Btw, if a boon has plural "Attacks" or "Specials" then it affects both the base and omega versions
Dear lord retro if you interact with the cauldron in main camp it will push you in the right and after the push you can be on surface. For less than a minute to move quickly.
Gotta say, I miss the reto-zagreus art on the video cover, I want to see one for this series too! sahsahauhsauhas
Try pausing during Chronos fight ๐
The game is really, really confused that you beat it so early. For example, i got access to the Shadow resource long before getting the surface quest, and it seems to be playing catchup going through all the events that happen after beating Chronos before going back and giving you stuff it planned to give earlier. I'm sure it'll resolve itself, but that's something for the devs to think about for future updates.
There's still more important stuff you're missing, but if you just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get it. Stuff is unlocked by going on runs and talking to npcs, so I'm sure it'll be sorted out in a bit.
At the end you can see how weak scorch actually is. So much investment and its like 10% of total.
It looks impressive when you see 10k stacks on bosses only to remember its a fixed dps of 40 (stacking it just inceases duration) and bosses remove it with lots of moves :/
Spinning fire axe is always cool though.

1:50 "Personally I would've gone with the magical girl transformation." – me, while watching a video of a game I have never played, with that game itself being a sequel to another game I've never played
No one:
Mel fighting Chronos: โSERENITY NOW, SERENITY NOW!!!โ
Obscenely jealous of the fact you got a third deadalus hammer, monster build
I thought this would be the first loss since defeating Chronos for the first time. Turns out it was just insanely quick boss fights making the video 10-20 minutes shorter.
You need to unlock Lord Moros to get the recipe for shadow, as I recall.
Edit: Nope, different recipe, apparently……
Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!
Nice whirlwind barb build!
BTW the Special on the Ax blocks Chronos' throw attack. ๐
Daggers are my favorite. I four shot Cerberus in like 15 seconds with hook knives and dancing blades with boosted backstab damage. It would've been faster if I didn't have to deal with his minions while he went underground.
You need to take dark side at some point
The final build is like GuanYu 2.0 ๐
This was without question, a SPEEN moment. Cleanest Chronos fight yet, although it probably helps that you didn't have to be near him in the range of his worse attacks for a majority of the first phase. Death to Chronos.
yeah that shadow extraction thing said โ12โฐ recipeโ
Guan yu at home:
the poseidon boon that can double rewards also works on the max hp and max mana increases which can make it absolutely insane, making the boon worth it aslong as it doubles any of these rewards atleast once. Also I believe the Deathcap mushrooms mention in their description that they are used to trade in for bones at the store
Edit: also just had poseidon double up a pom of power for me! S+ tier blessing!!!
Oh and also just discovered he can double a mystery boon pickup even! it is so broken!
Throwing bladed weapons in a spinny fashion. Really taking a leaf out of your grandfather's book there, huh Melinoe?
Love watching your series of this game, finally caught up to your most recent vid, Can't wait to watch this one and the next!
Omega attack: 216k
Scorch: 28k
I mean the scorches were exploding during the latter part of the run, that probably doesn't count. Still, it's less than 15% increase? Flutter strike wouldn't have worked with sending the spin off and dashing back, but no doubt you could have gotten more out of the attack boon slot than Hestia. Which is crazy considering how strong the run was. I guess the third hammer helped though ๐
Loving the series.
Letting you know ๐
Are you ever going to check out that gold dot, on the shade in the training ground?
