>Silksong getting comfy threads 24/7 for 2 weeksHades 2 bros... can we have at least one (1) comfy thread?
I THINK THE AXE SUCKS
>>722442953I thought Hades II would be THE hot thing after release but as it turns out people just really love weird lil guys
>>722442953how is it any different from the first game
>>722442953WE NEED TO BE BETTER MAN
>>722442953Not sure why but even though I played the game for 10+ hours in early access and have been looking for something to play, it just doesn't appeal to me at the moment.
>>722442974but it's the best weapon?
>>722443176Different combat rhythm that tries to avoid dash-attack spam, you have two maps to explore instead of one, and the metaprogression has a neat little combo system where you're trying to line up a bingo board while also choosing which perks you actually want.
>>722442953gib Scylla gf
>>722443176>how is it any different from the first gameall the commotion between the fighting is worsei myself am a storywhore who cares most about story in games, and this game's story is worse because its characters and the way they speak and the way they look and their feud is just worse
Melinoë is CUTE
How many runs do I have to win to get the ending?
>+50 damage every 3 secondsI don't understand Ares boons. This seems like absolute dogshit on any weapon.
>>722442953They hate us cause they anus.
>>722443608It is base damage so it is multiplied by any % buff, kinda ass tho.
>>722442974thanatos aspect is ok but the tard rage hidden aspect is amazing
>>722443608Same as ever it seemsFeels like the higher tier boons drop more for him?
>>722442974>>722443246Staff>Axe>Knives>Skull>Cape>>>>>>Torch
any mentions of meg in 2?
>>722443303i wish the arcana board was twice as bigbasically picked all the ones i thought were best and never felt then need to change for different weapons
>>722442974axe is awesome once you learn enemy moves. if you try to learn with it it's torture.>>722443737I did it in 50, but if you mean how many wins you need, it's 11. 5 on the surface, 6 underground.
>>722443176It has a worse story/ending
>>722443608Ares needs heavy investment unlike Hestia or HeraHis shit is nuts after several boons but weaker initially
Is it genuinely pronounced "Skilla"? I've been pronouncing it "Silla" for like 15 years
>Actually made a broke Heph buildAll it took was level 8 Boon to decrease its refresh time to 2 seconds, 2 Duo Boons, and a level 6 passive to increase its damage significantly.Having a fuck ton of HP is optional.
>>722443976It's pronounced either Skill-ah, or Stzyll-ah depending on the character. I usually go for the latter.
God mana boons should still work while using mana, sucks ass otherwise. Aphrodite's nigh useless.
>>722443976you're right, the C is silent
>>722442974You are wrong.Charon with Apollo mp regen start is basically free win usually.
>>722442953You actually try to discuss games you like here?
>>722443903>learn bosses patterns>mfw Cerberus fight is just me spamming the special and chipping cerberus to death
>>722444112>Aphrodite's nigh useless.it's good if you're using a melee weapon and are going to be close anyway
>>722443303>Different combat rhythm that tries to avoid dash-attack spamCould have fooled me. I literally could not progress until I started dash attack spamming.
Is the axe hidden aspect better than Charon?
>>722444228I just accept that I'll take some damage and cleave his ass in twain with me axe.
>>722444260Not if you use Omega skills cuz then you don't regen.
>>722442953this game came out in 2024, what's there to say
is it just me or does this game have a lot more visual clutter? the eye of typon has so much shit on screen
>>722444228once you get used to him he's the easiest boss in the game bar none until you buff enemy attack speed with heat>>722444297probably not but it is very fun
post yfw seeing the Prometheus Rivals boss fight for the first time
I literally never use omega attacks ever except on twin stavesIs there any point?
>>722442974>pick final cleave hammer>always die because of it>will pick it AGAINint is a dump stat for strengthchads
>>722443608He also gives double damage stuff which is really nice.Also Ares + Zeus duo with Apollo Light Smite clears rooms very nicely.Also status by itself is half origination.
Is it me or Scorch kinda ass as a main damage source? I had a build stacking 999 in 1 second but it still did nothing
>>722444456Everytime I get an omega cast boon I'm like "oh shit you can omega boost your casts?" and I have like 50 hours in the game
>>722442953It looks like a case of girls prefer bad boys scenario, Silksong treats its players like shit which generates lots of drama between people who point out the game flaws and those who remain in denial.Meanwhile Hades 2 is just great.
>>722444332maybe if you're spamming constantly, otherwise it's very solid. It's a free debuff that let's you trigger privileged status and lowers damage taken if you fuck up while having a decent regen rate
>>722444456Axe Omega Special is retarded, kills shit off screen extremely easily
>>722444494You need the faster burning boon from hestia or it sucks after the 2nd location.That or her duo with Demeter where freezing enemies consumes all scorch for 200% damage.
How do you unlock the special epilogue?Also fuck chaos for never spawning darkness
>>722444456how else are you going to charge your selene skill?
>>722444494it sucks, it literally caps its own damage potential while other builds can go infinitely high
>>722442953I just can't make myself to finish this game. It's just boring. Repeat the same mindless diablolike button smashing again and again while almost none of the conversations actually progress the fucking story at all.
>>722444456Tehy're good on most staff aspectsCharon Axe is bustedHidden Skull needs you to do itHidden Knives need you to use themPan knives are pretty fucking good
>Gunning for anubis staff on a new save for launch>Go topside >Circe shows up 3 times and talks about me killing Typhon several attempts too late>Didn't show up at all after that>Finished the game because I did so many surface runsI don't remember it being this bad in the first game
>>722444576How do I Ares in this game? not sure how to do big damage with him or what other Gods is he good with
We've had threads for over a year now
>>722444608beat chronos, then typhon, then chronos, then typhon, then start giving nectars to the newly spawned charactersfollow the fated list basically
>Axe BAD>Staff BADShut the fuck up retards how do I git gud with the blades, I swear they fucking suck
>>722444525Same. I always use cast to slow down mobs or inflict curse and leave the DPS to my omega specials.
>>722444816Put scorch on attack.Kill everything.Not that hard.
>>722444720I have no idea, honestly. His non-primary boons are pretty good, but the primary ones are abysmal. I don't get the wounds stuff. It sucks. Maybe there's some duo boons that make it good, but I don't want to risk a run fishing for a duo.
>>722444720You stack his own boons they synergize hard. His wounds boons give you access to permanent damage amp on wounded enemies, his blood drop shit gives you stacking attack speed through the encounter. If you get his Hera Duo you can carry 20% bonus between rooms.If you get the Demeter duo you can bring back the classic blade rift builds
>>722444816take zeus's chain lightning, air quality, and poseidon's bonus damage on hit and then go do infinite damagealternatively just grab scorch
hades 2 came out two years ago>early accessdoesn't mean shit anymore, if it ever did.
morph > the rest
Is it me or Cronos super easy compared to Hades? Even Typhon is kind of a jobber.
>>722444565get an other easy curse going on enemies for the massive damage buff arcana too
>>722445004this game is not meant to be that hard on fear0, you can basically go 20-0 on chronos just building the same run on him
>>722444971imagine being this smug about paying to beta test. fuck is wrong with you?
Why does Heracles join Prometheus up top? I can't be fucked doing the rivals stuff.
>>722445114This. The skeleton even calls you out on being a casual if you don't use fear because that's where the real non-journo gameplay is. Even Medea is much harder than Chronos.
where do I get the last familiar? Is it post game?
