Sure Circe did the thing with Od's crew. But I do like her here, she gives me "Fairy Godmother" vibes from how she speaks her ingredients and mannerisms
Possibly! Tho I felt Ares and Athena were more important and should be placed directly on Olympus. (maybe not Ares lol) I forget what other children Zeus had, but potentially the more underrated ones.
....you beat Eris. With the wands. On your second, bloody attempt. I f***ing salute you. Also, keep a handle on Hera's boons, they are very useful. (AND ALSO TRY TO GET HER DUO BOON WITH ZEUS EHEHEHEHE.) Noticing another comment, if you choose to stop here untill the next big update, I would not blame you.
LOL you can't make this up. Always the wands with the comeback. I will say, it could've been either way, Eris was 100 to 0 on me by the end. Oh okay, Hera's boon is really interesting! Noted for the duo lol. Idk when the next big update would be, but thx for your concerns! I'll keep posting and will take necessary breaks, so no worries Camelo!
So, this run, we get Hera, who seems to be the best for clearing lots of small enemies and ending rooms, almost the opposite of Hestia last episode Also, please never stop making these Hades Videos, i love them so much and I look forward to each of them every day!
Having a blast with your playthroughs still! I know for a fact there’s at least a few more things to discover in each of the realms and I’d love to see you discover them, but also your playthroughs are just all around fun, especially since you don’t skip through the dialogue like I’ve seen other people do. Either way, do what’s best for you and your mental health but I personally would love to see you keep going!
Poseidon mentions that Zeus sent "Several of his children" to defend the base of Olympus. Zagreus will probably be jealous that Mel managed to meet Hercules, but I wonder if this means Perseus is going to be an encounter in the full game as well? Also, I do like how Supergiant decided to go the route of having Circe be Melinoe's fairy godmother. Presumably those orange sheep will be pigs in the finished game.
2:30 Oh, I did not know that Heracles was in this game. 8:30 I believe, now that you've met her, she can potentially appear in any run (including in the Underworld) 21:58 You know, that is not what I would have expected Circe to look like. She also seems incredibly chipper for someone who turns men into pigs. Interesting Boons though. 27:43 I mean, I wouldn't mess with Charon's ship either. Dude does not mess around, and he hits like a truck. 38:30 I'm curious as to what the next region will be. We know that eventually We'll reach Olympus, but I expect that will be the 4th region of the Surface, meaning there will still be one more region before it. 41:10 Shrine of Hermes = Surface Well of Charon maybe? 49:39 Wouldn't that technically be Gods (plural) save the Queen, since Mel's getting help from the Olympians? 54:54 May need a bunch of hits (which I wouldn't be surprised if improving the weapon lowered the number of hits needed) but it gives insane Magick regen. Would definitely like more videos. There's still a bunch that you haven't seen yet. For example, you haven't encountered the special NPC in Ephyra yet (the equivalent of Arachne/Echo/etc.) Here's my general thoughts on the various aspects -Circe Staff - meant for high attack frequency -Momus Staff - Self healing when below half -Artemis Blades - Occasional block during Omega Attack channeling, followed by strong counter attacks -Pan Blades - Chiron seeking + plus Chaos shield bonus -Moros Wands - Heavy combo damage -Eos Wands - more likely to hit + potential damage while evading? -Charon Axe - cast/special synergy -Thanatos Axe - Crit build that resets when you take damage -Medea Skull - Close range AoE build? -Persephone Skull - Omega special build?
Your detailed notes are a nice read as always. We need Hercules to lift Zagreus' weights off the floor. Right, you wouldn't guess she turns men to pigs by her personality. I'm sure Mel may learn more lol Wonder if we'll be able to challenge Charon again, but I doubt it's in Mel's character, so likely not. I think the Surface would have a 4th region too ^ Fine, Gods save the Queen!* Oookay Digi, for you and others, I'll make more. I actually play a bit after this run, but stopped edits here. On the Momus Staff, self-healing is worth noting ^ it also seems to make Specials more viable as you level it up more. The Skulls are weird!!! I don't know if I'm activating Glory during the training ground. Worth a try during a real run.
Thank you so much for sticking by with Hades 2 and getting here. Thank you for the videos. Will you stop here to avoid getting burned out, or will you play some more?
Hey again and thanks for sticking around too! I actually already played a bit more runs after this one, but didn't know whether people would want to watch more. Kind of a silly question now that I've come back to the comments. Hmm, luckily I tend to play maybe 1-2 runs a day? then maybe some days no runs at all just to catch up on editing. That's all to say, I won't expect to feel the burn out. But I take your concern to heart ^ if I really do feel like I'm being dragged by this whole thing, I wouldn't mind sacrificing a day behind on uploads to recuperate. Sweet of you for your concerns Vlasios!
@@Hamstir4 You are most welcome and I’ll keep an eye out for your content! I am very excited to see the story, how it continues on the full release. If the game releases simultaneously on consoles I *may* have to play some on my own before looking up your videos, to avoid some spoilers. If it releases again first on PC, I will definitely watch everything you upload! But most of all, enjoy the game and take care of yourself!
@@VlasiosSokorelosTheDarkwavist You are sooo sweet Valsios. and I understand! put these videos are hold if it's out on console! Ookay, fun and health first, and remember to count yourself on that too.
@@Hamstir4 Until the the full release is out, I am definitely continuing watching the early access videos. I got my Hades platinum trophy a few days ago (was in my backlog for years), and its the second Supergiant game I finished (first was Transistor, amazing game and loved it more than Hades to be honest. I really like the narrative and gameplay of Hades, but the RNG of rogue lites to get what you need it works against my preferences, especially when there is SO MUCH QUALITY CONTENT). And the funny thing is that the game has EVEN MORE to do should someone chooses to. I had watched a full playthrough of the game back when it was first released on PC. What I see from the Hades 2 is that it's going to be massive, almost twice the size of Hades in terms of areas, and that without factoring the repeating runs that need to be done. Cannot wait to see the full story of the game, as the first game was really good. And this time, the story has me more interested than before. Have a nice day/evening, and will see you again, hopefully sooner than later! There is an email on my account, you can use it to add me on Discord, if you are using it!
@@VlasiosSokorelosTheDarkwavist Congratz on your Hades achievement! I do agree the rng does make it difficult to get the gameplay you may want, ig that's the appeal of roguelites being random, it can feel like winning a lottery and that's how it gets us lol. I love Transistor! I didn't finish their two other games, but Transistor I for sure did. I expected Hades 2 would carry lots of aspects of Transistors given we're playing with time. Transistors is up there for music and the dynamic between Red and her fiance's voice is one of my favorites. I do think Hades will be double in size which is nuts ^ and story is more bold than the first game. and I do have Discord! I may consider the add and you have a night too!
It would be great if you kept making more videos! You still have nectars to hand out, new weapon aspects to play with, spells to cast, NPC interactions to have...
Hi Toby Fox, I'm flattered you feel this way about my runs. I'll keep it up! And you continue to work hard on Deltarune. Please take care of Noelle, thank you.
"I beat the final boss that can pause time!!!!" Viewers: "Cool, but have you tried pausing the game to see what happened?" "Did someone say smth before? Eh, must have been the wind."
Nice try trying to spell Día de los Muertos 🫡 It's weird imagining this version of Persephone actually using a weapon, even more so a creepy floating skull If you still plan on playing Hades II then I'd love more vids! Wouldn't fault you if you want to take a break between game updates tho I do think there's still a bunch of npc interactions we haven't seen yet
LLOL I knew I'd get it wrong. Right, Persephone hiding her exposure to the Underworld. You're absolutely right, there's more interactions I can find out, thanks for cheering me on. and I'll take breaks if necessary!
I can treat Hera right, move over Zeus (also congrats on beating Eris, you rock)
LOL but will Hera treat you right? and thanks, it was close tho!
Sure Circe did the thing with Od's crew. But I do like her here, she gives me "Fairy Godmother" vibes from how she speaks her ingredients and mannerisms
It's a cute spin to Circe, and Mel seems to take delight with her as well! Perhaps one witch to another has that affect.
6:04 Poseidon is probably talking about Ares and Athena, since they're both war gods.
Possibly! Tho I felt Ares and Athena were more important and should be placed directly on Olympus. (maybe not Ares lol) I forget what other children Zeus had, but potentially the more underrated ones.
....you beat Eris. With the wands. On your second, bloody attempt.

