Maybe silken sash? Try and get as much armor as u can in a run without losing it on high fear? I dont know im just suggesting
Supergiant: "Hmm, we'll put a boon in the game that's a bit of risk/reward, where you have to take damage, but it gives you a ton of magic each time."
Also Supergiant: puts Vow of Suffering in the game and makes the final boss hit for like 30 base damage
Hey, what you mentioned about using King's Ransom and Spiteful Strength doesn't work. All duo boons are coded for each god as their own boons too. You lose all of your Hera boons and any duo boons that include Hera when you pop King's Ransom. You would need to pickup the requirement from Hera again, and Spiteful Strength again as well.
Heph magic gain really needs a buff. Idk why supergiant thinks it's a good boon. Nobody wants to take damage to get magic back. Ideally you don't want to take any damage at all.

Trivia tiem: Scylla is a monstrous sea creature made famous by the Odyssey and the Roman fan fiction of Greek mythology knows as the Aeneid. In both stories Scylla is portrayed as a beautiful (but gigantic) woman with a tail in place of legs and six monstrous heads coming from her hips. What these heads were and what types of tails is different depending on the adaptation. In the oldest tellings of Scylla, she has a pair of fish-like tails in place of legs and six feral, rabid dog heads that constantly tear at her own body or begin to bark to alert her whenever food is coming (this is seen on ancient pottery and bronze statues that are over 2500 years old, as well as described in said Aeneid fan fiction that came about around four hundred years later). In the Odyssey proper, she's more like a six-headed sea dragon with a human torso growing out of its back, her heads being more like eels or sea snakes and her second torso having four reptilian feet and a lizard-like tail. In some, she has both the dog heads and the sea snakes growing out of her (This version is found in Ovid's famous Roman compendium of Greek myths called Metamorphoses, and Casltevania has a fantastic Scylla design showcasing this interpretation).
Lastly, in some versions (mostly British retellings some two thousand years later) she has these horrible fanged human heads mounted on snake bodies on a dragon's body. One author quite creatively but incoherently described the heads as belonging to an insect, a dog, a lion, a whale, a Gorgon (human head with boar tusks and reptile skin) and a human. Whatever type of monster they were, the six heads are referenced by the bronze rows of monstrous sea serpent heads (only five rows and ten heads total, weirdly) in the back of her boss arena. I hope for her Extreme Measures they give her her doggo and/or snake heads back, they look so cool and horrifying. As for where this horrific being came from, the Greeks had her as the daughter of Typhon and Echidna, two ancient primordial monsters created by Gaia to overthrow Olympus (more on them if Typhon shows up in the game), but the Romans (specifically Ovid) had her as a nymph cursed by Circe or Glaucus (a fish-man) or Poseidon's wife to turn into a monster. The curse from Circe was especially horrific, with the dogs and serpents uncontrollable by her and constantly attacking her own body. Nevertheless, she was able to tame the heads into attacking others instead of her (more about that shortly) and placate them by feeding them sailors. This is why in Coral Crown she sings 'Gods and monsters cannot tame me/curses are my endless muse' during her boss fight in Hades II–she isn't scared of Mel's witchcraft because she's already survived a horrific curse from either a god or a witch (Glaucus/Poseidon's wife or Circe, respectively) and uses these curses for song-writing material since her main song is about her drowning and eating sailors.
As to how she found sailors to feed these heads, Scylla was famously associated with Charybdis the whirlpool monster in Greek myth, making her lair above a narrow strait that could easily wreck ships trying to pass through and positioning herself directly above the whirlpool-generating monster so ships would be funneled towards her mouths. The idiom 'to be between Scylla and Charybdis' is the precursor to our own 'between a rock and a hard place'. The 'rock' mentioned is the strait and the 'hard place' is Scylla and Charybdis, who will eat you if you don't sail into the rocks. The game references Scylla's status as opposite Charybdis by cleverly positioning Charybdis and Scylla on opposite sides of the map. You fight Charybdis midway through area two (some speculate Chary will be the final boss of zone II of the surface when the game is fully out), while Scylla is the final boss of zone two of the underworld. Thus, you literally have to choose between Scylla and Charybdis before starting a run, just like other Greek heroes of old. In Greek myth, you always chose Scylla, as Charybdis' ship-sinking powers meant you'd lose your entire crew to the whirlpool if you tried to cross Charybdis' whirlpool.
Scylla had a cost, though, and any sailors desperate enough that they needed to pass by her would have to risk feeding six of the crewmates into her horrible dog/human/eel hybrid mouths if they wanted to pass. Typically the wisdom was to just try to row for their lives and go past her so fast she couldn't catch anyone, but especially slow ships would end up losing twelve men rather than six. Scylla's association with music and Sirens is a more recent development, conflating two types of cursed nymphs who blocked Odysseus path in the Odyssey (I'll cover the Sirens later). It has, however, led to four absolutely banger pieces of music (Coral Crown and Claw Out Your Eyes from Hades II, the hilarious Is Scylla A Cannibal by Marijke Perry and the absolutely fantastic 'Scylla' from Epic the Musical), so I'm absolutely here for more music about Scylla if modern Greek mythology fiction continues to do them so well.