>>722442953Don't release your game early access for multiple years if you don't want people to lose interest before it launches. Simple as.
>>722445246The polecat? He's in the last room before Prometheus.
>>722444456I use them all the time, they're pretty good. You're gimping yourself hugely if you aren't using them
>>722445246In the room before Prometheus fight.
THE SUN SHALL RIIIIISEAND DAAAAWN WILL BREEEEAK
>>722445251seemed to work out pretty well for both Hades 1 and 2 >>722445286>>722445318No there's another one since I didn't get the achievement I got the cat, the frog, the dog and the polecat
>>722445206yeah I basically lose to scylla and charybdis all the time but on fear 0 I can run to chronos completely casually
>>722445350The raven spawns in the fountain rooms you unlock for Erebus through a pot ritual.
>>722445350fountain room in forest (first underworld area)
When do you start to unlock the different flavors for each weapon? I've killed Chronos four times in a row and finally unlocked the upper area. I feel like I am being punished for not losing enough.
>>722442953DSP got filtered by Hades 2 and is still playing Silksong so that really tells you which one is better
I never feel compelled to play with anything but axe or maybe sword & sickle + Aphrodite attack buff + Hephaestus special buff.
>>722445414>>722445424>beat the game and entirely missed itI must be half blind
>>722445656I assumed you didn't unlock the fountain cause Melinoe mentions the white raven when you pass throught the room.
>>722445602No it doesn't. idk if you're even trying to say SS or Hades 2 is better.
>>722445589It gets unlocked through conversations with Hecatate in her boss fight, so yeah you unironically just need to die and fight the early boss a few more times to get it.
>>722445656same, he was in the first region and I had no clue
>>722445602SS was a fabled never ever that evered and didn't fucking suck.the roach won't stop unless something more lucrative comes round, no matter how hard he gets his ass kicked
>>722445771No. I unlocked all the incantations in EA except the gardenMaybe I saw it once before putting the game down and forgot it before the next patch
Why would a god need a wheelchair? And if he ever needed it why would he need a prosthesis on top of it? Some of the designs feel like a parody.
GODS GET ME OUT OF THIS CHAOS TRIALS NIGHTMARE AND LET ME MAX OUT CHAOS FRIENDSHIP
>>722446219>SomeMost.
>>722446219I assumed it was a shield
>>722446219>why would a fat fuck want to be lazy
>>722446219In myth, Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, used wheeled devices and automatons to aid his mobility.
>>722446219Why would god even look like a human?
>>722446219Lazy fuck that makes makes wheel machines I know it's for DEI but if I actually used a wheelchair I'd feel insulted by being represented by this fucker of all people
>>722446219Nigga it's literally canon
>>722446219>Why would a god need a wheelchair?He's a cripple >And if he ever needed it why would he need a prosthesis on top of it?He's a master craftsman and likes making shit
>>722444350Definitely. Most of the time I take damage is because I simply don't see it coming under the fuckton of explosions happening on the screen.
>>722446676Why can he craft fully automatic self-repairing robots but can't make a wheelchair that isn't just a regular wheelchair.Every single wheelchailer added for "representation" uses the same retarded designed wheelchairs that irl would be considered a torture to be using your entire life, instead of some magical shit. And yes that picture of DnD rogue climbling a wall in wheelchair living rent free in my head.
>>722447053the wheelchair shit isnt even the most egregious part of the game they couldnt even draw cleavage for the girls in a hot spring for fucks sake
>>722447141Oh no, no booba in a video about that isn't about booba.
Prometheus having a memory test attack that oneshots you in the year of zoomzoom and doing it 3 times per fight is fucking bullshitAlso can i fuck the spider and bring her home or no
>>722444494I think Scorch is ass. Even if you have the boon that increases the rate it applies, it's still only around 300 DPS. It needs a Duo to be good.
>>722447329disingenuous why bother adding a scene where they get naked in a bath?
How the fuck do I unlock secret aspects?Also what are your turn-off-brain build? Mine is torches and as much Poseidon boons as I can cram in my ass. Hold lmb and feel a stream of your own salvia on your chest.>>722447053I can say nothing besides that you are correct.>>722447141>couldn't even draw cleavage for the girls in a hot springA fucking crime. Guess I need to be gratefull they even give us any strites at all. Culb be just fade to black.I really hate Catholics sometimes.>>722447396Stand in a first savespot and doge thrue all of them. From a fellow zoomzoom.
>>722447396>oneshotsanon, I...
>>722447454To convey a message.
bros I'm night11 and I cannot beat chronos, recommend me a weapon and a god
>>722447396>Also can i fuck the spider and bring her home or noRemember Dusa?
>>722447589you need rank V in an aspect that isnt Melinoe, at least level II in another, and a conversation with a specific NPC
>>722447396stand in the space safe to feel the timing for the first blast then dodge into the remaining ones
>>722446676That would only make sense if the tech in the world wasn't a weird ancient-futurist blend. Don't pretend you don't know why he had to be specifically in a real ass wheelchair instead of the million more creative alternatives
>>722447781Charon Axe and Apollo or Hera (or both)Momus staff and literally anyone
>>722447781Full up standart knives, pick afrodi, hit him th the back for +1000000% damage. Win.>>722447794>that isnt MelinoeFuck!Thx
>>722442953i don't like hades but i hope you fags have a good thread.also /vg/ sucks
I HATE THE TORCHESI CAN'T SEE ANYTHING
>>722447848Agreed, REAL devs would have given us pic related.
>>722448029Thx 'non. /vg/ is like 60% gachas, why they don't make a separate board for them?>>722448087We have been ROBBED! >>722448062Fwom-Fwom-Whush :DDD

Poseidon single-handedly saved the run after losing almost all HP to Zag and dropping into a trial room.What a legend.
>>722447396>prometheus simon says attack with heracles chimping out and unaffected by it
>>722448792>weapon>Anyif you want to get the most of your winterstorm cast build then Circe staff is pretty huge. Just remember to take the dog cause he gets inbetween enemies.
NICE TRY YOU CHEATING BASTARD.Thought I got through VoR Typhon on the first try with 2 Death Defiances left cause Artemis Blades OP, only for THAT to happen and I almost got wiped completely.Never fucking doing that shit again. Really cool in concept, but just chock full of dick moves.
>>722448395time piece isnt worth it but the other two are okchoice of gods is generally way better than improved gods though, upgraded boons is not very meaningful if you just get slop all day
>>722449285Rivals Typhon is basically the same fight to me, Prometheus and Heracles are the real final boss. Actually Olympus and the Summit might be the real final bosses. The areas are so much harder to get through.
>>722449285After you get used to rivals normal bosses feel like 0 challenge, even with 40%+ speed to enemies.
>>722442974Funny because literally none of the axe aspects is bad. Meli one has big chungus hp boost, Nergal can make you unkillable easily, Charon is competing for best weapon in game with Anubis/Circe and Medea skull, and Thanathos can get insane crit numbers.
>>722443608Its absolutely terrible for any weapon that attacks more than once every 3 seconds. Basically you can use it on some omega charge attacks and not feel terrible. Which is very ironic considering his orbs give you attack speed.
>>722449664>any weapon that attacks more than once every 3 secondssoooo all of them
>>722449463Oh certianly. I did my 32 Fear run a bit earlier than I should have and despite it kicking my ass for like 20 nights, when I finally got it down and went back to 12 Fear everything felt super easy by comparison.>>722449432Really? I think their health is overtuned, but overall the Prometheus fight didn't feel that much more difficult with Herc. He's kinda slow and off doing his own thing most of the time. I just focus on Prometheus like normal while avoiding the big red spinning circles and that's it.Then again, I've gotten so used to fighting Prometheus that I don't have to think too hard while fighting him anymore. He's surprisingly fair once you learn to exploit his moves. I can imagine them being insane on Frenzy though.
