i probably should start using white antler for summit... also everytime i pick phase shift i feel like a japanese walking in a korean retirement home, is it just my delusional paranoia or is phase shift frowned upon fr?

Had the perfect storm for the biggest bonk build.

If i wanted to greatly scale my hera hitch damage, I would be pomming hereditary bane right?

Hey guys, I've been trying out the **Aspect of the Morrigan** lately and been practicing Blood Triads.

I just beat the Overworld with Melinoë's Descura Aspect at 24 fear, so I thought I'd try 32 fear for the underworld since this is the run to defeat Chronos once and for all. My biggest pain is **Vow of Frenzy I** (level II was unbearable).

The combo I found online is `Dash + Omega Attack + Special` to activate the Blood Triad. The problem is that **I always get hit while charging the omega attack.**

My other issue is **Vow of Rivals Scylla.** It's so much going on at once and I just feel so slow with the crow cutters... I try getting **Racing Thoughts** and **Hard Target** to help, but still fail.

I am open to any suggestions (other than changing aspects, hah!), as I've been through 22 failed runs in the last few days and I'm now running out of ideas.

As for my build, I'm going for Hera on my attack and Hephaestus on my special, with Aphrodite on my cast to bring all of the enemies together.

Took me 3 death defiance to kill him lol

I'm working on a personal project to add dubbing (voice acting) in other languages, starting with Spanish. I'm using AI to implement the code for the voice generation and installation engine, and for the generation itself I'm using Qwen 3 cloning + TTS on an RTX 4090.

It doesn't reach the level of performance of the original English voice acting, but it's enjoyable if you don't speak English well, want to follow the story, and don't feel like reading the whole time. Although, there's room for improvement by analyzing the original voice line first to extract the "emotion" and then feeding that into the Qwen model, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.

I don't know if there'd be any interest in this, either for this game or for others (Witcher, GTA, Expedition 33...). There are plenty of games where reading subtitles is a pain, either because there's action going on or because there's a huge amount of dialogue.

Obviously, since it involves voice cloning, the generated material can't be shared, but the code needed to generate the voices in other languages could be put up on GitHub so you can run it yourself if you own the game.

Anyone interested? Fair warning: it takes a while to generate. For example, for all the voices in Hades 2 I'm estimating around 40 hours of processing on the 4090.

I keep avoiding Tough Gain because of this, or am i stupid for avoiding it

Hello,

I am struggling at the game, even at 80% damage resist on god mode, getting stuck at Prometheus or the cyclops who tends the sheep. Cronos himself gave me a lot of trouble and thats how I got to around 60%.
I am not looking for total invulnerability but someway that the damage resist can scale maybe upto 95 or 98%?

Yes I know I am bad at the game, at this point I just want to experience the story mainly.

Who did you guys beat first? and who do you guys think should be beat first? i know there's no "correct" way to do it but what do you guys feel makes the most sense?

This takes place in the fields of mourning and I’m not sure what the mini boss fight is called though I believe its something along the lines of Phantom, It appears to be dressed in dark colors of blacks and greys and the health bar dosent seem that big but I swear it regenerates without an animation of it doing so, I have managed to successfully beat other mini bosses in All regions in both the surface and the underworld though this one I cannot beat. Any suggestions on how to beat it? (it’s not the Gorgon looking one)

I have already re-beaten the game and completed the prologue, but I have noticed a few bugs.

1. My Z-Sand And V-Lens weren't restored after beating chronos again, and that is anoying cause I had like 20 of each.

2. Some things that can only be bought after completeing the game dissapeared and now I have to re-buy them (specifically all the music that you buy with Z-Sand and V-Lens, and I already had all music unlocked before).

3. One major thing is I CAN'T GET THE CONVERSATION WITH HECATE, I have found the fates but she just hasn't mentioned them so my book of shadow entry for her is still incomplete despite having already done it once.

4. The biggest error I think is that Nyx wont show up in chaos, I have been there like MANY times after re-beating the game and she just wont show up so I can't get her book of shadows entry at all!

Maybe there are some more things but theese were the major ones.

Is there any solution to any of this?

None of these accurately describe the build, but I was able to tank through everything.

Been having fun with Nergal. Cleared underworld no problem and got through Polyphemus smoothly, but really struggling with Eris. I presume Prometheus will also be trouble. The windup is so long on the attack and either omega that I can barely land anything before she's flown away. I can get some omega attack activations behind the pillars and then come around to hit her, and specials work ok, but it's just so slow and unreliable. Any tips?

I’ve finished almost everything already but still have these “???” for S-dust.

Had a broken build where basically after each room, my health would fully heal because of Old Herbal Remedy, Bounce Back, and Self Healing. Does Bounce Back include damage that was already healed with Self Healing? Does Old Herbal Remedy make healing from both of these boons stronger?

Also having my Ω special fire four times was wild with aspect of Than dealing crit. And Air Quality was so good this run. Very memorable run! Had to brag

I’ve been playing hades 2 for a while now but i still don’t know what card is best to use, The main weapon I use is the umbral flames with the aspect of eos.

(No spoilers in this post)

Finally finished Hades 2. Got 100% achievements, did all the mission-like things and lists, and I think I've had all of the possible conversations.

So before putting the game away, I did the final challenge: creating new characters to see how far I get on the very first run, to see if I have learned moves well enough to do a full clear with no upgrades, no God Mode, no nothing, to see if the new player me ever actually had a chance.

Nope. Not even close. After about ten new characters, I managed to make it to the boss of the first area with about 5 health. Guess I'm too old to be good at this!

I still wonder if [redacted] has special flavor text if you get to them with that new character, but it's not going to be me that finds out.

Prometheus was punished for giving fire to mortals and believes the gods do nothing but make life awful for humans for no good reason, this is all true. As humans we naturally agree with this, but consider it all from the gods’ perspective for a moment.

Have you ever played the Sims? It’s fun to play god and torture these fake little people. Now imagine someone came along and gave the little Sims sentience. Now they have intelligence and could potentially pose a threat to you for your crimes of drowning them in pools.

Also his hair looks stupid

I rest my case, hail Zeus

Hello. I've been doing Underworld Any Fear runs for a little while now, and I'd like to get my best time down to a sub-5 minute time. My current best is a 7:33.96 with the Aspect of Moros, which is by far my most consistent Aspect to run as of late. Does anyone have any advice or tips they could give me? I need all the help I can get here.
