Looks like there are some small visual problems in the first few seconds, sorry about that 😅 I hope you guys enjoy the video!

[@tariqshort4025]

I love hades one of my favorites. Looking forward to more.

it is a different Megaera. This one is a fury the one that married Heracles is a mortal. Also it is Heracles not Hercules

Not taking divine dash at the beginning making me scream and cry and throw up fr

[@BravoRagazzo6]

I agree. He made me feel uncomfortable with the choice he picked

[@Aligames5747]

@@BravoRagazzo6 Fr bro I was actually crying at that like I get that it’s his first run but it’s also like an unspoken rule. If you break it I’m gonna cry 😭

[@x7rr_r]

honestly for a first run in a save the extra damage on the strike from divine strike can go a long way, especially if you're trying to go as far as you can while not being good enough to beat the game in the first run. edit: also having only one dash in the start of a save lowers the value of divine dash imo

[@NianJKL]

Believe it or not I’ve seen people legit beat the first few bosses with the other boons. It’s a GOOD dash but it’s not like the other choices are trash.

[@pole8740]

@@NianJKL the dash just makes it easier, not that you can’t beat the game without it but it’s just very good

mint really going down the rouge-like rabbit hole

[@sergavet]

I’m sorry (actually) but my 🤓innes is too big: it’s actually rogue-*lites*, when you die you can keep certain upgrades permanently (like new weapons in ded cells ykwim?)

[@DrKurapikaIsDrowning]

@@sergavetok so… that depends on whether or not you follow the Berlin Interpretation… which defines 8-9 traits that the game Rogue was built upon, and if a game follows all or most of them, it’s a roguelike, but if it has some or one, it’s a roguelite.

[@Alphabottt]

We need a "i played hades until i beat it"

[@xraenon1664]

Unfortunately I think at this point I he’s already on Hades 2. Still excited to see content on that though

[@mintmuffled]

nah don't worry, I'll probably 100% Hades before I move to 2. The intro was just a made up pretense on why I 'need' to beat Hades on my first try.

[@xraenon1664]

@@mintmuffled I was thinking more because Hades 2 is out by now, but that’s good to know. Though I wouldn’t recommend _truly_ 100%ing it - there are some pretty grindy things that are only worth going for if you’re already putting hundred of hours into the game just because you still enjoy it at that point.

[@TheItachi4077]

Shout out to homie who got you the game. True MVP

[@BartlebyScrivener-oz6mk]

Having hundreds of hours in the game myself it's fun watching a new player figure things out for the first time. Would love to see more!

[@bennelson6207]

The confusion about the bone hourglass is that keepsakes do not automatically equip, you have to manually switch them on before runs or after bosses at the big display looking thing you can interact with, so it was not having an effect right away when you got it

[@Vracaum]

Fourth first try is always the good one ay? Never played Hades, but watching you play it with such good explanation is really enjoyable, might grab the game later on, seems fun! Also, big props to "THE FRIEND", the "beat first try" series is really flipping good and seems to get good views, happy for you, you deserve it! Overall, banger video, thank you for listening to my TedTalk

[@mintmuffled]

Your TedTalks are always appreciate brother. I’m glad you liked it and you should definitely check out Hades! I’ll be getting all of the achievements for sure.

[@Lê-Tùng-Dương]

Now I want a "Can I Beat Slay the Spire On My Very First Try"

[@arandomperson1377]

"Well yes but actually no"

[@rieiid5867]

I mean I get the idea but beating 1 run of hades isn't enough of the story imo before moving on to hades 2 honestly.

[@mintmuffled]

the intro was just some stupid shit to give a little story on why I need to beat the game in one try. I'll finish Hades first

[@noone12748]

@@mintmuffled The game is very fun, you would be doing yourself a disservice by rushing through it to get to the second game, don't worry, just take your time

[@Solin324]

Really good video again. Would definitely love to see more Hades stuff considering how in depth it is. Btw the Armor while also giving enemies a second health bar also stops you from stun locking them with attacks. They can't be stunned at all if they have Yellow Armor.

