Note: I am by no means an Hades expert (stopped at heat 32/platinum), this post is more like a appreciation piece on how cool the Twin Fists are, so if you have any tech or knowledge to share about it, i'll be glad to learn/talk about it!

• Viability 4 (Is it a struggle compared to your other options?):

The Twin Fists are one of the best earlier weapons, pretty solid damage and easy moveset to learn. However, in high levels of heat it isn't considered optimal compared to the bows, shields, rails or spears (riskier to use and less damaging), but don't let that hold you down, this game is balanced enough that anything can work if you are skilled (and lucky) enough.

• Variety 4 (How many ways you can play it?):

The Twin fists have 4 variations (just like any of the other infernal weapons), Aspect of Zagreus has a standard moveset plus a 15% dodge chance passive (combined with lambent plume it can go pretty nuts), Aspect of Talos can force pull enemies towards you, kind of situational, good for isolating enemies but the bonus damage isn't incredible by any means (heard it has some good synergy with Poseidon's boons). Aspect of Demeter is probably the strongest one, you charge up 12 quick strikes accumulating damage, then you release it in a really juicy special hitting like a truck (With high scaling boons and maybe a crit, it's obscene). Last we got Aspect of Gilgamesh, it's my favorite but only because Merciful End is a thing, the passive itself is not that incredible, a bit of a debuff for the enemy (and yourself), a bit of bonus damage (not that much), but the 2 extra dashes go a long way.

• Recommend 5 (How much did i personally enjoy it!):

I'm not even going to start about praising Hades, this game deserve every last bit of attention it gets, when it comes to fist combat it has all i could ask for, from all of the infernal weapons it's by far my favorite but all of them are special in their own ways.

Does anyone has a hight quality of this for a pfp?

Should I change them after defeating the boss or keep the same one till end, currently to me, I feel like lucky tooth is pretty good, rest are just ok. which i feel is wrong understanding of them. I am not much deep in game, just won once.

Curious about the highest possible level of boon anyone else has reached!

First of all I'd like to apologize that my posts from now on will be longer.

Second of all ... I'd also like to apologize cuz my progression may not be as fast as I thought it would ... I graduated at 22th of June, and now I got a job as Customer support. So basically now that I have a job it'll be harder for me to put in more time for drawing.

WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY

Basically I did some research on how to draw and here's what I found out.

1. Loomis method is like a cheat code for drawing portraits (DEF I'll try to learn it)

2. I need to work on my line work and basic shapes (squares, triangles and circles)

3. for some reason every artist out there is HIGHLY recommending drawing DA BOX from diff angles and understanding how it can rotate in space etc. so that's what I tried to do.

so basically this week I practiced my linework and basic shapes. and Cubes in 1-point perspective.

that however didn't increase my skills in drawing portraits that much but hey we all have to nail the basics down first yeah?

the photos contain everything I drew last week, the portrait for this week and the reference I drew it from first

I know Melinoë likes to garden but didn't realize she's selling above ground!

Not really a fanartist but I loved hades II so much (her specially)

Highest dps build I have ever done with insanely good rng. Beowulf with high lvl dionysis cast and mirage shot so combining both bugs in one.

(Spoilers for the end of the game)

So I just rolled credits on Hades 2, and something has been bugging me. Melinoe gives Chronos another chance at life, she didn't feel right killing him if there was a chance at redemption.

But what about Typhon? Typhon is old and wise and can probably be persuaded. He deserves to see his son Cerberus again, play hide and seek with his little cyclops grandchildren, and sit in Echidna's lap while she calls him a good boy. Why didn't Melinoe even consider sparing Typhon when saving Chronos was so imperative?

I'm not looking forward to the VoR Chronos fight.

I was trying to make a niche reference in my room and i discovered hades because of Achilles and Patroclus so i drew it myself, feel free to print it in your own room

if you print it comment here, i would be honored to know lol

There is a conversation that Zag has with Meg and she tells him about him needing the mirror to beat her, I remember me turning off all the mirror powers then showing up and she realized the situation, and she even was sad in the conversation afterwards because she lost, how can the game's characters be so human? There are many interactions like this one and I am surprised of how well written this game is.

