@@JawlessPaul so to unlock the aspect of Gilgamesh do you have to have the other aspects maxed out or just five blood used in one or more of the aspects
Just started playing this game a couple days ago and I’m absolutely in love. The shield and the spear are my favorite weapons rights now. I can beat the bone hydra easily but now elysium is whooping my ass.
I really hate elysium as of the first three the difficult from easiest to hardest is Hydra is the easiest, then the sisters, and the thesus/bull combine is so annoying
they could have made this game minus the headfuck, pure arcade style is better. I'm sure 1/2 of the players do not bother with dialogs, cool game still, lets hope next game is 2 player offline bring back the fun in games,
It’s crazy how much there is to this game and that it keeps being interesting and fun even after so many escape attempts. I’m currently at about 35 attempts, defeated Hades twice, but feel like I’m only getting started. And I almost gave up playing after about 2 hours.
My favorite is when Hades comments on lucifer haha, before the fight he's like that weapon is fucked up, & Zag says well it's from a guy who challenged his father, Hades goes you know nothing about it It's pretty funny using other mythologies like that
I died or purpose 30 times in the first room to "advance" the story to get the Guan Yu aspect. As you said, I was in the middle of a quest so Achilles talked about other things. After the 30 runs, all people in the House of Hades had no more dialogues, everyone was like "Hey Zag, whats up!", I did 10 additional runs and still I did not receive the dialogue about Guan Yu. I had spent 7 blood in other aspects (Nemesis, Chiron, Talos, Chaos) and still was getting the same dialogue from Achiles. Finally decided to spend one more blood and bought the Achilles aspect, the very next time Achilles talked about Guan Yu. Just wanted to share my experience from this week. Thanks for your amazing videos and explanations.
I just completed the main quest yesterday after 50 runs (the credits were so good !) so im now trying to get the companions and the hidden aspects im missing and your guide helped me a lot! I love your guides ! You explain so well ! Thanks a lot dude !
Just started play hades last week and was struggling to do some of the quest and unlocks but Paul here explains the processes so well and is very helpful. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Today I followed your Zeus+Poseidon build with a touch of Ares and Demeter. My weapon of choice was the fist. Let me tell you one thing brother, I was fisting the Olympian Gods like a fisting connoisseur.
Don't know why I didn't subscribe earlier! I've been watching your videos since I got the game and I love them, not to mention Hades is definitely a unique experience and trying your builds and using this advice has greatly enhanced my enjoyment of the game, so thank you!
Great vids, sir. Have about 50 hours in the game now and your vids are enriching the experience. Good job avoiding spoilers as well. Tough in a game with this many lanes of traffic. Keep up the good work!
I've been playing casually since it released on xbox, fully expecting the game to more or less dry up once I had cleared Hades a few times but damn, with these heats and everything it's like I'm only just getting started. I love it. The way they figured out how to make a roguelike where you repeat the same runs over and over (but obviously with infinite number of different builds to work with) make sense in the narrative and even provide compelling storytelling even after 30, 40, 50+ runs is just genius. I really love this game. Nyx is obviously my favorite character ever so I wanted to give her ambrosia first but I seem to have hit a wall. No more dialogue from her, can't give her anymore nectar or ambrosia, not really sure what her quest for me is supposed to be. Something about a chaos gate?
Unlocking some of them can be weird for sure, even if the process is as simple as spending 5 blood I had plenty of bloods invested in the rail but it took a lot of runs before zeus said the phrase The trigger was first having him comment on the rail itself But rama, Beowulf & arthur I got in back to back runs immediately after spending the blood haha Getting Achilles to bring up guan yu takes quite a few convos too Idk why people would keep asking you though Paul it's on the wiki and one search away
I definitely know that they have to comment on the weapon in question first before they give you the unlock phrase Zeus, Artemis chaos and asterius all have to aknowledge it first before the trigger to unlock
Fun bug that a found : Invested 5 blood on Shields and Chaos wont trigger the dialogue for Beowulf , instead Nix gave me the line for Arthur , regardless the fact that I invest only 1 blood on Swords.
