the dog boss and couldn't be bothered to slog through the same shit for a third time, especially cause the boons kept repeating
>>722078058Bella (Circe) turns Bloom (Odysseus) into a female pig. Pigs eat dung.
>>722077821/out/>actually outdoors, hunting and eating game/k/>fantasizing about shooting something with their gunThe real /k/tard is Ares. He nerds out when he sees the Adamant Rail in Hades 1.
>>722077519Nigga no one is greek in this game. They are not considered as such by the artist, the devs or the target audience. Greek gods were in they words "worshiped in Greece not ethnically greek".And regardless of what /pol/, /int/ or benjamin franklin has to say, you should go and read how ancient authors described these people. A shit ton of them are "fair" and "golden haired" and "grey eyed" including Athena herself. So yes these greeks seem kinda white not pocs.
Is this game just as grindy as the first one? It took absolutely forever to get any of the permanent progression mats in Hades 1.
>>722078771Even grindier, actually.
>>722078515What the fuck did Dionysus just fucking say about me, that little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of mount Olympus, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Persia, and I have over 3000000 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top doom caster in the entire pantheon. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe him the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over Hermes' messages? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of Spartans across Greece and your boon is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The 100 damage on weapon hit that wipes out the pathetic little thing those wretches call their life. They're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime provided you wear my vial on you, and I can kill wretches in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with the Twin Fists of Malphon. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of six weapons and I will grant you boons to use it to its full extent to wipe your dad's miserable ass off the face of the underworld, you little kin. If only you could have known what unholy retribution their little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe he would have held his fucking tongue. But he couldn't, you didn't, and now you're getting my very best boon, you goddamn cousin. I will shit fury all over your enemies and you will drown in its glory of blood. They're fucking dead, kiddo.
>>722053720Hades II now has a female protag right? If so I'm not playing it based on that alone.
>>722078771wayyyy waaaaaaaaaaaaay grindier
>this is ugly and woke according to /v/
>>722078771They specifically add mats that make the enemies hit 70+ per move and you deal less damage until they unlock
>>722079497Female protagonist is not necessarily a death sentence. Silent Hill 3 is good, Silksong is good.Hades 2 is not good, it feels worse than the original in every measurable way.
>>722079649>mats that make the enemies hit 70+ per movewat
>>722058393>>722054130Didn't buy either. I will just buy better games
>>722079685silksong has a mute protagonist and barely and dialogue, it's not even close to comparable.
>>722080085Why do you talk about games you haven't played?
>>722079791were you excited for the sequel to come out so you could come and whine in its threads as well?
>>722080249Yep, it's better than the game
>>722060970Men.......
just installed the game and apollo is offered me a first buff, how important is it for the rest of my playtime? can I just take one without thinking much?
>>722080195i've played hollow knight though. long stretches of gameplay with 0 dialogue and no voice acting.
>>722060875I dunno anon, should you transition?
>>722080470Nothing you do in this game matters. The more hours you waste more overpowered shit they give and there is no thinking or learning required.
>>722080470boons are reset when you die, a playthrough is usually 30-45 minutes. less if you die early which is going to happen if you're new.
>>722080482And you're talking about Silksong.
>>722080470Those only matter for the next 10-25 minutes, roughly.Probably 10 since it's your first run.
>>722080592devs don't change their entire modus operandi in sequels, and you haven't actually contradicted me faggot.
>>722080470It's new everytime bro have you never played a roguelite
>>722080662Hornet isn't mute, there's your contradiction, how do you think I could tell you haven't played it?
>>722079752>“Blessing” of Strife>Your foes deal +20% damage. This grows each Encounter.>Increases by +5% after clearing each Encounter.My memory was off in terms of damage but in execution its actually even worse. By clearing 20 rooms after the base 20 is applied, damage increases by 220%. That means a hit of 10hp could deal 220hp
>>722080814anon, stop giving him yous, he's barely trying.
