Edit: Your wife is right, gravy is trash.
second
Yknow me always gotta be third or first never second
0:18 just too funny
Surface is definitely harder than underworld. I never wanted to take Hephy, but now I feel like he is a must for surface runs. Maybe he got a bit of a buff or possibly I was sleeping on him, but his armor melting boon is nice for Olympus and he gives a lot of safety. I'm still not keen on his strikes, though.
I wish we could see Artemis 2 times like Hermes, even if she isn't a "full boon giving God" anymore, I just want all the crit sources ðŸ˜
If only you could control the Rock keepsake from Echo better…
So after the tierlist i did go back to check up on artemis to just reevaulate it (because it had been a while, even with pan i just don't enjoy daggers) and while it is just as strong as I remember, I'd forgotten how bad the gamefeel of the omega attack is, because it doesn't lock on to enemies properly and you move slower as you're charging it and you can't quick tap release it and have to hold it a bit, and it is one of those omegas where the attack comes out and then omega attack starts charging (like mel staff, unlike axe) which wastes one of the limited crit strikes you get when you parry; if SGG just fixes the feel of the omega attack then it'd be great but as it is half of artemis's central gimmick just doesn't work well (parry is great i at least really like parry)
I like big crits and I cannot lie
Always appreciate hearing Death’s Door soundtrack on your stream
Surface isn't harder, until you reach the end of Thessaly. I've lost so many runs to Eris pre-Olympus patch it's infuriating. Now that she's nerfed, it's Prometheus who's clowning on me. I think it may be intentional to make the end of the surface feel like a final boss. I love the non-linear level design though, it keeps things fresh.
Poor Americans don't know about the culinary joys of roast potatoes and gravy
There is still one generation of gods above the Titans in Greek Mythology, Uranus and Gaia, the Sky, and Earth which created the Titans, the Cyclopes, and the Hecatoncheires. In theory, the story of Hades 2 could link back to those two primordial deities regarding the final conflict mentioned in the Olympus patch notes.
9:06 We both said "what?" at the same time in the same way. That's bewildering. BAFFLING. What a take.
This aspect needs a serious rework.
Also yes, the surface is harder, but I don't know how much of that is really intended, since it's early acces and was just introduced.
I think if they added some more dialogue about the surface being uncomfortable for Mel even with the incantation and making it harder to do everything and harder to fight they could "explain" story wise how its harder without it having to be (story wise) that enemies are just stronger, that plus Mel specifically trained to get to and kill chronos
Heyyy, I think the way this aspect is supposed to be played is you should try to always land omega attacks instead of normal attacks after parrying. at least that's how I play this aspect and this is by far the safest aspect for me cause of that. It's also the aspect I killed both Chronos and Prometheus the first time (and Prometheus in the very first try too) Soo that might be the reason you're not having fun playing this aspect I think?
I don't normally feel the need to comment on things like this but gravy on mashed potatoes is literally the best way to eat mashed potatoes 😊
My personal theory about why the surface is harder is because of Mel’s underworld curse holding her back- she does say that she cannot fully dispel it, merely delay it. Perhaps the enemies aren’t hitting any harder or aren’t stronger at all, it’s just that Mel is weaker and gets damaged more easily on the surface. Chronos might still be objectively the strongest threat in the game but mel is fighting him in a place she isn’t weakened in.
never played this game should i get it on my steam deck?
From a narrative perspective, the Surface being harder makes perfect sense because Chronos is directing his forces towards Olympus, and thus you have to bear the full brunt of his army while making your approach to Olympus’s peak. In return, the gods give you more boons, which is also why on the Surface it’s much easier to get stronger earlier on.
As for Prometheus being harder than Chronos, I think that’s simply because we haven’t faced Chronos at his full power. He’s holding something back because he knows we can’t actually beat him yet.
Aspect of Artemis is one of my favorites because of the free shield. Never try to build anything around it and it always turns out great
