Zagreus' Secret | Hades #4



Today I thought I’d play Hades given that every time I open my Steam library I am guilted into looking at it with all of its many shiny video game awards and its many shiny reviews, so here it is.

  1. I can see why people saying you sleeping on cast, it's not about how powerful they're, you have boiling blood upgrade maxed, so even if your cast is unupgraded, it's worth casting just to put bloodstone on enemy to trigger the bonus damage

  2. a suggest i have is trying builds that have you use mechanics you arent normally, like artemis is good for cast builds, athena encourages you to attack enemys shots rather than just dodge, and ares has one of my favorite dash builds in the game(at least from memory).
    another suggestion thats one of my personal favorites is the zues upgrade for the spear special

  3. The critical on attack absolutely does work on the chain attacks. Every other "on attack" boon applies each time a projectile bounces, so I'm reasonably certain that the critical effect works with each bounce.

    My personal favorite weapon is the shield, I highly suggest you try it out.

  4. I just want to second that you need to get used to using every type of attack every run. It's not an "I'll use just the special/attack/cast" kind of thing. It's more like an action RPG where everything has its place. Just takes practice, and also will be more incentivised as you progress. I'm really enjoying watching you explore the game! Thanks to this series I finally put the effort into 100%ing it on Steam lol. Now I just need that last statue (never happening).

  5. EDIT: those timed survival rooms give no gold if you ignore the enemies, its actually a great oppertunity to get a fair bit of it if you can kill shit fast.

    Im not sure how much the other commenters hinted at this, but id suggest talking to npcs as much as possible, you may get hints at improving your weapons with the titan blood.

  7. Please remember your charge-up whirly attack. It's the spear's main source of AOE damage and it's pretty good. Plus, it counts at an attack so it benefitrs from your attack boons.
    The bow bounces do too. Usually if you ask "does this count as x" the answer is yes
    Edit: The calls aren't incredible but they are way better than they're giving them credit for. Posidon's is like 8 seconds of ivulnerability at max charges. I recommend Athena's for that reason. No frills, just a defensive panic button

  8. I'm sure you'll be getting a lot of this, but you really should have at least tried the special in actual combat. It would help for clearing out enemies when you are stuck in corners and whatnot.

  9. 8:22 The bow's special is underwhelming at a base, but keep an eye on Daedalus Hammers. Some of the hammer abilities really make special-based bows a lot more fun, especially when you get point blank and shotgun bosses with the spray

  10. Youre doing very well so far mr creamer. Also,for the spear,the spin would really benefit your playstyle,as it can get insane range,currently you seem to ninda monoculture your runs where you only use one type of attack,and while that is viable for many runs E.G Artemis Cast Run, for others it will just make elysium a brick wall. Also also,the more gifts yoi give to a god, the more hearts they have in the codex, the more hearts, the higher the odds of higher rarities in their boons, slightly. Most gods that you get boons from have the same keepsake, "next boon is from X god +10/20/30 % chance of being rare or better" exception being hermes because he doesnt give conventional boons, as he doesnt have any of the 5 big slots he can give you. They mainly exist to allow you to control the gods you have to influence your run,and its generally a good idea to befriend everyone you can, due to many of those questlines leading to a big reward. Also the skulls indicate a miniboss, and the reward is doubled if its keys or darkness or simmilar, or improved rarity if its a boon

  11. Watching you play this in the morning the last few days has equaled me spending the rest of the day playing the game on my switch and it’s been fun 🙂 once you put doom on the bow special it’s perfect for destroying large amounts of small enemies it’s also good for destroying all the projectiles from the witches

  12. Please stand at the cliff areas at the end of the courtyard of hades, asphodel and elysium. They give a great view and are a good place to start or end episodes.

    Also button mash one time to get a feel for using all your abilities instead of just one. For example you can use your attack to inflict weak with aphrodite and dash with athena to get backstab and the crit with Artemis to massive amounts of damage. You can also upgrade your bow charge time if you want with the Daedalus hammer upgrade.

    Also you can buy upgrades from shops the more you have of a type the more the game connects dots and gives you more combinations, legendarys or duo boons.

    Zeus also has an ability with chain lightening on attack that has great synergy with the chain shot Daedalus upgrade on the bow. Though chain Zeus is really powerful too. All Zeus abilities are pretty strong and have amazing upgrades from Zeus that make em stronger.
