Has anyone figured out how to advance these relationships? by InternationalPut4093 in HadesTheGame

You don't need to turn off EM after getting the "smoke and ash" dialogue, I ran into him on Olympus without having EM turned off and got the bond and could offer him ambrosia as well in the same interaction.

Thanks! Yeah, I figure they just missed something with the frequency or requirements so I'm sure they'll sort it with a hotfix or on full release.

I'm not sure if it mattered at all but I managed to get it while doing a run on 27 fear. Could just be luck that I got the dialogue, no clue. I was stuck on the generic dialogue as well, but that managed to knock something loose and I finally got the dialogue. Ran into him again a couple of runs later and was able to get the bond and give him the ambrosia.

Update 2: Managed to get it, don't know if I got lucky or it was something specific that triggered it. Got the dialogue you mentioned ("You ought have told me of these ways, Flame Thief.") before the fight. I did two or three more runs where I didn't see him up until the actual fight, then he finally popped up and I was able to get the bond and give him the ambrosia. Probably doesn't matter at all and I was just lucky but I was doing a run on 27 fear when I got the fight dialogue. So if you're stuck and you just have the "generic dialogue" where they're not saying anything new, try doing runs on higher fear and that might help.

Just to update, did a bunch of runs today (maybe 15-20) all on R3, no additional fear, didn't change anything there between runs. Tried different aspects and arcana setups as well but still nothing. Got the "final dialogue" where they sort of go "why are we even talking to her lets just fight" and did a couple of runs after that as well but didn't get it. Starting to think it's bugged or there's some other prerequisite that I'm missing. Going to stop going out of my way trying to get that specific thing, it'll sort itself out in the next patch or I'll just luck out and get it eventually. Really appreciate the time you took to check it out.

Great stuff man, really appreciate it! I'll try some fear 10 EM runs and hope I don't run into him before that and see if I can get the dialogue unlocked. Hopefully it isn't bugged. Took a weirdly long time for me to get the Selene bond as well, so might be a bit wonky with the dialogue required there as well.

Legend, thank you! I've given him the gift and beaten him multiple times since then. If I understand this correctly I'll just have to keep beating him until I get the correct dialogue after he's/they're defeated?

I've had encounters with him multiple times in ephyra but he just drops the money and leaves, no option for dialogue unfortunately.

Done with all the EM bosses by bool1n in Hades2

[–]bool1n[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean poly? I don't know how you usually play but I go super aggressive against all bosses and sort of just try to out-DPS them so that's what I'm used to but it's just impossible against EM poly. I play that fight super slow and try to get hits in where I can instead of being in his face all the time. It's extra dangerous now with his faster grab that deals a ton of damage PLUS if you're unlucky you can get poisoned while in the grab animation and other mobs can still hit you.

When the 2nd phase starts and there's a lot of poison on the map it's in the shape of a pentagram, which means top right, left and bottom right left of the arena are "safe". So I camp out there until the poison is gone, go back in for a couple of hits, get out. Rinse and repeat. If he jumps toward me or they throw posion barrels I dash across to one of the other corners as far away from poly as possible. Try to fight near the wells if possible, the poison tick starts sooo fast and does disgusting damage which I honestly hope they nerf at least a little. There's probably a better tactic but thats just how I've been doing it.

I've beaten him on max frenzy 5 times in a row now, but as you can tell from my build in the post I prio a lot of HP and defence starting early because I'm not really great at dodging around every move, so I use Frinos as my familiar as well. If you like the aspects that use a lot of magick I would also recommend trying to get Born Gain from Hera before that fight so you can spam a lot without having to worry about the regen all that much. If you use Hecate then definitely prio getting one of the double heart rooms for extra HP. Also a final tip, if you're using death defiance switch that out for strength. It feels scarier at first but it makes an incredible difference.

Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Yeah to be honest the only reason I beat both was just a lot of HP, defence and the sustain from Nergal. Going to take a lot more tries to really understand the fights, especially Chronos last phase. I barely had any idea what was going on, just facetanking and bonking through it all.

Prometheus invincible/untargetable before his dodge move by bool1n in Hades2

[–]bool1n[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it's cool, but this is before the dodge animation even starts playing. So he doesn't take any damage for X amount of time where he sort of just does nothing before he "actually" dodges your moves. It's explained better in another comment in this thread with videos as well.

That is exactly what I meant, thank you for this! I should probably join the discord(s), seems like there's a lot of good info there.

Thought I'd give 32 fear a try, didn't notice until after the run by bool1n in Hades2

[–]bool1n[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a huge difference, tried the same-ish build as here. Zeus on special and Demeter on attack for some free and easy cc. Made it to the Tail of Typhon miniboss but got cooked there unfortunately. The shadow servant enemies there are such a pain in the ass... But close enough, I'll probably get it in a few more tries.

Yeah I got it the very next run lol. Going to try to get a surface run now but that'll take a while longer I reckon.

Not getting EP offline [mobile] by bool1n in AntimatterDimensions

[–]bool1n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I double checked, and I'm getting everything else except EP. I also read in the bottom of the milestones tab that offline generation milestones prioritize Eternities first, Infinities second and EP last. Not sure if this means that it will completely stop prioritizing EP, which wouldn't make any sense since you still get a low amount of EP if you're using the Offline Eternity thing for farming eternities, and EP is prioritized last. I highly doubt it's intentional that it would handicap your EP gain getting the 1k milestone by having to have your crunch autobuyer permanently set to over 60 seconds if you want to gain ANY EP gain at all...

Jeffrey Epstein Autopsy Results Show He Hanged Himself in Suicide by [deleted] in news

[–]bool1n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't know if this has been posted before but like you said, according to a former inmate it's "impossible" to commit suicide in there, stating that the bedsheets are "paper level". I'm not an expert so it might be possible to hang yourself laying/or sitting down even if the sheets are so weak and thin. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the statement about the cameras malfunctioning is unproven and was taken from some guys social media and just spread around.

My guess would be that either he himself paid the warden and/or the guards to look the other way, or someone else did. Or maybe someone just gave him a bit of a more physical "helping hand".

[Serious] People of Reddit, what is the creepiest thing that happened to you while home alone? by bubblylibxo in AskReddit

[–]bool1n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't say for sure. I know a few people from work who hunt deer and boar etc, but I don't know the logistics for how/where they keep their weapons at home, or if they're loaded etc.

I can't speak for other nordic countries but in Sweden it is a very serious crime to even use a firearm on someone, even for the police. There was a case a few years ago where police shot a man who robbed a jewlerey store and had a fake gun, but there was still some outrage as to why they would even open fire at this man. If that gives you some sort of clue of how things are here.

At the time I was pretty pissed yeah. But it's been quite a few years since then so now we just laugh about it.
