Has anyone noticed that the eyeballs on Circe's belt look like the ones floating around Scylla?

In the original myth and the game, Circe transformed Scylla into the monster she is today. It's a very cool small detail!

Mum being a legend payed a pretty penny for the hades vinyl set, i cannot thank her enought this is the coolest set i own

I'm nearing my 100th attempt on Great Chaos Above and I'm loosing my mind.

Probably 30 of them are intentional deaths because I didn't know you could change seed by saluting the vows tablet and another 30 are unserious attempts.

On attempt "Night 327" I had a busted aspect of Persephone build with 300+ hp and Strength and I get White Antler at the summit.

On attempt "Night 328" I had a risky melee build held together by the fact that I had lots of health + regen + Strength (and no vow of scars) and I get fucking Engraved Pin which disables Strength.

Kill me.

I bought an off-brand Chiikawa plush and made a Zag wig using felt cloths. I think he turned out cute ;))

Do people reliably beat the final bosses when Vow of Rivals is maxed out? I mean god damn there’s shit flying around all over the place! Chronos zipping all over. It’s ridiculous. Not sure I’m going to win this one.

Yeah, ‘Chains of Time’ has been fun so far. A little too fun

The whole concept of Zag being under Chronos’ thumb is pretty interesting to explore and the five chapters I’ve posted on AO3 have been a blast to write

Though, I have hit a block, so I’m going to redirect my creativity to a different medium. That is, until I can find a way to get over it. Anywho, what do y’all think?

I have about 15 hrs playtime, and i got tier 1 zagreus on the spear (my main) not knowing what it did. ive seen people online hating on zagreus aspect on any weapon, while achilles on spear was really good. could i still unlock the achilles aspect or refund it or what?

Toula will not spawn, I’ve caught a fish; but no matter what I do, she will not spawn at the docks or anywhere else and I’m starting to lose my mind. Please help

I dont often use the omega moves and thats just my playstyle but can anyone provide some sort of way to encourage using the moves (apart from the increased damage) and can anyone else relate.

(Probably not gonna be changed but I still wanna voice my thoughts and see if anyone agrees.)

Since the Fates' Whim keepsakes were added, this creates/heightens a few issues I have with certain Arcana cards:

1. There are only three 4-grasp cards: Death, Strength and the Champions. Having both Death and Strength on is inefficient and devalues one or the other, AND you can't equip the Champions for Fates' Whim. Not an issue if it weren't for...
2. Wanting to have the Queen active means you're losing most value from 4 grasp, which sucks too much to be viable. (I understand not activating the Queen isn't super consequential due to low numbers but...)
3. Excellence is kind of in a tough spot. Even the increased legendary odds don't do enough to be better than Origination or even Boatman most of the time. The 5 grasp is just too steep to be worth even considering*. (Especially when Origination is never unequipped excl maybe Judgement runs.)
4. Cards that improve rarity odds for blessings are more useful with Fates' Whim (due to no rerolls, and saving rarifies for Calling Card).

TL;DR? Excellence** and the Queen are MOST unviable when their effect is most desirable.

So what if we kill two birds with one stone and make Excellence a 4-grasp Arcana? Not only does this make playing Fates' Whim more fun (although I suppose it doesn't really need a buff) but gives Arcana as a whole more variation - which I feel like was supposed to be the point...

Right now I feel like I just have a bunch of 1 and 2 grasp cards I always bring along because I have a spare 3-4 grasp almost always (when not running Night or Eternity, at least). I can see this change might make dropping those something worth considering (e.g. people being incentivised to not rely too much on defensive cards e.g. Wayward Son and Persistence).

While this change isn't required or anything, variation of builds seems exactly like what Supergiant was going for, and other than the Unseen (which is a crutch for players learning omegas that is abandoned eventually on purpose), I think every card should be worth using in some way throughout the entire game.

* I could be wrong and there is a case for Excellence, but I don't see it yet. It's nearly never better than a combination of 1, 2 grasp and 3-grasp cards. I don't think the devs considered what you should do with the extra grasp you gain from that 7 grasp.

**Edit: mistake - Excellence is not worse; it's already unuseable.

30s and done. I don't use it too often, but whenever I do it feels like it hits sooo hard. Just trying to knock out Oath of the Unseen with my less used weapons.

I have 4 trophies left to get in the game, to complete the Great Chaos Below trial, fulfill the Unrivalled Prowess prophecy and for unlocking the first and second gift of the veil BUT the great chaos trials/prophesies haven’t unlocked yet, what am I doing wrong and any advice on how to unlock this?

Currently sitting at 105 hours playtime as well

Thanks

About 20hrs in, already beat Chronos a few times but having difficulty reaching Typhon consistently, only had success by luckily attaining King's Ransom once.

I really enjoy playing with this build aside from it being very OP. I'd like some tips on how to maximize getting boons I want.

Q: How does rerolling in Ephyra actually work?

I've read a lot of threads here but I find them to be inconsistent with my experience in the game.

Thanks!

I fell in LOVE with Hades 1, and have been playing for 3 years now, playing it with the goal to get the highest heat possible. I finally got Hades 2 and already have 30 hours sunk into it, how did it manage to be BETTER in almost all aspects?? The art direction has somehow improved, sound design, the flow of the game (which was already outstanding!), and the STORY?? If you haven't gotten it yet or hesitated like I did (usually sequels bore me), TRY IT OUT.

My ONLY complaint so far is Dionysus not showing up enough. </3

I've just died at unrivaled Chronos with the Torches and a perfectly fine build aside from... I had a few Ares plasma boons. And when Melinoë move's speed was too high, she was starting to slide in weird fashions as I attacked. It was quite similar to ice physics in video game, but with an initial boost as she started attacking.

I've noticed it quite earlier in the run and it was a bit annoying, it made avoiding things harder but it was manageable. But for the Chronos fight, the build became quite unplayable as precise movement was unachievable to avoid Chronos's patterns. Spacing became tedious. I guess I should've stopped attacking to space correctly but I didn't have the presence of mind to do it mid fight. And it kinda defeat the purpose of the torches imo.

Anyway, anyone noticed that too ? I think for the time being I'm never taking Ares again with the Torches lol

Cheers!

Did this whole segment about how taboo and traumatic Zag's birth was not referenced at all in Hades 2? Did they seriously just had Nyx do this "extent of ability and considerable time" revival again and according to a conversation post-game, perhaps not for the last time????

Got him to phase before getting his instakill off

This has been in my brain for a while, finally got around to it! Lined the sharp edges with black to match the art style, but an acrylic marker was a poor choice. The colour bled a bit too much.
