Hades is GOTY

Not even trolling

I simped for Aphrodite and I didn't realize shes not romancible! I fell for the oldest trick in the Ancient Greek book!

Demeter, who comes with her own version of doom and hangover

How good is Athena? Her boons I mean.

Currently trying to get to the epilogue, just about 30 runs total so far. Zeus Ares and Artemis are my go-tos for good boons, Zeus for clearing out groups and Ares/Artemis for high single target damage, but honestly you can most of the time accidentally find a good combo of boons that compliment your weapon. The shield is god like with Zeus, up close weapons work well with Aphrodite and Demeter and Poseidon's boons are actually really useful since his boons can do immense wall damage.

Best boon/weapon combo is gun with zeus attack. Shit will carry a run.

I always try to go for her dash deflect, and some of her boons work well in cases like with the bow and its spread shot can make projectile based encounters a breeze. Her damage reduction boons are good too

Probably the most fun ive had is the demeter cast on cd with chaos buffs increasing the number of casts

I've escaped once with some lucky gun boons, but I think shit will be easier now that I have the aspect for the bow that makes you special home in on the person you last hit. The duo boss fight still fucks me though, and I don't see myself beating them with the shield.

>Lame Hephaestus, ever since splitting Zeus’s head and thereby helping bring Athena into the world, had developed a strong passion for the goddess. One day, unable to control his lust, he tracked her down to some corner of high Olympus and tried to force himself on her. Alas, in his excitement he succeeded only in spilling his seed on her thigh. Athena, in silent disgust, removed her headband and used it to wipe up the mess before throwing it down the mountain.
hot

best dash and best call

Is this guy lowkey dissing you or is he just completely oblivious to how insensitive his remarks are?

How do I do high heat runs without Athena's Dash deflect?

I can't fucking do it. I get to the Minotaur and shield guy and die or I make it past them with lucky boons and then die in the next area.

Is there a good strategy to win? I use the shield.

She's married you silly billy

>mfw trying to get these last few prophecies
RNG being a FUCKING BITCH

I feel naked without dash reflect. I feel like every load-out is exponentially better if I get it.

>Nigger ooga booga Athena
No thanks

I guess grinding up a few extra levels on the mirror and weapon upgrades is the obvious answer.

he's permanently half asleep, cut him some slack

Get 200-300 hp
Get boons that boost a specific move of shield you're going to spam, I suggest dash strike.
Get Athena's dash boon, makes you deflect when dashing.
Get as many death defiance you can from the mirror.
Get as many boons that deal damage while you just spam Dash strike. Like Zeus's thunder, and things that boost his thunder effects.

is there a reason to go for the 32 heat statue?

Never stay in one place for long. Keep your distance from the minotaur and dash through pillars when he starts chasing you to have him crash into them.

Why is Charon stronger than Hades?

The only way to fight these two reliable with melee moves is to spam dash. So if you're using shield and you're not spamming special makes sure you have a lot of boons empowering your dashes.

Matter of pride I guess. There aren't any huge rewards to it beyond an extra conversation with Skelly and a Steam achievement.

Quick question, I've gotten up to the third area but I haven't seen Hephaestus yet. Is he in the game?

I like Demeter. Her dash is good, cast speaks for itself and chills is good in general.

150 runs. Did Olimpian party seemingly 10 runs ago.
Best god depends on your playstyle and weapon.

Why is she black? Fucking sjws!

Poseidon
God mode

If you're not critting, you're not winning

>that 300% special attack increase for Exagryph upgrade
Shit is fucking cash, I'm starting to really like that weapon. I'm still absolute shit with Malphon though, the magnet aspect thing has made things a bit more fun but I feel like I put myself in harm's way with it more than anything else.

Secret boss that gives a huge bonus if you beat him towards beating hades.
Whereas hades is a final exam.
On the other hand EM4 hades is pretty strong.

I'm playing on Hellmode with all the heat except the shitty time limit on a new save. I just wanna hear more fucking dialogue that I missed, this game just has too fucking many for my OCD.

>50 runs
>6 clears
>highest heat is 3, haven't been able to clear with Malphon or Varatha
How do I git gud?

I used to hate the gun until I saw some of the Daedalus upgrades that basically triple your output. The difference is night and day with them.

no. aphrodite mentions him (her husband) offhand in a dialogue, but that's about it i think.

nah
demeter cast, and then honestly either poseidon+zeus for everything else (possibly with that sweet duo boon) or dionysus+aphrodite for the bonus status effect damage

I can pretty reliably get those set up. So long as I have demeter's cast it's a guaranteed good run

fucking GAY
Hephaestus is the best greek god

I wish there were more chats with Tisiphone. The impromptu speaking lessons with Zagreus were my favorite boss exchange.

anyone else not get the codex thing for a long ass time?

>tell me which Olympic resident gives the best boons
depends on your weapon & aspect.
the build I do best with is Poseidon Sword with Poseidon Shot. then I try to get a bunch of Poseidon and Artemis boons.

he'd be nice for fire boons considering there aren't any in the game

theres enough rng in the without damage being rng

what's the best weapon? I've been using the shield bc it can block, haven't tried any of the others.

>best cast
Zeus
>best attack
Aphrodite or Demeter
>best dash
Athena
>best Call
Honestly the only one I don't really like is Ares

>best boons
broke
>best poons
woke

Chiron is easy mode bow, Eris is the best gun, Achilles is the best spear. Excalibur is a meme but pretty powerful.

Personal opinion, it goes like: Rama >>> Beowulf > anything else.

>when you first realized Excalibur disables traps
