Btw, if a boon has plural "Attacks" or "Specials" then it affects both the base and omega versions

[@natanoj16]

My favorite for the Axe is Apollo. I love the just waaay too insanely large swings :P

[@fordcent]

No one: Mel fighting Chronos: “SERENITY NOW, SERENITY NOW!!!”

[@antonbijker1528]

the poseidon boon that can double rewards also works on the max hp and max mana increases which can make it absolutely insane, making the boon worth it aslong as it doubles any of these rewards atleast once. Also I believe the Deathcap mushrooms mention in their description that they are used to trade in for bones at the store Edit: also just had poseidon double up a pom of power for me! S+ tier blessing!!! Oh and also just discovered he can double a mystery boon pickup even! it is so broken!

[@CalamitasCalliope]

The game is really, really confused that you beat it so early. For example, i got access to the Shadow resource long before getting the surface quest, and it seems to be playing catchup going through all the events that happen after beating Chronos before going back and giving you stuff it planned to give earlier. I'm sure it'll resolve itself, but that's something for the devs to think about for future updates. There's still more important stuff you're missing, but if you just keep doing what you're doing and you'll get it. Stuff is unlocked by going on runs and talking to npcs, so I'm sure it'll be sorted out in a bit.

Eris tried to help him, but he kept refusing. How rude. She's such a nice gal.

[@ManlyPicnics]

This was without question, a SPEEN moment. Cleanest Chronos fight yet, although it probably helps that you didn't have to be near him in the range of his worse attacks for a majority of the first phase. Death to Chronos.

[@princequincy5421]

Obscenely jealous of the fact you got a third deadalus hammer, monster build

[@beatrizherculanodeoliveira7935]

Gotta say, I miss the reto-zagreus art on the video cover, I want to see one for this series too! sahsahauhsauhas

[@Chromodar]

Omega attack: 216k Scorch: 28k I mean the scorches were exploding during the latter part of the run, that probably doesn't count. Still, it's less than 15% increase? Flutter strike wouldn't have worked with sending the spin off and dashing back, but no doubt you could have gotten more out of the attack boon slot than Hestia. Which is crazy considering how strong the run was. I guess the third hammer helped though 😅

1:50 "Personally I would've gone with the magical girl transformation." - me, while watching a video of a game I have never played, with that game itself being a sequel to another game I've never played

[@imkindvabigdeal8223]

Every time I see it I want him to take it

Happy wednesday everybody 🎉

Happy Wednesday friend 😀

[@hendrikzahn3291]

At the end you can see how weak scorch actually is. So much investment and its like 10% of total. It looks impressive when you see 10k stacks on bosses only to remember its a fixed dps of 40 (stacking it just inceases duration) and bosses remove it with lots of moves :/ Spinning fire axe is always cool though.

[@Latbuya105]

Love watching your series of this game, finally caught up to your most recent vid, Can't wait to watch this one and the next!

[@mica4977]

Love the growth between old "Heavy/slow weapons aren't my cup of tea but since comments suggest it" hesitation to the current "I love the axe!" 🤣 Means the devs have done a good job at not making their heavy weapon feel too clunky to use, like other games.

[@Retromation]

oh 100% when I said heavy weapons aren't my thing I laid out exactly why and it is because they don't give them the right tools to work in games like this and hooooo boy did supergiant give the axe tools!

[@Halfelfaedyn]

Awesome build. You made some excellent choices 😁👍

[@hojmatros5102]

I thought this would be the first loss since defeating Chronos for the first time. Turns out it was just insanely quick boss fights making the video 10-20 minutes shorter.

[@DocNo27]

Nice whirlwind barb build!

[@whatifoundtodaypro]

BTW the Special on the Ax blocks Chronos' throw attack. 🎉

[@benjaminfrost2780]

Loving the series.

[@ieasy12]

You need to unlock Lord Moros to get the recipe for shadow, as I recall. Edit: Nope, different recipe, apparently......

[@nickwilliamson9115]

yeah that shadow extraction thing said “12⏰ recipe”

[@danielstokes6597]

Letting you know 🎉

[@nolanbenson2475]

Daggers are my favorite. I four shot Cerberus in like 15 seconds with hook knives and dancing blades with boosted backstab damage. It would've been faster if I didn't have to deal with his minions while he went underground.

[@joshuarogers9713]

Dear lord retro if you interact with the cauldron in main camp it will push you in the right and after the push you can be on surface. For less than a minute to move quickly.

[@kawaiianthony8090]

The final build is like GuanYu 2.0 😂

[@Linkbond]

Spiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

[@Dragonsshadow264]

Guan yu at home:

[@imkindvabigdeal8223]

You need to take dark side at some point

[@JJLearyIV]

Try pausing during Chronos fight 😊

[@kingkongsz]

That's a fun easter egg :)

[@ulthorchaotic9019]

Are you ever going to check out that gold dot, on the shade in the training ground?

[@000Dragon50000]

Throwing bladed weapons in a spinny fashion. Really taking a leaf out of your grandfather's book there, huh Melinoe?

[@MetalMockingjay]

🤐

[@willofd.2227]

I can't help but think this Playthrough/run was very much Inspired by MoistCritical/Penguinz0 as he Literally was just Spamming this Spin2Win Build After Unlocking the Axe or its all a Coincidence either way Great Vid as Usual Brother, Keep up the Great Work

[@Retromation]

no shade, but I have never seen a single stream or piece of content of his

[@lucasbgabriel1441]

I did this same build 3 days ago, its not hard to get and to make it work