16:35 since he’s blind he has to listen for your location to strike, hence “where’d you go?” and a brief “spotted” status text before the boulder
Right, before I thought I had to play with the fact he's blind. But it's actually a predicator to his big attack.
So, this run, we get Hera, who seems to be the best for clearing lots of small enemies and ending rooms, almost the opposite of Hestia last episode
Also, please never stop making these Hades Videos, i love them so much and I look forward to each of them every day!
lmao, Hestia could take some notes.
19:00 " nodding intensivly "
I sense I'm being judged.

Yes, I thought of Perseus as well! Lmao, Zagreus would.
I didn't think of replacing the sheep with pigs, but would add layers to Circe ^
I CANT BELIEVE YOU.BEAT.ERIS SO FRICKING FAST!!! WHAT THE HELL, EVERYONE LIKE "SHE IS SO HARD, IMPOSSIBLE AAAA" AND YOU!!!!! OMG YOURE AMAZING
'twas merely luck mi amigo. But thank you! I had to think a bit before starting that run.
You can take a break if you want, but I wouldn't mind watching more from you. Also good run.
Thaanks. Okay okay Batter.

I'll do more cardio for you Ken!
Nice!! We have reached run 20!! Would love to see a a Skull run, with the Persephone aspect now that we have it, and good jov for you!
We did reach 20! Yay, and the skulls are weeird! I'm down to try them, maybe they'd need help with the hammers.
Lets gooo! Hera rocks it, I love her and her boons (specially paired with Zeus).
Let's goo! and you're right, the synergy sounds so obvious now
Thanks for runnin’
I love doing cardio!
