I love details in games like when you beat the guitarist and drummer those tracks drop out
Arlecchino, my beloved
The traps in area 2 will REALLY mess you up there are so many!
1:04:00 There are at least 4 more Arcana Cards, seeing as Row 1 currently stops at Nr4, while Row 2 starts with Nr6.
I wonder what else there is….
The Strife blessing is increase 20% damage received every encounter. i wonder is this a early access thing to prevent us from clearing the game too quickly, or is it to make sure the player die a few times so the plot is not too messed up.
The reason zone 3 was smacking you as hard as it was, was because Eris' 'blessing' was multiplying enemy damage. The plot insists you don't get too far too soon, which. I can't say I adore, but it's certainly bragging rights that you cleared a whole zone with it on ya!
More please 🙂
Please give us more
Imagine if narcissus never gets a face and is actually just a generic faceless robed guy who thinks hes irresistible
These guys do such good games! The fact that the music on the Sirens fight goes with which one of them is up or down is a small yet huge detail. Love it 🥰
It is odd that instead of making that new 4 way attack into a + (cross with one end pointing forwards towards the mouse) they turned it into an X which accounts for why one of the path's line doesn't line up with the mouse? Maybe it's this way to balance the 50% dmg buff though a lower dmg bonus would be better to allow for an + pattern that more consistently hits.
Gimme moar!!!!! 😁 I think this will be a humorous series to watch you go through
Does anyone else think scyla's theme sounds similar to "matricide" from TBOIR's soundtrack?
Algorithm comment cuz I want more people to find Reto
From playing the game to watching your run, I realised that they always tend to give you apollo demeter and poseidon just so you can have the Charon interaction, kinda funny
A lot of people like the Sirens song because it changes, but came into it thinking about specifically how all the bosses in Transistor work, with one of the most notable being Sybil's fight with In Circles morphing into _n C_rcl_s… That does the concept amazingly and varies based on Red's health and the stage of the fight.
I'm… A little disappointed but it's still good!
Pretty good first attempt on the third boss as well. I bet you will get them next time. They dont call you Reto the God for nothing.
What a great band name.. Scylla and the Sirens ❤
Oceanus is the second area of the game. In myth, it's the name of a titan, son of Uranus and Gaia; but it's also portrayed as a great world-encircling river. This river lies near Tartarus, Elysium or the House of Hades (depends on the source).
It seems the part of Oceanus we see in-game was properly acomodated to be some sort of sewage or spring
And today we saw that Retro has zero skill on mapping the zone mentally hahaha
didnt think the demeter legendary would work on bosses but it does
I think an underrated synergy you opened up before the cerberus fight is when you increased the magic cost of your omega attack. It actually helped create more heartthrobs when you spend 30, along with the duo boon got it to where you were surrounded by the things and could tank them into the boss.
I wonder if you could prestack them before a boss fight? I didn’t pay attention to see if you carry them into the next room.
That fight against the sirens with no death defy and low max health was insane. I died so many more times on that with more health and death defies.
I saw you could check the trees in the middle of the areas, in zone 3, surrounded by golden leaves, not the "next location" trees. Maybe you could give them a look? It kept coming up with E to check whenever you got close to one.
35:56 This was my first thought too. The vastness reminded me of Diablo
–Hades 2–Even godlier
Damn, what did Chronos do to poor Cerberus. Death to Chronos indeed.
2:49 When you freeze an enemy they become immune to any further freezing for a period of time. The freeze bar above their head is a countdown to when they'll lose their immunity and you can freeze them again. There's at least one boon that lets you slightly cheat this though.

Come to the Crossroads. Death to Chronos!
I really hope something changes with the weapons. Imo they are just boring and not impactful compared to like Hades 1. When you get the upgrades on the first it fundamentally changed the playstyle. On this on its just meh and boring..
Arachne not as happy as she puts on. Hope there's a redemption arc there.
Narcissus sounds like Nicholas Cage.
Theres an icon i see on the top right when you go to another room, i think thats curse she puts on you
Hot take, the blessing of strife is probably a good thing overall. I mean half of the Hades experience is the unique dialogs you have with the npcs. It'd be a shame if you missed out on that just because youre a god gamer lol. That said, it's not a hard break either so if you're really good you get to push on with an increased chalange to match. I guess what I'm getting at is, I think this is probably the best choice for what they want to do.
Scylla "I'm gonna be a star!" literally. A star in the constellation Cetus, that's brighter than the Sun. Which is situated with a number of other oceanic constellations referred to as "The Sea." Cheeky little detail there :))
The beast reminded me of kitava from poe
A quick double check cyz I've seen a bunch struggling with aiming. But did you tick off aim assist? It's on by default regardless if you're using controller or M&KB.
Hades 1 = alright, I can do this.
Hades 2 = The f*** did I get hit by?
In zone 3 (Mourning Fields) follow the golden leaves, it should lead you to a dead tree, press Interact to gain a compass that will show you to the required room rewards (in gold) and optional rewards (in silver).
So happy this is out and you are doing a series on it.
the last area has a cauldron effect that reveals the major and minor rewards
3rd zone kinda looks similar to elysium
So… any reason why your playlist is all out of order?
"This has got to be the last zone in the early access, yeah?"
You would think…..
