I can't believe this greedy combo actually worked. | Hades 2

[@chanlekho]

I am disappointed that there is no Aspect of Asterius for the axe...

[@AverageJ03Gaming]

Maybe in the future. The secret aspects aren't implemented yet.

[@c2HitsButtons]

I'm more disappointed we don't have a corrupted or enslaved Asterius as a sub-boss in Tartarus But it's only just started month two of early access, so there's plenty of time.

[@mommymilkers8037]

Probably going to be a secret aspect in the future

[@theglobe2050]

Sadly the aspect of Asterius doesn't make sense. Why would anyone give the weapon created by Nyx (Also Thanatos's scythe) to a beast? It would be cool. But a few worthy of holding night's arms or infernal arms

[@mommymilkers8037]

@@theglobe2050 oh yeah, i forgot these are not just normal weapons and that they are really powerful legendary titan slaying weapons, now it makes sense why there isnt aspect of asterius (still would be cool, maybe change the special into his jump or something like that)

[@mataburt]

When the player unlocks Forget-Me-Knot they should let the player to mark boons in the Book of Shadows, so that when they appear it alerts the player. Great for going for planned builds.

[@ShortThe1st]

great idea!

[@Annokh]

Haelian: has Tranquil Gain. Also Haelian: dances in small circles while waiting for Chronos to spawn more adds and stop being invincible.

[@magicalduckye2356]

As he says, its the worst gain boon for his playstyle. He says it basically every time it shows up.

[@saintkevinh]

I think you can cheese Asphodel a little bit by constantly channeling an omega move that slows time. Everything around you slows down, including the movement of the circle, but the percentage still increases at its normal rate.

[@lookalike4805]

Oh... You beat me to it.... 😝 I only noticed this Last Night

[@justarandomdood]

If the reward isn't good then you can cheese it by entering the circle, leaving, and letting it drop to 0 You leave the chamber and don't get the reward, so if the reward sucks anyways... Get me outta here xD

[@shoe2929]

being that its early access. im surprised nobody is talking about who chronos' ally is. all the gods are wearing battle armor in their portraits, except for aphro woop woop, and in their dialogue, they hint that chronos has attacked olypmus multiple times and failed, yet this time they're all worried that he has a new trick up his sleeve and they dont know what it is. being that in greek mythology, zeus casts ares out of olypmus. i think that ares alligns himself with chronos and, being the god of war, hes giving chronos a huge advantage in this, wait for it, war.

[@SicklySeraph]

I believe its stated by one of the other olympians that ares is currently fighting against Chronos’ army on the surface, but maybe he is just really convincing? I do like the theory though

[@flintslip8621]

what do you mean aphro dosent wear armor, she has warbrases on her forarms, to her thats like if sombody shows op in full platemail, she means buisness 😆

[@antiMatterDynamit]

i fucking love everything in this sequel but aphro's new look is still my favorite part by far

[@EmeraldWaters-uq1jb]

if you play farther it is revealed at least partially what he has up his sleeve. its kinda worse than a traitor.

[@Saracen93]

I got the red dress with heroic geiser ring on Mel’s staff. Put on the sash and felt so good.

[@metalmac2347]

I literally JUST did this today with the same arcana loadout and poseidon's cast. Kept the cast buff the whole time, and it was awesome. Surprised to see you posted a video doing the same literally the same day. Lol

[@Steely14900]

Double Up says Minor Finds AND other resource rewards i do think it could be worded more clearly, just say it can hit Minor Finds and Poms and Coins etc.

[@alessandrosaltarin9990]

you gotta check out the hephaestus - hera duo

[@aebisdecunter]

Agreed, +200% is basically constant Crit. And you can 3x it with a crit on top)) X9 damage, and you don't need to pom, rarify and even have your attack/special boons

[@konstantinmilyutin1190]

Got my first victory over Chronos with Hephaestus-Hera on Revaal Skull

[@hoangvietnguyen949]

What is the comp ? I mostly avoid Hephaetus boons so i don’t know much about his boons

[@felipevasconcelos6736]

⁠@@aebisdecunter it says you get +200% damage, not +200% power, so I’d expect spiteful strength+crit to give you 5x damage instead of 9x

[@aebisdecunter]

@@felipevasconcelos6736 I saw regular damage of ~450 in one run I got the Duo Boon and the crits were close to 1500. Isn't the calculation is: Total = ( BaseDmg * ( 1 + Bonus%)) * (ifCrit() * 3) That is to say that Crit is always 3x of the non-crit damage, not +200%. Unlike the regular bonuses (God and Chaos Boons, Keepsakes, PStatus) which add their Bonus% based on the (BaseDamage + Power), so if a good boon adds +100% attack and Chaos boon does +50% attack, then it wouldn't be BaseDmg * 2 * 1.5 = 3 * BaseDmg, but rather BaseDMG * ( 1 + GodAtkBonus + ChaosAtkBonus) = BaseDmg * ( 1 + 1 + 0.5 ) = 2.5 * BaseDmg

[@srengal]

I did something similar with Poseidon’s cast and the Arachnae buff. Silken sash, cast buffs from Charon’s well, born again, all my poms toward my cast, it was pretty busted.

[@LSDon-gs7bz]

When Hecate transforms you into a sheep you can still activate tula

[@coachmcguirk6297]

First game we fought dad, now we are fighting grandpa. Poor kitty.

[@tabibito-san4569]

this run just goes to show how much better certain keepsakes are compared to hades 1, you can switch things up on the fly and it works out real well

[@Haelian]

I really love a lot of the new keepsakes, way more interesting.

