No early access for consoles right?
Thanks for the informaiton
Bro I can’t wait for the full release this game is gonna be sick
I hope this runs on my potato. 🙁 Sys requirements on Steam page is pretty low. Hope it stays that way.
I've never played an early access, so I wanted to ask. When you do get the full game, does your progress from the early access carry over ?
There's a mod on nexus to do infinite runs in the technical test
Cap of Aphrodite 😉
Bro it hurts when you try to pronounce technical test 😂
Why aren't there any traps in the game? I haven't seen a single trap in the first location.
I could be wrong but I thought the developers said the early access for H2 would have as much content as H1's 1.0 release. I'm not sure tho.
I think there's going to be a bit of time travel, with a past, present, and future variant to some runs.
Story spoiler / discussion
I think it's pretty clear that Chronos has an army and is currently attacking Olympus, and that most of the gods are actively defending it (hence the armor). The exception seems to be Artemis, who is ostensibly 'scouting' and that's how she 'discovered' Melinoe to the family when the time was right, and Hermes who is missing. But they all do generally talk about how there's this fighting that seems to not be going great for them, but also not getting overrun.
I know this is a video of you just talking but the quality is immaculate nice
personally don't mind Zag's abscent, preferably for a good chunk of the story. Love him but this is Mel's story and having him back too soon my cheapen the experience.
also, won't mind having Heracles as a villain.
Unrealistic hopes include underworld, Atlantis to help posiedon and then Olympus word for 9 total biomes and then zagrius co op/option to play as him??
would love co-op where one plays as Mel and one as Zag
Algorithm booster comment
Also very nice FAQ, thanks
Maybe it's because I was playing Hades 1 with heat in the 30's before I finally unlocked the true ending and permanently dropped the game, but Hades 2 does seem a lot slower. Most times I've seen someone playing take damage feel like it is completely avoidable, and I'm not seeing any real challenge in the first biome compared to Hades 1. Meg also seems to be a significantly harder boss fight than Hecate. The first time I fought Meg I was blown away by how much I had to keep track of in her fight, but it's honestly hard to see myself ever losing to Hecate, even on my first run.
It is obviously just the first area though, so I'm hoping the other biomes are really made to test you.
One thing I hope, more bioms! Give us more bioms, please
Thanks for clearing up a lot of stuff haelian, quick question, are you planning on ever doing a cosplay for the character aphrodite from the upcoming game Hades 2 by the developers supergiant games, best known for games like bastion, transistor, and hades?
*Spoiler*
I wouldn't be surprised if the path down goes to Tartarus and it turns out Kronos isn't there and then the path going up unlocks and then you have to fight your way up to Mt Olympus. Would be cool if it was different regions that you can choose along the way like in Dead Cells tho
An interesting detail and perhaps a spoiler is when you try to "give up" on the run, through the menu.
A voice can be heard laughing.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS.
Crackpot theory is that Hecate is working with Chronos in some way. During her clone attack she says “Past, Present, Future” If she has some time powers that makes me think she’s related to Chronos in some way. There has to be some big reveal that changes our view of the situation.
Things I hope to see in Hades 2:
Cross Progression Content
to Hades 1 wherein when we eventually end up in the House of Hades it looks exactly like how the house you built.
Zagreus being playable (as an alternate skin)
and may even having access to the old weapons, but that would mean bring some old boons back such as the cast and call boons.
Yeah, we're almost certainly getting more Gods. It's pretty scarce right now
I wonder how the bow will work. Before you hold it down to charge up for power shot but in H2 you hold down attack to charge up a super move which uses mana. So will power shot use mana?
belvita tower.
My Speculations: Remember Hymn to Zagreus in H1? Where Zag and Dionysus were just pranking Orpheus with a madeup story about Zag being torn to pieces by the titans? I get the feeling that Zag has jinxed himself and this has come true when Chronos attacked.
I think there is a non zero chance we get a playable Zagreus.
If this game doesn't have a double dash in it I will stomp my way to my sidewalk while banging pots and holding up signs and yelling "no double dash, no peace"
I fully believe that at some point Zag will be an unlockable playable character
I had a bug in Hades 1 that never allowed me to progress the last heart of Aphrodite, so if anyone wants to keep me up to track with what happens when you unlock last heart with her, I would appreciate it. I can't find that info anywhere nor find videos on youtube with that dialogue. (For context, I have pretty much completed the game aside from some of the decorations and 32 heat statue, and have read every single helpful article I can find about Aphrodite's last heart. I have met every requirement and so on, so it is confirmed a bug). I just want to get all the story dialogue before I move to Hades 2
Re.11: I always think it's amazing how much players grow to play faster and more aggressive as they get more accostumed to Hades 1. You check most people's first runs and it's usually a lot of awkwardly running from attacks, doing a special then walking away, and so on. Unless they just wildly smash all buttons, of course.
There's certainly some of that in play here, but I do think Hades 2 combat looks a bit more deliberate, with the single dash, charge attacks, and movement-locking cast. Which obviously isn't necessarily a negative, and it might not even be significative, but it does seem to feel a bit different. But that's just the impression I have from watching (hello, where's my access??).
Hmm wondering where Nyx is
Random prediction based on nothing at all – Zag will come back as a boss!
I would like to see zagreus and his weapons olayable after you beat the main story. Doubt it would happen, but would be cool haha.
Part of me thinks co-op will be a thing once u have saved/unlock Zagreus and then both u and Zag can do runs together.