WHIRLPOOLSUCKS YOU INNO WAYY OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
>>722449712Basically yes. Its tuned terribly. His flourishes also have lowest % to damage available. You can do so much better than wounds if you need a second curse.
So far I've cleared Chronos with>Daggers>Staff>AxeDaggers was surprisingly easy. I like the Pan aspect the most but if I get straightshot flurry then I'm gonna laugh all the way to the boss.Staff is super easy too, simply take Circe aspect and spam casts. You can even forget your weapon has an attack or special and just spam casts to victory.Axe was take Charon aspect, Lucid gain and spam omega specials with your now infinite MP.Haven't figured out the other weapons yet. I choked hard with skulls even though it's supposed to be the "most overpowered weapon", torches I keep getting hit like an idiot and fists seem like the shittiest weapon of all because the missiles take ten business days to lock on and hit the enemy
How did they make Poseidon the worst god for two games in a row?
>people say medea skull is op>tried several times, every time felt like garbage and couldnt finish the runI feel like im missing something. It requires to always be in the sauce and get hit but damage is ass and skulls drop at first enemy so they don't auto collect. And damage isnt that big so i oneshot everything so whats the point.
>>722449793I focus Heracles first but that's more out of a fear of triggering the second simon says minigame with Heracles still being a bitch and ruining my focus
>>722449905Can you even count it as a curse? It applies for 1 attack right? So wow one attack gets arcana bonus.
>>722450016Spam Attack then Special and do nothing but that.
>>722450016btw your special retrieves shells automatically from far away, even if it hits nothing, you should almost never be actually running to the shells
>>722450016Medea aspect gameplay is attack+special. If you're on a controller then you're meant to quickly roll your finger from attack to special every time you want to attack and that's your entire gameplan.I choked hard with it at Chronos though and my damage wasn't really that impressive so I'm not sold.
>>722450014He is pretty good almost always.For omega cast, for spam attacks.Sea star is always good early on if you don't need core boons and water fitness gives nice HP usually.In the first game he was used for dash mostly, but it was the best offensive dash.I would say skill issue.
>>722450014Isn't Ares the worst god? I don't know what I'd ever want from him. Maybe cut above if I'm spamming omegas?
It's been in Early Access for a long time, lil bro. I already had over 20 hours logged on it before 1.0 and had cleared a lot of the content.
>>722450014ares is the worst in both games, instant reroll/cancel my fates whim if he shows up for any reason
>>722442974Axe was the first weapon I beat Chronos AND Typhon with. You simply don't know how to use it. It is busted as fuck, and it's not even really picky about Daedalus hammers or specific boons like the other weapons can be. Forget trying to use the skull unless you get specific upgrades for it.
>>722443842Bruh, Aspect of Moros on the torches is a free win. It shits so much damage it's unreal.
>>722450461I wouldn't say it's busted, staff feels a lot more overpowered since it deals fast damage from safe distances while axe is a lot slower to deal it. They're both really strong though yeah.
>>722444456Some weapons it's underwelming (skull, staff) some weapons it's absolutely broken (axe, torches)
Do you think they'll ever buff the fists weapon or leave it there as a joke weapon?
>>722450641Axe is fundamentally very strong, high tier weapon, but Aspect of Charon is straight up broken. You get a targeted Cast boon with it and it's a free run. Every time.
where are the clotho lewds
Axe is shit, it's just that omega special is op.
>>722450742Ehhhh, targeted cast with charon? I prefer having the cast at my feet so I can pop it more easily
Axe is good. Not top, but good.
>>722450712It is perfectly fine as is.All you need is Zeus/Hestia/Poseidon on attack and you just dash-strike everything to death.
>>722450862I hate fist attack because it feels too unsafe and the attack on literally every other weapon except skulls feels way better.
>>722450578all the torch aspects are boring and gayespecially the Hidden one. I don't know how "run around your enemies" got through testing
>>722450060I mean, the memory game isn't that hard.First one should be free, it's just 3.Second one is admittedly a bit trickier, but it's not so bad if you just memorize a single safe lane each time. Just think in you head "Top, Mid, Bot" or even repeat it out loud and it will help you memorize it in that instant.Herc's stuff is easy to dodge during the memorizing since you got the whole field to run away from him. If you just sprint in a circle you're mostly fine.
How do I fists? They feel like the worse version of the Sister blades.
>>722450862It's absolutely not fine, it's the worst of all the weapons with not even interesting gimmicks on any aspect, including the hidden being the most lame and gay one of the options. You literally just run away and spam special the entire run if aren't doing dash attack memes where you spam dash attack instead with the hammer.
Anyone got a basic staff build? I only play knives but wanted to branch out
>>722451045>They feel like the worse version of the Sister blades.well duh, fists are male-coded
>>722451045Pan daggers feels like a better version of the fist missiles and it's funny because the tracking on them is faster, more accurate and more damage with the tradeoff that it only works on enemies inside your casts.
Does the Jeweled Pom and the Persephone aspect stack? Could you get boons with a level above 6 potentially if you have both?
opinions on negral?
>>722451065>Anyone got a basic staff build?Circe staffZeus castDemeter gusts on the casts to combine with zeusThen just be yourself and take stuff you like. Ideally find a way to activate origination and take a targeted cast boon like Lightning Lance and you're a god now.
>>722450712What? I love all the forms of Xinth. It's the only weapon that I think has no lame forms. My first Typhon win was with the base form even cause rocket spam can be really OP with the right boons.The alt form gimmicks are also all simple and fun to get into. >Selene's spell is decent when paired with other things for the aforementioned rocket spam>Nyx's magic dash into spamming everything just shits out damage, especially if you get a really good rush boon with it like Heph or Poseidon>Shiva's magic special is nuts with a lot of synergies since it's a big AOE that hits multiple times and the big punch you build up feels great
>>722451186Nergal is incredibly strong and incredibly fun.
>>722450834Targeted cast means you can spam cast + omega special from across the entire boss arena and do absolute fuck loads of damage. Stack boons on cast and special and watch even bosses get chunked.
>>722451060You don't need hammers for dash-strikes, the default dash-strike hits 3 times, with hammer for +3 it becomes 6 times.Spamming rockets is not as fun, for that I try to get hammer that shoot it on attack 25% of the time.
>>722450970Moros aspect lets you literally blow up entire rooms of enemies in seconds.
Rerolling boons? Planning builds? No thanks, I'll take whatever is rarest and brute force each boss, and if that doesn't work I'll try again next time.
>>722451045Damn I was hoping some Black Coat enthusiast would answer but I guess it actually does just suck, lmao.
>>722450016I don't get it either. I'd have to see somebody using it to get how it's supposed to work. The damage just isn't there.
>>722451629I enjoy this playstyle too.>good boons available>still take some shittier rare one because I want the good boons in a higher rarity>sometimes die to this greed>do it again
>>722451223Omega rocket spam feels kinda shitty because the other weapons can do the damage faster without the jank that comes with the lock-on mechanism. I haven't tried Shiva yet but the base 3 are just slower and more dangerous than the other options.Would need to maybe see a clear to get a better idea of how it works but right now I consider it to be the worst weapon currently.
