I havent died since I cleared 0 heat. I'm at 3 heat now and it's not really getting harder, there are enough low impact ways to add heat that I imagine I won't really start feeling it until ~8 or so. I've been trying a lot of different ones out and the only thing that really seemed like a huge step up from 0 heat was the elite barge with Middle Management active. Holy crap the chiron bow was not the right weapon there.

How are yall getting such fast clears? Granted I'm just starting to get full clears but even then my runs are looking more like 30 minutes than 6 or 7 or whatever.

Finishing the whole game in 10 minutes has apparently been done (by much better players than I) but it requires a lot of things to go right.

I can't imagine doing the timed stuff once you are running higher heat values since they make standard encounters take a lot longer. What happens if you don't clear the level in time? do you just explode?

You can just run around and just do special + cast with a chaos boon like that, the bows special is a better primary attack than the regular attack when you get up close and hit all the arrows on a target

I'm trying the Chiron Aspect of the bow for the first time and I like it quite a bit, the Special damage is legit especially with the +4 Special Arrows Daedalus upgrade.

Hmm, been looking at this game for a few weeks now. Wonder if it will ever likely come to Switch? (I know, way too early to know) Two of Three of Supergiant's last games ended up there, so I guess it's very possible.

It would be a bit difficult since the special aiming is cursor dependent not simply directionally dependent. Not impossible but possibly clumsy.

The game plays great with a controller on PC, I don't see why they wouldn't port it (once it's done).

The title screen currently recommends you play with a controller, actually, so a console port seems pretty likely once the game is done, I think.

I have to admit I sometimes get real frustrated trying to dash across terrain on keyboard just because some of the dashes don't match well with the angles you're forced to look at. But apparently you can't aim the railguns special on controller so fuuuuuuck that Sex Tragedy posted:wrong thread? now we wanna know what game you were talking about An old Jurassic Park game, nothing special. I was commenting in the AGDQ thread and hit the wrong tab.

The only issues with a controller are the aim assist. It's normally great, but in certain fights it might not target the things you need: in the Hydra fight it targets the random mines, in the Elysium fights with respawners it might frustrate you trying to hit the "eggs" in time, and it doesn't matter much because the first floor is so easy but it's sometimes hard to target the skull spawners over the skulls.

The game starts feeling a lot easier once the mirror and trinket upgrades start rolling in. Always being able to get a god you want for a particular build makes a big difference. Sword and Rail still feel like crappy weapons to me. Sword I can only get clears using Poseidon as a cast build and Rail just feels like begging for the right Hammer upgrades. Anybody have any hints about being more consistent with those two? I just can't get the hang of always being in melee for the sword and not being able to stun lock for the rail.

You can turn that off tho, in the options. I have no idea how much harder it gets without it, since I personally think it's more often helpful than detrimental but the option is definitely there.

WarpedLichen posted:Anybody have any hints about being more consistent with those two? I just can't get the hang of always being in melee for the sword and not being able to stun lock for the rail. Railgun is really simple and just comes down to how good you are at dodging. The weapon itself is brainless so you just need to be mindful of every enemies movement and attack options, more so than with other weapons since you can't stun them. Its tempting to just wanna stand still and unload but you should be dashing a lot to reposition yourself. You just gotta kite everything down. Its pretty obvious but the special should be used at every opportunity since it takes basically no time fire and does tons of damage. Aim more for where enemies will be as you kite them rather than where they are now. You can even fire the special while you reload. Its really drat good.

Auto attacking just feels like being a crappy version of the spear unless you have supporting fire + zeus attack to pair with the massive ROF. Also have no idea how to lead most enemies past the first area unless you have the slow hammer or the rocket. Every enemy in Asphodel seems to love jumping massive distances and the heroes in Elysium are either standing still or gunning for your face. I feel like with Rail I either need to go full to hit attack or full crit special. Everything else seems really crappy and nonfunctional. None of the other weapons feel so inflexible in terms of what works. I've tried the dash + shotgun thing but I find that I'm dashing in, blowing my load, and the enemy is at 2/3 health if I don't crit and ready to bash my face in.

You get 2 dashes and if you use one at a time between double-barreled shotgun blasts then you can chain them together indefinitely

Kinda wish there was a keepsake that forced a Daedalus upgrade as your next chamber reward. Also, last night I opened an Infernal Trove for gems and got a bottle of nectar in addition. Is that a random thing or a bug? I'd never had that happen previously in 70 hours.

kaschei posted:I think that happens when you finish a trove spawn very quickly without taking damage, but it may just be random. This is right. It doesn't happen every time, but there's a percentage chance. I've also got it from the challenge chests before. No Wave posted:70% of the time I find the first Daedals hammer in Tartarus and the second in the first room of Elysium. You can more or less expect to find them around there (I think avoiding merchants is actually helpful because the game wants to offer you hammers twice and you don't want to give it the option of using merchants to do so - I'm not 100% on this though) Yeah, this is has been my experience as well. Except I do get the second hammer in Asphodel frequently too. Even if you find a hammer in a shop that you don't buy, you can still find another as a chamber reward. You can also sometimes force one using Fated Authority. It comes up in the rotation with coin, poms and Centaur Hearts.

A lot of things I thought were bad, like Athena's boon that increases deflected projectile damage, ended actually being decent. But the bad Hermes buffs are indeed really terrible. I'm convinced that for non-timed runs Aphrodite is the best god for basic runs but Artemis has the most highroll potential with chaos buffs etc.