I’m think it might have to do with usage or successful runs with the weapons because I unlocked Guan Yu then Beowulf and haven’t seen Arthur and I barely use/win with the sword in comparison to the spear and shield
I destroyed Hades over 50 times, played 80 hrs, used all weapons fairly evenly but I never got the Guan-yu aspect. At this point I'm glad I spoiled myself a bit. Cheers mate! Thx for the tips.
@@JawlessPaul thanks so much! 🤣 i got in a bit late in the hype but it's kind of a blessing in disguise cause then now I get to see all your guides HAHAHAA 😆 time to go beastmooode
I don't think it's convoluted at all, so much as there's dialogue priorities. Example being the main story > all. So if you escaped to progress the actual story can limit the options for side quests, and inverse that if you died so story doesn't have a progression tick it means a side story can pop. Add into that side stories having priorities as well means one side story can supersede another.
Hi Paul, you realy have the best videos for Hades on your channel! The way you explain and show things is awsome! Thanks a lot and greetings from germany.👍
Cheers for this buddy. I have been stressing over the Shady Companion. I have given all the nectar, just stuck waiting for the dialogue regarding his contract to start. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. What you say about the other characters dialogue/quests stalling this progress makes sense. I will carry on and just accept that it will eventually happen! Hopefully!! For what it's worth, really appreciate your videos. Thank you. If you get stuck for video ideas, would love to hear your thoughts on the pact of punishment and best options for easy/medium/hard runs.
@9:50 = Well... see this as : Achile's & Patroclus, in "Brokeback Olympus" Acceptance. Freedom. Diversity. The Elysium Cowboys are stars of the show in HADES. Patroclus's death regen and power attack are top.
If you're kinda stuck with the game (Namely Hades), I suggest try Eris Rail + Zeus attack (Make sure to get jolt on Zeus and dash on Poseidon too) It is by far the most OP and easy build in this game that it can makes you faceroll everything in this game. Other weapons are WAYYY harder to master. (Holy Sword is good too but only in lower Heat level.) Another good easy to play op build is Charion bow build + Crit special.
Alright, so I got to the Satyr hangout and well... let's just say, I haven't played in weeks. Instead! I'm finally playing through Blasphmeous on Switch and loving it. Maybe I'll come back to Hades. Maybe. =) Hades is by no means a bad game by my standards I just don't think it's for me. Maybe when I go back to it I'll appreciate it more. Thanks for the help and input from yall
@@JawlessPaul Ahh okay thanks for the response! So basically wait til Than has that discussion and then leave the underworld after that, and he should be able to accept ambrosia then?
I just started playing this game probably 7-9 days ago. And I finally beat it this morning. 20 escape attempts exactly and I beat it with the bow(emphasis on crit damage and dodge). Now, I’m searching to get all the resources so I can get all the renovations and try to 100% the game
Noice videos. yeah in my experience, Asterius provides the chant even though I was using a lance weapon against him. So it's not required to use fists when talking to him.
Hey Jawless Paul, I think it would make sense to include in this video that you have to give nyx six nectar in order to get Achilles keepsake as well as Sisyphus keepsake. I've beaten every weapon all the way up to 10 heat and found online to increase relationship with nyx in order to get the contracts found in the admin room.
@@JawlessPaul yeah, I had Sisyphus and Achilles and patroclus at max 6 nectar for a ton of runs. The minute I levelled up 6 nectar with nyx they all got unlocked super fast. She tells you were to find the contracts in the admin room
Thanks, I've really hit a stride on getting through runs with minimum heat all the way, and with all the 1.0 storylines i thought favors were glitched. Turns out I should just keep at it and keep talking to them.
I will say im like 35 ish runs in and the fact that there are still all new interactions and conversations ive not heard adds so much to the game and Really helps give it the well deserved success that its seen, One thing that i found out and was really impressed by is the fact that they have had success with every game theyve made and theyre always polished and great but unlike "AAA" studios , they dont crunch their employees almost to death with over time and their team is like less than 10 people (id have to double check that number, but its no rockstar studios) yet theyre still making amazing games, no corners cut, unlike so many modern titles that claim to be AAA and charge a AAA price for hot garbage cause the money takes massive priority over the game itself , they could learn a thing or two from supergiant games, but i know they wont.