>>722080890What does that have to do with mats and grinding and the damage you deal?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this duo boon not actually pretty bad for Origination if you apply burn and freeze with the same move? I've got:>burn on enemies in cast + gusts on cast>burn on attack + hammer that makes special fire with dash attack + freeze on specialsI assume the first one will still work for the double curse damage boost just fine because gust isn't freeze but as soon as I throw a special at them it'll just disable the buff, and the second one won't trigger it at all except maybe on that one tick of a tiny amount of boosted burn.
>>722080814looked it up, it's not even proper dialogue lmao, she just grunts and ocasionally sings in some indie language. but hey, congratz you got me, she's not "mute".
>>722081727That's not what dialogue means, but nice try. Dialogue doesn't need voice acting.
>pick Icarus' exploding casts ability>realize 10 minutes later I made Typhon impossibleFuck
>>722081870I honestly hate the annoying grunts and sound effect indiedevs are using for the dialogue. They literally drill holes in my eardrum.
>>722053720Just beat Chronos for the first time. Got really lucky with drops and beat him easily, so the victory felt hollow. Still getting my ass handed to me by Prometheus though. I came in with like 4-5 death defiance and still lost.
>>722080674>have you never played a rogueliteunironically never, and I cant even beat hecate after 2 tries lol, filtered by the first boss
>>722073336Her voice is pure sex. Meg in 1 was in the same boat.
>>722083472>2 triesyeah that's nothing. it's kinda expected for you to die in this type of game, at least getting to hecate is fast so you get to learn the fight easily, chronos won't be so lenient.
>>722073635You just know Eris is contemplating eating Mel’s pussy out whenever they interact.
>>722083449>Got really lucky with drops and beat him easily, so the victory felt hollow.That's just how it goes for the first few victorious runs until you've done it enough to have all the bosses dialed in. Then it's almost impossible to lose unless you get totally fucked by the RNG.
>>722073595>5 Underworld runs and Zag finds Chronos' spot>5 Surface runs and you can make that Spear, but that Spear is pointless since Zag doesn't use itlol
>>722075431There’s a ton of content revolving around relationships with every unique character, moreso than even the first game, so yeah.
>>722073849>Goddesses of revenge and discord are bitchesShocker
>>722083717>impossible to losethat's the point when you turn the difficulty dial up so you can actually feel the adrenaline pumping during the fights.
>>722068170>Brothers solve everything>Sisters belong in the kitchenBased message from all 3 games
>>722074708Imagine the hatesex.
why can the "get bones per location" red aura effect thingy affect weapons I don't even have yet?
>story is slop>character design is slop>gameplay is mashy rollslop>every run is just the same empty rooms with randomly spawning enemies>boss design is OK sometimes, usually badwhat the fuck, why do people like this trash game? there's literally nothing good about it.
UOOOOOOOOOOH
>>722084251as usual for these types of things, it's to prevent people from not unlocking weapons they don't like and getting free extra bones.
>>722080470The whole course of your life rests on this decision.
>>722061783Bro, gods sleep with animals all the time.
>>7220537201. Just finished it. At no point during the playthrough I felt like improving. Dies to a boss, gets a new item or ability boss goes down because you know the pattern.2. Why are there 20 different ways to just pick power ups? It felt like a chore, just give it to my after every death.
HELP MEI took a Dionysus boon and now none of my +% damage boons are doing anything. My big windup omega attack does 5 damage totalIt was supposed to modify my base damage not my total this is such bullshit it ruined the whole runAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>722056931Hades is actually pretty niche if you're going by playercount.
>>722084395That goose is Zeus in disguise.
>>722084346how would they know if they don't like them if they haven't even unlocked them yet?
>>722053720Is the game complete now? I enjoyed the 1st but I don't play early access slop
>>722085002it's to protect players from themselves and not make people feel bad about unlocking weapons they don't like.here's a scenario where the bonus includes only weapons you bought, you unlocked a new weapon but you don't like it, now you have to play with it because it's added to your rooster of weapons with the bonus.
>>722084996Still an animal. Loki became a female horse and gave birth to a child. Gods are shapeshifting things, not actual persons
>>722084395And I'm not greater than any godHence why me sleeping with Arachne is fine.
