Today I thought I’d play Hades given that every time I open my Steam library I am guilted into looking at it with all of its many shiny video game awards and its many shiny reviews, so here it is.

I think they're called Wringers because they're giant hands that Wring your neck
Mr. Streamer enjoys fisting. You heard it hear first folks lol
Here is a good general rule. If you are using the gun, you can take zeus on your attack, and ares on your attack if and only if you also get the upgrade where every hit makes the doom effect do more damage. If you are using the bow (But not chiron bow) you can take zeus or maybe ares on your special, but not your attack. Otherwise, never take zeus or ares on your attack or special, as they are vastly outclassed by all the other gods percentage based upgrades. Zeus and ares casts and dashes are fine.

Yes Mr Streamer, you are supposed to be avoiding enemy attacks. Your problem with the fists (well, all weapons really, but fists in particular because of their short range and no long-range special) is that you haven't learned how to avoid enemy attacks, which ones are safe for you to go in on, etc.
Good stuff with breakfast.
Really wanna see his opinion on the last weapon unlock considering his playstyle strengths.
Commenting for the algorithm
Thank you
It's the bident that's his symbol, but yeah weird beard.
Chek your codex to see who you've given nectar to, giving more than one is pretty much useless
Can’t wait till he defeats [REDACTED] for the first time
Might be worth starting with a different boom, that would let you pick your primary god and get higher rarity
A tip to remember for next time is that not all boons increase the base damage of an attack they only add a bonus to it. Zeus is an example of that
In Greek mythology hades gifted persephone with pomegranate seeds to win over her love and it worked supposedly 😅 thats why there so promenant in this game
Athena gives the best dash upgrade in the game. It allows you to deflect whilst you dash, letting you dash around like a maniac and not take billions of damage.
If you peel them right pomegranate is easy to eat !
I think that Mr Streamer is dashing to much even with the weak being applied on dash the weak lasts for a bit so you don't have to apply it every second
you could also check gift from Dusa
There are ways to restore Death Defiances, it's expensive though. As in 200 from a Well of Charon expensive. There's also one encounter you can find but spoilers
Mr. streamer, there is really no reason to equip the Tooth for the first few floors, you could be leveling something else and switch to the Tooth when you get to Elysium
Fists are great with Artemis boon that makes you shoot arrows when you attack, since it's a 5 hit combo you clear rooms pretty fast and the added damage is great against bosses.
My favourite combo is Aphrodite and Artemis if I manage to get the "weakened foes take more damage" boon
Hades is such a great game to play or watch.
I noticed everyone is giving u some tips and u listen to the good ones so here's mine :
Play how u want until you know the enemies and their attacks, the gods boons and how they interact. Then u can build a bomb run to smash Pappas face In.
It is very difficult to see the enemies attacks through all the flashing stuff so dodging repeatedly actually hurts u more than helps.
Start off a run with a keepsake u want to level up then switch to skelly one when u hit elysium or further. Starting a run with a Olympian keepsake usually means first room is from that God. Helps tailor a build.
There is a way to refill death defiance so taking a early death doesn't kill a run all the time.
The codex is a real great tool to check before u interact with the boon to check if u have given that person their first nectar.
Happy slaying Mr streamer.
It would help to fight at the range the weapons can hit at instead of getting close enough to kiss your enemies then dashing so frequently that you arent actually dodging anything.
Mind, brute forcing the game is a 100% legit strategy. It's a game that has a lot of space for skill, but it's not required. Not that this seems to be relevant to this playthrough, you're not bad at all.
The Aphrodite Aid's charm works on bosses too, imo it's the best Aid against bosses, together with that dual boon of Aphrodite and Zeus that caps the God Gauge to 25% but fills it 1% every 0.2 seconds keep the bosses charmed (not able to attack at all) nearly the entire fight, except agains Hades, that has charm duration reduced, but not cancelled
Hermes more like Herpes