I agree with your thoughts about Supergiant. I think there is more light being shed in the game development world about working conditions. Hopefully they start to pay attention to small studios quietly creating popular masterpieces and adjust management to encourage creativity.
Do you have to put at least 1 blood in Guan Yu to be considered "unlocked"? Or can you simply reveal the hidden Guan Yu aspect to be considered unlocked? Thank you for the great content
i dont know what the very last one was so im bery happy you said spoiler warning as i have only beaten the first stage of the final boss hades so far and havent escaped yet so you have my thanks for not ruining anything!
Ha! The "conversation" my playthrough had with Megera was, she was getting her things. I got the batty companion, but she has a thing going with Thanatos. They are always together in the lounge.
So... “having the Aspect of Guan Yu unlocked”, does it mean I actually need to invest blood in it so I can equip it, or do I just need to finish the quest so it shows up in the weapon selection? Believe it costs 3 and I don’t have much blood left
Great info, what I've been working on unlocking. Only probably is I'm getting so much of the story plot points cause I keep running into Act 3 event room and their plot, plus same person keeps talking to me about plot when I beat Hades as well. So taking a hot minute to unlock those weapons, haha.
"Super convoluted." I mean, it sounds like it's just, spend the time to get all the necessary resources spent, and then talking to them over and over till they give the right quest, then complete that, then talk/resource again, and you get it.
Well... it's convoluted to try and diagnose why someone isn't getting the right dialogue options even though they "talked to so and so about 50 times!!"
The thing is this game is built around you beating the game again and again and again to get the plot. I already spent a good 70 hrs on this game yet I still got so many npcs' dialogues. Regular players who move on to next game after beating the game a few time would never unlock those, nor would they unlock all the great story element of this game.
I've found myself sabotaging runs just so I can get back to the house of hades and unlock more story. I walked into the lava in asphodel at least ten times so I could unlock more meg dialog lol.
@@JawlessPaul one of my keep sakes has a companion on it or some sort of face ? Like we have a close bond or something . One question can you a companion without pact of punishment? Or do you beat hades so you can keep grinding for companions . I’m 40 Hours in and still can’t beat hades haha
I haven't even killed Theseus once yet, but I already fixed over 50 things in the house. Can I just farm some nectar, throw them at medusa, and get the companion before even beating the game?
Hey jawless did you know about the hades call? And how it’s unlocked I saw a bit of it at the end of someone’s play through but nothing else it looks cool!
I know the video is a bit old, but I still hope for an answer. I had the room dialogue with Meg before giving her all the nectar but now I can’t give her ambrosia. Is there another dialogue or a way to trigger that one again? If not, can I get the companion any other way?
man, i love you and your content. it's helped me become a better hades player! however, i suspect some small bits of false advertisement? i mean, you clearly have a jaw
Just wanted to say that I got the legendary aspect Gilgamesh for the fists and I don't have Guan Yu unlocked, I have it available but haven't put any blood into it
I made it past Cerberus once on my 16th run. Reached the final area to get to Hades. But i ran into Poison mobs was 34/150 hp and wiped. Never got back there again.
I’m not sure if this has been said in the comments yet but you have to wear the fists for Gilgamesh until Asterius comments on someone beating before with the “bare fist method” then any other time you see him after that it doesn’t matter, if you don’t believe me check the wiki
I have done 60 runs, got all weapons to around 8-9 heat, max leveled up all charms, got all but a couple achievments, and Achilles still hasn't progressed his quest with me, idk how to trigger it. I've spoken to him and everyone else like 200 times
Not sure what I’m missing with Skelly. Gave him 6 nectar, upgraded stygius to level 5 zag and no dialogue, nor nothing happened when he died. Do I need to come out of a failed attempt and try again??
Ohhh.. thank you, Achilles never spoke to me about Guan Yu after 15 successful escapes with the spear, I was sooo done man, I will try again ;-;, I wonder, can we just kill ourselves everytime to speed up the dialogues? I may be too tired to do full runs again
Is it necessary to give nectar to any other npcs to trigger quest dialogue or is it only needed to trigger the quest initially?? Rather, if i were only trying to unlock everything and didnt care about all the flavor dialogue, do i need to give nectar to any npcs besides the ones who trigger the quest and give the companion??
