Eris be like: “Too fast. Too soon.”
8 f**kin’ bears
Eris is the true villain.
I think the Hecate keepsake is meant to be a form of bolstering your early-game until you can get another form of magik restoration
I hadn’t thought about it that way. Very good point
Exactly. Once you unlock the ability to change keepsakes, it really comes across as a “use your omega moves liberally at the start of the run before you get a Magick recovery boon, then swap off for another keepsake after Hecate”
Re: the first boss fight being a "cute" fight this time, I think it's because you managed to match the rhythm of Hecate's attacks. For instance, teleporting/dashing into the center of that ring she makes, getting your damage in, then dashing back out as the ring shrinks again. The most well-designed boss fights have those moments that make you feel like you're in sync with how the devs intended the fight to work, that make it all feel like a choreographed and satisfying dance.
In short, I agree. This fight was great.
I Will Claw (out your eyes and drown you to death) is absolutely my favorite of the siren songs, even if they are all amazing
Can't wait for fishing to get unlocked, there was great designs in the first.
Also love the design of Chronos, it shows his history of being torn apart to create the lands
"You think you can catch me?"
Chronos: Why yes, I think I shall.
The soundtrack of this game is fantastic but I always look forward to Scylla's song
That echo thing seems to be possibly very busted,if you had gotten the hammer last from the previous room you could have gotten another one,that's crazy,meaning the play in that zone is taking the most valuable thing last just in case
Do we know if the repeat reward option will even show up if the item you last picked up was a hammer? But yeah, it does seem like picking up the most valuable reward last is a good idea
@@Rz2750 turns into last boon from what I can tell
@@Rz2750This literally happened to me today at the current version and i can confirm i just got a second hammer
There's a new Hex that gives you a demon form, it's AMAZING
The mana regen keepsake will be A LOT more useful once you can swap keepsakes in between zones. You could use a different keepsake for the earlier zones then swap to Hecate's to have that mana regen boost for the last zone and boss
The "nothing personel kid move"
The expensive ultimates might be better than originally expected now that we know there are some very long rooms at the end of the run. Since you can probably charge them reliably in those end rooms
The first time I got to last zone I had an axe attack build and I didnt even notice the rats existed
I found an incredible Aphrodite boon that said if you have at least 80% health when you leave a room, you heal to full health. Each upgrade lowered how much health you needed to activate it. Made a very strong run with the axe because I could tank one or two hits, till I hit a boss and they dropped be below that threshold.
I think that Hecate's Silver Wheel is designed for low-skill players that are having trouble with the game. It gives amateur players infinite magic for (x) number of rooms before it runs out. They can then use it to farm Bones, Ashes, and Psyche in Erebus, which is one way to make your character more powerful since you can use them to unlock more Arcana cards.
love ur commentary with the game
Of the three(or more?) NPCs mid-run, Arachne is easily my favorite.
Time is of the essence.

1:15:17 "You will never get this, you will never get this"

Damn, not the Ally I expected to see in the final zone. Ironic that they're being kept in the same room Sisyphus was imprisoned in. Also, I couldn't tell, but was poor Bouldy destroyed?
Doesn"t seem like bouldy was destroyed, although they might have............hair( 55:18 )?
@@Blashphemous_Immortal I... never even noticed that was sisyphus' room. Bouldy is rockin a moss afro
55:17 Bouldy not a baldy anymore, he got a toupee.
Absolutely an amazing series, and hope it continues
I can hear the Nick Cage coming from Narcissus honestly. According to the wiki, his voice actor is Darren Korb, who voiced the main character in the first one(and also Skelly) and was also the composer for Transistor.
He's the composer for all the games! Supergiant started as a very small team, and the same few people have done the vast majority of work ever since then. They've got a great series of behind the scenes documentaries on RUclips!
When I heard it I thought it was the guy who voiced “the boulder” from ATLA.
30 Bones, for each Ambrosia after the end of your run from the Broker.
I got a really good use of that ult when the upgrade path for it gave me "the beam fires from where you used it and you don't have to stand still" plus "you fire three beams in a fan shape" - on larger enemies, such as bosses, I could position it so all three beams would hit and rack up 6-7K damage in the 4s it was active. Otherwise I have found times I can fire it while fighting Chronos, but it is tricky
Good thinking on skipping the coins in tartarus, was thinking the same thing.
And yeah skellys trinket is gonna be a massive help, especially when you unlock swapping.
I think the biggest thing that makes Eris feel bad is that there’s no workarounds or benefits, and there’s not much variety, so it just feels like you’re being punished for getting through the game. It’s one thing to add difficulty spikes or tough trade-offs, but she doesn’t have interesting mechanics to make it feel like an actual difficulty spike instead of artificially slowing players down. It also messes with her character, she seems to think she’s helping or being a companion, but she literally only hurts. Makes sense for strife incarnate, but still.
