► Hades 1.0 Full Release Story Synopsis
Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.

Dash-Strikes count as Attacks mostly, but Attacks are not Dash-Strikes. So if you have Doom on Attacks, they're also applied on Dash-Strikes. Same goes for the Special and Dash-Upper on Malphon.
Bosses are generally immune to the most debilitating effects, like Petrification and Charm.
You don't get the boss rewards (Titan Blood, Diamonds etc.) no matter how high your heat if the recommended heat wasn't completed fully. So if you finished up to heat 7, you HAVE to finish heat 8's bounties before you get them for higher stuff. There is no reason to do higher heat that the max recommended except bragging rights.
EDIT: Good grief, you figured it the exact moment after I paused the video to type this at the start of Elysium. Maybe I need to get a fucking clue and watch the whole damn video before commenting, since this has happened so many times lol.
Don't worry about not doing perfectly on each run, Welonz. I've done like 130 runs and you're kicking my ass in the escape percentage and streaks, and just playing better in general. Not to mention you've been killing it past few runs.
You saw that hades reacted to you using his max aid against himself, you can do the same against the gods in the trials. You anger the god which you have the aid from and use it at max gauge. And at the end Demeter said something I think because of the legendary boon.
Also to decrease your time with the shield probably switch the first talent from the mirror to do more damage from behind
38:48: Yepp, it's the second try you try heat 13 with the shield, so you only got darkness.
1:31:29 Perfect comedic timing, Welonz. That got an audible laugh out of me.
Meg's alternate portrait and badge, yes! 😀 1:27:55 the way she says "Guess I'll be seeing you around" <3
Dusa is really funny too though the closer you get to her lol
You had a hard time mid run due to the conjunction of shield + chaos curses + benefit package + double damage control. I tend to avoid these last 2 from the pact since the prophecy was done. Benefit package can be ok sometimes but since it's randomized it can also be a real pain, and damage control is too annoying for everything that should die in 1 hit.
As a polyamorous bisexual, I endorse Zag's taste in romantic arrangements most wholeheartedly. I've dated three people at once before, it's great.
Just a couple of things to say today. One, don't worry about not dealing as much damage with Aegis, it's designed for primarily defenses. What with being a shield and all. Second, you missed a fishing spot on Elysium.
You know it's serious when Meg is smiling on the thumbnail
Killing Hades with Demeter's Legendary Boon, holy cow! I figured that wouldn't work on bosses!
Also, finally caught up on the series, and the game looks amazing! Hope Hades gets a GOG release soon; I'm not touching Steam again with a 10-foot pole if I can help it. EDIT: …And a Linux version, or else a 90% discount. Seems good enough to be worth putting up with WINE for, but I'm still not buying games that don't have native Linux versions except on a deep discount.
Sees special hammer. Takes Bull Rush hammer. Spams attack.
A small thing too, bosses are immune to knockback, so the Poseidon boon that gives damage bonus to bosses when you use your abilities with knockback, is basically just trading the knockback effect for a flat damage bonus against bosses. Not necessarily the best thing on the planet, but definitely makes Poseidon's boons more worth it in the long run
Damage Control definitely changes the way you have to play (you really shouldn't have Fiery Presence on), but what's really beating your ass in this run is Benefits Package. It's definitely in the top three most difficult Pact conditions.
Damage control is the worst heat option.Dont ever do it unless for high heat runs.It always adds time.
I know this is a bit late but do you think you'll be playing danganronpa V3 or alien isolation anytime soon?
Hypnos DOES still have lots of things to say on your deaths! Just not for the 'taken by the Styx' deaths that you get when you succeed in a run! 🙂 You are, as DJ Khaled would say, suffering from success ;P
I can't speak for everyone, but I personally find the Shield to be the slowest weapon to clear a run with. I think it's a tradeoff for how versatile it is and how much utility it provides
I laughed when I realized reading what Demeter's legendary boon does again, and then how Hades had a decent chunk of health and then POOF. it means essentially any enemy dies at 10% health…including Hades I guess. It's cool that they had a friggin' line from Demeter for that situation too, so the devs knew Demeter's legendary boon would have that effect on Hades.
I have to say, I don't think, just from watching your play, there's any better single boon than Support Fire. like, jfc. it's just such a massive boost to DPS. probably even better with the Rail, the Bow, and the Fists.
hi would it be rude for me to suggest a game to play for u?
sorry i dont know how to contact u, so i write it here^^
01:17:04 Zagreus (to Hades): "My Dad could kick your ass!"
Hades: "… the fuck?"
Bouldy's "boons" do typically have a small effect (all except the one you got), but imo only worth getting if you're trying for every last edge on a given run, or you just have nectar to burn. I don't think there is a higher affinity level for him.
Hermes is such a bro, and that interaction with Zagreus "sending a letter" to him was so good!