You don't need to... But it depends on what you are going for. Some gods it makes no practical difference but others ha e quest lines or the companions as rewards
Oh I thought I had to buy all of the most expensive lounge quests for the scroll . I didn’t know it was for the legendary weapons. I was just thinking, this is gonna be a while but not quite as long as I thought.
Well, it can be tough to pick... but the best one for new players is bouldy. It is difficult to force him. That's one of the more difficult companions to find
@@JawlessPaul Oh that's alright! Basically I've been trying to trigger this event and it doesn't seem to be happening. I have had max hearts on meg for a while, but the event never seems to trigger. Im just wondering if there is a set number of times I need to fight her, or if its complete RNG
I will start a run to die on purpose in the 1st room to start new interactions with NPCs so I can finish quests quicker
That is a big brain play my friend!!
Purpose yeah haha, for sure...
Don't forget to put extra trap damage on to make it quicker!
@@JawlessPaul so to unlock the aspect of Gilgamesh do you have to have the other aspects maxed out or just five blood used in one or more of the aspects
@@tanewby3861 5 blood IN the gloves I believe
Ah yes, just like highschool. I give a favored friend some ambrosia and they then aid me in my next fight. Makes sense.
Lol! Just the way it works in the Underworld AND the overworld. 🤣
That’s how mafia works
That’s how it works in London, just hope ur not fighting the kid who brought all the sweets
You say that but give highschoolers alcoholic beverages and im sure many would get in fights with you lol
Just started playing this game a couple days ago and I’m absolutely in love. The shield and the spear are my favorite weapons rights now. I can beat the bone hydra easily but now elysium is whooping my ass.
Elysium is a pretty big difficulty jump!
In case you have not beat it yet, I recommend killing the bull first, then Theseus.
@@legendoflink1821 i can only do this if I kill theseus first. Weird hahaha
I really hate elysium as of the first three the difficult from easiest to hardest is Hydra is the easiest, then the sisters, and the thesus/bull combine is so annoying
I beat them both my second time ever fighting them with the automatic crossbow, & was my first time using it lol they beat me next two times though.
I had absolutely no idea unlocking things in this game was this deep, and I have 40+ hours
There's a LOT to explore! :)
Same
Same here! People started talk about companions at work and I didn’t get it haha
It's nuts and I love it, even after like 45 runs I still feel like there's so many more builds and playstyles I wanna try.
they could have made this game minus the headfuck, pure arcade style is better. I'm sure 1/2 of the players do not bother with dialogs, cool game still, lets hope next game is 2 player offline bring back the fun in games,
Unlocking everything was easy for me since i love the dialouge between zagreus and everyone and how the story progresses haha
Totally! I really enjoy it as well!
It’s crazy how much there is to this game and that it keeps being interesting and fun even after so many escape attempts. I’m currently at about 35 attempts, defeated Hades twice, but feel like I’m only getting started. And I almost gave up playing after about 2 hours.
I finally beat Hades yesterday with your doom shield build so this timing is perfect
Right on! And well played!
Doom with shield is insane
My favorite is when Hades comments on lucifer haha, before the fight he's like that weapon is fucked up, & Zag says well it's from a guy who challenged his father, Hades goes you know nothing about it
It's pretty funny using other mythologies like that
It's good stuff!

Thats interesting because of all the non hidden aspects Achilles was the very last one I got even after I got Guan yu and Arthur
I’ve unlocked everything except for Antos so far! Gonna grind it out tonight for sure! Thanks for the guide!
You are very welcome!
I just completed the main quest yesterday after 50 runs (the credits were so good !) so im now trying to get the companions and the hidden aspects im missing and your guide helped me a lot!

Anyone talk with everyone every time that you die?
I did pretty much every time
Of course

You might be done with her honestly. Keep giving ambrosia to other characters. Sometimes that can open up new things!
Yes nyx continuation story relates to Chaos, so probably you can start by befriending Chaos during your runs and give chaos some Nectars

Thank you sir!
Exactly what i need! Cheers mate!
You're welcome!

I had plenty of bloods invested in the rail but it took a lot of runs before zeus said the phrase
The trigger was first having him comment on the rail itself
But rama, Beowulf & arthur I got in back to back runs immediately after spending the blood haha

Indeed!
