Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
BATTLE OUT OF HELL
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.
BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
A fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience hundreds of unique story events as you learn about what’s really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family.
BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Permanent upgrades mean you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that’s been core to Supergiant’s games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted Underworld environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life.

This is a great list and I do largely agree. For me personally I actually feel like Artemis is harder than Ares, simply because the Ares circles move slower and kinda keep to their area. Buuuut I've only fought Artemis once (and even that was an accident) because she's my favorite Olympian so I could be wrong. I would also maybe put Demeter over Aphrodite but they're both infuriating. Thing is I rarely suffer due to the stun from Aphro somehow, it's just the dang thing KEEPS HITTING ME. But Demeter feels so much more punishing when you do get hit and if you're a rather mobile fighter who instinctively dashes all around then it's easy to accidentally charge into a vortex before you can realize it. Conversely said mobility is kinda how you AVOID Aphrodite.
Also fun fact, my first Trial ever I fought Poseidon. It made me scared of those rooms for a while and I avoided them whenever I could until I realized they weren't so scary. XD
So this would be a bit more of a for fun video since it doesn't involve something you have TOO much control over, but maybe a video ranking all of the Olympian Aids for Thesseus's second phase? Some of them are WAY harder to deal with than others, Demeter and Zeus in particular can be nasty because of the AoE effect they give his spear and in Demeter's case the pattern her circles spawn in.
8. Dio, just like in the video. The stationary pools in my opinion aren't that difficult to spot nor dodge.
7. Artemis, I personally find the circles Arty creates the easiest to dodge from the "moving circle"-trials. There is a delay when the damage procs and while they seem to move quickly, they also converge a lot, making them stick to one spot and thusly easier to dodge.
6. Ares, the zones Ares creates are slow and never really a problem. I find these harder to get stuck in than Artys circles since they cover a larger area instead of converging to one spot but easier than Zeus, which in my opinion catches you off-guard much more easily.
5. Zeus, honestly, the perfect middle-point in trial difficulty. While random, the lightning bolts are indicated fairly clearly and give you good enough delay to get out from the circles if you happen to stand in one. That said, randomness and fairly large area makes these in my opinion harder to dodge than both Arty and Ares.
4. Poseidon, for some reason, while I think Uncle Poseidon is annoying to deal with, the wave moves fairly slowly and has somewhat small hitbox for dodging. Other than that, it definitely is above the "moving circle" of other Gods in difficulty.
3. Athena (just because of Elysium), Athena is a huge pain in the arse with tight deadline. Even more so in Elysium with the tiny little soul guys who get a free res if they happen to be inside her circle. She is not dangerous, and I would put her just above Dio if she did not become a complete runkiller in Elysium.
2. Aphro, While the stun from the heart is really deadly, especially on higher heat I find just the fact that the heart itself tends to blend into the backgrounds a bigger problem. I cannot count the times I've lost a DD in Aphrodite trial because I've just plain not seen the heart before it was too late, got chunked by huge amounts of damage and stunned just to be murdered by a group of mobs around me. Outside of that the heart moves slowly and is not too big of a deal to dodge. One just needs to see it coming first.
1. Demeter, the BigMcLargeHuge frozen zone she spawns that keeps stunlocking you and lowering your speed is a huge threat. In Elysium if I have a choice between her and Athena I pick Athena 99% of the time just because having to deal with invulnerable soul guy dudes I find is way less deadly than what Granny here can cause.
For me, artemis and aphrodite are the biggest hassle
Does the god you initially pick effect anything? Like item rarity?
Aphrodite's and Athena's are annoying, the rest are piss easy.
i try to avoid these trials as much as possible. for the main reason of me taking the offense of to the gods personaly😂
I always found Aphrodite's is the easiest with diyonisus is the hardest :/
for me Athena is easiest but I think it's just because I never do tight deadline, so the time is not a problem.
Aphrodite definitely the hardest, I always get messed up by her
Imo Athena is the easiest, Demeter is just bs
Demeter is the one I’ll always avoid. Those freezing circles are no joke.
I find the trial rooms to be a nice little challenge. I felt like Poseidon, Artemis and Aphrodite kept me on my toes the most. I'll take the 2-for-1 special, please!😂
Personally I'd swap Demeter and Aphrodite. Solid mobility can keep you from being tagged by the heart, but if that vortex spawns near you then you're taking damage no matter what. And the size of those things is no joke. Which is, after all, what she said.
I'd also swap Athena and Dionysus (unless doing a timed run or rolling tight deadline) because Athena mostly just costs time while Dionysus almost requires less mobility since you're ought to dash out of one cloud and into another. Especially if you're running jury summons and the screen is full of moving parts.
Once I lost 2 DD to Aphro in Elysium, it really sucks
I love how after you survive Olympians be like "I almost murdered you!! LOL"
Great stuff JP. I would agree with this list. Some are pretty close and could swap places, but your reasoning makes a lot of sense.
I find athena's the most easy one by far tbh
Aphrodite seems so simple but yes, it is annoying. Haven’t tried most of the others yet. Athena seems super annoying in elysium, as you said
Hello, I’m very late to Hades, but your videos have been extremely helpful. Finally defeated Hades with each weapon thanks to your tips and advice. Thanks!
Dying to demeter and she said “remember to respect the elders” I’m like ok I’ll stop pushing old people downstairs aight
