Daedalus on retirement (or dead?) - Run#65 - Light Commentary | Hades 2 Early Access

[@theheartofmymystery]

My inner completionist is delighted and relieved that you're focusing on the prophecy list! At least you made it to calc! I think in high school I ended at precalc? But I don't remember lol. I'll be sad when this series ends 😔 Do you plan to return when the full game comes out? Make videos about a different game? Both? As a Medea stan, I'm thrilled that you fought for her honor against Polyphemus! I wholeheartedly agree with you that she'd wipe the floor with him. And I'm still really happy you like her, she'd be really easy to hate lol but I never could 🥰 Hestia really did sound like an unrepentant pyromaniac in that dialogue lol 🔥 Is Melinoë's hair on fire from the Hestia boon? At least it matches her feet. Love the fiery explosions from her boon(s)! I feel like Melinoë has a special tone of voice that she only uses with Icarus? And when you said that you picked Smaller Stature because Icarus was gone, did you mean that you didn't want to embarrass Melinoë in front of him with it? Me examining the Prophecy List 🧐: "I've watched all of Hamstir's Hades 2 videos, and I'm pretty sure he's never encountered some of these boons, like, ever? The hell?" Me remembering Legendary Boons exist: "Oh, right."

If I was going to do some relax runs, I might as well be productive! Actually, I also figured you would've liked the focus on the Minor Prophecies ^ And now we don't use calc skills anymore haha. But precalc is nothing to sneeze at. It would've been my last math if not for squeezing precalc in a summer course. I'll definitely return for the full game! It looks like a new update came out, but it ended up being minor buffs/ changes here and there (I thought new weapon was next patch). However, for the full game I anticipate uploads may not be daily anymore because I've been less time on editing. As for different games, I had two cuties excited if I play this game called Hollow Knight. I know it's good, and I actually just bought it from Summer Sale. That's a game I see I can continue Light Commentary on, but idk yet. I actually don't play singleplayer games much. I'll likely mention in a video, but once this Early Access series ends, I plan to upload videos this channel was originally for, which was short clips of Lethal Company if you heard of that game. It features my relatives and friends, so it'll not be in this Light Commentary format at all (opposite of relaxing). I'll let y'all know to turn off your notifs or try to ignore them lol. Oh I loved Medea from the start of this game. I can see people not liking her due to her actions. But when you look at the why, I feel so sorry for her. Besides, fighting evil with evil isn't something I'm against, mwuahaha* Pyromaniac Hestia: "Do you believe in magic?"~ Oh you know, I think that fire is the Soot Sprint from Hestia. It's a very subtle effect, which I argue should be more obvious but whatever. and it does match with her fiery feet. Hestia boons are the prettiest, I'll die on this take. LOL so, umm... yes. I want Meli to appear at her best. That one time she appeared as a giant was hilarious, but I rather not have that with Icarus. Nothing wrong with tall woman over Icarus, it's just I feel immersed as it is. and I do sense a different tone, sometimes she sounds excited when Icarus is around. Again, if there's no romance option, it'd be so confused because the crumbs are there! But rawr* we'll have to see full game. Ya, it's those pesky legendaries. I tried to attempt for some, but we have all the time when the full game is out ^ it's a good thing we checked, apparently Narcissus has a legendary besides the Stardust and Hermes. ((What on earth?)

[@theheartofmymystery]

@@Hamstir4 I think I've heard of Hollow Knight before? I think I would watch those videos! Isn't it a horror game? Why...why does * Narcissus * of all people have a Legendary Boon?!? And I did like your focus on the prophecies, thank you! 😊

[@Hamstir4]

@@theheartofmymystery Hollow Knight was more roguelike similar to Hades! but it's a 2D game. the art style is cute, story and music is wonderful so I've heard. Essentially, it's the talk next to Hades. Since it's rather old, I'm sure people already know the story haha by now, so it'll mostly be for me ig. (still undecided about that one, but it's the most appropriate if going for more Light Commentaries) Now Lethal Company is more of the horror game, but also comedy too? Y'all would have to avoid that one ^ Right! Arachne and Echo legendary please :c Wait- wow, Medea and Hades legendary... wowow! lol you're welcome. Some portion of the game, I hear voices of some of y'all.

