SB Returns To Hades 17 – This Sword Is Heavy



And my arms are so tiny.

We have finally reached the 1.0 release of Hades, the new action roguelite from Supergiant Games in which you defy the god of death, wield legendary weapons of myth, and get murdered over and over again by giant flaming skulls. Is the labyrinth of Hades truly inescapable?

  1. Man, the spambots are everywhere today.
    So it looks like the Billowing Strength boon activates as soon as you hit your Call. The base damage of it is 300 but you're always hitting for 400 in this run!

    I would argue that getting guaranteed Epic rarity boons right before Styx is great, you're looking at a minimum of 3 really great boons to polish your build before fighting Hades.

    As you can imagine, getting Exit Wounds out of Artemis is amazing with the Poseidon sword. And if you can get the Lightning Strike duo boon of hers with Zeus, well…

  2. I think I'd have been fairly happy to take gauge capped at 25% with Poseidon's call and use it the way I try to use Athena's, to reposition and cheat incoming bursts of damage. Good with the damage buff after using call too. Generally I like it the least out of all the calls though, because of the loss of control.

    I take more damage using the sword than anything else too, because it's just so fun to dash in and chunk mobs, so I rate healing and defense upgrades on these runs a lot higher. But yeah, you were never even offered positive outlook or different league this time.

  3. The chariots sound like cats because they are emblazoned with the mythical Neman Lion.
    Edit: If you're planning on a Poseidon sword run with Artemis, exit wounds is going to be a much more attractive prospect.

  4. I do wonder how Asterius' pattern changes if you slay Theseus first. You're clearly incentivized to kill the ol' Minotaur first, but letting Asterius finally say his word in the stadium without Theseus around to smother it out would be interesting.

  5. I love your videos, however, I do have to admit that I'm a bit upset that you don't choose support fire more often. You seem to not understand the additional amount of damage that comes from it…..
    I didn't finish the video before posting this 😜

  6. You might be making a better long term investment by trying to fill out all the different prophesy tags on the boon list instead of just sticking to the ones you like the most. Also, it's best to give Thanatos his Nectar when you meet him in the underworld. He's not always in the House.
