One tip I noticed that you can add on:
If you have one of the 5 primary boons (direct modifications to your Attack, Special, Cast, Dash, or Call), your next boon of that type offered will ALWAYS be an upgraded tier (Common -> Rare -> Epic -> Heroic)
Hey! I enjoyed the tips! thanks for the video. One note, I think the game uses "they / them" pronouns when refering to Chaos.
Choas absolutly uses They/Them. the game goes further, Nyx at one point says "They are my mother and my father," reffering to Choas. I'm so proud of SuperGiant for including NB characters in their game, it's dissapointing to see people get their pronouns wrong. It would be good to hear from Legacy on if it was a mistake.
How do you choose your starter boon? Do you just die and reset until you get it?
Hey I got some bug where zag keeps walking towards the top of the screen even when I don't press any controls
How do I fix that
I just kind of bought this game when I heard a lot of people like it. I suck at gaming, but I love it. Now when I FINALLY beat Meagara, I was so happy to never fight her again....boy did I not know shit
Take your time and enjoy the game, it truly is one of the best indies to come out, period.
@@LegacyGamingUS I am really into games with stories and choices. While I suck at know stats and dodging, I dont regret buying this game because every time I fight Meg now, I am slightly better than before 😌 everyone is gonna be done with this game and I will still be trying to survive Fields of Asphodel 😂
@@rachelmoredock Try turning on Gode Mode if you genuinely get to a point you feel you can't overcome despite repeated tries, or if you feel it's interfering with your enjoyability overall.
I feel you. I was expecting it to have some sort of a checkpoint for each major level. But then I came back from Elysium all the way to the House of Hades again. : )
Yo we have the same pf 😳
For early game, unlock the Rail gun ASAP and slap as many Artemis crit boons/Support Fire and any Daedalus ammo/speed up boons and you'll clear out rooms in seconds. If you go even further and get the Deflecting Dash on top of that, or go for the 300% special Nuke from a Daedalus hammer, you become an untouchable walking arsenal.
I prefer the triple bomb instead of 300% that may hurt you. You can use the second aspect that when using the bomb on you increases damage by 15/30/45/60 % (depending on your aspect lvl)
Rail gun????
Its an unlockable weapon after you unlock the fist.
for real though, support fire is so freaking good. all that free crowd control and extra dps.
Honestly I’m having more fun with Hades than cyberpunk 2077. 2020 was an odd year for gaming.
It’s a masterpiece, plain and simple!
Hades puts CP to shame
same, everytime i go through Cyberpunk i would always quit after an hour and play Hades for several hours to lift my mood, like cleansing my palate lmao
I out 100 hard hours into that game, just picked this up on switch and remembering what fun gameplay mechanics is again. Don't hate cp2077, it's okay, but goddam this game is polished and fun. Aaaand back to Hades.
@@AudioPhile CP is really just a shity future red red redemption or witcher. Its not that good of a game
Yeah unlock your mirror as fast as you can. Honestly some of the later options not shown in the video get so powerful. Like one where you get a % damage boost for at least 2 buffs on an enemy at the same time. It sherds late game cause by then you will have this no problem, and like 20% extra damage on any boss fight will help you. Also get in the habit of looking ahead boon wise. Go to the codex and compare when you have the option of 2 or more boons. Unless you have memorized every one, you should be looking to see what you can upgrade and looking at all possible synergies. It may seem boring at first, but it makes finding and going for synergies that much easier. Also don't get salty when you die lol. Focus on meta progression and experimentation if you hit a wall.
I recently had a run where my cast was so OP I stopped using my weapon. Lmao.
It was: Slicing shot v3, Black Metal v2, Engulfing vortex, Vicious cycle, Hunting blades. Basically huge spirals of death seeking enemies and pulling them in, doing extra damage with each consecutive hit. Actual broken build. Hades fight was like 2 minutes
Artemis: Support Fire, Athena: Divine Strike Zeus: Electric Shot, Poseidon: Poseidon’s Aid,
And Eurydice’s Keepsake: Acorn
*God* Like Run
Also, in Elysium, if you find the Charon shop item that disables Flame Wheels for a few levels, just buy it to get it out of the way. Only prophecy I have unfulfilled and am about 20 runs deep and still have not seen the blasted thing. Just get it once to get it out of the way.