[@theheartofmymystery]

@@Hamstir4 Well...I don't know anything about Hollow Knight's plot! Everything would be brand new to me lol. And I like horror! Lol I don't think us commenters intended to start living in your head while you play, but it's kind of neat that we do 😆

You went ham on that last Eris fight.

It's what happens if I have Wolf Howl. awooo*

[@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880]

The Boons of Uncle Poseidon, Grandma Demeter, Lady Aphrodite, Cousin brother Hephaestus, and Auntie Hestia 46:14 are completely CORRECT. However 41:47 & 42:09, the Boons of Apollo, the Cast icon and the Magick icon need to fix the mistakes. Because if the Cast icon always look like a person in the middle of ring power and magic circle, then the Cast icon of Apollo should be look like a person in the middle of ring power and magic circle. And if the Magick icon always look like the divine magical power of a deity, then the Magick icon of Apollo should be look like the divine magical power of a deity. That would make sense in the game and the audience will understand about Boons of Apollo. Just like the Boons of Olympian deities in Hades 1 are completely CORRECT.

[@Hamstir4]

I remember you pointing this out about Apollo's boons before. I see what you mean about the person icon for the Gain boon. Tho if that's the case, all the gods' Cast boons should have a person in the middle no? Seems like this was a particular choice for Apollo, likely because the sun imageries were getting repetitive.

[@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880]

@@Hamstir4. Boons of Apollo needs a bit of a fix, especially the icons of Solar Ring and Lucid Gain. Boons of Zeus needs a bit of a fix, especially the icons of Storm Ring and Lightning Lance.

@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 I think some official god arts need some work still, but I doubt they'll revisit those in awhile.

1:57 No it's nice to see keep 'em in! 4:10 I AM LOOKING. 4:51 Look-wise, nah. Personality-wise... eh. A bit. Of course in game they are trying to make them the evil witch and the fairy godmother, but YES. YES YOU ARE VERY MUCH ALIKE, ACTUALLY! 5:16 So yeah. Medea is actually more charitable. Even if it depends how long they suffer before they fall off the census, but I'd say being turned into pigs for the slaughter is a worse fate than straight up dying. Might just be me though. 5:59 Medea is a very morally grey character. Sure, she betrayed and killed different family members, but she was 1. Under the influence of Eros' arrows when she double-crossed her father and killed her brother, and 2. Pretty sure her children wouldn't have lived a very satisfying life after having delivered her deadly gift to princess Glauce. Probably ending up becoming slaves or getting outright killed in some gruesome manner, so she took matters in her own hands. I wouldn't say she is a character I do not like to have in the spotlight. She is ruthless, but she is also smart, and talented. The issue is, she might commit a great deal of murder. I dunno, she gives me Morticia vibes from the 90s movies, and I'd never say I want to see less of that! 7:56 Weren't you trying to get boons you hadn't gotten yet? I'm confused. 20:48 They are both dead already, Hamstir! 26:09 wow. You gotta choose between sun or moon? Rad. 31:36 HERMES LEGENDARY???? :D 35:38 OH MY GOD. WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE FRICKING BOW?! 44:17 HERMES LEGENDARYYYYYYYYYYY 45:59 Nooooooo why u do him dirty like that- 58:53 No Hermes legendary. Very sad. 59:29 YOU TELL THEM, AUNTIE! HESTIA'S BEST OLYMPIAN! That last build was crazy powerful, even if you didn't get Hermes' legendary. Apollo made you sweat for it, then dipped. What an asshole (Apollo hate club). About the schedule for full game release: Maybe you could do twice a week? One video every day seems incredibly tiresome. Do not stretch yourself so thin. Once a week would be great as well. Keep it at a rate where you do not dread it, alright? Take care.

