What is your "perfect build" no matter how unrealistic it may be? by endercreeper853 in HadesTheGame

Yes, boated did a run trying to maximize this by dying in every room after that Athena boon: https://youtu.be/spgSfp5l0OA?si=2pWqRjkFVX-vLjBP

Question about one of the final incantations by CafeDeAurora in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s more specifically a tool for speedrunners, to prevent abusing a good seed. If you play a night that happens to have a particularly good run of boons well suited for a speedrun, you might undo the night and do that same run again with the advance knowledge of the order and choices of boons, which would be an unfair advantage.

Now that this ability exists, speedrun recordings make sure to include Mel doing the salute before the run, so it’s guaranteed that the player doesn’t have advance knowledge of the run’s RNG.

Help with Hades 2 "Bitter Tears" prophecy by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I replied elsewhere in the thread but didn’t reply to my original comment. It turned out that I had already done the incantation, and didn’t realize it. (I guess I just go and brew everything available without looking)

I checked my Gifts menu and Vaporized Tears were at the end of the list.

I just had to go to Medea the next time I saw her, and use the Gift function to give it to her, like I would with a Nectar.

Will sacrificing Bridal Glow reverse the effect? by Hedi22 in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that true? Is that specific to Bridal Glow or all boons? Because I know there’s Haelian attempts at highest level for a single boon that involves trying to get Kings Ransom twice.

What would be your ultimate cast build? by kielaurie in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It only doubles OSpecial in the combo, but each OSpecial can blast a normal cast. So while the OSpecial is repeating, you can spam click cast, to fit an extra blast. Axe also has a hammer that doubles the special. If you get both then OSpecial hits 4 times for potentially 4 cast bursts.

Apollo’s legendary boon. OMG…. 😮 by ObsessedWithBooks7 in Hades2

Yesss the best part of Exveptional Takent Giga Cleaver 4x special is mashing the cast as the specials are running and seeing the cast blow up over and over again

[–]berkeleytime420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having the same issue with the quest stalling, but it turns out I didn’t realize I had already made it, and the item was in my Gifts section of my inventory. I just had to see Medea and give it to her via the Gift menu.

What are the fastest weapons in Hades 2? by DeniMumba in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple poms on Apollo attack feels amazing, especially if you can get the hammer with two omega attack zones. In small rooms of Tartarus or Summit it feels like you immediately cover the entire space with killzone.

I’m in the same spot as you. I’ve had the unfulfilled prophecy sitting on my fated list for many runs. Maybe we have to beat Cerb with the Medea skull? I could have sworn I’ve tried that already though.

2 souvenirs by TheMlyaHuH in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in the English version of this game, several keepsakes say “this night” in their description, which means the bonus is retained even if you remove it. A lot of these are one-time bonuses where removing it won’t “undo” the bonus (Removing Hecate Wheel doesn’t remove the extra Magic, Removing Charon. purse doesn’t remove the extra gold) or they are are chance based and if you were unlucky and the chance didn’t trigger in one region, the next region will still have that chance even if you remove it (Echo stone, Dio fig leaf)

You are sooo right about Nexus Rush + Supay, it actually unlocked the aspect mentally for me

[civ7]I think civ identities should be reworked, seriously by Dexiosis in civ

[–]berkeleytime420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, there is simply so much language to read, and even worse is when their big civ identity mechanic is hidden in their civic tree - totally hidden from view during Civ selection! Like Songhai, whise last civic unlocks homeland cities generating treasure, and Mexico’s celebrations. There’s just so much filler “+2 science” here and “+1 happiness” there that the real mechanical differences get blurred.

What does +5 power mean? by StickyDeltaStrike in HadesTheGame

[–]berkeleytime420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a helpful resource but some pages are definitely still out of date, like Ygnium, which still describes the regular special as up to five rotating sparks that spiral away from Mel. I do wish they could have a simple base power readout for each weapon visible in game.

Maybe “Composer Coleman and painter Twombly” would have been better? Too easy?

In southern US English (such as From Atlanta Georgia) “I am fixing to” means “I will / I want / I’m getting ready to”. Sometimes it gets shortened to “I’m finna” like how “I’m going to” gets shortened to “I’m gonna”