>>722084959Not really, it's one of the most successful indies ever and Hades 2 broke 100k concurrent players on Steam.>But Silksong/Elden Ring/Palworld sold way moreYou can literally say that CoD is niche compared to Minecraft's player base by that logic.
>>722053720Yes. i'm someone who never really care about builds or whatever in games but for some reason i really enjoy builds here and spend a lot of time thinking about what to choose, also it also has the best progression in any game i've played
>>722084959sonic racing crossworlds is at sub 10k players and hades 2 is at 100k on steamhades 2 is not niche
Game seems antiwhite with how it treats Greek gods and such.
Holy shit how many gifts does it take to max someone?Because If I have to do this with every single fucker it will take me a shit load of runs
>>722053804European culture seen through jewish eyes.
Verifiable proof of knuckles saving the run. Genuinely took me a second to even register that it wasn't me who died. And here I thought I was going to speeeen the living shit out of him.
>>722085215>Gods are shapeshifting things, not actual personsThat's the biggest misconception when it comes to Greek Myth. Prometheus created mankind based on the shape of the Titans. In Greek Myth, gods are actual people meanwhile human are just immitations of said people. And Greek gods in general don't have sex with animals, they want humanoid forms to fuck with. That's why Hades kidnapped Persephone instead of fucking whatever the pigs he found on the street.
Really want to try strength but I'd have to give up Divinity. Thoughts?
>>722085215Dionysus's mother literally died from the heat and aura of Zeus's true form. Greek Gods have default form and identity, and the humans were created based on the gods.
So is the backstab sword completely useless on typhon?Also give me your best axe builds, I can't get a win with this shit, even the cyclop is killing my ass
>>722086431Once you've upgraded Strength you won't really feel the difference, just maybe grab one or two more health upgrades than you would normally
>>722085558I unironically want a Greek Myth game that features Greek Gods as literall white stone statues. Would be more interesting than whatever these revisionist games are doing.
ummmmmwhy did their aunt give her brother a naked wall mural of herself?
>>722087150It's not a mural. Just a poster, and Zagreus bought it himself.
>>722087150Aphrodite's lover is her grandkid. Gods literally don't give a fuck.

>>722087758good morning sir
If you could get 1 of the Infernal Arms in this game. Which would it be?
>>722088000Probably the shield since I don't think any of the nocturnal arms have bouncing attacks by default, otherwise I think everything the old weapons did are pretty well represented
>>722053804the creature which turns my mc into a loli
>>722088000Rail. Plus a bonus of taking it away from Eris and hearing her moan and screech about it.
>>722053720
>>722088212>cosplay aphro>wear clothes
>>722053720So what's the idea behind merging Chronos and Cronos?
>>722088448they wanted to do the good ol' son against father thing but Cronos doesn't really have any notable powers, unless you count eating children.
What the FUCK is the point of Poseidon's boons? Are they just dogshit with most weapons or am i missing something?
>>722089463Splash is fantastic on staff and sister blades.Froth adds a fuckton of damage.His Omega cast buff deals insane damage if you combine it with Demeter's.
>>722088212these designs dont translate well into 3dpd
>>722053953Man the Moros torches are extremly good for clearing fooder but I can't kill Typhon with them, I've tried twice with strong build but I end up sucking dick instead.Pan and Charon aspects are so good for that fight because you just chill on the back and start smashing until he dies
>TrannyshitPASS.dwarf fortress tym
>>722088212>all brown in the game except for mel an artemis>only white girls (and old white women) are cosplaying them allthis is cultural appropriation
>>722089838No black girl cares about HadesThe designs are solely to appeal to white women and the diseased artist.
>Build is shit>Get the duo boon that revives the first enemy you kill two rooms before Typhon>Kill the floating eye thing during the fight>It fucking rapes Typhon without me doing anything elseOutskilled.
>>722089838>all brown in the game except for mel an artemisand Eris and Nemesis and Persephone and Demeter and Aphrodite and Hypnos and Icarus and Medea and Hermes and Zeus and Heracles. But yea, pretty much.