You should put your twitch link in the description. Found it tho. Good informative vid appreciated the effort not to spoil anything.

I've been trying to trigger the Dusa quest, but I guess I accidently triggered the Meg one. Thanks :)
Thanks for watching Soundicon!
Nice! Thanks for this.
You are welcome!
Thanks this was very helpful
any time!
good video thanks. Now if only I could get through Elisium without being wrecked by those shield dudes and traps in the first chamber.
So... “having the Aspect of Guan Yu unlocked”, does it mean I actually need to invest blood in it so I can equip it, or do I just need to finish the quest so it shows up in the weapon selection? Believe it costs 3 and I don’t have much blood left
@unlocktheswag Fantastic, thank you
unlocktheswag has you covered!
Great info, what I've been working on unlocking. Only probably is I'm getting so much of the story plot points cause I keep running into Act 3 event room and their plot, plus same person keeps talking to me about plot when I beat Hades as well. So taking a hot minute to unlock those weapons, haha.
Haha, yeah!
Love it man!!!
Thanks!
"But it's possible (that you're wrong)". Nice segue out of that, you chose to explain the situation rather than make some people defensive. Nice
Haha, I'm not sure what you are referencing but I do that a lot 🤣
@@JawlessPaul when you're talking about the legendary fists. And how some people say you need to be wearing them
Thanks a lot man!
You are very welcome!
"Super convoluted."
I mean, it sounds like it's just, spend the time to get all the necessary resources spent, and then talking to them over and over till they give the right quest, then complete that, then talk/resource again, and you get it.
Well... it's convoluted to try and diagnose why someone isn't getting the right dialogue options even though they "talked to so and so about 50 times!!"
The thing is this game is built around you beating the game again and again and again to get the plot.
I already spent a good 70 hrs on this game yet I still got so many npcs' dialogues.
Regular players who move on to next game after beating the game a few time would never unlock those, nor would they unlock all the great story element of this game.
@@Ventus_S sure, but that just makes it time consuming, not convoluted.
I've found myself sabotaging runs just so I can get back to the house of hades and unlock more story. I walked into the lava in asphodel at least ten times so I could unlock more meg dialog lol.
Haha! For sure!
lmao same i just want to unlock her quest but she wont come to my room its been 50 attempts now..
@@Saintk3k You've probably got other dialog trees pushing it back. Just keep talking to everyone after every run and it will happen :)
Loved the video. The only thing I wished was you put pictures of the God when you said their name. Some of us are horrible with names lol
Fair enough! Glad you loved the video anyway! Cheers!
Man this game is a grind
Haha, to get all the companions it is!
@@JawlessPaul one of my keep sakes has a companion on it or some sort of face ? Like we have a close bond or something . One question can you a companion without pact of punishment? Or do you beat hades so you can keep grinding for companions . I’m 40
Hours in and still can’t beat hades haha
Thank you so much! Iv been getting annoyed with Meg for a week now... I couldn’t find anything on the wiki either
6:00 still can't give her Ambrosia.... she came in my room and broke up with me...but can't gift her anything :(
I think there's more to the story 👀
Yeah me too, did you solve the problem?
Showing gameplay footage to demonstrate all this would've been nice.
Fair!
Ive escaped 8 times and still haven't unlocked a single companion. Been hoarding that juice.
Haha... But why? 🤣
I haven't even killed Theseus once yet, but I already fixed over 50 things in the house. Can I just farm some nectar, throw them at medusa, and get the companion before even beating the game?
I... Think so? It's certainly possible!
Hey jawless did you know about the hades call? And how it’s unlocked I saw a bit of it at the end of someone’s play through but nothing else it looks cool!
Beat the game more than 10 times then you will be able to gift nectar to hades
Aaron Hidalgo ah thank you!
Yeah! I got it on a different save file. It's pretty cool!
I know the video is a bit old, but I still hope for an answer. I had the room dialogue with Meg before giving her all the nectar but now I can’t give her ambrosia. Is there another dialogue or a way to trigger that one again? If not, can I get the companion any other way?