Bro I had no idea about the key thing!!!! I thought I was just the worst trash that couldn’t get through, but I just learned about the keys and a few play throughs later I beat it on hell mode
I saw that i could unlock more skills in the mirror using keys BUT I played for at least 15 hours before realizing that each skill had two choices (Hades/Persephone)
If you ever played if you like Hades, I also recommend playing Skul, The Hero Slayer. It’s really addicting and fun. I almost have like a 100 hours in (every run is VASTLY DIFFERENT) it’s 2d unlike hades but it’s very fun and makes you think. BOTH GAMES ARE VERYYYYY FUN. I play both games everyday😭 (just started playing hades)
the gun weapon's shotgun-like upgrade has to be one of the best when put with good dash abilities and getting the extra dashes from your mirror and Hermes.
It's not actually the best to always grab the hammer, because you can only get 2 each run and you will most likely get another one after you leave one
If you need a certain boon go for it before you go for the hammer.
(Hammer is still an important choice) 🔨
Dude i literally just figured out the cthonic key mirror thing today before watching this haha. Crazy that nethier of us saw that u could expand it
Just started this on Xbox. Today's my Friday, can't wait to geek out on my days off.
Enjoy it! It’s one of the best games of the last few years
You have done a superb gameplay video here. Mind if I
link it in the Gaming Leaderboards discord I created with some friends?
My sleep schedule has went downhill since I started playing this game
finished my first escape on my 13th attempt. Bow is so OP , specially the 2nd aspect then pair with Crit from Artemis.
I always start with the chaos egg then change it after asphodel to the feather duster that helps me but hey it’s a game of choice
I totally missed the upgrading in the mirror 🗿
I find it funny Zag in the mythologies is used as another name for dionysus, and he is my favorite god in game.
There is a magical secret: it's called using the bow and getting explosive shot in the very beginning haha
I just got the game yesterday, I have 16 hours played
Currently 160 hours in after the release. Game is gas
Supergiant absolutely crushed this game. Glad people are taking notice
I was wondering if it’s possible to use Artemis call to fully kill the bull in the first 1v1 match with him, by using the call to knock him all the way to zero before he stops the fight ?
Which character is best when focusing on Athena Poseidon and Aphrodite?
Shield of chaos is the most op shit man,
I railed through Meg everytime I used the shield
With the 500% damage bonus and timing,you can block everything and keep dashing like a maniac...
Though I can't get past the hydra,
Because the dashing always leads me to lava,
I have gotten past hydra upto the Elysium boss once,
And now I am back to Meg...
I don't know why the....
Spoilers ahead
Meg boss changed though? It was another fury
Honestly, with the mirror, I didn't realize I could swap to the green abilities until after I beat it 😭
Thought this game looked like trash when it came out and was confused about all the hype. Come to a week ago it was on sale so I said screw it let’s get it. I cannot stop playing this game oh my god it’s so fun
this game is addicting
I'm telling you, whenever I'm buying a new game, I'm having fun with it for a couple hours then taking a break, and repeating that process over the next days.
With Hades its the same, but with like 5 hours in a row insted. I'm not using my PC for anything else, lol.
This game pisses me off to no end, and has me screaming at my TV....and then Zagreus calmly rises from the pool of blood, and I mutter to myself, "Just one more run." THAT is why this game has it's hooks in me right now
yes it is. I told myself just one more run and before I know it an hour has passed.
Seriously, like when I first played it I was like "okay this is fun!" Now I'm sitting here watching tips and tricks waiting till I can play again"
... just a bit less than the love child of heroin&cocaine in the form of a cigarette while having a glass 🥃
You know the character designs are god tier when the artist takes something that's been done a million times and makes you want to see these characters in other media besides this game. I would watch the shit out of a hades animated series amongst other things. The characters look so fucking good.
For real. The voice acting is also top tier for most characters
OMG The voice acting!!
i need a full fledged graphic novel/comic book series
Ehm... Animated series? Oh, yes. Ehm. I totally thought the same when you said "other media"...