Anybody else feel like the gods are split into primary (Zeus, Poseidon, Aphro, Apollo and Demeter, Hestia) and secondary (Ares, Hephaestus and Hera)?
>>722451529The point is that it has the dumbest, most annoying, braindead gameplay of any weapons, and all 4 aspects do nothing to change this since even the Hidden's gimmick is pretty boring. You can get the exact same gameplay loop of spamming dash attacks out of the axe or spamming special with the staff or dagger.
>>722442953I just hate how fucking long it takes to ramp up on the meta progression content that actually do shitLegit feels like MMO rep/daily grind tier arbitrary
>>722451953But I always quit not long after getting all the metaprogression stuff and doing some successful high difficulty runs, so it seems somewhat important.
>>722451529>GaleIs that little bastard actually worth taking ever?His retaliation passive feels worthless cause almost always it'll get hit off before you get close to the boss cause some tiny shit pinged you for minimal damage. IS he really worth it just for the dodge chance?I basically only ever use Frinos or Toula for the higher Fear runs. Hecuba's cute but the stun seems to be in bad spots most of the time, though the increased magic is good for runs where the boons shaft you on mana regen. And Raki I can see the value of if you're going for big damage and crits (probably the best for DPS if you are confident enough to not need the health or extra Death Defiance).Gale just strikes me as the worst familiar by far.
>>722445656Happened to me too, just didn't spawn.
>>722452117Gale is insanely good for high fear room clearing, because those fuckers wear you down especially if you have frenzy/scars.
Got to the ending today - I definitely see why people dislike it. Doesn't sour my opinion on the whole game too much but it's definitely the weakest ending Supergiant has made, which is disappointing.>>722451045Chain lightning, Hera on attack, and zeus on special has served me well
>>722443608It's +50 power, not +50 damage. Power =/= damage. Power modifies base weapon damage (BWD), which is then multiplied by the boon's damage modifier.Put in math terms, every three seconds your damage is (BWD + Power) x Boon damage. So let's say your attack normally does 100 damage. With the Ares attack boon of 40% enhancement, that is 100 x 1.4 = 140 damage. But with Wounds active, your base damage is now 150, so every three seconds you're doing 150 x 1.4 = 210. Boons that give +Power stack multiplicatively with boons that give %damage. It is always worth taking boons that increase power to atacks / specials if you have a lot of % damage stacked on it. Even if it's only a slight amount of power it causes dramatic increases in damage.
>>722452285Can Ares stack with other attack boons or would the new attack boon replace ares?
I still think (worry?) that they'll fuck around with the story content somehow in a patch not too long from now based on player feedback.
I fixed scars: make it so that the first hit to the enemy after applying the curse has +50 power. The hit also clears the curse, and you cannot re-apply the curse with the same hit.This would give Ares insane combo potential.
>>722452117Gale is very good if you don't need MP from Hecuba or crit chance from Raki.And it saves far more than 40 HP usually.I play without DDs so cat is not an option.
>>722452459*wounds
>>722452285Fuuuck I misread the boon, I'm retarded. Somehow I completely missed that it gives +50 power on boons AND +40% damage to all attacks even if they don't apply wounds.
>>722452371I am not sure about that because a lot of boons seem to "not really count" as an actual attack/special/cast boon. I can have like 3 boons that affect my cast, but my cast is somehow still blank in the sidebar, for example.I think that particular boon does count as an Attack boon, though so you probably wouldn't be able to mix it with another God's %damage boon to damage. But what I've noticed about god boons that fiddle with the basic stats like power is that they tend to have lots of supplementary boons that greatly enhance its effects if you keep stacking boons from that god. Aphrodite is the same way, and she is a contender for strongest boons in the game.
>>722452558And that's not even factoring in Ares' other boons that feed into his Wounds curse.
>>722452285If you have 2x damage then it's worth 100 damage in this example. Easiest to just multiply the power by your damage multiplier to see the difference. Comparatively a base Aphrodite has 1.6x more multiplier on all of its attacks and goes up to 2.4x to Ares 1.5x, plus scales better with Poms. So Aphrodite does a lot more damage than Ares overall. Even an upgraded higher rarity Apollo boon could outperform. Not that you can't use Ares as a main attack, but it's more like Heph in most cases where it's better on an attack you're cycling on cooldown.
>>722444350That fight is a real eyesore.
>>722452872Except wounds cooldown is individual for each monster so it is very good at room clear.
I can never tell if Prometheus is doing the spin kick or the fire wave kick.
>>722453174Except you do about as much damage as Ares does with Wounds all the time. The better cope is effects that increase the power of Wounds like Rallying Cry, Hera has one like that too. The thing that makes Wounds good is the auxiliary effects to increase your DPS while it's applied.
>>722452117Dodge stacking is additive in this game, so getting a decent chunk from Gale for free is great if you can then lean into it, which naturally synergies with the strongest god, Zeus, and getting the Aprhodite infusion.
Man I love Polyphemus(besides his haircut). He and Mel just shit talk each other so much. Also top tier theme.>mfw 5:22https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqng4Szbb2c
>>722453278You just walk away and juke to the side regardless. He's not hard to avoid taking damage from unless you are very bad at memory games.
>>722453360And also there is Daze.
>>722453360I'll add that Gale is especially good for the surface route w/ Circe's two options for bonus dodge (small or +familiar) for potentially insane stacking
>>722453714There's also Warm Breeze, Duo between Apollo and Hestia that restores HP on dodging or an enemy missing from Daze. Insanely strong with enough dodge.
>>722453419>You come into my house, eat my sheep?>Nobody treats me like that.
>>722444753So where's all the mini Melinoe art?
>>722454159Since Typhon canonically shoots the contents of his giant balls onto loliMeli I thought they'd be all over it
Tranny game
>>722454159Right next to my stash of loli fate art
I know Hades 1 got a lot of content updates over it's course, but it didn't get anything major after 1.0, right?Is Hades 2 going to do the same? No major content updates after this 1.0 version? I heard there's only been 2 big content updates in the time leading up to now before.
What is the best Music Maker song for the hub?any why is it Lap of Luxury?

When's the PlayStation release?
>>722454525End of Time for me, can't get enough of that percussion.
>>722453419>is the only memorable track in the game in ur pathI guess we are not getting another great score like in the first three games
>>722454771I think the soundtrack is fantastic. Sightless Shepherd, Necropolis, Olympus Aflame, Wrath of Heavens and (Thrashing) Into Tartarus are my favs. Seems all the best music went to the surface tho. The underground is pretty forgettable for the most part.
>>722454976All the underground music budget went to Scylla.

Tough choiceDo I want Giga Cleaver or Siege Shredder with Charon axe since they're both amazing? Have the thread up so might as well ask for opinions
Askion Kataski!
>>722455603Giga cleaver 100% on Charon, you can spam Q to get two cast hits during one omega special
>>722455603Charon axe? Giga.
>>722455603Assuming you have the mana regen to sustain it, firing twice with Zeus ranged cast to make it instantly appear after the first gets popped seems good, but honestly, I might just take the prophecy progress because it's rare you don't oneshot with the charged + cast combo and against bosses, you shit out damage anyway.
For Prometheus's bullet on the postgame quest, do I just jeep jamming surface runs until I get it?Do I have to do anything like turn off Vow of Rivals?