>>722081707It's not a single tick, it instantly consumes all scorch to deal 200% damage of however many stacks they have. It's fucking nutty amounts of burst damage and means you don't need to rely on getting the boon that makes scorch tick faster.
>>722089463Poseidon is amazing, I love his boons on morrigan's blades it hits the whole area, plus sea star just keeps on giving you extra stuff like upgrades, gold and hp
Hey guys, since we're talking this sorta thing, I gotta ask. What African myth like any kind you can think of, would be suitable to whitewashed? Any deities or heroes.
anyone found a use for eris keepsake?
>>722088212Medea pregnancy
>>722090689i can't find her hot simply because her boss fight is fullblown aids
>>722090543I have no idea of any African myths and I can bet money most people don't.
Icarus is pretty cute compared to Mel's other 3 romance options
>>722091146I know of Anansi because he is in SMT
>>722090543>What African myth like any kind you can think of, would be suitable to whitewashed?All of them, it's clearly open season.
Help me with my vows
Is this multiplicative?
>>722056653default attack is too shit to bother so i just use special spam. Maybe if dash attack didn't exist it would be better.Also compared to excalibur from 1 it's about two times slower and has nothing special besides "well it deals damage" and for how slow it is the damage is shit.
>>722076474>The atmosphere isn't as casual as Hades 1 This is really the main issue. Hades 1 had an aura of levity in that it seemed pretty clear that everything that was going on was just Zagreus' bit. It was something he wanted to do and was actively pursuing it. In Hades 2 everything that happens to Mel is ordained by other people. It isnt really her quest. I feel like the devs just didnt really know how to continue the story so they threw in a titanomachy just for the stakes to be high. Its such a stark contrast with the family drama of the first game and only drags the game down. People have even noticed that the ending this time doesnt really fit the tone of the game at all.
>>722091827Hordes is free real estate and money.Rivals or no balls.
>>722078683anon her skin is grey. her hair is grey too, and her lips are fucking blue. thats not a black woman, shes got crazy god skin coloring like ares does, whos skin is literally charcoal black like it was burned in the fires of war. her features dont even look black
>>722091827Shadow is pretty free, wards is free on anything that isn't an axe build and even then a DoT cast nullifies it. Hordes and Grit are fairly playable. Debt level 1 just means you don't buy out the store every time
>mfw grabbing the axe hammer that makes every hit become the last attack of the combo>mfw surface routeI can't hit anyone in olympus with this shit
>>722092146axe desperately needs the hermes attack speed buff
>>722079647/v/ just wants to be outraged at something
>>722092146I don't want the hammer that removes the sweeps, I want a hammer that removes the dogshit slam at the end!
>>722092146I literally just did it myself and realised that you can't even use it properly because you do dash attack first unless you stand still for a full second and dash attack delays it just enough to be super shit to land the actual big hit.Currently got demeter mana regen and gonna try switching to special spam.
>>722092232>>722092351How did we went from excalibur to this...Did no one playing on early access bitched about this???
>>722092351just dont use it
>>722076701Sorry, I’m still batting for my batshit insane fish wife.
>>722092461but it's so hard to not use. the combo persists through dashes and specials.
>>722092401I ended up chipping prometheus to death with my casts
>>722092517you can get infinite combo using attack -> special -> attack tho
>>722053804Obviously a Greek god
can you make mel a slut and have her romance everyone in the game?
>>722077030Zag does come off as kind of a dork and people call him out on his stupid comments all the time, especially Hades.It makes sense that Mel has a completely different personality and talks differently, since she was actually raised by a parent that cared for her and was surrounded by support and had a clear role and mission her whole life.Zag was a rich kid having to cope with being idle and doing nothing while Mel was born in the same family years later after the money ran out and had to learn how to earn a living by herself.
How does the combo arcana work? just mash attack?
>>722076701Why is this so common?
Prometheus is honestly harder than Typhon after a few attempts.
>>722080470Always pick percentage increases first and the complement with raw damange increase.
>Polyphemus with rivals onHoly shit thats cancer.
