I only just beat Chronos and the other boss two days ago. Movement was so important, but also, I had to learn their moves like crazy. I sometimes turned my brain off to fight, but this game makes you learn every aspect of the fight.
Also, especially if you're coming from Hades 1, use your cast. Even if you're on twin blades or axe, it's a useful tool to give breathing room while magic regens or Hephy cooldowns tick.
And if you're on one of the ranged weapons, it's your most important zoning ability. It still slows his standard movement and it makes his slash-dash a joke.
Honestly I've played enough roguelikes I've gotten down his pattern after 4 or so tries. I think the game is incredible. Just keep grinding, the best way to get better at these kind if games is to start trying to teach yourself to reflexively dodge using your peripheral vision while watching bullets.
Artemis daggers are utter horseshit, fully blocks the damage of his 1 hit kills in order to buff yourself? on the best weapon in the game already? go fuck em up.
Best perk in the game is the one that prevents you from taking more than 15 dmg from a single hit. That combined with some hp and you can beat Chronos. I believe in you guys
This makes me sad to hear. I liked Hades 1 because I knew I could eventually win with incremental bonuses coupled with skill gain and game knowledge. Knowing that Chronos is just BS will remove Hades 2 from my wishlist.
I plan on making a Moonaxe build where I get every apollo and hermes buff I can but I only need one buff from Hephaestus. I plan on making my build truly the Gauss experience, send Chronos back to the depths of the Underworld with same day shipping
Eventually Chronos becomes manageable. I can beat him with no Fear and no Death Defiance now, but it took A LOT of getting my ass kicked first. Definitely much harder than the first game, though.
THIS. The only time I’ve beaten Chronos is with the daggers doing insane dps with insane dodge chance and massive movement speed buffs. And even then the final phase nearly knocked me flat on my ass, took my death defiance with that massive blast wave attack
As someone who is bad at games, the only way i ever beat Hades was with a double boon (posidom and aphrodite or artemis i think) that gave me health regen.
Biggest tip that might be throwing off players: Chronos is not slowed down by most effects. He's the titan of time, so he doesn't care if you slowed things down to cast a spell, he's rushing you down all the same (unless he gets a little chilly from frost effects, those do slow him)
Just use the Apollo boon on the axe and max out your attack asap, and get good at using your shield special and practice dashing between attack animations to change your position without withholding attacks or failing to progress in your attack combo. Oh and grab the well hex for healing if you're bad and max it's healing fast
Pro tip, gamers: If you wanna burn through magic like the Chicago Bulls, the Boon you are looking for is “Born Gain” from Hera. It’s infinite mana with a downside that you have every tool needed to easily make negligible. I don’t know why the Queen subscribes to the Golgari school of tax fraud, but I’m here for it.
The one thing I love about Chronos is the fact that instead of poopsocking a game, YOU'RE the one getting poopsocked.
By this I mean, you're not allowed to pause while fighting him. If you have to get up to do something else, and you pause thinking that's something you're allowed to do, you're going to come back to the game unpaused, and you will most likely be dead
Additional notes: if you’re like me and you got better at games between hades 1 and 2 you’re probably like; “I’m not gonna do the cheap stuff or the gimmicky stuff!”
Nah fuck that, Demeter been saying these hands rated T for Thee. They came to scrap, she came to give you buffs that remind you why ain’t nobody confronted her face to face about SHIT 😂
My first victory, I did actually get tanky enough for him… 4 death defiance and the boon that reduces max damage you can take to 15, then lots of health ups
Something I think that’s helped a lot with my completed runs was the Hermes boon that slows projectiles down, as (for whatever reason) it slows down all of his attacks in general. Also, burst damage is just insanely useful.
Ever heard of Phenix Skin ? It's a nice little duo boon between Apolli and Hestia that removes 100 max HP but gives you a permanent HP regen without cap. Pair that with a little bit of stall, and you cannot die.

Better/worse/comparable to the first game?
The other thing about Hades 2 is flirting with Nem
You know who knows a little bit about Hades? Brawl commander Davriel, Soul Broker. He’s made some deals with demons and such.
I won against him exactly one time and even then I'm 90% certain its only cause i had a hestia boon that was giving me 1025% revenge damage 😂😂
Hey, 300 hp and 3 death defiance was more than enough beef for backstab build with the sister blades
Wrong. Special spam
"Move like a Warframe" always good advice.

Play lame, win games.

another lesson:

Mald warframe roasts when?

People dont use Ensnare for some reason or only try left clicks. Eris is so much harder than Chronos imo
Not the Bulls lmaaaoooo your punchlines always deliver
Chronos pretty hot ngl
Surprising literally no one the guy with the antifa flag as his pic is crying on the Internet because he can't accomplish something… Yet again.
this, I got luck and ko's him by the skin of my teeth,
also I need to see a maldhond warframe series now
Getting Warframe references in a Hades 2 short by MaldHound? Must be Christmas.
Mald knows about Warframe? Yo!!!! wheres my Saryn roast at?
Yea hades 2 is wayy harder than hades. 15 fear is barely doable where I did 32 heat easy in hades.
You can also beat him with the axe because the block is pretty good vs Kronos.
I like my victory like I like my beer. Raw
I plan on making a Moonaxe build where I get every apollo and hermes buff I can but I only need one buff from Hephaestus. I plan on making my build truly the Gauss experience, send Chronos back to the depths of the Underworld with same day shipping
Favorite way to fight him is with the Pan aspect for the daggers and get the 16 spread of the special. Give Chronos the barrage treatment
I got to him for the first time just now with 280 hp and 2 death defies. Got torn apart XD.
Eventually Chronos becomes manageable. I can beat him with no Fear and no Death Defiance now, but it took A LOT of getting my ass kicked first. Definitely much harder than the first game, though.
You mentioning Warframe hit me like a fucking flashbang

I had like 22 moon water heals like 99 each and then got one shot by his second phase 😂
Bath time with hot gods baby
A Haphaestus Sprint build with a supplementary source of damage like the Aphro Zeus Duo is very strong and safe.
Also Day MALD of asking for Yorion Sky Nomad

I did not expect the warframe reference. Now I need you rating them all on hitability.
I love the comparisons so much. Vauban, better than the greek gods
I mean you could also get the Demeter infusion with 6 Earth element, that makes it so you can't take more than 15 damage from any single hit
With that it's pretty doable to win with like 200 health, you can take 13 hits before you die assuming every hit is dealing 15 damage
Also remember to use your damn cast, it's a lot easier to kill grandpa when you strap cement shoes to him

Oh, I have to get it now. I made it a mission to be able to first run Hades. I'm sure I'll make it a mission for this one as well.

Wait Mald, do you actually play warframe? or used to? if so do you have a favorite frame? Other than Wisp because we all know she can get it.
