WHAT A GOOD BOY
Its funny I wanted to ask you if you got the new pets from the major update.
Would it be possible for you to in the future run selene with Apollo's legendary?
Mother Maiden Crone 🙏
No fig leaf 5 times: (0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5)*100 = 3.125%
As someone who hasn't used the aspect of Selene yet, how does that hex work as opposed to a normal hex? Does it get paths of stars too? Does it mean you cannot get offered a regular hex?
Man I wish they'd let laptop pad players unlock the familiars. Stupid broken minigame.
Trivia time!
Hecuba, also called Hecabe, started life not as the goodest of doggos but as Queen of all of Troy. She was mother to Hector and Paris and wife of Priam, and oversaw their nation's fall during the infamous Trojan War that Achilles and Patroclus from the first game both fought and died in. She didn't fare much better than them, as chronicled in the Illiad, watching all of her sons die and her daughters be sold off as concubines to Greek generals after the war. In particular, Achilles' son Neoptolemus had her youngest daughter Polyxena sacrificed as a funeral offering to Achilles at the demands of his ghost and Odysseus threw her infant grandson Astyanax from the walls of Troy in fear that if they allowed him to live he would grow up to rebuild Troy and avenge its people against the Greeks. Yay, war crimes!
She also learned she was to be sold into slavery to Odysseus, whom she hated most of the Greeks for his underhanded tactics that led to Troy's fall and her family's deaths, and that her youngest son Polydorus had been murdered by her former ally Polymestor so Polymestor could claim his inheritance for himself. In revenge, she and the surviving Trojans lured Polymestor to their tents to discuss treasure, then murdered his sons and blinded him. All of these events are chronicled in two spectacularly depressing but very good plays by the ancient Greek playwright Euripides, which survive to this day (2500 years) and are called Hecabe and The Trojan Women. This is why we find Hecuba in the Field of Mourning when she's not serving Hecate, by the way. Even in death she's still filled with despair over all the suffering she endured across her life.
Hecuba herself was then sold to Odysseus, but rather than using her as a concubine like Neoptolemus and Agamemnon did to her daughters, Odysseus requested her to be a household slave to aid his wife Penelope in her day to day duties (ever the family man, our Ody). After Odysseus allowed her to bury her remaining dead family members with the funerary rites necessary to cross the Styx and live a peaceful afterlife, she was carted off to his ship. With everything she'd suffered, Hecuba was understandably inconsolable about the loss of her entire family, the horrific fate that awaited her few surviving daughters at Neoptolemus and Agamemnon's hands and the total destruction of her people and civilization. She became so mad with grief while burying her children and grandson and leaving the ruins of Troy that she began to bark and snarl at her captors like a feral dog. From there, she was either left upon a tiny island called Kynosema (the dog's grave) or threw herself into the sea and was buried there by the Gods after the fact. Either way, she or her spirit was found by Hecate, who took pity on her for the horrors she had endured and turned her into a familiar under her protection.
Hecuba remained one of Hecate's most devoted and trusted familiars, with Hecate providing her with a new life protecting and guiding wayward souls to the Underworld by her side. This is why Hecate entrusts you with Hecuba specifically–Hecuba is one of her most talented and loyal familiars, and shares in Melinoe's task of guiding souls to the kind of peace and safety she could never enjoy in life. This is also why Hecuba digs up magic in the game proper–she's finding spirit essence for Mel to use on her journey for you. I hope that Supergiant gives her some way to reconnect with her family and ease some of her torment in the afterlife, but if not, it's a cool Easter Egg that she makes an appearance in this game. For modern adaptations of Hecuba's story, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has a novel devoted to Percy helping her process the stages of grief, while EPIC the Musical's opening number details the sacking of Troy from Odysseus' perspective and the anguish that killing Astyanax caused him in the songs The Horse And The Infant and Just A Man, with some animatics having appearances by her daughter Andromache and Hecuba herself.
I’m not gonna play high heat until the full release but I’ve learned so much about ideal combat from your videos.
You deserved the bad fig leaf for the awful use of plentiful forage
thats an f10 lowk, also make my cursed keepsake video please! keep up the good work
Thanks for the vid. I'd love to see some 32~ heat surface runs in future videos cause I'm struggling hard up there lol
I'm not sure if you were just focused on the run and didn't see them, or didn't realize this because you don't usually take the boon, but Plentiful Forage also activates when you pick Myrtle and Shaderot. It didn't end up mattering, but by my count you left 46 health behind.
is it me or does the discord link in the description not work?
I vote just keep using the preserved hope. I don't see any good reason not to and I would rather see a success than a failure
I got a duo boon in a trial in rift of thessaly but it was between a 3rd god that wasn’t present in the trial
you've inspired me to go for high fears, you make it look too easy 😂
W Selene enjoyer
no omega casts for death sadge
discord link doesnt work : /
How do you get the dog and the bird?
How does the new weapon feel on high fear? It's really fun on low fear but I haven't played it above 16 yet so idk
50 fear on aspect of nyx next? Learning so much from your 50 fear xinth runs. Just a quick inquiry on what xinth aspect you’re sure is best at 50 fear or are they somewhat very close to each other depending on the clear?
how to get the new familiers?
Fig Leaf in tartarus is the new 2 sac in Stix change my mind
You’re broken and need to be nerfed my boiii
That fig betrayal would have triggered an immediate bug report on my part ngl…thats just bs.
Hecuba is soooo good for magick aspects, really clutched up for Nyx 50f for me
Ive been playing alot of Selene coat and realized Hecate's keepsake is my really op late game. You can spam your omega moves even more
Once I had fig leaf betray me through all of the second biome on the surface
The preserved hope discussion – you can definitely see it as bug abusing but it's something in the game nonetheless that they haven't fixed. So you can do it as a challenge thing to not use it, but with Hades 1 there were bugs that people used for speedruns to get the highest speed. I even think the current highest speed in Hades 1 is because of a bug with an aspect where it advertises less damage but does a lot more damage. I'm not a fan of what aboutism and also these are two different challenges but I think it's fair to look at that example and be like, "Sure why not?"
And you can always do a challenge run where you don't use preserved hope. Das my yapping done
I feel like the antler is a way cooler keepsake for going for speed, the fig leaf is both boring and super rng… It seemed like the devs added in the antler specifically for this purpose of being super op / the fastest at the cost of being a glass cannon.
Update from my last comment. My girlfriend actually got me back into the first game cause she thought it was easy. She's playing a new game I'm continuing my game from before with low heat runs. I'm practicing to go a 32 heat win.
The familiars in hades 2 is such a huge improvement over companions in hades
Hey, now the question is, who will be the first to complete a 53, judgement run? This card finally has an use!
Bro's a cutie patootie
I have no idea what to comment but I wanna support you so heeeeey