>>722092721You can't make slut of what is already a slut.She is a woman so she must slut.You can fuck all of them.
>>722093203worst fight in the game and it isn't close
>>722087548I unironically think it's a major missed opportunity to not have made Zagreus a romance option.He's already everyone's favourite character.
>>722092927sporty tomboyish petite women who love the outdoors and are independent and self sufficient are all attractive traits.
>>722093253You can at least learn this fight and no hit it over time.Rivals Chronos is where the difficulty is.
>>722093387No. It's faux antlers, green hair, and arrows
>>722089463I like it on my axe to I can clear a room with just a few swings and I like the water sprint.
>>722093253His fight just needs you to hug the pools or stay back when the projectiles start.Rival Cerberus’ fight is pure aids on every level.
>>722054130satanism
>>722093502I thought we didnt like green hair here
Aspect of Hel is pretty fun also holy fuck that prometheus + heracles fight is not fair at all
The protag is kinda hot but the rest of the cast is some of the ugliest in modern vidya. Concord tier god designs, I will skip this one
>>722093968it reminds me a lot of the theseus/asterion fight from hades 1. its gonna be a pain in the ass to learn but it seems fair
>>722073861BPD people aren't, so why should I be?
>>722090543Oh, there are some cool stuff to look around. I love this design here.
>>722085002People online would warn you not to unlock them
>>722091827I always turn Menace and denial up.
Why does a random elite mob encounter in the first surface area have one of the best songs in the game?
>>722094252is menace just a minor inconvinience?
>>722093203It's pretty easy with the momus aspect and the black coat. Just watch where you are stepping and don't take the poison stone slam bait.
>>722094252Basically. It's only an issue in like Olympus when it spawns some big dudes from part 4. If you know how to play the game, you can beat any mook no problem, even if you have less boons/damage.
>>722085216
>>722053953I just fucking hate the torches. What am I missing here?Also:>Jetpacks so lowEasiest typhon kills in the game and some of the most fun daedalus upgrades, especially with the Selene aspect.
>>722056954>>722056816>>722056963Just get the arcana that speeds up your omega moves and you'll be spamming missiles all over the place and shoving your big mech fist in everybody's face all the time.
>>722093203Honestly all the rival fights are harsh as fuck. Extreme Measures can't compare.
>>722091827At low level, the one that limits your grasp is just three free points if you’ve unlocked bottom right
>>722094805I fucking hate the torches too. I cannot stand going from the usual mashing to holding down the button.
>>722064996i hate this bitch so much. what a miserable stand in for best girl dusa
>>722053953morrigan that low is obviously wrong. he is up to something with this list.
>>722094805Hold m1 with proc on hits, and shit out infinite damage
>>722068874I still didn't finish my shiva, but it's Selene for me.
>>722095128he says all the aspects are good to great except aspect of mel coat
Mel is a great character. She's a single minded living weapon who repeats everything Hecate ever says to her. She quotes Hecate word for word during the Nemesis bath scene and tries to pass it off as her own wisdom, probably unknowingly. She's an automaton.
>>722071737More action oriented roguelike so they have to balance the boons around the game mechanics. BoI also is filled with items that can kill your run and anti-synergy with is really hard to happen in Hades.
>>722075547Just get the Thanatos aspect. It fixes the axe connundrum.
>>722090009Does it just keep ramming him?
>>722095241but morrigan is broken!!!
>>722095440Nah, the actual solution is the hidden aspect since it has lifegain to help offset getting your face beat and also attack speed, you just proc it with omega attacks
I'm sick of the RNG. I want to keep attempting typhon but the gods keep serving me some useless dogshit that I can't fix even with 9 rerolls at my disposal.
>>722088000If just by how much I like it, the fists, but they could just make it a new aspect of the mech suit. By mechanics, it has to be rail, yes.
>>722053720Beaten Chronos 3 times and gotten to Typhon once but died on his last phase. Will hopefully beat Typhon after wagingWhat boons work best for the skull gun? Cant find a good way of using that
>>722095487Yes. It goes up in the air (not sure if it is a bug) and just spins on his face doing 700 damage roughly twice every second.