A simple change to make it better would be to, while starting with a downside and no obvious upsides to keep the theme of strife and Melinoe’s frustration, still have give bonuses whenever you clear an area with it. Like, you take more damage, but after each area boss you get a flat increase to all damage you do. Enemies have more health, but after each area boss you get some free health. Everything costs more magick, but you start to passively regenerate more magick passively once you beat a boss. This makes them more of an interesting trade-off, and makes you change your play style, without just punishing. It also balances itself out, where meeting Eris in earlier areas means you do better early on, so you don’t die as easily and go into bosses with a better position, but in return you don’t get the benefits of more bosses with Eris.
But it is supposed to be punishing. It’s not meant to make you change your play style or give trade-offs, the entire point is to keep you from progressing too fast too soon. Which I kinda like. A lot of this game happens outside the runs, and they want to show you that stuff before you get too deep towards the final boss.
1:04:33 I think he had weakness from your cast, not from the guaranteed 1 weak enemy changing
Thank you for these. We love you.
Would be nice if Eris would be changed to give you doubled edged damage instead of just take more damage.
Awesome run!!! Gosh, I am always impressed with your skill :D
I agree that it is a missed opportunity that Chronos doesn't say anything if you try to leave before talking to him xD
I wonder how people can give the team feedback, it seems like the Eris "blessings" are super unpopular with players. (thinking emoji)
Eris: very clear "hold on" mechanic to make new players not experience the entire game in one run by accident
Reto: NOOOO >:(
It is a roguelike, you replay it. If you've experienced all of a roguelike in one successful run it is a bad roguelike. I do not believe that Hades II is a bad roguelike, and thus it shouldn't need the most hamfisted progress roadblock mechanic I've ever seen added to one.
If a player is good enough to go through the whole game in one run,they should be able to,also how "accident" you actively tried to kill the bosses
I never met Erys in the underground
@@Retromation Don't worry, there is still the way up too!
@@Retromation I actually kinda like it as a difficulty curve in the Way that it forces you to beat New areas at much higher difficulty until Eris leaves, at which point you are not only more comfortable with the locale but you also no longer feel as constrained by the damage bonus
The ult should just slow you down rather than make u a sitting duck. Its payout isnt high enough to justified the stand still at all.
So what I'm hearing is you're fighting a Minecraft villager with all the Hmms XD
Hopefully, he gets more lines in the future! The pain of early access is the limited stuff... I've heard Melinoe say "no traitor to the House shall go unpunished" so much, I'm sure 1.0 will have more. xD
@@franksonatra Indeed hopefully so!
I think I might need two of these a day.. Do I need a prescription so you can do that?
try pausing in the Chronos fight
23:50 I'm sure she's gonna be bisexual like with Hades 1, but this exchange feels so much like a lesbian thing to say. I love her
Would be funny, if you could give Chronos a gift.😁
7:19 For Poseidon, his Attack and Special Boons seem best fit for the 3rd weapon, maybe the 5th one too, but otherwise rather bad. The defensive boons though...oof, those can be really great.
Not gonna lie the healing dress has helped me on a few occasions.
Love this game and your Game Play
In the last vid, the wall hitbox is already really odd, some of ur attack just hit the wall instead like ur inside of it.
omg I just realized I have basically everyone's gift but the skeleton's
I wonder how they will explain some of these encounter after defeating Kronos? Because it doesn't really make sense for Hades and Cerberus to still be trapped where they are. Kronos coming back could just be some sort of weird time loop he makes with his powers.
Yeee number one love your content always go to you if I wanna see if a game is good or not or just how to beat some of the harder games
1:18:04 Homer is the narrator?
Yes, he was also the narrator of the first game.
Bruhh, once the short girl with the gun ends with her curse nonsense... Like, that's so frustrating! I understand the reason but then again...
love the series, but also love greek/roman mythology. the little inconsistencies BUG me.
I wonder who this mysterious stranger truly is...
Hades hades
Man based on your arcana/grasp progress I really suck... I've got way more unlocked and I haven't even gotten past sirens yet. I think I need to spend less time watching your runs and more time practicing mine
Don't beat yourself up, he's crazy good to a level that breaks the game. It's his job after all
As long as you can still actively unlock stuff, you´re fine. At some point, you´re going to need materials from later areas, and at that point you´ll know it´s time to "get gud".
I hope they change the Eris "blessing" later.
I guess smaller challenges you can play around would be even fun, but who knows
(also, is there a song subtitle option? Would be cool to read the Scylla lyrics, but if you would be bothered by it then no worries!)
the song is on their Chanelle and the lyrics ar absolutely amazing
And there is an option to turn on subs for it in-game. (For anyone interested.)
Ah, you went for Aprhodite cuz of the defensive stuff? mhm? definitely the ONLY reason anyone would go Aphrodite lmao
You'd be surprised that she's a defense specialist. Her nano-bikini armor that she's wearing has a nearly infinite defense.
@@LordDragox412 she dont even wear no bikini bruh😭
@@yourneighbourargus3976 Yes she does, you just can't see it due to it's nano size. As is common knowledge, the more revealing the armor, the more defense it gives. Thus, by making it so that the armor is only a few particles big, Aphrodite's defense stat is 99,(9...)%, making her the tankiest of the gods.
@@LordDragox412 i know the meme, but she fr straight up wearin nothin LMFAO
Plesa stop ignoring the omega cast. It's really good against swarms like the little fishes.
