Today I thought I’d play Hades given that every time I open my Steam library I am guilted into looking at it with all of its many shiny video game awards and its many shiny reviews, so here it is.

You forgot to change back your death defiance after your first tun this episode
Yes Mr Creamer. Canonically Zeus arranged the marriage of Hades and Persephone, it's a detail most retellings leave out because Christian writers don't want to give Hades an excuse.
Commenting for the algorithm
Well if it isnt another special only run, we had all of the those soo far
If you go back to the shield, try out a dash attack meta it's really fun. Look for hammers that increase basic attack functionality like the double hit. I basiy never block just zip around dash attacking
Daily PSA that the respawn once per room upgrade is very bad. Maybe if you're speedrunning then yes, but otherwise it's worse in almost every way as it makes it significantly harder to beat difficult rooms.
Elysium is paradise for warriors who long for endless honourable combat. In short, they exist only for battle, and you are a new ass to kick.
Thank you
Please for the love of god use every attack not just special
1: Stubborn Defiance is a noob trap. Having multiple revives for one difficult fight is much better than having one, when you don't need it in 99% of rooms
2: Use your friggin cast. Even if it is weak by itself, enemies with the blood stone stuck in them take massive bonus damage.
3: You can check out your current boons, upgrades etc. and what they do even while in the menu for selecting a new boon. Just hit the key while in the selection.
4: Later, when you have progressed more, you get various tools for influencing what gods and what boons you are offered, aiding you in making the exact build you want.
Mr Streamer please… No more spear throwing… I can't take anymore episodes of constant and never changing spear throwing…
Edit: I said that stuff before you died when you mentioned the spear… If only I had waited a few more minutes then the comment could have been me crying instead…
I took me a while to get my first winning run in Hades, and then it took more time to get the next, but at some point, something clicked, and i managed to get 23 run winning streak.
he did it again!!! so much ADHD!!!
as someone who's been playing this game since ea. and has had a speedrun record at one point (long ago). I've never had a cast build mr streamer. they suck :p but give hangover a try it's the best dps in my opinion. also YOU FORGOT TO PET THE DOG
"113 damage! That's more damage than we were doing at the end of the last run. Except for the projectile shield we were firing"
Yes, Mr Streamer, that is more damage than everything but the *basic attack of the shield*.
Please use normal attacks more, they do WAY more damage than the specials for all the weapons you have access to at the moment
Spam cast when you can.
Turn up the music.
Looks like a good run.
So now you spamming the the other button, then? Use them all! shield special for the goons, charge attack for single target.
No more spear special runs…
Just to let you know: You forgot to switch back to the unlocked revive in the mirror, remeber next run.
You can check what revive you have from the small circles over your life bar (Now you have the skelly bonus one).
And with the bonus you have from the mirror every enemy with a cast inside (Normal cast embed into the enemy when you hit them) take a lot more damage, it make a difference with bosses.
Cast work more like a a debuff tool/grenade than a direct damage tool.
You can see all the bonus from the mirror and the boons you have by pressing the back/select button on Xbox controller, at any time, even during a boon selection screen.
It's super usefull to check what you have, especially with Caos boons and temporary buff from the well of Charon.
Never played the game so suggestion could be dumb, but… I'm wondering if there is any strategic benefit to be had using a diffrent keepsake for the easy levels and switching to lucky tooth for the ones where you are likely to need it.
Brb replacing streamer with zagreus, he seems to be stealing the lines anyway
Speaking of Noita. I think the game design difference is helping you here. This game forces you to move forward while in Noita you choose when to proceed and you stayed too long on biomes and ended up dying because of that.
Mr Streamer you should really try and vary your attacks. The spear dash attack is really good and has a big range. The upgrade for it with Daedalus hammer just makes it incredibly overpowered
Can you do a full clear per episode?
I suggest to try a run without specials to vary it up a bit, personal favourite – Spear with deadalus hammer upgrade "triple attack", which creates 2 additional attacks each swing and works wonders for AOE. For cast tremendously good against bosses is the Aries upgrade, the swirling blade. All calls are pretty great, but dont sleep on aphrodites charm, it can deal thousands of damage in one click.
There is something absurdly funny about calling a mythology, "the original cannon".
Finally he sees the wall slams
Once you get used to the shield a bit more you should use the normal attack and try to push them into walls. It does a lot more damage and get rid of armor really quickly because of it so you can stun lock them.
