  1. Turns out that Freeze is incredibly potent on the Torches — since the flames are piercing, you can lock entire crowds down with good positioning and get to the charge threshold way easier. Combine that with the hammer boon that deletes 80% (!!!) of total armor, and minibosses are a goddamn joke.

  2. I am pretty sure the Duo boon just stopped working after you got the ranged cast. From then on only the original Apollo boon was working, since your 15 mana cast was the saame as your 45 mana cast

  3. Everyone says Kendrick dropped a killer diss track, but have they heard "I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death)" from Scylla and the Sisters? Now that's a killer diss track! Literally!

  4. The fact that retro is doing as good as he is in spite of…. spite, is a testament to how damn good he is at games like this. Getting to phase 2 of chronos while dealing with 80% increased damage is a hell of a feat.

  5. Im very curious how the story will progress that will have you doing multiple runs after beating chronos? Like in hades 1 zag died on the surface and even at the very end he just kept doing runs to test out the underworlds defenses. But how will they handle that in hades 2?

  6. The Zeus 30 min damage (or higher with higher quality) boon is actually pretty busted on the Apollo Omega Cast for 15 magic that you had. Makes it do 30 damage every 0.13 instead of 10. Still loving your runs and you never cease to impress me with your action/bullet hell skills

  7. The Skull is actually my favorite weapon… it's basically Zagreus' cast on attack.(€dit: with Dionysus cast as Ω attack) And I sure loved my Dio caster runs in the first game. Kinda miss winebro.
    €dit2: Eris CAN still appear at various points. Even at the start of Tartarus.
    €dit3: Gift Chaos, best keepsake in game.
    €dit4: "We don't need more." You've played the first game, right? Remember the Darkness grind perhaps? ^^

  8. The attacks are for the most part telegraphed okay, but there's two that really screw me. The scythe throw is really quick, so sometimes even when you notice it coming you can't do anything about it (you can't dash spam like Zag), and when he does the dash like 4 times in a row after he's half HP, I don't think I've ever managed to dodge all of them, and if he hits you with one he almost definitely hits you with the follow up. I can go the whole fight not getting hit but take 100+ damage from some combination of those after he's half HP