How do you call women like Eris because that's now the personality I'm searching for
>>722456172Landmines.
axe special isn't good
>>722456292The omega version is good, the basic one is just there to apply an effect or break your main attack combo.
on the topic of axe, what the fuck do you even take on it anyway? Apollo seems like a super easy pick but who else?
>>722455361cute grandpa!!
>>722456490Demeter is good too, Aphrodite works but I find it less good than either of the former, does insane damage but less survivable. Hera can also work since she gives a good multiplier but not ideal.
>>722456490I usually go for Aphrodite if possible, bigger number is better number.
Mel is such a cool character being completely brainwashed by hecate and devoid of any morals that aren't "anything for muh family". Feels a bit wasted on this story.
>>722456637>>722456641What boons do you take from them?
>>722442953I like the game, but I feel like it's too easy (for now at least), in 1 I was only able to kill hades by cycle 10 or something while Theseus kept filtering me occasionally when the pact was high enough
>expect the female protagonist to be some LE STRONG girl boss>ended up being a cutesy girl>the protagonist of hades 1 was more annoying and smug despite the better storywas surprised honestly altho ive played every game from this company so idk
>>722446475Are you stupid? What do you think the gods would fashion us to look like? Jellyfish?
>>722456490I take Hera and Aphrodite, but almost anything works on it if you invest properly. I've done Demeter builds as well.
Story was a bit mid I must say. Feels like it was setting up to realizing the gods are actually cunts and just as much at fault for everything but then 90% of the game's plot threads and characters are rendered irrelevant and it just wraps itself up. Prometheus felt like a nothing character. Fun gameplay but Supergiant used to make very enjoyable stories alongside fun gameplay, and now story is straight up a weak point in their games.
>>722456942Zag is a smarmy dick but he grows on you.
>>722456942Zag was great. What are you talking about?
>>722455603Always prophecy!
>>722457080devs made it extra woke to own the chuds so of course the story is going to be worse
>>722456736With the axe I take pretty much anything Aphrodite has to give really except the special, a source of weak, preferably just by proximity but on cast is fine too, increased damage, increased damage on weak foes, increased power (admitedly less relevant on the axe), dodge, additional curses on weak foes, there's really nothing unwanted in there even though the defensive stuff is obviously less important the better you are.
>>722457080>gamesexcuse you. they blew it out of the park every time until this one.
>>7224569421's story had almost to no stakes, which is its biggest weak point imo.They kept mentioning that a war would happen had they found out about Persephone, but at no point they seemed to care enogh about her, besides Demeter of course
>>722456736You can take almost anything from Aphrodite because her boons are top tier.
>>722457142>>722457183I think its because i just dont like the voice actor too. I think his design is really cool but once i got the first convo with him in the mirror, he talks like some marvel quipped character and it made me realize why he annoyed me in hades 1. I think the newest female protagonist is much more likeable and also cute compared to zag
I only hit the normal ending, so maybe the epilogue covers this, but is the>Chronos is on the side of mortals and maybe justified in thingspoint ever followed up on?Melinoe saying "who cares about the mortals, family is what matters" really felt like it was building up to an actual plot but apparently twenty years in the hyperbolic buckbreak chamber was enough to make Chronos forget about all that.
>>722456942I like the dichotemy of Mel being a total sweetheart with allies and she's but against bosses she's way more fiery than Zag ever was. IN that regard she resembles their dad much more.
>>722444456For Argent skull omega moves is pretty much how you play the game.
>almost every NPC and boss story is about how the gods fucked them over by being cunts>gods are muh family so I support them :)))>the endIs this really it? Even if you finish NPC quests like Echo or Arachne the resolution is just "yeah the gods totally fucked me over but you know what don't worry about it" so Mel doesn't have to feel bad or conflicted over her evil asshole family. What happened to SGG's writing?
>>722457695lmao no, they dropped every fucking plot point and hint that they were building up. It's pretty clear that they either just pushed it out the door or did a massive rewrite and gave up halfway through
>>722442953How much better is it than the first game? I hope at least the weapons are good.
I'm sick of the visual clutter. The enemy shots keep sneaking through the unending cavalcade of fire Melinoe produces.
>retards who didn't get the epilogue in the first game
>prometheus calls melinoe the agent of change>zag actually fixes everything
>>722458756It wasn't worth itDon't remember much, except that it was disappointing
>>722458801There's a reason Chaos calls her boring
If any of you are having trouble beating Typhon, literally just take the selene zombie hex and invest in the infinite duration and damage buffsAs soon as you kill his little eyeball laser minions, you rez one of them and focus on dodging his attacks while your minion is doing 1k damage a second
I didn't believe it when people say the ending sucked, but my god it is awful. How tf did Super Giant write this trash???
how do I unlock hidden aspects?
>>722459289it requires ligma
>>722459334wtf is ligma..? -.-;
i NEED to rim prometheus
>>722459289Raise an aspect other than the basic one to the max, find the right person to talk to and they'll give you a magic phrase.
>>722459289Max any aspect that isn't Mel's
>>722459401ligma balls nigga
>>722459242I thought we were gonna have a twist where Chronos realized he couldn’t win against Mel and Zag, and manipulated the timeline to have them spare him, so he bide his time and figure out his plan bBut no, Zag says fuck it to the plan and a good old fashioned time lobotomy is all it takes
>>722442974Axe might have been the most damage I shit out with the aspect of nergal VoR Typhon didn't stand a chance
>>722459242Even the characters in the story are baffled by how sudden and unsatisfying it is
>>722450089It lingers for 3 seconds.

The Rivals stuff is terrifying compared to Extreme Measures. Those mechanics are fucked up.
*burps* fuck this game lol
>>722459787Okay Dionysus.
>>722450578>>722451573My Omega Special blows up my attacks before they even get where I want them to be
>>722459828then get closer to your enemy? why do you want the game to play itself lol
is dionysus big dicked or did he stuff wool in his swim panties?
>>722459828Then get closer. That's the whole point of the Moros aspect. The explosions will clear the room.
>>722460054massive cock. just huge
>>722459550What's different about them compared to EM?
>>722444941I had the heph/hera boon that makes it so you reduce damage at the cost of MP and the Aries boon that makes it so you absorb plasma automatically and his MP regen. I literally could not die against Vow of Rivals Typhon.

>>722460825Not happening unless you're a blond witch.
>>722460869I am
>>722457695Yes, Fates and fucked off declared an age of mortals and Grandpa Chronos just said it's back like his age.
if i have hep on attack and special, will it blast twice? or is there an internal cooldown?
>>722461189if the cooldown is seperate for each attack might be a cool build to get it on all 4 and rotate all your moves
>>722461336i doubt it is, that would make it really broken and impossible to get the duo boons that make the blasts proc more or quicker
I almost have the nemesis sex scene unlocked but she wants these weird earrings that i haven't seen yet. I still need to get past eris so i'm hoping i get them soon.
>>722454525Reflection Affection is so nice
>>722457695The gods of this setting seem to truly not give a fuck about mortals, so the story ending without any kind of involvement or consideration for them is fitting, if nothing else
>>722461189Each attack has its own cooldown, there's a corresponding bright spot on Mel's body for attack/special/dash when they're ready to go.
still working on getting the typhon/chronos incantation but...do you guys think they will do hades 3? not sure if this formula will work again.maybe if they did other mythologies
>>722461672I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised if they want to keep milking it. If they do make a Hades 3 at least let me kill or beat up all the gods finally
>>722461725same. the perpetual story can only go on for so long. after i finished Hades 1 i stuck around a bit to play around with the weapons but lost interest pretty quickly
i thought the ending was fine, good evenit does feel kinda sudden, but i think the whole point is that it goes against the expected outcome and it fits that zagreus, the one who originally defied his father and went against his wishes to see his mother, is also the same one that decides not to eradicate chronos, unlike how a lot of the other disputes among gods and titans went
>>722461725Hades had a third child, and they even mention Persephone wanting another kid in one of her dialogues with Hades and you, so it's certainly possible. I hope they make the plot less retarded, but keep what they've learned about gameplay
>>722461672Sure hope not, Supergiant is at its best doing original concepts, even if they're goofy like Pyre's. Hope H2 was just a little detour for these bongs.
