I had the demeter gloves once and chose the dash upper splash. Yes it triggers for each charged up attack. It's bonkers.
this was lovely. thank you for this dan!
Cerberus is best boi in every form
One time I got the sword hammer upgrade that increases damage with money alongside an early side hustle upgrade.
So incredibly strong by the end.
The choice whether or not to buy the diamond was hard.
So if Theseus is in Elysium I’m assuming he didn’t try to capture Persephone with his buddy
Firstly, congratulations. Given that you are getting consistently good at your runs, and each run takes a lot of time and effort, I can fully understand being done with it here. Since your play computer is your recording computer, you can always slap record if things are about to be cool, and ditch the footage if it's not. If the next few peeps we hear of hades are compilations that show the best and most curious moments of the last MONTH, or three of not mentioning it, that'll still be fine.
Thank you Dan for another lovely playthrough. And thank you Patrons for yet another amazing choice <3.
Personally I'd really like to see you continue this series. there is still a TON of narrative to experience.
Congrats on the hat trick and getting the credits! Hope you continue to enjoy the game and see more of it!
Also reiterating that if you wanted to play more of this or other games that require more time than fits the channels schedule, I and I'm sure others would be down to watch streams or unedited recordings of things like that.
7:54 – All Heat Gauge Exceeded means is that you're taking extra heat for no benefit – i.e. a 6 heat run will still only fill out the heat 2 level of rewards if you've only beaten heat 1 before
one puuuuuunch
Got my first Covid shot, so I'm celebrating with some Dan and a nice, big, steaming mug of peppermint hot coco. Ah 🙂
Oh, Dan. "So you could come up here all this time……I'm stealing your stuff again, next chance I get."
27:15… Hermes has attack speed boosts for both attack and special as well as movement speed and number of dashes upgrades. Admittedly he does have some mediocre/lame powers but Hermes is a rare pick for a
reasonFun thing about "In the Blood": It's based off of two themes: "No Escape" for the verse (the main menu music, same motif as the final boss), and "On the Coast" for the bridge (the Greece theme, compare specifically to the motif that plays when Zag and Persephone are talking).
I do hope your going to reach the true end on your own time, even if its not in the lets play. Theres still so much more in this game.
there is someone you forgot to talk to. I want to know what skelly has to say to you…
As others have explained, exceeding the heat gauge does still get you bounties, just for the lowest heat level you've yet to claim – so heat 6 from Extreme Measures would have got Dan the same heat 2 bounties as his actual heat 2 run. And his next Malphon run would have to be at least heat 3 to get bounties, and so on.
When it comes to Supergiant games, I enjoyed Bastion (I own it on both Steam and Switch, and have completed it multiple times), was lukewarm on Transistor (I've got through it once but not felt any great need to return), and Pyre just didn't land for me (I've played a couple of trials and given up), but Hades is their best yet for me – my personal game of the year.
As of this posting, apparently as a result of this video, the Patreon has over 1000 patrons (1004), so canvassing for the next bonus playthrough has commenced.
If you exceed the heat they recommend you will get bounties, but you won't get them all at once.
OMORI would make for an interesting playthrough, I think. If Dan has the time, he should check it out.
Dan, the first time you encounter Theseus on Extreme Measures 3, that's going to be a big deal so maybe consider capturing footage 🙂
Oh, possible bonus episodes? Yes, if it works out, I would love that.
Hey guys, does the slow down effect from Dionisius' "Numbing Sensation" also slow down attacks? I know Demeter's slow effects do.
Pyre when?
Indeed, the noclip doc series on Hades is excellent. Enjoy.
For a real challenge, try doing a run after unlocking the last stage of the Extreme Measures Pact of Punishment. You have to face off against Hades in his "powered up" form.
Roses are red,
Violets come in bunches.
You cannot escape,
From my MILLIONTY PUNCHES!
My tenth breakout was far more eventful for me. After an abysmal run, I limped into the final fight with Hades with less than 20 health and no defiances left.
When the cutscene happened, i was so relieved.
all the time dan spent calculating the best options for his build i was just going "hehehehehe" knowing how the 10th run ends
Bonus episode, a montage of tripple-good-boy feeding.
We need to make sure he's being taken care of.
Persephonie's keepsake is just the best.
Horray Sword 4!
The last category of the codex is for companions, like Rib. Gotta use them to unlock the entry.
You unlock rewards one by one, but you can go straight to 32 heat if you want.
As there are a lot of people in the comments going about story spoilers, I'm up to give some indications on what it's still there mechanically that Dan hasn't covered.
Mechanical spoilers ahead!
Arthur Sword: very slow, very powerful. Special drops an AoE safe zone that disables traps (and magma). Has immediate potential to crit for 1k damage if you find Deadly Strike. Best sword 11/10.
Beowulf Shield: can load casts and expends them to empower its bull rush. Special is slower and doesn't bounce as far but packs a punch. Take more damage while you use it.
Still not as dangerous as Guan Yu Spear.
Rama Bow: attack is slower but has a lot more width. Special now fires bouncing arrows straight ahead that mark foes to take damage when you attack.
Dionysus and Ares love this bow. Can clear entire rooms using only special.
Gilgamesh Fists: technically the claws of Enkidu. Dash covers less distance but you gain 2 more. Attack now hits in an arc but is slower. Dash upper now debuffs the enemy's defense and damages them after a bit.
A bit clunky, but any strong attack boost makes this a beast.
Lucifer Rail (yes that Lucifer):
"So we made a greek gun, what's next?"
"Lasers."
"What?"
"And AoE traps."
Zeus loves this aspect. Demeter and Athena have their good moments on attack and special respectively.
Companions:
There are 5 more companions to get! Each has its own method of helping.
Meg: hits enemies in a rather large line.
Than: large area, but delay. Hits the hardest.
Dusa: petrifies enemies. Makes you question why you sent the maid to fight.
Sysisphus: drops a Bouldy on your enemies. Bouldy drops health, gold and darkness.
Achilles: attacks twice at one enemy.
There's also…
Fully Loaded (Artemis Legendary): +2 bloodstones. Especially good with Stygian Soul.
All the duos requiring Poseidon cast: seriously, there's way too many of them. But they're all extremely good.
Winter Harvest (Demeter Legendary): enemies with 10% or less health that are chilled die instantly. Works on bosses.
And lastly:
Sigil of the Dead: Hades' keepsake. Gives you a call that makes you invisible.
I think that's all for interesting boons and such! Thanks for reading.
Thanks for the amazing journey! I've something like 250 runs on this game and I still find new dialogue on occasion. It was an absolute treat seeing you experience this wonderful game. Till the next one!
