  1. 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.

  2. 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!

  3. 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 🥰

  4. 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.

  5. 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

  6. 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!

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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..

  12. 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.

  13. 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 :))

  14. 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.

  15. 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).
