I think it’s more a mechanic to challenge the speed runners, but it is lore accurate as far as Eris’ personality is concerned. Remember, this is the goddess that started the beauty contest that eventually snowballed into the Trojan War.
Yes, I had many runs ruined because of her. I had good chances in fighting the final boss a few times. In all runs besides one that I got to the final boss, I died with him having less than 15% hp left. I don't know if I would have killed him without her intervention, but at the very least I would have gotten to see how his final phase looked like so I knew what to expect when I actually kill him. Surprisingly the first time she stopped appearing I won against him even without knowing about his second form beforehand.
I will 100% support them if, assuming Pact of Punishment or some variation of it enters the game, they straight up have a Pact that, at the start of the run, Eris *immediately* gives you one of her "curses" or whatever it's called in the game. Or even Hell Mode.

@@Crowbar Short answer - no Long asnwer: Pact of Punishment is very cheap and fake way supergiant made their game "difficult". Increase HP of enemies, increase their damage, increase damage of traps, make enemies ignore up to two instances of damage, make game reduce choice of your boons essentially blocking any coherent choice making, make it take away one boon, make everything much more expensive, put sadistic timer on levels, take away your invisibility frames, nullify your mirror upgrades. Only interesting setting is extreme measures but even it after couple of runs will be something you get used to. And you have to complete runs with it on heat+1 with every weapon to get resources (which are completely different problem of game), over and over god damn again and more heat it you set, more unfun it becomes because you start to notice how blatanly boring way they did all these difficulty tweaks. Considering the game becomes festival of rng at higher heat, sometimes it becomes restart simulator to get perfect starter
I figured she shows up the further you get or when the game wants you to go back in order to trigger whatever story flag or dialogue just to keep things smooth between runs. Still a pain when she drops in right at Tartarus.
First attempt too. And third. It seems to be in place to make the story advance more smoothly, which only happens at the hub. They want to encourage players to see more dialogue without outright baring progress.
Yeahhhhh, I got something like that too. When I beat Sirens, I also beat Cerberus, so Eris fucked me up for Tartarus. Still made it all the way to the big man, but then he was dealing 40-ish damage to me per hit.
Damn, I didn't realize that's what that was for lmao, I just thought I got unlucky when I beat the first boss on my first run and she slapped me with a debuff immediately afterwards.
Oh didn't know she could show up in the Field of Mourning. I first met her in Tartarus after an absolutely fucking cracked run that barely had any right making it past Scylla, let alone Cerberus. Key was the invincibility hex, and Hephaestos's damage reduction + magic regen on hit. It should be mentioned that this was also the first time I cleared Oceanus. And I barely squeaked by in the Fields of Mourning, beat Cerberus....and this bitch just gave me a "You take +20% damage" debuff and I immediately ate shit and died in the first room of Tartarus. I think this was before I had any Death Defiance too.
I got this twice, the first time when I finally got to Tartarus and the second somewhere in the mourning fields. I got decimated both times soon after 😂
I met her twice in every new zone, I though it was scripted like that. Twice on Oceanus, Twice on Fields and Twice on House of Hades I was sure this was just a forced roadblock to prevent me from finishing the game in 3 runs, as I did with Hades 1
To be honest i don't mind its an extra difficulty spike if your too good at the game it helps beter the experience for those who think its to ez and by doing soo also slows u down giving u more time to get stronger and unlock everything before u finish the game, the only bad part is Chronos now slaps me for 76 health with a single attack... so not beating that any time soon.
Ooooh the point is to make you fail? I encountered her on the last floor the very first time I got there and I thought it was a game mechanic where she "blesses you" each time you get there lol
I want to beat Chronos night 1 but she keeps appearing either before the sewers or right there. I don't like receiving 55% more damage from Infernal Beast (Cerberus) while I do almost nothing.
well we're at it someone tell aphrodite that zag is currently frozen in time so to stop messaging him hes not ignoring you and as a goddess of love and war do something more
After first run I instantly said: If I have 350hrs in Hades and lost the first run so quickly, the game might be much harder to win first run than in Hades. Then I saw eris on every next run for like 10 runs and was like: Yeah, so basically the devs want you dead the first 10 or so runs just coz. Fine. (Won a run where eris was in the fields, jokes on you SG games lol)
A lot of the comments here seem to dislike this mechanic, and while I enjoy it, maybe they should add an easier difficulty on release that doesn't have this. The first game had difficulties so there's a precedent for it. This is a great game and I would genuinely hate if people were scared away because it's too challenging. Maybe as an accessibility option? Let me know if you find this too hard.
this isn't about being too challening (she literally shows up because the player is ""too good/quick"" at the game), it's about a great game having an incredibly cringe mechanic, literal damage taken % multipliers, that artificially inflate difficulty instead of something that feels like a challenge instead of a punishment.
she only appears if you beat a boss shortly after reaching that area for the first time in the first 10 nights, it seems. I only beat hecate on around my fourth run and scylla at around my ninth, so that explains why it never happened to me personally