There is a quest that you need to complete before you can give ambrosia
man, i love you and your content. it's helped me become a better hades player! however, i suspect some small bits of false advertisement? i mean, you clearly have a jaw
Guilty As charged! 🤣
Just wanted to say that I got the legendary aspect Gilgamesh for the fists and I don't have Guan Yu unlocked, I have it available but haven't put any blood into it
Yeah, they have changed some of this apparently
Thank you for the info on Meg’s companion. At the same time, is escaping required for her conversation to pop or can i just reset in lava? Thanks
I'm not sure, but many conversations are progressed by death, so no need to beat the game.
I made it past Cerberus once on my 16th run. Reached the final area to get to Hades. But i ran into Poison mobs was 34/150 hp and wiped. Never got back there again.
You'll get there again!
I’m not sure if this has been said in the comments yet but you have to wear the fists for Gilgamesh until Asterius comments on someone beating before with the “bare fist method” then any other time you see him after that it doesn’t matter, if you don’t believe me check the wiki
I believe you!
When you say to unlock Guan Yu, do I need to put the Titan Blood in it or just have it discovered?
Just discovered
I have done 60 runs, got all weapons to around 8-9 heat, max leveled up all charms, got all but a couple achievments, and Achilles still hasn't progressed his quest with me, idk how to trigger it. I've spoken to him and everyone else like 200 times
Not sure what I’m missing with Skelly. Gave him 6 nectar, upgraded stygius to level 5 zag and no dialogue, nor nothing happened when he died. Do I need to come out of a failed attempt and try again??
Hmm ... I don't have Guan yu but I've got rama and Beowulf. Maybe it does a pity unlock if you're stuck in the Achilles quest for forever
Not sure! It looks like there are some new mechanics in play 🤣
i love your movies, val kilmer
Oh Val, is there anything he can't do?
Ohhh.. thank you, Achilles never spoke to me about Guan Yu after 15 successful escapes with the spear, I was sooo done man, I will try again ;-;, I wonder, can we just kill ourselves everytime to speed up the dialogues? I may be too tired to do full runs again
Yes thank you so much
You are welcome!
When I got the quest for the fist I was wearing them and made a comment about them
I have the Arthur aspect unlocked, but I haven't had any conversations about Guan Yu, therefore haven't unlocked it.
Nice! Looks like some of that stuff got changed. Which is good. Guan Yu shouldn't be the gatekeeper
That's a lot of grinding and back and forth Sheesh
Is it necessary to give nectar to any other npcs to trigger quest dialogue or is it only needed to trigger the quest initially?? Rather, if i were only trying to unlock everything and didnt care about all the flavor dialogue, do i need to give nectar to any npcs besides the ones who trigger the quest and give the companion??
You don't need to... But it depends on what you are going for. Some gods it makes no practical difference but others ha e quest lines or the companions as rewards
So I have to unlock Guan Yu before unlocking the other aspects? Just trying to fully plan out Titan blood placements
Oh I thought I had to buy all of the most expensive lounge quests for the scroll . I didn’t know it was for the legendary weapons. I was just thinking, this is gonna be a while but not quite as long as I thought.
It isn't completely terrible I suppose 😂
Haven't made it to Hades battle yet. Who's the first companion I should go for?
Well, it can be tough to pick... but the best one for new players is bouldy. It is difficult to force him. That's one of the more difficult companions to find
so to unlock the aspect of Gilgamesh do you have to have the other aspects maxed out or just five blood used in one or more of the aspects
How was dusa's companion the 1st I unlocked? Maybe its the crush she has on Zag that twisted me.
Meg came to my room, but got disgusted by the state of my worn down undecorated bedroom and left. :( Have i messed up?
Haha! That's the most basic rule to always clean up before inviting your special friend over! 😂
Could’ve smashed unlucky 😂
Everything I see and here talks about meg using 'a certain number of times'. Is the number known? Even a guess? Is it completely random?
Sorry, I'm not sure what you are asking. Sorry for the late response!
@@JawlessPaul Oh that's alright! Basically I've been trying to trigger this event and it doesn't seem to be happening. I have had max hearts on meg for a while, but the event never seems to trigger. Im just wondering if there is a set number of times I need to fight her, or if its complete RNG
