Game Description:
Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
BATTLE OUT OF HELL
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.
UNLEASH THE FURY OF OLYMPUS
The Olympians have your back! Meet Zeus, Athena, Poseidon, and many more, and choose from their dozens of powerful Boons that enhance your abilities. There are thousands of viable character builds to discover as you go.
BEFRIEND GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
A fully-voiced cast of colorful, larger-than-life characters is waiting to meet you! Grow your relationships with them, and experience thousands of unique story events as you learn about what’s really at stake for this big, dysfunctional family.
BUILT FOR REPLAYABILITY
New surprises await each time you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld, whose guardian bosses will remember you. Use the powerful Mirror of Night to grow permanently stronger, and give yourself a leg up the next time you run away from home.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Permanent upgrades mean you don’t have to be a god yourself to experience the exciting combat and gripping story. Though, if you happen to be one, crank up the challenge and get ready for some white-knuckle action that will put your well-practiced skills to the test.
SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
The rich, atmospheric presentation and unique melding of gameplay and narrative that’s been core to Supergiant’s games is here in full force: spectacular hand-painted environments and a blood-pumping original score bring the Underworld to life.

8:42 meh, what do words mean anymore anyway?
2:46 now I wanna see you see that joke pay off.
From what I’ve seen of those renovations they unlock dialog with various characters
I really like aspect of Zeus.
2:07:15
Yea, about that Hades
Ever heard about disowning someone? Parents included?
Hmm, i suppose back in Greeck Gods times there where no restraning orders. That would solve the issue of… frisky bulls and so on.
Welp, gotta perma kill him somehow then, or at least seal him up. Chaos seems like a pal. Release one and put the other there!
One coward build I did was Smoldering Air with Shield and Artemis Call. Her call comes in fifths instead of quarters, so Smoldering Air charges it up pretty fast. And so, what I did for most of the fight was sit back in a corner, keep blocking and just spam call as soon as available. Turns out sometimes hitboxes can reach you behind shield somehow but other than that it worked surprisingly well!
1:07:20 Drunken Dash: when it says it causes hangover several times, is it being literal in a 3 or more fashion or is it trying to vaguely say it’s an aoe?
I don't think I'd play this game, but I do love watching it, and listening to it. I might just have to buy it for the soundtrack.
I like being a piece of s*** and throwing my shield to the middle of the room and slapping people into it
It’s fun watching you go from new to picking and choosing boon directions and planning builds, I’ve been watching several folks including Andrew play this game and I’ve noticed the same constant, everyone hates Poseidon but he often ends up useful in builds wether everyone likes it or not. He seems so be a love hate relationship for boons
Hades is the kind of guy that has his house full of pictures of his dog…
Also, when you used your Zeus's Called, he said "Beware"
So the Slam against walls ability does actually work on bosses, they're just fairly resistant to knock-back. If you can bring them close to a wall you can do an upsetting amount of damage
1:35:12 remember when you struggled here? That melt was pretty
Always editing Wazowski. Alllwaaays editing…
–Ok, so here's the thing: If you got a reward of Darkness every other room, you'd be healing ~6 every other room, or 3 per room average. And your build would suck. Alternatively, you could just be healing 3 per room, regardless of reward. The Darkness healing is good for non-bounty runs, as you heal a lot after boss fights, but for the love of all that is holy, PLEASE switch to the other one for progress runs.
6:00 So… I do love your method of fishing. It's brilliant. But… It's not getting you any Perfect Catches. When you catch a fish, you have about a 40% chance in my experience (wiki and such say 5%, but I definitely get them more than 5% of the time) to get a Rare(?) fish, or you get the default. If you're quick enough, however, the banner says Perfect Catch, and you will get AT LEAST a Rare(?) fish with a 40% chance of Legendary. To be quick enough, you have to open your eyes and watch for the flash, while ignoring the fakeout bobs. The flash is the only thing that indicates a fish and you have to click it basically as it makes the sound. (1:02:36 ….I stand corrected.)
–YES! Extreme Measures is not only the best first point to put in, it's also the only Heat point that queues new conversations and dialogues.
17:27 Yes. Bosses, even including Hades, explode instantly at 10% health with that Legendary. I think it even does a special animation, but I'm not sure. I haven't had that legendary in any run early enough to know if the animation shows on other bosses.
45:19 It's not that deep down. Once you have a Doom effect, you get Doom stacking. Ares is interesting in that he has 2 trees: Doom and Blade Rift, and a bunch of non-tree boons.
47:05 Poseidon, Artemis, Dionysus, and Hermes don't have Revenge effects. The other 5 do: Lightning, Doom, Deflect, Weak, and full Chill can all pulse every 3s. It's a rather situational but VERY powerful Duo.
1:01:05 So back when I played RIFT, there was a class called the Cabalist, which had DoTs that would damage everything around the target. It sucked against bosses, but out in the field, it was the highest dps class I played, getting numbers in the millions at a time when raid-worthy dps was around 4k. I say this so you can imagine your Blitz disc hitting multiple foes, each of which get struck by aoe lightning that also hits each enemy. It may not be chain lightning, but it is quite powerful.
1:17:45 Every one of those enemies you've killed has dropped thier spectral weapon in place. A little surprised you haven't noticed by now, but no big deal. Those weapons are how the floating souls that pop out respawn themselves, and they will respawn as whatever weapon they find.
1:46:10 It requires you to have a main slot boon that does Chill. Her cast doesn't chill unless you upgrade it to.
End: *applause* Good run. A bit of a filler conversation with Persephone this time, but they had to pad it out to the appropriate number of wins somehow. And I suppose it was a turning point in the conversation about motives. Anyway, you're almost halfway to the credits! Great series!
Actually, your first interpretation of Demeter's Rarity boon was correct. Clearing 12 encounters takes you from common to heroic on one to three boons.
ares duo boon curse of longing is insanely strong, but doom is great for slow attack, aoe attack, or specials that can apply the debuff to many enemies. zues was best for shield special here
That opening convo is why I love Hypnos, he's such a dickhead. "Try evading, Meg!"
there's no "stacking" of the doom effect. doom effect is always binary, the enemy either has it or doesn't. stackable effects show as an icon + number, like chill and hangover. the only thing that boon does is, if you inflict doom on someone who already has it, instead of doing nothing, you buff the damage by 10. the doom effect is still just the one they already have. there's no 2x doom.

If you really want Aphrodite to stick in your mind, the jingle in the beginning of this might do just that. (did for me)
Dude! Demeter is your grandma! You don't pick anyone over your granny!
Respect your granny gents and always pick her boon