Кров Зевса 👹
It wasn't until I was more than 20 hours in that I realized there were 2 options to choose from the Mirror.
SAME HAHA
nice, 19h in and a big thank you
Same
there are dozens of us. DOZENS!
Took me a while too. Also just realized last night that the different aspects of the weapons have to be equipped after you unlock them, it's not just an add on.
I think I underestimated Hermes in the early runs, either the extra dash boon or the one that increases movement speed is such a huge help for the final boss.
Yeah, especially if you also Chill Hades. Chilling him makes it much easier.
Omg, that's exactly what I'm doing, hermes dash+speed and chill is so good against Hades
And if you get rush delivery that extra move speed also gets you extra damage witch is just awesome
@@cocomunga what
@@bait5257 have you got to hades yet?
Give your first Nectar to Skelly... you get an upgradeable Death Defiance out of it. Really useful in the first few runs.
Or Cerberus, it gives u extra health
That little green blob girl, (Desus? Or something).. her upgrade put health in urns. I found it better than the tooth bcuz it prevents dying to begin with.
@@TheLuckyShepherd the little green blob is Dusa, as in Medusa. She's just a flying head because Perseus cut off her head.
@@jasonaschan1723
Oh wow I didn't know that. That's awesome thanks bro.
@@TheLuckyShepherd She's a maid too so it's a play on words Maid-Dusa, hilarious.
Hades is the epitome of a game where you tell yourself "just one more run" over and over.
I know this was a year ago lol but I was up till 3 am just trying to get further and further. Finally reached Elysium in my last run.
Trials
Theres a fated choice logo next to the boons you havent chosen yet. Hunt these for prophecy rewards. They are also on the boon list you can bring up. Its helpful when planning for duo boons
Solid tip
@@LegacyGamingUS (That's what she said)
And the Codex Index required for the boon list of each god to appear in the Codex requires finding (or accepting) at least one from each types of boons (normal, rare, epic, heroic, legendary, duo). Then the Codex Index will appear in the Contractor's list. I might be wrong, though, especially about the "rare, epic, heroic, legendary" parts.
Here is a tip, find Cerberus and give him a juicy steak. I'll be waiting.
user name checks out
how do you find a steak for him ?
@@cinialvespow1054 It was a joke,look at the guys name
@@cinialvespow1054 Easy: Brutally murder the minotaur in Elysium
@@Ardorstorm :))
This game's soundtrack is so fucking dope. The solo bass on the pause screen is so cool too.
yeah, its really cool
I get heavy doom eternal vibes from it and I'm not complaining
As a bass player it felt good to be the primary instrument in a game ost
I love the bass only on the pause screen. What a great touch
The composer also voices Zagreus and Skelly.
Fun fact! The game really wants you to have two Daedalus hammers by the end of your run (not counting Charon’s anvil in Styx). So if you encounter a door with a hammer and a door with, say, a Hermes boon or a desperately needed centaur heart, feel free not to choose the hammer. If you don’t have two Daedalus upgrades by the time you complete an area of the underworld, one usually shows up in the shop. So yes, the hammers are important, but if you see something else you’d rather have, go for it! Unless you deliberately ignore the hammers, it’s pretty much impossible not to get two of them by the end of your run.
I didn't know that and gave up some god boons I wanted for the hammer, thank you very much for the info!
I had to run for the Health Fountain instead of the Daedalus earlier…that hurt, but strategically it needed to be done.
…..I’ve beaten the game and did not know Charon had an anvil? Wild.
JT Gwozdz It’s the thing that costs 275 obols in Charon’s Styx shop. It’s at the top-right of his wares. It automatically removes one random hammer upgrade you have and then at the same time gives you two new hammer upgrades (again, randomly chosen)
"Its impossible to not grab an item unless you decide not to"
Well yes. It would be
Here's a tip for bow players: attacking right after dashing makes your attack charge faster. This is REALLY important if you ever wanna finish a run with the fourth aspect of the bow!
it tells you the moveset of every weapon when you equip it in the weapon chamber
@@4cmd it does, but no matter how many times I did the dash attack for the bow I never noticed a difference with the regular attack until someone pointed it out for me
@@hekirb3382 yes but it also makes your attack weaker.