>>722461672i would like to see something new but on a similar scale to hades. question is what could they do to suffice that isn't a roguelike?
>>722461672Maybe? Someone on behalf of the Titans and mortals who really deserves a chance to fuck up the Gods for their bullshit. Titan Boons could get pretty crazy. Shaman King it up and every boon and weapon is literally some heroic shade or mortal virtue.Chaos wanting to start over.Daedalus finally deciding enough is enough from his automaton fortress hes been prepping forever. The Deus Ex Machina lol.
>>722461725bet cuh! im tryna kill all these mf gods mayne! tired of this shyt cuhthat lil dimepiece melinoe all "umm thanks 4 da boon great auntie hera.." n shyt? fuck dat. fuck dat. u no wat im tryna say 2 dat bitch hera? im tryna say FUCK you. you ain't nuttin but a low bottom bitch. you TRASH, hoe. n dat niqqa zeus? dat niqqa diqq u be takin? he a fucking mark cuh! u hearin me on dis?! i fuck a scallywag hoe before i stick my diqq in u! nasty ass bitch. yea i no u heard me rite. fuck you. u ain't nuttin but a bitch. fuck u. *mic drop*
>>722463421english motherfucker
I managed to clear with the fists for the first timeNot a big fan of them but at least I'm getting better at using these
>>722463421this but unironically
>>722463578They're really, really broken. Combine them with Hephaestus' boons and you've got a Typhon raping machine.
>>722463578can't say i'm a fan of melinoe and selene aspect for them unless there's something i'm missing but nyx is kinda interestingget the faster omega cast arcana, charge into people on cd and then unload with regular attacks or specials depending on which you go
>>722461672SGG can still make a third game since Hades in the myths has a daughter called Makaria.>MAKARIA (Macaria) was the goddess of a "blessed" death, a minion of her father Haides. She was perhaps a more merciful counterpart of the death-god Thanatos or else connected with the passage of souls to the Islands of the Blessed (Nesoi Makarioi).
>>722463767>>722463731I hear the best way to use them is to get Poseidon legendary but I always have shit luck with his boons. Still not a big fan of these though.
>>722463813wow for a grumpy old man Hades fucked a lot
anyone else remember Mel appearing in the mirror in Hades 1? it was a very quick cutscene that was never mentioned again
>>722464292>anyone else remember Mel appearing in the mirror in Hades 1?No. Got a screenshot/video of that?
>>722464369nope, all i remember was looking at the mirror because of the little golden spark thing, she appeared said something then disappeared. Zag was like wtf and it was never mentioned again
im horny. i want to eat scylla's pussy out
The doom keepsake is Soo fucking broken jesas fuck, even if you can't defeat the boss it's 10 seconds where you can just ignore everything and go full attack

>>722464292fake

>>722455361Dude lost all his aura the moment he became good, Hades wasn't this pathetic looking
>>722464792well im not going to restart Hades 1 again to try and get it again
>>722463731I feel like Heph boons damage boons aren't worth it without a lot of investment.
>>722455361Did he buy him a nectar first?
>>722463421LMFAO
>>722464557She has a nice big clam
>>722464909Look at the bright side, if you do get it then you can make a video about it and get tons of views so there's monetary incentive.
>>722442953Maybe if devs didn't get turbo pozz then you would get your comfy thread. Now get what you deserve, there are enough hades clones to last a lifetime and even a few good ones
>>722464957They're good, but you do 100% need either the boon for faster ticking or the duo that instantly procs the stacks for 200% damage.

Holy fuck the Charon axe deals retarded amounts of damage>Throw cast at an enemy>Pop it with omega special>Free origination from range + BIG NUMBERSI have no idea why anyone said axes are bad
>>722467261Because the final win condition is asking Zag to desu Chronos. Since that would delete current Meli and create a paradox, he instead created a new timeline, mindbreaking Chronos into zesty-gramps
>>722467670>use big ass axe>spend the entire time just kitting and throwing the axe from a safe distance
>>722467739Is it throwing the axe? The omega special hits the ground instead and what hits the enemy is the big shockwaves of the attack along with like 4 different curses from cast+special

medea skull is actually the best weapon hands down if you know how to use it correctly
>>722468158Wounds is completely useless besides the one arcana card that buffs you for having curses on enemies and that boon that gives a buff on wounded enemiesBy itself wound is the super useless, pretty similar to hephaestus blast

>>722468316tips and recommended boons? I had good results with aprhodite on attack and special
is it ever explained what the giga weapon they had as a contingency is? i don't think i know enough about greek mythology to know if this is something existing in the mythos or not
Erm ackshully the best weapon is staff because the only max fear clear right now is with staff
>>722468389Zeus should always be on special. Ares on attack usually but Aphrodite works just as well if not better. Hera boons so you can eventually get their duo King's Ransom that boosts Zeus boons even higher. Get the hammer upgrade called Possessed Array that activates your omega attack when you retrieve the shells.
So what is hera gimmick in this game? just being a support for other gods?
>>722468803Hitch is a genuinely good damage bonus
Tula too stronk
guys i kind of really fucking hate vow polyphemus
>>722468404Yes: Heph had build some sort of experimental mega bomb in his workshop, but setting it off would also nuke Olympus
>>722468873Isn't it just a worse Apollo boon on attack/special unless there are multiples enemies? And most bosses are single enemies most of the time so it doesn't even do anything
So the only thing needed to kill Typhon was smack it with a spear? Why was Olympus so afraid of this guy?
>>722469062Unless you've got a really wide-range attack/special those are a waste, sure.But the dash and cast are great. Run a loop around the room then slap one guy and everyone explodes, great fun.
>>722469062Excels at high heat when you have at least +40% enemies, and still has some level of +%damage for bosses. Still good against minibosses too since you probably have a phantom + whatever natural adds.
>>722469062It's better as you get to higher difficulties and suddenly bosses have a ton of adds or other things to link to.
>>722468316I can't wrap my brain around Attack being ranged and Special being melee because I'm retarded.
is it just me or is vow eris like way easier than her normal form
>>722469706once you learn to drop the AoEs out of the way, way easier. Sweeping fire is nothingburger vs being locked onto

How do I beat Eris?
>>722470230Hit her until she dies
>>722469635the only thing you need to do is slide your thumb from attack to special in one move.
>>722443976It's spelled Σκύλλα in Greek, with a kappa, so yeah it's like SKIL-la. I think it's common for the C not to be pronounced in English but it's not actually correct. If you don't care then say it how you want but since you're asking I think that means you want to say it right.
>>722470230Her arena is just too big and at that point you have too many good boons (hopefully)Literally just dodge her bombs and hit her until she dies
>>722470230She is incapable of hurting you if you're behind her.
>>722470314That's not actually the hard part. The hard part is that she hits me until I die. How to avoid that?