[@Alserex]

Loved this video & the commentary! A longer Hades video detailing various runs and further encounters until you finally get a winning run would be awesome

[@LayZe.]

honestly a banger video kinda wanna see you complete everything

[@rev.ryan206]

I died along with you at 12:49 when you *sang* "no-ho-oh". You've earned yourself a subscriber, now more Hades and Hades II please.

[@allefdesigns]

I've played Hades for about 100h and now have sunk over 50 on Hades 2. Really happy to see more people coming back to Hades as well trying it for the first time. I bought it for my friend as well recently with the steam discount. Subscribed for more Hades 😊

[@lautarogilalmiron8647]

5:30 OMG I would also think about that game every time I talked to him, such a throwback

I specifically hear schlatt every single time skelly speaks

[@magneticbulldog3063]

You might recognize Shelly’s voice because his voice actor also voices Zagreus

[@LlamaSenpai]

Oh my god, you're right! Now ever time I talk to Skelly I'm just gonna be imagining Darren Korb in a room talking to himself...

[@nicholasd3615]

Found this channel through this video, and love the style of content you make. Keep going and looking forward to the next video!

[@ltrigga219]

Spartan: Total Warrior was the shit! I’m glad you’re playing Hades, man. I’m still addicted to this game.

[@justinsanegaming9724]

Bro him saying the aphrodite boons werent good had me shrieking lol

[@audiable3722]

This guy gonna be a staple youtuber for me to watch now. You have got yourself a new viewer.

Oh boy I just found a new KZbinr that I’m gonna binge watch until probably 1 am See you there!

[@omajith2372]

I’m trying fresh file too, good luck man, it’s been a struggle I’ve been off and on for like a year with it, furthest I’ve got was probably elysium bosses. Shit was nasty, no death defiance really does bite you in the ass.

[@ayoubkamal9941]

The foreshadow at 11:15 omg

[@justsomeguy2865]

fun fact, your actual first run, like after you start a new save. is artificially harder, only one shop per floor, enemies hit harder, have more health, etc

[@peril365]

I’m new to this channel, but so far really loving it, very underrated channel. Keep it up!! 🎉

[@hiiistrex2838]

This is a run I've been trying on and off for a while. It's HARD, but I've gotten to hades twice now, it feels close

A hades video this is my favourite game I absolutely loved it can’t wait to see you play hades2

[@TheOrangeMan13]

hades gives you a disadvantege sooooo biiiiig on your first run

The hades franchise is actually a Drake reference. First he had a hidden son And then a hidden daughter

[@adrianhebreros]

Hopefully you make a hades series or some more videos, loved it

[@DrakeAzur17]

Recently came back to Hades after seeing the early access for #2, started new game to get back into the groove of things and remeet the characters. Was so proud I managed to get to the Bone Hydra on that 1st run.

[@shmuelhunt9617]

Yes please do more of these videos!!

[@amatoday3792]

I got 10 of that….is the penultimate rouge-like statement on the first one 😆

[@PlatinumROB_91]

Great video as always Mint! This is definitely a game i need to try one day soon

[@mintmuffled]

You should man!

[@McClintonforThree]

SPARTAN TOTAL WARRIOR REFERENCE???? LETS GOOOOOO!!!!! Subscribed. You should do a video on that magnificent game.

[@lil_paups]

Don’t know if anyone else has said, but the second health bar also means that attacking the enemy doesn’t make them flinch at all

[@QuesoLibre]

Please keep this series up. I'd be willing to buy fun rouge likes to keep it going

[@camrendilbeck]

I do indeed want to see more Hades please and thank you.

[@justintomer2567]

Wait till he finds out that to reach the credits of the game you have to clear 10 full runs, and then theres an epilogue after that

[@Ace-yd9sr]

Would love a full video about a hades run

[@jkljosh7392]

Seeing him pick a power pom over Charon with 250 coins physically hurt

[@mkdfan]

I’ve been saying I need to play this game for years and now there’s a sequel. Oops! You bumped it up my list though. Another great mad lad video and thanks to your friend for getting you the game. Would you be willing to accept game donations from fans? You should make a public wish list so people don’t bombard you with stuff you have no interest in.