Good tip. I accidentally found it out quickly. I’m struggling to get past 15 floors or so with the bow, but I’m only a few hours in.
@@Vik1919 No it doesn’t. I tested that specific theory on Skelly, Front and Back Stabs do correct damage.
A little tip for your build creation : you can have only 4 gods (excluding hermes) on a single run, meaning that once yoy've picked 4 boons from 4 different gods, you can't have boons from other gods (say that you took a boon from zeus, poseidon, athena and demeter, you will not be able to get boons from dionysus, ares, aphrodite or artemis).
Solid tip, had no idea this was a set rule!
you can change to a keepsake to avoid this, just had a run with 6x5% dmg bonus from the nyx mirror
Awesome tip! Probably why I've got 48 hours in the game and didn't know Demeter was one of the boon goddesses!
@@fablefan69 Demeter should automatically show up the first time you reach Hades
@@LegacyGamingUS because it isnt. you can have boons from more than 4 but the game will give heavier weight to gods that you have boons from (i.e. if you have ares, artemis, zeus and poseidon, youre more likely to find their boons again so you can make a build with their boons). i think her may be referring to the game having only 4 skill set boons but you can still get other auxiliary boons like revenge damage, artemis abse crit buff, ares all damage buff, demeter/dinosyus fountain buff, etc.
Enemies take damage when they fall into the lava in Asphodel, so get those Poseidon boons to push them into it.
Great tip, thanks for sharing Toni
Unless they are flying enemies...
Flying-ranged enemis can be a pain to kill
Indra K
*You’ve been invited to Witch Circle*
The same mechanic allows you to deal extra damage to enemies when you push them on to walls.
This is literally one of the best games I’ve ever played. I’m so glad this has been added to consoles
Such a blast I can’t get enough of this game
Game is an absolute masterpiece. Like a true rare 10/10. It achieves everything it wants to be with utter perfection.
Legendary status for me.
I don't recall being as impressed since Hollow Knight.
@@jonnyeh i have both Hollow Knight and Hades and I think they’re both masterpieces...But Hades is so addictive and fantastic
@@PistolPete1251 Hollow is just a worse Ori, kind of weird metroidvania, and is not that satisfying, I still like Hollow Knight, but that game doesnt,, scream" into my head,, joy". It was fun, but not every part of it. Meanwhile in Hades, you are glad that you even die because even the dying in this game is enjoyable
NO truer words have been spoken
Hades is the only game that I really don't have any problems with
Me when Chaos doesn’t ask for my life force in exchange for their boon: 👁👄👁
When talking about keepsakes I think it's really good to mention Dusa's feather duster.
It has a certain % chance to drop HP when breaking urns.
It has gotten me pretty far.
Dusa gang
Yup. She helped me beat Hades on my 14th run. The extra bit of health is always helps.
Sadly you can only level it up to 6% but thats still not bad
Yes, it‘s a great help for beginners I feel. The more skilled you get at dodging the more practical become other keepsakes imo.
Dusa best waifu
Much more forgiving than a lot of recent roguelikes. You WILL get something from each run, rather than having to get to certain checkpoints or rooms in oprder to make perma upgrades.
mind spilling the title of those less forgiving roguelikes?
@Hendrick Young probably dead cells is one
@@hendrickyoung5359basically every rouge like ever.. not sure if you're kidding or genuinely curious but hades is probably pretty easily the easiest roguelike I've ever played. It doesn't even step to hard roguelikes such as Issac or Dead cells, imo it's not even as hard as say gungeon or cotl.
One of my favorite strats is starting with Cthonic Coinpurse (Hypnos’s keepsake) giving a head start on gold then switching to skelly’s tooth after the first boss.
Chthonic Coinpurse pairs really well with the Deep Pockets talent to make sure you can buy what you need for a run.