>>722470782Simply don't get hit
>>722470230everything except the big aoe bombs can be dodged by just dashing behind her if you see her start doing anything
>>722470763>>722470826I'll try making this the main strategy next time then, thanks. I beat her at least a couple times in EA last year but I've gotten my shit pushed here recently.
>>722463767>>722463870Starfall is godsent with Ares. Start region 1 with Ares keepsake, region 2 Poseidon for free omega specials (or vice versa), then Selene R3 to max out the hex tree ASAP.

>>722471934>like how i had to be told by some guy here that maxing melinoe's aspect no longer works for getting hidden aspectswhat the fuck it doesn't? I was leveling up the melinoe fists in hopes of getting shiva
>>722471989yep it has to be one of the ones you upgrade with nightmare. i maxed melinoe's aspect on every weapon because i didnt feel like learning different meme gimmicks yet, imagine my seethe
>>722471194Ares is good for burst room clear and his curse is good for easily activating Origination. His dash is also free incidental DPS.For Selene charge special spam specifically, Cut Above is free DPS since your rockets can go wide put the sword on several enemies at once.
>>722472080What boons do you take for burst room clear? Or what weapons are good with ares?
>>722470782Keep your distance til you get comfortable with her attack patterns. Especially keep your distance after she gets the damage buff or she will shred your HP very fast. Eris has two main openings, the first is when she uses her dashing attack where she fires to the sides, and the second is when the rail jams and she has to fiddle with it. There's other opportunities to attack her but you have to have a good feel for her timings to exploit them. Til you have those down, these are your safest openings.
>>722456654wait until you find out that hecate is melinoe
>>722472449>Keep your distance til you get comfortable with her attack patterns.Wrong. She tracks faster then you can run if you're not at point blank and it puts you right in the path of harm for her dash attack. It is far easier to stick to her ass and sprint ontop of her every time she flies away and lands somewhere else. Even the sniper move that tracks the fastest can be dodged by literally just sprinting in a circle around the bitch
>>722472692That is how you reliably beat Eris once you're experienced with her attack patterns. If you try that when you've only fought her a couple times she will kill you very fast. You don't know her timings or her patterns, you will get shot to pieces.
>>722472908The only instant move she has that doesn't have giant fucking "don't stand here retard" glowing red zones is her dash attack, which is avoidable by staying on her ass constantly. If you try to stay at range, you will get gaped by all of her cross screen attacks that now you have to perfectly dodge because they are now capable of tracking you because Eris' angular speed can keep up with your sprint if you're far away, and you well get further punished by her misleading shotgun attack which goes way beyond it's indicator. If you stay on her ass and don't press attack buttons which lock you in place until you see her commit to an attack, she is literally incapable of hurting you.
>>722442953We had our comfy threads every patch since EA. That's the nature of it. They added like 10% more content since last patch and its all story stuff so half of us don't care.
>>722444297How is Charon still meta? They nerfed all of the big boom casts like poseidon so what cast can you even pick for it to feel good? It used to be insanely broken but now the dps can't surpass torches or staff and it takes more setup too. I don't really think Charon is s tier anymore
>>722473456Apollo cast heroic is 200 damage base when it pops, so that one and he's also who you want for the mana regen
>>722443176Aside from being objectively worse in most ways, not much difference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP8A58023ZUI'm sold, I guess I'll try to unlock Nergal next.Should I level Thanatos or Charon for it? Who benefits more from levels?
>>722473498Makes sense but that's what I hate about that weapon you essentially have one choice now. At least you had poseidon and when it worked so you could stack a lot of casts for a patch or so it was nutty fun.
>>722473456>Nerfed all the big boom casts>The double cast stick is still SS tier metaDamn, that must have been some disgusting numbers then
>>722442953>Silksong getting forced shill threads 24/7 for 2 weeksFTFY
>>722473603Thantos is if you are a melee enjoyer but suffering, Charon if you enjoy watching things explode from a safe distance
>>722473597both are great, it's just different playstyles, levels are also important on both
>>722473776>>722473784What exactly levels up with Charon? The cast damage or the big boom special damage?
>>722443176All of this dev's games are the literal same exact game and artstyle copy and pasted, it's insane how long people have supported this grift.
>>722473839it enhances you cast damage and size when you blow it up
>>722472174Wounds adds a flat burst of damage when it's applied and reapplied. I like it on weapons that cycle attacks and specials like Morrigan aspect and the skull in general.Also fine for Circe, just stick it on the special and reapply apply Wounds to keep Origination up as needed as you spam casts. The blade rift on on charge cast is also another effect to stack on casts builds, which applies to Charon too.
>>722473956I assumed the blade rift would stop if you detonated the cast with Charon, and I'm also not wanting to channel an Omega cast if I don't have. Seems way worse then just getting Gale on your cast.
when the fuck do you unlock aspects or whatever that is
>>722473887That's not true, they made Transistor which plays somewhat differently and is also their best game by a margin.
>>722442974I've used Axe of Melinoe on most of my runs and have beated both Typhon and Chronos with it. Why is it considered bad? It's just big meaty damage, the most brain dead easy to play weapon.Only weapon to me that seems outright bad is the jetpack/fists.
>YES Haha
so why do these bums like artemis, athena, or nemesis never help you on bosses and only on random trash mobs?
>>722474113Check the well. I'm not 100% sure but I think you need to take a second trip to the surface to unlock some SPOILERS before it shows up as an option in the well.
>>722474292Artemis' burst critical damage used to one shot whatever boss in 1 so they nerfed her a lot.
>>722467261>master plan for revenge eons in the making>curbstomp olympus to the point of them having to hide out in their palace>grandchildren use time travel to buck break you into a effeminate passive timeline jannieJust fuck my shit up senpai
>heracles fucking your shit up while you try to memorize Prometheus fire attack pattern
>>722474083Blade rifts aren't in the cast slot. They're a passive, pretty sure they all stack. I don't play with Charon much, but I know rifts last after the cast expires, works well with Winner's Circle.
>>722475192Yea, they only work on Omega casts which is why they're not in the cast slot, but the wording made it sound like they'd stop when the cast stops. If Winner's works with it, though, I assume it'd also work on Charon which does seem funny
god dark side is so fucking weak
>>722474224Slow and melee is a bad combination, because it's much easier to fix damage with boons then it is survivability
aspect of hel any gud my niggas?
i kinda like zesty buckbroken kronos nglhes just doing his best to be a good grandpa
best boons for pan? setting this up so far doesn't feel worth it
>>722475420Scorch on special, a ranged cast, then either freeze procing scorch or faster scorch ticks
>>722475420Hestia or Zeus on special plus either ranged cast., Poseidon in the magick slot for free specials, any cast with a different curse.
>>722475420used to be really good with poseidon, i think it still is but they nerfed it a bunch
i just had lesbian sex with the angry giantess
I just beat 32 heat first try with a cheese strat>Only first level of Rivals, rivals bosses are too annoying to deal with>No time limit>Unseen Arcana equipped to be able to spam omegas from early in the run>Circe Staff for overpowered double castBasically just take every cast boon you find. Since you don't have a time limit you can just run around taking as much time as you need per run using omega casts to clear out the hordes of enemies, it works really well. Shame you don't even get an achivement for doing it though, which is weird
>>722450334I like ares' mana gain boon coupled with some other plasma synergies. blood spree is a ton of free healing too if you play it right. but yeah his cast/special boons are meh, attack boon is okay-ish.
