This is definitely the nicest gorgon I’ve encountered in a video game.

Wow, I don't think I found a Duo boon until my 30th run.
Small shoutout to Supergiant using they/them pronouns for Chaos, it's a really small thing that I appreciated maybe more loudly than I should have
dionysus has my favorite boons tbh, when you use the shield, fists, or rail being able to dash around your opponents and have them take damage is really really nice
God gauge = charging by attacks on mobs and taking hits, its under your HP bar just have to pay attention to it. It resets per room encounter. For your next nectar save it and it someone try giving it those with in the house's halls. Also what the hell a Duo already 0_o i don't remember getting one that soon in game but its been a year nearly so >_>"
I love the shield! It and a later weapon are my go to picks. I love the fact that you can just sit in a corner and block like 80% of enemies, at least in the first area.
You need to give your Stepmom? a beer, she deserves it.
You need to give Nyx a beer, your nice stepmom deserves it!
this is the first lp of this game I watched where the first duo boon didn't involve Poseidon
I think you need to try to master the Dash strike. It can keep you alive longer, i think.
Really glad to see Dan not completely disregarding the dash boons! They've saved my life several times!
Can I just say how much I'm enjoying Dan enjoying this? Because it's a lot
Yo Dan, wait until you get a weapon that is more about quick hits, like the fists or the gun. Both do short bursts of small damage for their main attack, so they pair really well with stacked statuses like Hangover.
One of the big things about each god is that the more you invest in them through a run, the more their boons start to compliment each other. So Dionysus has a boon that causes enemies with hangover to give it to other enemies. Then he has another boon that gives you better damage when three or more enemies have hangover, and then another where hangover makes enemies slower. Put all of that together and your poison is infectious, makes you hit harder, and makes the enemy an easier target!
Then you can pair that with something from another god, like Artemis's Pressure Points, which gives a small chance for every bit of damage you do to be critical, which means %200 damage. That's not a huge help on a big one-hit weapon like the shield, but if you've specced Zagreus to do a lot of damage in small bites, and each one has that chance, it's a huge multiplier for your output.
This is great, please let this continue at some point after this week is done?
Aaaaaaaartemis. Is bae. Easily my favorite of the Olympians, with Athena a close second (both IRL and in game).
Also, yeah, Dusa is the best. She's an absolutely sweetie, and the way her story stuff plays out is wonderful. I love her.
I did not expect Medusa to be depicted as a cute one. I figured she would be a lot darker in tone, but then again that would paint Poseidon and Athena in a pretty nasty light. It's not a nice story.
The more I watch the more I want this game.
Aww! The chef shade had a little chef hat!
For anyone else just picking up Hades, the Olympian gods should probably be last on the list of nectar recipients. Good first targets are Hypnos (start your run with up to 150 obol) and Cerberus (+50 health). Don't give them more than one until you've given everyone a bottle and gotten their keepsakes. Doom (Ares' boon) is probably best for the shield special since the attack is slow yet does bugger-all damage.
Also, Lightning boons are best for fast weapons since they are a flat increase in damage rather than a percentage – chain lightning cast is pretty great for clearing a bunch of weenies quickly as well. You'll go further if you think about how the boon matches up to the attack type.
Ideally, keys should be saved to open up more buffs on the mirror, at least until you can get the health buff (up to +50 health). Though if you want to play with more weapons that's fine too.
What happened to Meg's left wing?
Pro strat tip: take the large obol sack behind Charon in his shop, it’s a thing all the best players do
Can anyone link me to the absolutely rad animation in the ending credits?
Has anyone ever told you you sound like Jim Ward?
20:11 this took me over a year to figure out
“Charon, do you have a preferred pronunciation for your name?
“Hhhrrrrrnnnnn…”
“I’m glad you’re so chill about it.”
Dusa is the 3rd best thing about this video game behind the art and music.
@PlayFrame since you mentioned voice actors, I was a little disappointed to find out that Susan Egan didn't voice Megara, because the voice actress that is playing her sounds very similar. It would have been really cool if somehow they got her and Megara in this game was the same voice actor as Megara from the Disney Hercules movie.
hey you met Sisyphus! I bet it would very frustrating to endlessly repeat some task only to be doomed to fail in the end.
hey, wait a minute…
"Charon" is pronounced "Karen", and he exists to ferry people to the manager.
How do YOU pronounce it?
A) Care-on
B) Car-on
C) Athreos, God of Passage?
This makes me wonder how long a TAS can get in the first ever run.
Would be intresting to see.
Dusa reminds me a lot of Carrie
Dang! That burn against Poseidon!
Yeah man, Darren Korb is absurdly talented. When you get to hear Orpheus sing eventually, that's Darren as well.
I knew Dan would love the shield, same as I do.
Dionysus sounds like a male version of Mae West and I love it
