Why does Hera look more indecent than Aphrodite? 😅
Zeus the dumbest god for real. Sleeping around when he got this goddess.
pride month has given us a hunk (gay guys) and a queen (gay girls) on the same run…thats beautiful
enjoy born gain while it lasts, it's essentially infinite mana once you have one or two mana upgrades. definitely not surviving the next patch
Oh man, you even got a choice for Hestias Sprint Boon which kills projectiles in the shop before the boss fight. It's soooo good specifically for Eris
Hercules is so hot
1) Hera cast can be great when you combine it with another secondary cast effect, or with the inflict hitch on incoming enemies then explosion on hitched enemy death. Everything dies the moment a bunch of things spawn in the room!
2) Pylons on the surface release shades that attack your enemies. Try to always break them mid-combat otherwise you'd be skipping tons of free damage
3) Surface hub rooms can have side rooms inside them. They'll begin after you've done a few runs, and each can contain things like centaur hearts inside them, above and beyond the main room reward
Also tips for Eris:
1) Soot Sprint is the best boon against her. Had you taken it in the shop the floor before the fight, you would've destroyed most of her bullets every time you sprinted 🙈
2) Certain weapons can shine against her. Cast affects her turning time, so when she's held in a cast and you use daggers to teleport behind her it's much easier, or if you use axe and hold special then you can block every single projectile she fires. I'd recommend those instead of staff or torches
12:55 In city of Ephyra, the goals is to freed all the shades that trapped inside the cube thing(?) and all of the shades can help you kill the enemies faster. Possibly hinting what kind of Goddess Melinoë is.
Currently, Hera cast boon can is not that good and only works in a very particular build, that you haven't unlocked yet~
…Zeus cheated on that complete smokeshow?!
~46:40 "You can't do that to yourself, that's cheating" Fun thing, Eris is a wielder of the Adamant Rail from the first game. The Aspect of Eris allowed Zag to do exactly that, hit himself with the special to increase his damage. Love when they include references like that in the gameplay
God, the duo boon dialogue between Hera and Zeus is going to be something xD
now that you've met best worst girl on the surface, a tip for beating her: Soot Sprint is absolutely broken against her because all her attacks are projectiles (except the grenade rain, still watch out for those)
55:20 "Like a tavern, but a female tavern." Lmao
If you check the character bios in the log book, the relationship tracker will tell you if they will accept the bath salts. You need a certain level of hearts before they will accept.
You can even try Eris again…
Keep in mind that you can always reroll boon rooms for different gods. Helps shape your build a bit. Also, Born Gain (Hera's magick regen boon) is ridiculously broken. With one or two magick upgrades, it's infinite mana. Next patch they're doing they are going to focus on boon balance, and it's definitely not going to survive… if you could get a run done with it while it's there you can experience unlimited Ω 😀
Going that far without any proper boons on your attack/special is kinda impressive
55:19 Yep! The Greek word for tavern is taverna which is a female noun.
The soot sprint from Hestia is one of the most powerful boons against several bosses.
I consider this run (pretty weak weapon + no main boons for attack/specials) as completely insane, and somehow you were able to go all the way to Eris lol Amazing stuff.
I'll patiently wait for you to give baths salt to Lord Moros 😈Also there are a few new interesting characters on the surface that you haven't met yet, so it's exciting!
We may have seen Charybdis, but I miss Scylla and the sirens…😢
i love thirsty welonz
Hera, and Hercules in the same episode. How fitting.
Heras magic gain is really good as you surmised. The prime penalty only begins to hurt on long fights like some bosses. Otherwise its an instant magic restore with a minor downside.
Also my friend finds the cyclopes easy but i find him really hard, especially when his other mechanics start activating
I think you need to give them more Nectar before you can give them the bathsalts.
Also eris dmg buff is from the first game, thats her rail aspect to stand in your own explosion to buff ur damage.
I love that Hera's status effect is called "Hitch." Of course it's keeping with her theme as goddess of marriage and family structure, but it's also funny.
4:31 "like Hercules." Yeah, Heracles is his Greek name. Named so as a tribute to Hera in hopes that she would take kindly to the boy (it didn't work (don't worry, they buried the hatchet later)). Hercules is the Latinized version of his name. "Mightiest of Men" seems to imply he's still mortal and hasn't yet undergone apotheosis (the act of becoming a god or being treated like a god) in the game. So I take it he's a shade that rose when the gates of Hades were swung open. 'Cause if Odysseus is dead now, then Heracles should be too. Though, and idk if the game is going to do this, I've always liked the idea that Heracles' mortal half went to Hades while his godly half went to Olympus. So if they do do it, it could be fun to watch those two halves interact.
Aw, poor Hephaestus. Being kept out of the loop. An outsider even on Olympus. Also, it makes sense he'd be against paying for godly favors. He's the god of craftsmen and the working class. So him being against a wealth barrier fits, I think.
I admit my knowledge of naval history is weaker than my understanding of the myths, but I'm pretty sure those warships are anachronistic. They're definitely not triremes. I think triremes are even namedropped earlier in the game.
Man, they really are pulling everything out of the Odyssey with Charybdis entering the fray. Eris too can be considered related, since she kickstarted the Trojan War, even though she doesn't appear in the Odyssey proper. And I've been spoiled that another character shows up later, so it seems like the only things we're missing are the Lotus Eaters and the Horse.
By far the most authentic thing in this game is the understanding that Eris is super annoying.
Shrines of Hermes? Those cowards at SuperGiant didn't have the courage to make them herms! /j
I think Taverna might be the archaic word tavern is derived from. Like how pub is short for "Public House".
Fun fact, Scylla sings about Charybdis in 'I am Gonna Claw Out Your Eyes' (during the part when she sings about you getting murdered by different kind of fish)
I think I see why everyone gives up on Eris.
Eris: "I love reloading during battle!"
People readily giving Welonz 10000 tips about how to beat Eris instead of allowing Welonz naturally to figure out how to do this in the game… Like, haven't you seen her previous videos lol Beating Chronos earlier than many other players? Defeating a cyclops with crappy weapon and zero boons for attack? Bathing with Eris before fighting with her? Welonz is a badass and she will slay in this game, you just wait and see 😼
Remember to burst the pilons in the mini-boss rooms as well.
Hera's magic regen boon is pretty busted and ensures you'll never run out of magic.
I'm 99% it will get a rework when boon patch arrives so enjoy it while it lasts!
"She is so annoying" I mean she is strife incarnate after all
I only just started being able to beat Eris myself the other day. Once you get it down you can do it a lot easier, but damn if it didn't take me forever to beat her for the first time.
Engagement Ring is very good with killing mobs of small enemies, like those fish things in Oceanus. It' also nice with stuff like Zeus' cast boon, which zaps people in your casts.
