17:41 Aetos did not appreciate what you had to say lmfao
How do you get the requirements for boons to show up?
holy shit the build came together so painlessly n looks fun as hell to play!! damn apollo never gives me his legendary when im gunning for it rip
Since your build is obviously eligible for Sun Worshipper, you probably could have taken it and made a minion of the first enemy you punched in each encounter. Oh well, just imagine how hilarious that would have been.
Looks like your build pretty much went like the One Punch Man, Saitama, since all you needed to defeat most enemies was a fully charged Omega punch.
Couldn’t you have used the grape juice on the omega special to give each rocket +100 power?
Prometheus is going to be insane with extreme measures
wait…. does the grape juice effect every rocket in a special/omega special??? that would be nuts if so
Wow, an actually viable Omega Attack build. Putting this one on the to-do list
7:22 not u doing a twenty one pilots reference
And to think there are people in the Hades II Discord unironically saying that Prometheus is too *easy*.
And now, back from writing about terrestrial crocodiles for the Museum of Nature, some Greek Mythology Trivia:
Apollo is most commonly known as the God of the Sun…or Music…or Poetry…or Medicine…or Youth and Boyhood…or Prophecy…or Shepherds…or…you get the picture. Apollo is what I like to call a 'wastebasket God', a God who took on a large collection of unrelated duties that were not ascribed to a specific deity beforehand. In some cases this is because the God is obscure and so are their duties, but in Apollo's case (like with Dionysus or Athena) it's because the God is quite popular and had many devotees praying to him for many reasons. But per his mythology Apollo is first and foremost the God of Prophecy (very weird they gave this power to Prometheus in Hades II when his gig was more being smart enough to see potential futures rather than literally tell the future in most myths). The child of Zeus and a goddess or mortal (depending on the version) named Leto, Leto struggled mightily with Apollo's birth.
Per the Homeric Hymn to Apollo (the same Homer who wrote the Odyssey and Illiad), nowhere would safely house Leto during her pregnancy for fear of Hera's wrath. The original hymn makes it seem like the physical locations themselves would refuse to house her, although this conflicts with the idea of Earth being personified by Gaia rather than multiple distinct locations all being different beings, so I think it makes more sense to imagine it being the communities there. Either way, Leto wandered land and sea looking for a place to deliver her baby (being heavily pregnant this would have been exhausting, I'm sure), until she came upon a tiny island, Delos, which she foretold would bring the island prosperity and renown across the world. However, Delos revealed to Leto that the other lands that had refused to house her had all heard a prophecy about Apollo, that he would be a great and lordly God who would bring prosperity to all the lands of the Earth and bring dominion to both the Heavens and the Earth. Thus, they were afraid the homeland would be cast aside to face Hera's wrath while the rest of the world prospered under the new divinity. Leto eased their fears by swearing on the River Styx itself (effectively her immortal soul) that she would honour Delos as long as she lived, and make sure Apollo did the same.
Thus did Delos house her, and become one of the two great temples to Apollo and a landmark of Ancient Greece despite the size of the island. Apollo's birth itself was a process, though, as Hera had waylaid the Goddess of childbirth on Olympus with gifts and social obligations to further deny the birth process. This caused Leto's labour to take nine days (personally, were it me I would become the Goddess of Hera Haters if she caused me to endure nine days of childbirth…) until one of the other Goddesses, Iris, took pity on Leto and bribed the Goddess of childbirth with an amber necklace the size of a small room to come down from Olympus and fulfil her duty. Leto's dramatic struggle had attracted the attention of many Gods and Goddesses besides Iris, and when he was finally born they showered him with gifts, making him a golden child from birth. This is why Artemis sarcastically refers to her brother as being the favourite and the golden child–despite being twins, she isn't even mentioned in the Homeric Hymn and is often said to have had to serve as a midwife for her twin because she was born first. He was showered with gifts, including golden bands and a beautiful white robe, and since Leto was too weak to nurse him after nine days of childbirth, he was raised up on nectar and ambrosia gifted to him by the other Gods.
This transformed him immediately from a baby into a powerful, eternal youth who was able to break the bands upon his arms and legs and brought light wherever he went. This is why he has the boons Perfect Image, Blinding Sprint and Dazzling Display–he literally brings light where he walks, and he is divinely perfect and beautiful in appearance. Again, part of why Artemis and Heph resent him. He was born the family's perfect little baby. As for why Exceptional Talent is one of his boons, in another telling (Callimachus' Hymn to Delos) Delos was actually once a minor Goddess named Asteria, and it was Hera's own son Ares and her handmaiden Iris who enforced Hera's decree that no land harbour Apollo's birth. Apollo foretold that many lands would suffer disaster if they gave birth to him, sending his mother visions of prophecy from within the womb and helping her search for a land that would safely house them both. But Asteria had been pursued by Zeus before she prayed to become an island rather than suffer his advances, and she cared for another one of Zeus' victims more than she feared Hera. Thus, in direct defiance of Hera's decree, she housed Leto and let her give birth upon her shores, which Apollo foretold from within the womb was the best outcome. Hera, unwilling to strike another who had refused her cheating husband's advances, honoured Asteria's wishes and withdrew her wrath against Leto, and Asteria became the permanently tethered island of Delos. When Apollo was born, he turned everything on the island into solid gold, and seven swans swam in a circle around the island, each one foretelling Apollo's love of music and invention of the lyre (a seven-stringed instrument with chords like a swan's neck).
Almost immediately after being born, Apollo requested that he be brought instruments and composed the first Paean, a type of Ancient Greek poem or song expressing praise or thanksgiving, presumably for his birth. He used the materials his sister brought him from her hunts, entrails and goat horns, to construct the earliest seven-stringed lyre, the most common musical instrument in Greece. Apollo was said to be so divinely talented at music because he could 'hear' or 'see' the harmony of the universe and its motions thanks to his status as God of Prophecy, which allowed him to move and act in tune with the universe at all times. This is why in his Trial his attacks pulse in a rhythm of three and why his Prominence Flare and Glorious Disaster Cast boons do much the same at a more rapid pace. It's also why he tries to bond with Mel over witchcraft, comparing the words of power Mel uses in her spells to the rhyme and rhythm he uses in his poems. And, of course, as in this build, it's why Exceptional Talent hits twice in a row rather than simply powering up the attacks, as if Mel's strikes were being linked into a harmonious rhythm to be used against her enemies.
do you know how hestia legendary interacts with the dragon fire and Prom flames?
