Hades (PC/NSW) | PlayStation & Xbox Editions (PS5/XSX/PS4/XB1) - August 13, 2021

Switch version "only" goes up to 60 fps and has some frame drops, and you can play kb/m on PC if you want, tho I'd say it's definitely made for controller play

Ty! I’ll go switch since it’d be cool to play this when/if I ever leave my house

Switch very rarely has frame drops unless you have dozens of mobs throwing dozens of orbs at you. I can say with confidence that 99% of the time its a steady 60

4 of 5 weapons done, just need to beat it with the Rail. Are the hidden aspects any good or are they all extra challenge things? I have the spear one and it's not fun so far.

Spear one is absolute trash.

Sword/Bow aren't really anything special to write home about, just changeup to the playstyle. The swords 4th aspect is really cool to play, just not necessarily a major improvement over what's already there. Same with bow.

Shield/Fists/Rail are fucking amazing and probably the best aspects for the respective weapons.

[Eragon]

I think I read they are adding cross save/progression, it just wasn't ready in time for launch.

[Zealot]

Destroyed the boss with the Rail, one of my best runs ever. Amazing how some boons can make the game easy.

Unlocked the Nyx/Chaos quest, not looking forward to gathering all this Darkness.

I still haven't unlocked that despite both of them being at max Nectar. How much darkness is it

[Zealot]

Well the first part is 3000+ but I'm given to understand there's more needed to complete it.

Goddamn maybe I should start hoarding now

[Zealot]

6 clears now, all 5 weapons and then one with the Sword's hidden aspect. Cleared 3 right in a row and then of course on my next attempt I get completely wiped out by Theseus.

[Salodin]

I still haven't gotten a second win and 99% done with this mirror...

Maybe I need to play slower or something wtf...

How many attempts in are you? And what's killing you the most?

PS. Zealot, there's 6 weapons

[Tyrath]

In other news, Blizzard shot may be one of the most OP boons I've seen. It's a duo between poseidon and demeter. You just fire off casts and things die in an AOE.

I'm 50+ runs in, over 7k darkness. I've started mixing up the weapons based on dark thirst cause I've gotten to hades on em all I just can't seal the deal. Ive been skipping polearm tho cause that's my only win. I had a good bow one going, but I got unlucky by reaching the elysium boss with no hp.

I started this the other day and got through Elysium once.

Which trinket do you guys normally use for each chamber? I capped out the Skelly one because I got it first and didn't think about changing them for a while.

[Krandor]

What I usually do is...

I use the hypnos one at the start for 150 extra coin.

For the next two levels I usually use whatever one aligns with the god whose boon I want.

Final level I'll change it up to whatever works best for how my build is going (Orpheus Distant Memory for ranged weapons, Nyx Black Shawl for melee, probably Cerberus Spiked collar if I have the Cursed Sword buff, stuff like that)

[Elcura]

If you're bad at chapter 3 (or just using a weapon you aren't good at) it's worth looking at harpy feather duster.

Chapter 4 you can also try the tooth (extra defiance) or the one that gives you 1.5 secs of invuln when you get hit (great for poison and some of the last boss attacks). If I have a weakness build I also look at archilles -30% damage taken from front.

[Eragon]

I use the flower that levels up a random boon every few encounters, then I switch to Skelly for the last zone/boss.

Damn yo, I got my 10th win on the 49th run

Have you tried abusing death defiance? I found even if you get rekt a bit you can get wins if you have extra lives. Can have up to 4 with skelly's trinket. Patroclus also helps refresh yours in Elysium if you use them before then.

[Salodin]

I haven't used the skele item, but I already use the one death per chamber upgrade. I really felt like I had a win on this bow but I didn't let myself die in the encounter before the boss in elysium and that honestly fucked me showing up with 8hp