You can actually give Nectar to Chaos. The Keepsake you get from this, when equipped, lets you enter a chaos gate without spending health. Since boons from Chaos are the best in the game provided you can survive the debuff period, definitely equip this if you're serious about chasing power.
Also a reason to consider passing up a Daedalus hammer: Some of the offers can drastically change your moveset, such as the sword's basic attack being a slow and heavy downward chop, or turning your Adamant Rail into a shotgun with melee range and reduced ammo. If you're getting ready to fight satyrs in Styx, maybe now isn't a good time to find out what that fated choice option does.
2:03 "Personally, I always start with an Athena boon"
I did so too at first, but it was a rookie mistake.
The start of the game is the worst possible time to wear Athena's Keepsake.
The best starting Athena boons are Divine Dash (large-area Deflect) and Phalanx Cast (massive AoE damage).
Until all 5 "standard" Boon slots (Attack, Special, Call, Cast, or Dash) are filled, the game will offer you the Boons to fill empty slots.
And if you don't block the Attack, Special, and Call with other gods' Boons, your chances of getting Dash or Cast from Athena will be 20% each rather than 50%.
Not at this time. I'm quite busy. Give Jay a call. Do you have his number?
Four
I will give the single most important thing someone can learn. Give the skeleton outiside the room nectar and use his gift only when you are low hp in the begining of a new zone or after elysium. Oh and also upgrade full death defiance and dash first
or spiked collar if you have 3 death defiances remaining
Keep in mind if you're trying to use the tooth keep sake to save losing a death defiance, the keepsakes effect gets used last, not first.
Me personally, I always just use whichever weapon has dark thirst. Gives a good balance of using different weapons plus extra darkness
0:28 This! There really is no secret to beating (not finishing) the game. I upgraded my death defiance to +3 and funnily enough the first time I beat Hades, I didn't even die the whole run. You kinda just get better the more you play. There's still so much more to do after you beat him once though.
Talks about choosing a keepsake to insure a boon from a God, shows Hermes.
🤣
😂😂😂
me buying the game
Legacy Gaming the next day: Tips and tricks you could have used
If you switch out your keepsakes, you lose the bonuses earned relating to that run
Holy shit, you just blew my world. Never changing out the Pierced Butterfly again
@@LegacyGamingUS Like a comment so people can relate; thanks, I know. 60 hours later :D
Could you explain what you meant? What bonuses are lost - could you give me an example? :o
@@ImmortalNaitsirhc For example if you get +20% from the Pierced Butterfly, but then you take it off mid-run, you lose that 20% bonus. You have to continue to use the keepsake for the buff!
1MantisPhoenix I learned that when I switched out the pierced butterfly partway during a run and I lost the attack boost...
I made the mistake of entering a Chaos Gate before a boss once. Got a boon that halved my speed for the next three encounters just before Theseus and Asterius. Needless to say, I didnt survive.
God I never knew about the extra perks in the mirror!
Edit: and I'm like 70 hours in
Very easy to miss, don't feel bad =)
They are not really extra, just alternatives (only one - green or violet - can be active at a time for each row). I feel that this is important to mention.
Happened to download this just before my father passed and started playing it on Bereavment. What a great game to explore a lot of those feelings with.
Another note was that I spent 40 days with Lost Ark before playing Hades and it reminded me why MMO elements are just not fun. Everyone talks about the combat in LA but Hades is better without all the time wasting stuff.
You feel invisible with all your boons and upgrades until you encounter Theseus and the Minotaur
Hades doom damage and athenas deflect dash helped a lot against these two
@@PistolPete1251 lol never mind. I chew through those two like it's nothing now
I just hit hades and minotaur and youre right.
1) Now for how to cheese the game: get enough titan blood to fully upgrade your sword.
2) Get Excalibur
3) trigger special once and press attack till bad man goes away
4) collect all the attack upgrades(artemis for attack, preferably)
5)get to 400 health
6) face tank Daddy without sweat
400?! 😳😳😳
I don't worry about upgrading my Health past 100 since that's the most you get back for the next life. Play defensively and you don't have to worry about health as much
@@TheCrown1313 you get half your hp with death defiance’s so if you have 400 then ur next life is 200
Thanks for the tip! I use Excalibur in combination with the Lambent Plume. So I clear the room fast for that dodge chance. Get the Hermes boon to make my special faster. And last time I had a boon of Artemis so that my attack had a chance to deal critical damage. All this + support fire = arrows and damage everywhere. Got to try getting more health next time with this build
isn't Chaos referred to by they/them? like this is some primordial ancient elder god, they don't have a gender
Am I the only one hoping they man an anime with that art style??!!
