Great video, really fun run
does glorious disaster work on any cast that has prominence flare? i wonder how it would do with arctic ring + dem zeus duo boon
@Boat3d will you ever do a video collab where you do like a speedrun against another youtuber?
Im glad to know im not the only one who really struggles with Charybis, always takes 1 DD minimum. I wouldnt want to gut the fight's difficulty but I agree the offscreen arrows are a big pain
Haelian has a theory that when the surface is done Charybdis will just straight-up be the boss for Zone 2, and given how hard she is I believe him.
Trivia for this nasty lil' miniboss: Charybdis is a daughter of Gaia and Poseidon who was naturally born as a monstrous creature (similar to Typhon and Echidna's children and some of Gaia's many other children like the Cyclopes and the Hecatoncheires). Initially, Charybdis dwelled above the surface of the water, but after Poseidon used her in an attempted coup against Zeus where she would flood all of the land with water she sucked up and spit back out from underground, Zeus struck her with so many lightning bolts she was permanently cast down to the bottom of the ocean. Other tellings leave Poseidon innocent and say she was originally a normal (but very hungry) woman who tried to steal and devour oxen belonging to Heracles or Hermes. Zeus punished her with her monstrous form after the aforementioned excessive number of thunderbolts were thrown at her and she was sent hurtling to the bottom of the sea per usual.
Although Charybdis in the modern day is often depicted as being purely a living whirlpool that swallows up water, the Greeks had her more like a very powerful water pump. She would alternate between suck and blow functions, drawing down water in the apocalyptically huge whirlpool she's usually imagined forming three times a day. These whirlpools were so powerful she could expose the bottom of the ocean all around her by drawing in so much water at once. But all that water had to go somewhere, so three times a day, she'd also fire out tempestuous storms when she spat up all the water she'd gulped down, coming down with such force and fury they're sometimes described as 'ashy' or 'lightning-like' . Hades II is very accurate to this depiction, showing her gulping down water while you fight her tentacles (kinda wish there was a whirlpool effect when she did but the fight's already hard enough) and then firing up burning water globlets every time they take too much damage. So, to answer why there are three cutscenes in the fight, that's why.
Odysseus exploited this weakness when he had to cross Charybdis' straight alone after his crew decided to steal cows from Helios (a terrible idea by any measure) and all got Go To Jail card straight to the Underworld from Zeus as a result. He had to build a crappy little raft for himself on Calypso's island, and if he tries to sail past Scylla she'd just eat him, so he had to risk losing his ship to Charybdis. Thus, he waited til she'd finished up swallowing water, sailed into the whirlpool as it was forming, then jumped up onto a tree on the rock nearby and waited for her to finish sucking down the water while he clung to the tree. Once she had to release all the water, he waited for his ship to resurface, then jumped near it and swam to it while Charybdis was still spitting up water, using the storm surge to sail away and reach his home of Ithaca.
The Greeks were fascinated by the idea of Charybdis' all-devouring nature as a metaphor for the null or nothingness. The Greeks actually didn't have a numerical concept or word for 'zero', so the void created by Charybdis was sometimes used as a metaphor to express the concept of a final end to everything in its place. Aesop was said to have once teased a ferryman or boat-builder–possibly even the ferryman, Charon–by noting that boatmen can only work so long as there is water on which to row, saying that Charybdis was a timer that would inevitably drink up all the world's water at some stage. Zeus once flooded the world to end all evil humans, and it was Charybdis who brought mountains back into view, and then land, and at some point in the future she would then swallow up her third gulp and drink up all water, putting the Ferryman out of a job. Another example of this is in a lyric to a Greek song that goes 'For all things arrive at a single horrible Charybdis, great excellences and wealth alike.'
Considering what a run in with Charybdis can do to a run, a metaphor for the end of all things seems like as good a description of the nasty old girl as any.

By the way, I think that Circe boon that removes a vow is bugged currently. Every single time I've taken it, it deactivates wandering, which is completely useless currently.
Charybdis is the only boss that make soothe sprint viable, you just eat his balls with your dash xD
you dont know the amount of time i checked youtube for a hades 2 video TT. upload more often cry sounds
Boated, Charybdis is a girl 😭