[@mintmuffled]

That's not something I've ever considered, but yeah I'd be down to make a list as long as people don't think it's scummy.

[@koolperson906]

Hades is amazing and I hope you continue playing it!

[@Pokeboy4561]

As a new viewer took in by your first try videos, I would love to see more. The pomegranate also doesn't exactly level up one boon randomly, but I'm sure you'll figure that out as you play more.

[@madixtahlepoque]

We obviously want a second one ahah nice vibs btw (thanks to your friend for giving you this cool idea)

[@MDClips2464]

I have watched a few videos now at 1.25 speed but only remembered that it was when dating start started playing and I realized it was a bit too fast

[@njbthe1st597]

Next weapon you get should be the bident it’s next to the sword cause it has a lot of reach and does good damage. The shield on enemies acts as a second health bar and also prevents them from getting stunned from your attacks.

[@Jev_the_fluorescent_shrimp]

Nice video! I hope you continue playing Hades

[@Cup_ofpride]

Any amount of Hades is a gift in this world, please more

[@djathome2915]

Great video, I love this game! Your commentary is super entertaining to watch :D

[@keystonelyte]

When I saw that there was a speedrun category for this, I had to give it a try. After about 60 attempts, I learned the seeds better and did clear it... in like 45 minutes. So, not fast at all.

Answer at 4:45

[@TheSacredMaster]

Brain just shuts down upon seeing Aphrodite XD

[@LordTreyHowdy]

For some perspective: most people with hundreds (and even thousands!) of hours in hades would struggle with a fresh file clear. You have to get lucky and get the right boons offered. I hope you have fun sticking with Hades, it's a really wonderful game!

[@Aligames5747]

Idk about thousands of hours struggling trust me I seen players at that level and I just dk about that bro

[@LordTreyHowdy]

@@Aligames5747 I'm referring to people like Haelian. He has thousands of hours in the game, has victories over 50 heat, and he struggles with a fresh file clear. It's a difficult thing to accomplish even with incredible game knowledge and mechanics

[@komorebi727]

Skelly's voice actor is actually Zagreus' voice as well. And he also composed the music for the game

[@Stxrx-s5g]

I played hades like for 3 months and i got all aspects completed most of fate of the blah blah blah thingy and beated it now im playing dead cells, hollow knight, ori and the will of the wisps. Cant wait for hades 2

[@GGmanlife]

I’d love to see more hades!!

[@northwestnerd4950]

Not bad getting to Meg on run #4. Welcome to Hades. Harder than it looks, eh?

I require more, father

[@kingmalicious4474]

Moooore hades lol, love your style of content man it was super entertaining

[@cramerfloro5936]

Actually... No, wait, you're right. Hades isn't your boss anymore. You got fired before the start of the game.

[@dejinnthedjinn5311]

As someone who also recently got into Hades because of the second game (I really liked Hestia's design), I really do feel ya when it comes to learning what the symbols meant. I remember skipping out on Darkness for Coin cause I thought the coin symbol meant shop. Only to see the shop symbol later.

[@_gplin_2740]

Fat black Hestia design goes hard

[@jcnot9712]

Could’ve lived if you knew that was the charon shop, since you had over 200 gold

[@0celot8]

I just got the game and will be trying this myself.

[@tessfairfield6435]

Hades is my favourite dating simulator

[@DerHades99]

There actually is a speedrun category for this. It is *incredibly* reset heavy because you absolutely need very specific combination of boons. Really fun to watch a complete run though! edit: Fun fact: Zagreus and Skelly have both the same voice actor!

[@mintmuffled]

I'm thinking after I 100% the game I'll come full circle and try to beat it on a fresh save again. idk about a respectable speedrun time, but we'll see lol