Blood of Zeus on Netflix was pretty enjoyable imo, only one szn out rn. Not exactly the same art style though
maybe give Castlevania on Netflix a shot. The general mod is somewhat close
alright im gonna spill the secret to easily beating hades: artemis x ares duel boon
@running guy He spoils the athena boon and IM THE BAD GUY?!?!?!
Killer combo: the sword, with the hammer upgrades Cursed Slash (+2 health per attack) and Furry Slash (quick attack). Get an Athena deflect boon on attack. Boom, you're invincible. Hold the attack button and go to town.
I got something similar to this on like my 3rd time playing the game, I made it all the way to the 3rd level boss within the first hour of booting up the game for the first time. I've never found that Cursed Slash since that time.
Hades is fantastic and totally addictive. Just recently got it on switch and i cant put it down. Definitely one of my favorite indies along with Dead Cells and Hollow Knight.
HADES starter pack tip: get the keys first - get the bow/shield - give nectar to ares for keepsake - doom on your special - and just like that it's a walk in the park
solid set of tips, thanks for sharing!
just tried this with 4th bow aspect, and beat a run on heat lvl 5 with no deaths. it was gnarly. thx for the tip :)
@@beatshack I'm on my 90th escape attempt actually and the strongest I've used so far was the Zeus/Poseidon duo. But before any of that, DOOM took care of everything.. I've not met anyone who survived DOOM even on high heat levels. It's broken!😂😂😂
wow this advice is no joke. I had never beaten the elysium duo bosses before. Got an early ares boon, so gave him a nectar and put on his keepsake in asphodel. Then managed to escape, beating the final boss on my first try!
Athena's call + ares synergy is even crazier, pop that call and get 5 free point blank bow special backstabs for maximum damage.
Why is it good on the shield? Because you can apply it from range?
@@RaidsEpicly yes.. and if you're lucky enough, which is almost always, get the daedalus "bounce 3 or 4 times on special" .. it's over! all you do is right click and dash.. you don't even need to look at the screen..🤣🤣🤣
AND I SIR, have played dark souls, risk is not always worth it lol
LOL...truth
Walked down a long dark hallway in Bloodborne that turned out to be a dead end with just a message on the floor.
It said, "Be Wary of Inquisitiveness."
Curiosity killed the cat, gave humankind power, and caused souls gamers countless deaths.
Excellent video, I wish I'd found it sooner. I have 60 hours on Hades and I was still unaware of some of this information. You have my gratitude and I wish your Channel continued success.
There is a magical secret that will instantly get you better at Hades. It is called luck and playing the game.
Not gonna lie, that shit made me laugh
To anyone reading these comments looking for more tips, I find using hermes dash sprint boon is very useful, it gives you 0.5 secs of immunity after dashing but you can chain them and also it boosts speed by 100% for that time so you move much faster whilst being more defensive, also zeus lightning dash can get very powerful with this combination, also to those who are trying to get more cash/essence/gems quicker sometimes posiden gives some useful % boosts on pickups and also drops, I got 60% boost then I got him again and chose the rewards bundle and got a bunch of stuff including some nectar
I always do Ares's Doom + Athena's divine dash level them up as much as I can. (aegis shield) Then Demeter's cast. oof. has gotten me so far
I love Poseidons dash🏊🏿♀️ literally by the level 3, you can easily kill enemies by simple passing by them.
chaos...he? chaos has no gender, chaos is everything and nothing at the same time
In original Greek mythology "Chaos" or "Abyss" wasn't even a person it was just a void state preceding the creation of the universe. It's a concept from the Theogony of Hesiod.