[@qubitqubit]

Shouldn't the cat just instakill the mouse miniboss?

[@Haelian]

Hehe

[@Qeshen]

I'm not sure if I've missed you doing it before, but the regular omega attack on the axe with the charge and move speed increase hammer is my favorite thing in the world. It's already a powerful attack, grab blitz from zeus or Aphrodites close range buff (And heartthrob) and you go full beyblade, it's great.

[@isaiahlem]

Demeter's cyclones pair particularly well with Zeus' Air Quality boon, btw.

[@Qeshen]

Fuck, I gotta try that!

[@michaelorrill1728]

In the fields, why pick up hammer last?

[@xcxbox3606]

Echo let's you take another copy of the last thing you picked up. So if there's something you want more of it's better to leave it for last in case echo is in the next room.

[@tylermock6853]

I feel like that aspect should look like an oar instead

[@FurEliseFlamenco]

I love grandpaw he’s the best boy❤

[@metalmac2347]

I really hope they change the Aspect of Charon so that its omega special just turns a regular cast into its omega version instead of detonating the cast immediately. you can get decent damage still, but it really only works super well with the two casts that do most of their damage after detonation (Apollo's and Poseidon's). without chaos blessings or the hammer that makes youu channel the omega special faster (something you aren't guaranteed), i feel like the omega special channels slow enough to justify that change

[@theformation3781]

19:09 THE TIMER STAYS ON DURING ASPHODEL?? BRO THAT SUCKS

[@AverageJ03Gaming]

I think Asphodel removes some floors to compensate

[@lookalike4805]

The Progress Counter is Unaffected by Slow Motion Effects so you can Spam *Channel* to Cheese it. 👀

[@SicklySeraph]

Asphodel also keeps the timer for Chao’s boon where the debuff can instakill if you run out if time and it costed me an early game run 😭, it made me hate the asphodel event so much

[@theformation3781]

@@SicklySeraph WHAT that sucks so much

[@kylekonopka8292]

How do you unlock the codex. Like specifically the boons

[@thatsyoutmom]

Gotta gift Hecate a few times to unlock it from the cauldron ^^

[@alphaomegagiant]

Get all the Olympian keepsakes by gifting them at least once. Then the incantation will appear in your cauldron.

[@Mochila03]

I wonder if there's an issue with the gods that are presented. Seems odd that you kept getting offered Hestia over and over and never saw Poseidon, Zeus, Aphrodite, or Apollo once.

[@Vael221]

I was thinking the same thing, wondering if the god pool is just locked before the run starts now; it certainly seems like it though impossible to say if it is intention, a bug, or just a coincidence.

[@sweep_swoop]

The game limits your pool of gods to around 4 and I think you can only get around that with the keepsake. May be wrong tho

[@lookalike4805]

Its Always been like that in the both Games.... You Chamber Rewards are Semi-Preordained.

[@Haelian]

There might be more that we don't know about the god pool, or just bad luck.

[@LiaisonDeMang]

this omega cast combo give more time for more ennemies to walk into the cast and take the already high damage from the boon tldr: more enemies taking the same damage

[@lookalike4805]

36:50 You Can Drop a Cast AND Dash in between the Last 2 Hits in the Combo... This Doesn't seem to be intentional as the Animation constantly Breaks when you do this....👀

[@royaldelivery3800]

A problem i have really noticed in comparison to hades one is the amount of antisynergy it feels so bad

[@og2hot]

I heard theres a hades cast in the game?

[@notoreusBIG]

Yeah Hades has a boon that does it

[@lookalike4805]

Its called *"Howling Soul"* 👀

[@fruitsnackbandit4987]

how can I view the list of offerings from each god? I don't have the option in my codex. Do I have to make at least one offering to each to unlock it?

[@derandi2324]

its an incantation at some point

[@fruitsnackbandit4987]

@@derandi2324 found it just last night! Thank you!

[@axllow3914]

Didn't know gods could get blacklisted on the god pool even if you haven't ignored them, Hestia felt so forced this run despite ignoring her multiple times yet Apollo just didn't show up

[@lookalike4805]

Its a Shame too because specific Weapons Perform Better with Specific God's.... For Example for the Axe you'l Want Percentage Multipliers instead of Fixed Damage Increases Hence I only walk into Apollo, Aphrodite & Demeter Chambers to Pick Up *Attack/Special* Boons. This was one of the Most Annoying things about Hades 1 and I'm Annoyed it's exactlly the Same in Hades II. 🤔

[@lookalike4805]

I forgot Hera.... Hera is the last God who offers Percentage Multipliers... Or maybe I shouldn't Mention Her because that's a Spoiler ? 🤔

When did Dan start laughing like Seth Rogen?

isn't apollo cast better with this?

[@josh___something]

It's probably the best, technically... But he's taking heph for variety. Cause let's be honest, it's probably EVERYBODY'S first few runs with Charon aspect.

[@Haelian]

Pretty much this, don't want to run the same cast every time I use an aspect.

[@michaelorrill1728]

Algorithms

[@orleanswarrior1834]

How good is vent?

[@Moorb0y52]

It's good but it's pretty sus

[@AverageJ03Gaming]

Vent and the attack boon before it both have group effects-they deal their damage to groups when the affected target is close to others. VERY valuable. Rare attack phestus with a couple poms hits 5 seconds or faster plus vent

[@lookalike4805]

Its good for *Origination* ..... Its not so Good as your main DPS Applier.

Kinda meh? Good for Origination.