[@Hamstir4]

Ookay, it shall stay in c: I should tell you! There was actually a Moros charm too. But Moros had a combat stance I wasn't used to haha. I preferred when he was calm. Truue, the game really is making Circe more of a saint. But I think the effect does the opposite when we know what she's done to mortals. The way she masks like that is terrifying. I agree, Medea, please kill me swiftly before you think I'm worth into your cauldron. I'm on Medea's side on all accounts. Morticia is exactly the vibe I get! Lovely personality. In terms of exposure, I feel Medea's like Toph. Although Medea has ongoing ambitions, I feel times when Medea appears in the game is effective. The atmosphere when you enter her room never gets old. Similar to how it's a spectacle to watch Toph earth bend. (Perhaps the comparison isn't 1 to 1) You know, that was the intention, getting new duo boons. Forgot what happened there lol. Perhaps I goofed. LOLOL okay okay. I figured if Icarus got hurt on the Surface, he'd be dead dead, like nothing left. So if Daedalus died somehow lmao okay idk. When you put it like that I'm dead. If it was between Selene and Helios maybe!!! but Apollo? Easy Selene ^ Lmao okay okay. So all we know about the bow was that Meli had a terrible time learning it. She was great at literally anything else, but the bow was such an experience, she never wanted to pick it up again. Far as we know, Artemis wants her to try it again, and Odysseus sugarcoats the experience for her. and now Apollo seems tease about the bow too. Look, once the full game is out. I'll give Heracles all the nectars to make it up to him c: This Hermes is teasing us or something, hmmm!! He's lucky we like him :) Hestia is so good. I'm really glad of this interpretation. Auntia Hestia Bestia! Bless your bottomless soul (idk what that means). I was thinking a schedule similar to your suggestion ^ I have managed to work fast thus far, but now there's days where I give up time from editing such as letting my sibling take Hades 2 haha. And this Apollo guy really is a problem. Hermes should've taken more than just his cattle! (Apollo hate club) and take care yourself!

[@digifreak90]

11:52 If I'm remembering correctly, Poseidon's gain can trigger with any hit, whereas Hestia's is only on regular, non-omega, attacks and specials, meaning that on the Axe, Poseidon's might be better because the Omega Attack hitting in rapid succession could drop Spirit Bubbles, but will get you nothing from Hestia. Hestia's Gain seems better for fast hitting weapons, such as the Twin Blades. 21:58 I don't see any reason why Icarus would speak of his father badly. He loved his father, and it wasn't his fathers fault that he died, Icarus ignored his father's warnings. 51:30 You I just realized, with the combination of boons you have, your cast summons a fire tornado. 55:47 Honey, it's greek mythology, it's best not to think to much on the genealogy to much.

[@Hamstir4]

Yes! the distinctions between the Poseidon and Hestia Gain sounds perfectly correct. Ig to me, it's all the same haha. In terms of pros and cons like sacrificing max HP or the need to stand still or primed. You may be right. Daedalus did so much when they were alive. It just seemed that he never went to see Icarus again since as Shades. Maybe his ambitious mind took him elsewhere. and finally now he decided to rest. I will always credit Hestia for the best visual effects. Fire tornados sounds appropriate to bring to Eris. If only Melinoe knew. and from some stories, if only she knew of her origin!!! (don don don!!!)

[@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880]

I don't think Athena, Ares, and nasty Dionysus will appear in Hades 2. Similarly with Hades 1, Apollo, Hestia, Hephaestus, and evil Hera didn't appear in Hades 1. Because in this game when the deities appear, there will be eight main boons that can help the main character.

[@Hamstir4]

It's true there should be a set of Olympian gods at a time. But I heard all Hades 1 gods do make a reappearance. My guess is during the full game you'll gain a new set of gods but only exclusive during the Olympus Run. Typhon is expected to be the big boss in the final game. So perhaps we'll gain more support such as Ares and Athena when it comes to taking down this monster.

[@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880]

@@Hamstir4 You know, I hate Typhon because I hate when the world turns into disaster, destruction, famine, and apocalypse.

@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 If Typhon is all that, I'm excited for that to be the final boss. Wouldn't it be epic to take down that sort of being?