Yeah Chaos is also referred to as “they/them” whenever the characters mention their name. Looks like this RUclipsr either didn’t care to get it right or he just overlooked it
I'm enjoying the game and it sure is addicting, but... It's also discouraging that it sends you alllll the way back to the beginning. I wish it would just send you back to the beginning of the current level/floor. And the "God mode"!in this game is just stupid. It's not a god mode, at all. Pretty pathetic. I wish they would come out with an actual God mode because I am really getting bummed. Probably end up quitting and...it's a shame, too, because it's otherwise very enjoyable.
Start your run with the coin purse and then switch at the end of the first level to the bone hourglass budgeting correctly you should have lots of well blessings for the rest of the run. but take it off right before the final level and equip something else. either a god specific boon or something to help defense.
There is a hierarchy of value in the rewards you get. New players don't realize it but gems are the worst reward in the game to chose. 5 gems for a room when it's 10 gems for a key...and keys are also a terrible reward that quickly loses most of it's value after you have unlocked the weapons and mirror upgrades. Nectar however is the best common repeatable reward and should always be chosen when it's available, unless there is a Daedalus hammer. if you upgrade the proper contract you can also get a +1 to a random boon when you pickup nectar. which is the same as a small pom slice.
Some boons may seem underwhelming but have several associated boons that you unlock by having it that are far more powerful. But beware as occasionally you can upgrade yourself with something that makes you less effective in combat. for example I had the trident/spear weapon and was doing great until I found an upgrade that said "your dash strike with hit 3 times but your dash distance is reduced" it completely unmade a perfect run as I could no longer get away from enemies like brightswords that tend to hunt down slower players. hadn't taken a hit before I picked it up. I burned through 4 lives and was dead before the end of that same level. (Elysium)
Thanks for sharing!
Key rooms give you an additional fated authority or fated persuasion choice.
No one mention it but, key, gems nectar are become very valuable letter when you have access to trade it, it on the room where kitchem reside basically you can swith those item with somethinh more valuable like titan blood, i think the trade goes like this
Trade key for gems
Trade gams for diamond
Trade diamond for some kind nectar?
Finally Trade that nectar to titan blood
The point is, you can have titan blood, with a bunch of key and gems
Divine Dash is the literal GOAT Boon, I get it anytime I can
Made it once to the final boss un a early. Can't even come close nowaday
on the mirror of night i didnt realize that you could switch boosts from pink effects to green ones by pressing the [ i> l
Oh baby, your world just completely changed! Have fun =)
Also Dionysus boons are trash. Only one worth getting is Strong Drink
High quality content bro I love it! You've earned another sub.
I learned nothing... still left a like tho ;)
I bought it yesterday and i cant beat up Meg no matter what i do.
Edit: well, well, well... guess who finally did it!
Im so happy!
At the end of the game or the final dungeon or level of underworld, Charon will be there and he'll sell some diamonds and titans blood for about 1200 coins, so if you save enough coins you'll be having having easy time getting upgrades for your weapons or for the underworld itself
chaos uses they/them pronouns not he/him!!!
Chaos is a cool guy
This and Dead Cells are my favourite games ever.
Favorite roguelikes/lites for sure. Hades, Enter the Gungeon and Dead Cells.
@@Vik1919 I thought Gungeon was fun until I played any other roguelike
I hope this game spreads like the plague it’s so good. They do so much to make my so far 70 hours of game play feel like I’m still discovering new story lines or new builds Etc, this is probably the only rougelite I’ve played were I feel really invested in the characters and wanting to learn more about them and the over all story as well as the core gameplay loop being my favorite out of the binding of Isaac type of rougelite series
Hades is the best Rouge lite together with risk of rain 2 Imo.
Brot brotsen dead cells in top 3 then
Best gameplay loop I've ever experienced.
@@brotbrotsen1100 cant just ignore isaac like that
@@pphillips4586 That's true Isaac was the first rouge lite i played and has a special place in my heart definitely the one with the most replay value and coolest items and build possibilities.
Small correction, but Chaos uses they/them pronouns. Good tips though!
These tips were as confusing as the game itself. Too much too fast, it just overwhelms me with amount of choices I cannot possibly remember.
