If you’re waiting for a patch notes vid, I’m afraid I’ve decided to forego it this time since there is very little to go over I think. It’s mostly summed up with Olympus getting easier, feel free to ask me questions though if you’d like!
Yes, Athena’s keepsake is bugged as much publishing this video from what we can tell.

I always get scammed of athena on eris biome :/
Had the same issue with Athena in Thessaly, so I removed her keepsake for Olympus and just got her natural spawn
mfn googly rockets
Yeah, I never had an issue with her in the underworld, but there are definitely some things wrong with her on the surface.
Hello piggies.
That's happen today with me too
i got scammed out of Athena in Olympus recently, having her fully upgraded keepsake equipped :c probably shouldn't happen, hope they fix it
I use cat for a few reasons. First, I am bad at the game and I need this extra DD often. Second, I hate fishing minigame and I need a lot of bones for Nightmare trading. And last, but not least, I like cats and waking up this lazy bastard is a fun minigame to me.
Couldn't see a damn thing in the promethius fight with all the explosions going off
I don't understand why Moros is considered an "easy to use" weapon. I am not that good at the game surely, but I find torches one of the most complicated weapons in the game. You need to cast Omega Special constantly, run into groups of enemies and use attacks also to stagger and not forget to reapply specials. It is a very difficult for me to keep watching specials, attacks and enemy positions at the same time.
Huh, I met Athena through her keepsake just fine today, in oceanus tho
1:36 I recently had an enemy spawn in riiiight after Athena's damage got dealt. I killed it and she left without giving me anything lmao
Got scammed in fields of mourning with Athena's keepsake, just assumed it didn't work there but it feels stupid to have a mechanic that just makes the player feel bad 1/10th of the time.
i kinda wished Helios was also in game and could offer aspects
Athena keepsake doesn't work in surface, you always meet Athena in region 3. Athena only spawns in UNDERWORLD with Keepsake.
send this whole video to sgg for the athena bug lol
doggie!
Poseiden attack/special build seems too weak for bossing without the legendary in any run.
I think athena is just pure RNG cuz ive done five surface runs back to back and she hasn't shown up at all
Athena has a lot of different conditions that block her from spawning.
From what I can find in the code, she can't spawn naturally twice, or at all if:
You are less than 4 rooms into the current region
Her keepsake has expired (blocks natural spawn too?)
You have an active testament on the Oath of The Unseen
You have encountered Artemis, Nemesis, Heracles, Icarus, or Athena (>2 Heracles spawn) in the past 6 locations this run.
The current location is non-combat, a warden, or a guardian
The current location reward is a boon, hex, trial of the gods, hermes, hammer, pom, or path of stars
Aetos (Eagle) spawns in current location
If none of those block her spawn, then the chance of her appearing is dependent on how many times you've encountered Heracles in the past 4 runs, and if this is your first Athena encounter:
First encounter, 2 or fewer Heracles encounters in the past 4 runs: 16/37 chance per location 43%
First encounter, more than 2 Heracles encounters in the past 4 runs: 11/32 chance per location 34%
Not first encounter, 2 or fewer Heracles encounters in past 4 runs: 8/31 chance per location 26%
Not first encounter, more than 2 Heracles encounters in 4 runs: 1/8 chance per location 12.5%
Natural Athena spawns with 2 or fewer Heracles are treated as a separate event from those with more than two. However, spawns with more than 2 can still occur even if you have less than 2 Heracles, about 3/8 times. The 2 or fewer spawn is simply added to the possible encounters, but does not replace the more than 2 spawn.
For some reason, only the more than 2 spawn blocks the keepsake for 6 locations.
As far as I am aware, the keepsake inherits the same conditions as a natural spawn, though you can only get two Athena spawns if the natural one occurs first.
I believe the “more reliable” omega special is talking about when you did it back to back it would delete a few of the rockets from the first.
Not sure if it’s the correct way but Mel pronounces Hecuba in the same stress as Nebula. So more like HECK-you-ba rather than He-KOO-ba.