>trying to check off legendary boons>equip the god's keepsake>get my starting boon>literally don't see a single other boon from that god for the rest of the entire runi guess ill just go fucking fuck myself and die in a fucking gutter where i clearly fucking belong
>>722475747Is that a hammer that makes the daggers homing?
boon is a funny word it sounds like boob lol
>>722476345That's what Pan does in making them home on enemies in the cast, the hammer is that it's shooting a billion of them radially
your specials have +15 power or your specials deal 15% more damage, which one is better?
>>722476669Does your special deal more then 100 damage currently, anon?
>>722476748Well, the base damage has to be above it, so you'd have to divide by your damage multipliers first.
>>722442953I‘m willing to give this game an honest go but my god does it feel terrible to play compared to the first game. When you had 2 dashes you could dash in, do damage and then dash out. With only 1 dash you have to awkwardly run up to enemies, hit them and then dash out. This slower pace feels so clunky to me. Do i just drop it or does it get better?
Has Supergiant commented on if they're going to do any further major updates to the game?Was thinking it seems odd that all the Hidden Aspects are tied to death/underworld gods, and their Prophecies are all to take them to the underworld.Do you think they'd eventually release an update where they add a second Hidden Aspect to all the weapons to tie into the Surface/Heavens? Everything else in the game is kinda doubled, so it feels like it'd make sense for them to double the Hidden Aspects. Or could just be copium wanting more content.
>>722476748how do you tell how much damage it does
>>722476914I got the game during early access and when i launched it in 1.0 i got a message basically saying that it‘s the last update
>>722476974Yeah, sounds about right, Hades didn't really get many updates from my memory.
>>722476914>>722476974game still feels like it could use another update
>>722477014Hades didn‘t get anything other than balance changes and bug fixes after 1.0
>>722476819It doesn't make any difference to me what you do.
>>722476974>>722477014Dang. I knew Hades 1 didn't get any major updates after 1.0, but with how Hades 2 seemed to get to 1.0 with less big updates, I thought it'd have more planned.Oh well, still plenty of content and fun enough. Just was thinking it'd be nice to have even more.
>>722477026Game feels like it could use the ending being massively reworked instead of the placeholder bullshit they pulled, but I doubt it's happening. At least the gameplay is solid.>>722476819It's much less a game about spending the entire time in i-frames through dashes and instead more of an emphasis on positioning, crowd control, and ranged combat with melee being very high risk for middling rewards. If that's not your jam, that's fine, but the game feels really fucking good once you start to understand it.
>>722476967you hit skelly or just look at the wiki
>>722477139>ranged combat with melee being very high risk for middling rewardsThat‘s probably it. I much preferred melee combat in hades. Also the charge attacks feel like ass
Everyone on reddit is convinced they had a different ending in mind that they retconned internally and then rushed out this ending instead. What does /v/ think?
>>722477238They were just looking for a story excuse for the gameplay to keep looping and they chose some low-hanging fruit. Not unexpected from a sequel which is inherently trying to capitalize on the success of a previous product.
>>722477221Magic on a lot of the base weapons feels pretty ass until you get used to it. I was the same way, wanting to just mash through things.If you get to the other Aspects, it helps really make all that feel more fun and engaging. Momus was the one that taught me how to really enjoy the Staff's magic for example, since it's whole gimmick is that your spells cast with it become turrets that keep casting that spell periodically. That got me thinking a lot more about how much that shit can clear out when aimed well.
>>722477238It's obvious that's what happened. You have a billion plot points about how the gods are dicks, every human you interact with is one who got screwed by the gods, Nem even directly says the gods are getting what they deserve at some point, for some reason fucking Hypno is at our camp the entire time but won't wake up, and then they drop all of it and just took a cop out ending. My best guess is that they were going to lock Chronos and Typhos in an eternal nightmare as punishment for swinging the pendulum too far back on the gods and you'd continue runs after the story ends by going into the nightmares to torment them further, but pussied out or something.
I'm about to fight rival typhon, is this going to be KINO?
>>722477238They were forced to come up with some reason to keep the game infinite like the first one, so from the beginning there was no chance of a decisive outcome. I don't think it was sudden rewrite though since the Hypnos gag mirrors the ending too perfectly to be a coincidence.
>>722477238We talking about the main story ending or the epilogue?I'm still in the post-game working towards clearing things and the epilogue, so I don't know about that later stuff. But the main story ending was fine IMO. Very in character for Zag and the resulting situation is a bit of a cop-out but at least gives SOME kind of reason for the gameplay loop to continue.My only real complaint is I wish Olympus and the House of Hades weren't locked away after clearing the main story. I wanted to see more fun interactions there, even if it was like an optional choice between doing that or just doing the quick way back like they went with.
So can you wake up hypno? what is even the fucking point? I got a dream sequence and that's it?
>>722477505Yes.But do try to get to the end with at least one (hopefully more) Death Defiances available. You're going to need them.
So uh Mel is a god of what exactly? Autistic determination? Zag is blood And not rebirth for some fucking reason. He is a son of life and death come on!
>>722477689ngl it was kinda kino but looks like a complete chore on replays
>>722449883For me it’s bewitching eyes.Too bad Jetty never makes it to the solo
Are any of the hidden aspect top tier?
Thoughts on final epilogue spoiler?
>>722478004Staff is really good but doesn't beat Circe, Axe is maximum fun but doesn't beat Charon, Skull is really good but doesn't beat Suicide Bomber, Torch is an interesting gimmick but doesn't beat Moros, Dagger might be the best because it's so much fucking free damage, and Arms are all terrible so it's whatever.
>>722477562red herring or dropped content, the hypno storyline goes nowhere and is treated as a joke
>>722478141is Shiva ass? zamn...
>>722478141>MorosIs good? News for me. How do you play it?
>>722478016Makes the ending even more retarded, makes no sense, feels like just "lol wouldnt it be funny if it was like that?" rather than some actual plot point.
>>722478141>staff doesnt beat circecharged attack shits out so much damage with barely any requirement for positioning its unreal. Though i guess i never understood Circe, i thought it was just alright.
>>722478470You charge the omega special, and then hold m1 while things are at the orbit distance and simply explode because they're essentially taking 260% of your attack damage. Get Cardio for mana regen since you will be a mana thirsty bitch, Zeus or Hestia on attack, and then everything else is a free space because you just shit out damage.
IS MY GOAT ZAG STILL STRONGER THAN BITCH MEL?
>>722478016Didn‘t play hades 2. What‘s the crazy reveal here? Melineos parents gave her to hekate to protect her from chronos?
>>722478601Anubis is interesting because you get non-cast abilities on a cast style effect, but the animation for it dropping is way longer then a cast which makes you more vulnerable since it also doesn't stop them from walking at you, while Circe is more or less double damage on all your cast effects which is both insane damage and also means you don't need that many boons to deal damage and can invest in health and survivability. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love the Anubis staff because chain lighting on it is the funniest thing, but Circe is S tier
>>722478780Hecate is Melinoe
>>722478780Look at her eyes, doofus.
>>722478879Ohh
default fists fucking suck FUCK
>>722479318they all do
>>722479318>>722479625>/v/ suddenly hates the gundam suitwhat happened
>>722446219Literally canon m8. Greek gods are much closer to us than most mythological beings. He was a cripple in mythology. Pic related is from an ancient Greek vase.
>>722442974Axe was my favorite until I unlocked the fists.
goodbye friends its been real
>>722478656>m1Wtf is m1?
we return to the void
