I just picked up this game a week ago and I freaking love it. Then i finally beat it and it got even cooler.

There's a freaking shotgun and it's so good!

I used to take darkness most but now I never take it because you always get so much eventually and other stuff converts to it but it doesn't convert.

Everything else>shops and I have $300>Keys>gems>darkness>shops and I don't have $300

Darkness is good because it's +5 HP. That adds up, and it's an instant benefit unlike gold or rerolls. Five Darkness rooms equal a heart, which is 125G, so you can think of it as 25G value.

I have not unlocked this so all the more reason for me not to prioritize darkness pickups yet. :)

If I haven't cleared the final boss at 0 heat and then I clear it at 1 heat do I get double bounties for the last boss? WIll it even let me go into 1 heat if I haven't? I need so many diamonds rn

Thanks yall.

So if I'm understand right, I can farm a heat 1 diamond with every weapon regardless of whether I beat heat 0 with that weapon, but I can't go on to heat 2 until I kill hades at heat 1?

Is Doom not good? I like it on most specials.

I wish there was an indicator for cast effects that make it not sticky

Dashstrike should be

Demeter seems to be really underwhelming, except I'm not sure how good Chill is. Does it also slow enemy attacks? and does it work on bosses? If yes to both its insane with a way of stacking it fast, like dash or a fast weapon. Then killing freeze and arctic blast are really good.

Do god keepsakes trigger at the beginning of every zone, or is it only the first boon you see after equipping that keepsake? Like if I really wanted zeus boons, can I take it off after beating act 1, and then put it back on after beating act 2? or does it keep working when I start act 2? Or does it only work once at the start of a run?

Chill is great and slows bosses, not sure about attacks. Once you take a god keepsake off its over for the run, but I think if you keep it it keeps triggering.

She's got a boon that kills at 10%, which is insane.

Poseidon Sword and go hard on Artemis for the Cast boosts.

This. In a pinch Pos and Ath casts are also strong when spammed. Dislodge bonus is :kiss:

Seeds in this game are interesting. If you giveup you keep the same seed, and you'll get offered the same poo poo, including equivalent boon offerings. dash/cast/special in my current, for example. Which is nice if you want to win.

I find hangover rail to be pretty weak due to hitting max stacks quickly. Zues it for a flat damage boost and the extra aoe oomph you need to speed through everything.

5 extra shields at rank 5 = 6 procs per return? Yeaaaaaa :getin:

I genuinely thought feather charm could not gain charges in the tunnels. But buying the rarity boon before going in is a promove. Charon buffs check per room the same way demeter's does

Guess what’s better than carrying around a butterfly the whole game? Buying +30% attack damage for 40g.

Don't both end up mediocre, usually, due to all the other linear % damage bonuses?

You can manually reload?

Yes. Pretty sure the prompt for it shows up when you're in the weapons room with skelly

It says "press x to attack" "Press to reload"

For me. So I took that to mean pressing x when I'm out of ammo. Lol. This has made my rail a lot stronger. :)

Harold Fjord

Does it allow you to manually reload to charge it even?

In a similar vein I had the ZD lightning fog and was given the opportunity to replace my Dionysus cast with Poseidon cast. I was scared but had I done so would I get lightning fog at the end of my cast still?

Poseidon special worked great for slamming bosses around with Chiron bow. I'm geussing that's due to cumulative effect.

Seems likely. It's absolutely nuts with a shield too. Until you get the "hit twice, no pushback" daed which applies something like a 90% reduction to the boon

Nunchucks that shoot little scythe shapes with every swipe, and you swing them around like Bruce Lee to pepper distant enemies. Like the repeater, I guess, except I've never given a poo poo about the repeater.

Just so long as it's not the loving revolvers. I'm so happy I wasnt there for that incarnation of the rail. Hey, comment section of that Twitter says they used a scythe to cut off Chronos' balls. There are long range ways to do a scythe.

She's the harvest goddess so I'm pretty sure you nailed it.

she's also the goddess of seasons so maybe someday we can get Summer Demeter with stances or something.

Before writing it was all just what people said to each other and I'm sure people were always stealing the best or most immediately useful bits of each other's stories, truth and fiction, just like they continued to do into recorded history.

Can't complain, got like seven fish on my first run.

Do fish spawn anywhere in the third biome? There are fishing spots in the other three but I don't think I've even seen a spot in that misty stuff.

Yes but it's basically impossible to see them.

This seems to happen whenever you use the Zagreus aspect of any weapon, which I guess makes sense since Hades wanted to keep Zagreus' existence a secret. But then why keep documents on him in the first place? Something story-related is definitely up there

You can't just NOT keep documents

Hot tip for those who don't know. With the muse, you can pick an option, see what changes you get, and quit/repick without giving up.

It feels pretty much the same to me IE you get a random smattering of boons in Tartarus and then the further you progress the more it narrows down to boons for gods you already have. I've had no trouble building for specific gods.

Speaking of which, I love the alternative for privileged status. Its so much more liberating not having to worry about getting two status on a build. It might be inferior to privileged status on a lot of runs but its just so much more fun for me to be able to pick whatever boons I want.

Making 100% crit with some support viable is super nice.

There's definitely a subplot about zag coming into his own powers, whatever those are. Him being the god of rebirth is a little on the nose.

Gonaa complain about it now, anyone got support fire on fists? Seems like a no brainer, but I can't get it. I've seen arty about 10 times now (with rerolls), and it hasn't been offered.

My first run had that and freeze it was stupid.

Are there any funny rules about duo boons and competing gods? Sometimes when I'm running for a duo I just get the choice instead. Annoying

Does yarn affect getting that? I read it as rank upgrades, which wouldn't apply since there's no lower rank version.
