  1. I started playing on hellmode, only gotten up to 34 heat so far but I would say I'm decent at the game. I "kinda" agree with and understand what you say about starting over on hellmode. It'd probably be a hassle, BUT… a hellmode save does add the no invulnerability pact and I personally DO think that's the way the game is meant to be played. Also, though less important, since you can't enable godmode on hellmode saves you can "prove" your records are legit. Purely for bragging rights obv but still…

  2. started my first save on hell mode cause i love challenges, and ive played quite a lot of hades since, but its always nice to see a breakdown of mechanics that we, as players, tend to just gloss over. also, as far as masks go, they dont help unless you got the bug. course, lot of hospitals require them to reassure patients and there is those ridiculous state orders to deal with. only brought it up cause i read the n95 intro

  4. Even though I didn't learn anything I super appreciate that you make these more beginner focused vids. I've been introducing friends to the game and this is super helpful for those people.

    Also, shout out for Terminal March. My favorite track from Bastion. Love that oud and steel drum combo.

  5. Paul, I’m pretty sure I’ve been offered duo boons in a god challenge room. It’s just never the duo boon the two gods offer together. If that makes sense. If the room is Demeter and Zeus, you can’t get cold fusion. But I’m pretty sure you could still get lightning rod, or blizzard shot, if you had the other prerequisites

  6. good guide.

    Oh and im surprised you haven't figured this out yet, but not getting duo boons in double boon rooms is entirely intentional. You can tell if for no other reason than duo boons always give special dialogue interaction between the two gods and yourself. In the double boon rooms, the god is always angry at the other god for not getting picked, this would ruin the dialogue between the two for getting a cooperative, duo boon.

    Its not a bug.

  7. Hi! Great vids! The question would be: does an Erebus gate count as an extra room, like you have 11 rooms approx, to beat en each "act" so you still get those 11-12 rooms with boon possibilities? For example, you see an Artemis mini-boss fight, and an Erebus gate, you choose Erebus, but form Erebus you have "small picks". will the Artemis room show up again? Or is it like the decision between two rooms? Thank you for the answer, if you may. Cheers, and keep up the good work.

  8. Any tips for when you s*ck at evasion? Really, I'm so bad at evading, especially with a lot of stuff going on on the screen. For example, I keep getting hit by Theseus spear even after 100 or so runs, because I just CAN'T split my attention between Asterius and Theseus. And evading Asterius is hard enough as it is. Also Asphodel with large amount of enemies + the lava. And I keep walking into traps, which is fine since most don't do so much damage anyway (exception: Styx axes I guess).

    So this was even to the point when I was ready to stop playing Hades altogether. Fortunately, I toughed it out by farming and maxing my mirror skills.

    So again the question: is there any tip/strategy/boon that helps when you are bad at evading?