>>722095615i found apollo is really strong with it
>its tartarus treasure room and the sack decided to fly to the corner of the map/above unreachable abyss and stay there so you can't dodge anythinggood game.
>>722095565stop crutching on rerolls you dont need them. crutch on hexes instead.
>>722095549Truly? I'll try it today. I just unlocked the axe secret aspect yesterday.
>>722095615the omega special is best part of skull because its iframes for days. any % damage is good, aphrodite highest % so she is best but theyre all fine.
>>722095704git gud
>>722091587Which African deity or myth character is your favorite, my good sir? And do you think they look good in caucasian white?
How do you unlock secret aspects? Is it different for each weapon?
>>722095752It'll feel bad until you max level it since unlike most other aspects where it's just a damage increase, decreasing the number of hits required to proc the buff is actually essential to the thing working. I don't know what they were thinking with the axe as a whole
>>722095821max out another aspect and then beat a run on both surface and underground i think is what you have to do
>>722094805Zeus' chain lightning on the torches is insanely powerfulBesides that havent found any particularly great synergies with it
>>722095821Get a non-base aspect to level 5. I don't know if you have to beat runs since I have no memory of what I did during early access, but I instantly get offered them after maxing a non-Mel aspect despite having done like 10 with the Mel aspect maxed
>>722095706I need rerolls because there's fuckall boons on the surface. What are hexes gonna do? Fire a laser beam for a quarter of my regular DPS?
>>722096116noob
>>722096116The falling meteor is absurdly good.
>>722096116>What are hexes gonna do?Slow time, morph for crowd control in olympus, heals, and temp invulnerability are all good
>>722096116The polymorph hex can be used to instantly kill the adds inbetween phases, if it hits the eggs before they spawn it just deletes them plus after that it still charges pretty fast and you can upgrade it do like an instant 400 to Typhon himself plus potentially a godsent effect or two.
>>722096116My record for moonbeam is 20k damage.It’s insanely powerful against Typhon
night bloom is an instant win button a lot of the time especially if you get the servants stay alive indefinitely buff
>>722094805Torches require a very specific type of build. Get Moros ones, zeus on special and hera on attack. Then start stacking magick with Heras talent to prime for full magic. Its insanely busted. And also those are the ONLY requirements, but best ones to aim is the waves on omega and cast from Poseidon and Heras fissure on omega. If you get all that you delete everything. (200+ Magick is enough to nuke any boss without health boost vows)
Also fun Hex fact, Selene boons don't actually count as boons to Poseidon so his duplicate can proc on them and get you through their upgrade tree super fast.
>>722096116Lazer is busted if you get it early and pump it. Hex is always insanely useful on surface with just few upgrades since it has like 80% uptime.And the Jump one is superb to just spam.
>>722095629That's metal
So what's the trick in getting hex upgrades you want? just rng? I got that invuln form with "inherits attack upgrades" once and then never saw it again.
>>722095629now that's what I call eyeballing it.
>fighting prometheus>he does his simon says attack>have to go from bottom to top>start running as soon as his attack is finished>hits me well before the fire effect is anywhere near meam i fucking missing somethingI'll post the vid once im done waging
>>722096896yeah sadly its rng
>>722096938Sprint and dash when you're near the border, the i-frames will do the job.t. got burned a lot when going from top to the bottom and the other way around
>>722097029Im mostly pissed because the visual for the fire was nowhere near me. Felt very cheap
How the fuck do I get the torches hidden aspect I already have Melinoe and Eos maxed out do I need to level Moros aspect too?
>>722097116Moros has a fuckton of dialogue to go through. Also Its the only one that CANT be the first hidden aspect you ever unlock.
>>722097202I already got all other aspects unlocked so he is just being a fag.Also pic related is me with the aspect of Nergal + the Ares boon that heals when I'm low HP
>Just finished run with Upgraded ScyllaFuck me Im not looking forward to seeing Upgraded Prometheus in the slightest. Just Scylla and Comp was fucking hell even with athena dash deflect.