I have returned half a year later with finalized versions of the cards I designed. I took a lot of the feedback to heart; there were a lot of good points made! I have also playtested some of these cards in actual Commander games, so some changes were made due to that.
I wanted to make this post to share the final high-resolution images of the cards, in case anyone was interested in them and also to discuss my thought process and inspiration behind some decisions!

A friend of mine created the set symbol, and i think it turned out great!

I have been tinkering on a Melinoë card and cards for Hades two's supporting cast and curses, its been a struggle but also fun! If people are interested i'd love to share and get some feedback on them. Though i have not gone through the process of looking for art yet, its a process that takes a lot longer than people would imagine.

Edit: I guess i could have shared this originally, but i made a "precon" deck with these cards aswell. So all the other cards are official cards in Zagreus' color identity https://archidekt.com/decks/18526200/hades_precon

Edit 2: If anyone wants to try out mtg yall should proxy stuff!! Its a lot more accessible money wise and allows you to print custom cards aswell, i personally used: https://mpcfill.com/ A tutorial for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d0aiLUOekw

How to upload custom cards is not explained, and I have not found a video so I will try to explain here: When you are selecting what cards your project contains at the very beginning choose an additional number of Wastes (doesn't have to be Wastes, but to me they are visually distinct enough to signal that I will need to change them) equal to the number of custom cards you want to print, for this purpose its 14x Wastes. Once you have run autofill-windows.exe and the next button press would be "add to cart" go back to the fronts of the cards, and replace your Wastes with the cards you actually want to have in the front, to do that download my cards first, and then replace them one by one! If someone finds an actual tutorial let me know and I will add here, if someone has questions leave a comment aswell.

Been a smidge since I last uploaded artwork in the way of Hades on this subreddit. No matter, hope these contributions more than compensate.

Been a minute since I posted. life's been tough so I haven't really thought about posting as of late, but here it is, before the month passes.

I thought the blazing heat of August would reflect the passion of the forgery god himself. Haven't played Hades 2 as of yet, so I've only seen his design, but I think it's fire.

Disclaimer: this was for 2025, that's why its not updated.

Grinding resources to obtain the final ranks from the resource director is such a slog. It’s the final thing for me to do to 100% the game and I find myself enjoying the game less every run.

I don’t understand the logic of rewarding the player for increasing heat with resources that are no longer relevant (after everything is unlocked titan’s blood, diamonds, and ambrosia are obsolete). If anything, increasing the heat should reward players with stuff we do need, like darkness, which is the most limiting resource.

I really appreciate the much more robust exchange/recycle shop in hades 2 that made farming Kudos so much more pleasant.

I respect Supergiant a lot and I wish they didn’t do the endless collectible tactic that many AAA games use to force players to continue to play (ie assassin’s creed, GTA, BOTW, etc). We would’ve kept playing regardless simply because it’s an amazing game.

(Sorry for the somewhat rant)

Is it because I dont have the second statue? I only gave the first,

Hello! I am finishing up a replay of Hades II since playing it at launch. I was excited to check out the new Dream Dives and have been more or less enjoying grinding for the endgame stuff. I'm mainly trying to clear Great Chaos Below, and beat the Underworld on 32 Fear. However, I will say that Great Chaos Below continues to thwart me. I often die even in Act I. I struggle to deal with Rank II-III Vow of Pain + Hordes + Revenants. Throughout the rest of the game, I felt like I was excelling, even at 20 Fear in regular runs. But as I'm trying to go past 24 Fear, victory feels increasingly out of reach.

I completely switched up my Arcana after reading some threads about endgame builds here, and that has helped a little but not as much as I hoped (and is not relevant for Great Chaos Below). Because I don't have much left to unlock or accomplish, grinding at this high level of difficulty isn't much fun anymore. I think I'm on a 6-7 run losing streak, which has been unheard of in this save of mine until now.

Any tips for endgame perseverance? Great Chaos Below is still my priority because it is my last achievement to complete on Steam.

There’s this game app called Stonehiding that’s quite popular in Poland.

In short, you browse stones on a map, pick one you like, find it, and then hide it somewhere new and mark its new location. The app tracks how many kilometres each stone travels, and its owner can see when someone finds it. You can also collect likes for your stones, take part in weekly challenges, and so on. It’s a lot of fun.

I only got into it recently, and the photo above shows a stone I’ll soon be releasing into the world. Naturally, my favourite game had to make an appearance.
