Boated here to help fend me from my manic depression for 20 glorious minutes
GG! I was never really very good at Charon so I'm glad that the early game is a bit easier.
Thanks for the video and hope you're having a good day.
easy shot is the rich man's support fire
Maybe it’s psychological but man when I’m not using Than aspect swinging my axe feels so much slower than watching you swing
Also hi
Morph works on the tentacles. it's funny watching individual tentacles becoming sheep
yo boated thoughts on 50 fear surface this patch? I've been trying so hard to beat it but I haven't managed to yet. Olympus is honestly crazy and the enemies are so overtuned, you need fig just to make it to prometheus in time
Dude playing at 3 am before class is so real
I liked the part when Prometheus was on screen
The visuals on easy shot are so cool it feels stronger than it actually is
Yeah Drunken Stupor is unironically good for an Omega build. 50-100 DoT is 400-800 damage by the time it wears off (4 seconds to do its total damage amount), and Olympus enemies are so overtuned it has time to rack up to meaningful levels, especially on high Fear. The fact that it applies to every enemy it hits also means you can let it kill or soften up enemies while you focus down their higher-health/higher-priority buddies and save time.
Trivia time!
Dionysus' invention of wine has two versions attached to it, one definitively later than the other. In the first version, Hera tricks Dionysus' mother Semele into either touching Zeus' lightning bolts or revealing secrets of Dionysus' godhood before he is born and thus being smote by Zeus' thunderbolt to protect his son's secrecy. After this, Zeus sews Dionysus into his thigh and has it act as an emergency womb for him (something I talked about last time I covered Dio). Upon Dio's birth from Zeus' thigh, Zeus entrusted him to Hermes, who took Dio to his grandmother, Rhea. Rhea volunteered to lead the effort to nurture him in safety from Hera's wrath, just as she had raised her son Zeus himself in secret to protect him from Chronos. She recruited Dionysus' aunts, Ino, Agave and Autonoe, to help him raise him. She then took the infant Dio and his aunts to a place called Mount Nysa somewhere in North Africa (usually somewhere on the coast between Egypt and Phoenicia/modern day Morocco) or Arabia, a hidden garden tended to by the rain-nymphs called the Nysiades. While he was there, he came upon a plant that bled red juice when split open, and from it he was able to derive his signature drink, wine, which he first prepared as a gift for his grandmother and then for his aunts and nursemaids. Upon reaching adulthood, he departed the garden of his childhood with the intention of introducing wine and other feast materials to the rest of the world, presumably starting with Mount Olympus and Greece.
But leaving the garden meant revealing himself to the world, and revealing himself to the world involved getting Hera's attention. Hera then struck Dio with a madness that caused him endless wanderlust, which took him to Egypt, then to Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and then to India, before he finally returned back to Thrace and then to Greece, spreading his cult and the practice of wine-drinking to all corners of the world as he did. This just-so story explains why the practice of wine-making (and later the cults of Dionysus associated with wine-making) were already widespread before contact with Greek explorers while still giving them a distinctly Greek origin (which to be fair Dionysus' cult did indeed have, though wine-making is much older than his worship). In reality, Dio's cult in India and Ethiopia probably spread through foreign practitioners who were first introduced to him by the Greeks but then later introduced their neighbours to his worship prior to the Greeks meeting them. Wine drinking and partying were very popular all over the world, so worshipping Dio became popular along with these universal practices.
As for the second story, later versions of the story became a lot more gay with the introduction of a young Thracian satyr named Amphelos (the Ancient Greek word for 'grapevine') who met Dionysus in his youth. Dionysus became smitten, and the two became fast friends and then lovers in time. This is where the story branches once again. This second version of the myth of Dio's winemaking has two versions in itself. The Greeks loved telling stories and didn't have an internet archive with which to keep internal consistency between them. In the first version of the Amphelos x Dionysus OTP version, Dio spots a grape vine growing from an elm tree and requests Amphelos try to pick them for him. Amphelos falls from the tree and cracks his head open, and in his grief Dionysus transforms him into a constellation shaped like a grape vine and names the vine after his dead lover to remember him. Then Dio is struck by wanderlust madness by Hera and spreads the new drink he created in honour of his dead love to the world etc.
In the final version of the story, Selene actually gets involved. Amphelos shows off to his boyfriend, as teenagers in love are all too eager to do, by grabbing the horns of a wild bull and riding it bareback in the middle of the night. In his excitement he looks up at the moon and tells Selene to do her worst to him, arrogantly boasting that he is a better cattle driver than her because he is both part animal and a shepherd of animals at the same time. Rather than give him a shitty boon with a laggy animation, poor bossing and slow power scaling, Selene takes her revenge by sending a gadfly to sting the wild bull, driving it mad and causing it to throw Amphelos from its back. The bull then gores him to death and tramples him, and Dionysus saves his broken and dying body by transforming him into a plant, which he names after Amphelos to honour him. From there he makes wine, is driven mad by Hera, etc etc.
In Hades he doesn't seem particularly hung up about anything to do with grapevines, so I assume the devs went with the earlier and less tragic backstory to his wine-making. Not that I think that's stopped Hades' Dio from being any less gay or any less into satyrs, given the number of nude satyrs kicking around his bathing pool. That said, it is interesting Dio hasn't mentioned his grandmother at all in either game, especially given that in this one her husband is now back and tearing up shit all over Olympus. I assume that this is because the man is so shitfaced he doesn't seem to grasp that Chronos took Zagreus prisoner or recognize Mel beyond her being a buzzkill, but also, it seems like Dio is trying his utmost to deny the severity of the situation his family is in. Talking about his grandmother or his awkward childhood hiding from Hera would inevitably bring up connections to Chronos and his current situation hiding away from both Chronos and the other Olympians (especially Athena and Zeus) because of his refusal to fight. So, it's possible Dio hasn't so much as mentioned either part of his heritage simply because it would kill the vibe at his end of the world party. It does make me wonder what Rhea herself is doing in all of this, though, given she's still out there somewhere…
I liked the part when Prometheus died. Do it again <3
This was a great video. I just finished the last of my testaments yesterday.
Then I tried out 32 fear surface. It’s rough But I’m determined to get that clear.
I just wanted to thank you for all the great content.
YES, next question
Funny green arrow at least puts a non-negligible amount of damage. Saved Breath is right there in the "only works with omega cast spam" tier of niche, except it's worse than a +30 magic item in basically every situation.