I always run the keepsake that makes it cost no health to enter the chaos place and gives higher rarity chance, then will swap to the lucky tooth after the first boss
Max out Death Defiance and pick up Skelly's Lucky Tooth keepsake as soon as possible
Alright so i would not choose to get Athena at the start. Instead try to get the keepsake that gives you bonus damage (Thanatos) or dodge chance (Hermes). If you get used to the gameplay, you can get a lot of buffs from the first area since the amount of enemies is quite low.
Second spend you nectar! Give it to everyone, not only does it give you new stories to discover but people will give you stuff. For example, you need to get your rank almost maxed out with certain characters in order to get the legendary keepsakes (the keepsakes that are at the bottom of your collection).
For the third item, upgrade your mirror until you have 3 resurrections. This is huge for getting further in the game and can make your run more forgiving.
And for the final item, get gems to make upgrades using the contractor. This can add gold cans to encounters, give you bonus health, infernal cashes contain more reward, ... Although only start doing this after you mirror is upgraded.
Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing 👍🏻
Also the contractor can make your room a cool color, and everybody knows that makes you better at the game
@@harrylane4 Don't forget the disco ball for the lounge. That's a free run from Hades himself
I usually take the coin purse for act 1. Then the shopkeepers hourglass for the rest of the run.
Be careful, if you unequip thanatos or hermes' keepsakes you loose the bonuses
“Add to favourite”. Thx for the tips! Love this game !
Chaos uses they/them pronouns. Adding a non-binary character was huuuuge! :D
always take the hammer, this isn't starting well
When you say, "Hades is a true Rogue-like," what you really mean is, "Hades is a Rogue-LITE."
Rogue was a game that set you to ZERO when you died. There was no progression outside of how far you made it in the game.
Yeah, to me a "true rogue like" must be a turn based tile dungeon crawler. You know, a game that's like Rogue was. We're talking Nethack, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Angband, Tales of Maj'Eyal - and even the Mystery Dungeon series.
Maybe I'm being pedantic but to me it's like calling Gears of War a First Person Shooter. It might share a common element (shooting) but it's not an FPS game as it lacks the defining feature of being in first person.
@@Weaver_Games I would even argue that it doesn't necessarily need to be 'turn-based' to be a 'Rogue-like'... for me the most defining characteristic was the lack of a progression system.
@@Weaver_Games I'm old enough to remember when FPS games were still called "Doom clones", which always annoyed me since Doom itself was a Wolfenstein 3D clone
Once you've acclimated to the game, starting with Poseidon's Keepsake and re-rolling off the bat until you get Tidal Dash. No other single boon does as much epic work as Tidal Dash.
The range is bigger than any other dash attack. Its base dmg is higher than any other, and can get bonus damage from knocking enemies into walls or pillars or corners. Don't even get me started on permanent applying Razor Shoals, the most-reliable source of heavy DoT. Knock baddies into spikes, lava, the knight statues on Elysium, the saw blades in Styx.
Poseidon is #1. I've done full weaponless runs that do not ever use my weapon. Dash and cast only. Try it. Poseidon is the best.
Just got to a room in the first level where I had to choose between Athena and Artemis and I choose Athena’s boon cause I like the reflect dash, Artemis of course got pissed, but after surviving her little aoe attacks the combination between hers and Athena’s boons carried me all the way to my first Minotaur encounter, I love it
Here's a tip- choose permanent rewards over rewards for a single run, at least at first. What I mean by this is that Darkness, Gems, Keys & Nectar are all permanent, while coins, Boons & Centaur Hearts are only for use for your current escape attempt. So, instead of working towards an escape that is almost impossible with your current equipment, take a few runs to simply collect currency, & when you feel you are prepared, start the run & this time only go for Boons. However, seeing as the preparation will take up most of your playtime, you should also take the time to see the Boons of each God, obtain the keepsakes of your favourite Gods, & use their Boons to help you last longer. You should have plenty of time to do this, as with my current experience, I was in many situations where I had no choice but to enter a room containing a Boon, as there were no permanent currency related rooms available. Hope this helped a little bit
