"Alright, like the video if you looked at the abs." Damn, caught me in 4k HD

[@Clouded-Logic]

Honestly, how you gonna call me out like that lol.

[@kaynedesu]

Damn i love abs🤤

[@princequincy5421]

Reto, since you didn't get a chance to see Eris' blessing: It made you take 20% more damage, and 5% *more* damage for every room you cleared with the blessing. Eris likes to do a little trolling. She's a funny gal like that. :)

[@mailcs06]

The devs really thought "Hmm this game isn't hard enough for people trying to do a night one win. Lets make it so they literally have to nohit the game at some point.

[@LordDragox412]

Damn, -Darren Korb- the Sirens released a banger! Coral Crown is definitely gonna be a hit with the sailors! Truly a song to die for, even if you're already dead!

Hades was how i found your channel 2 years ago so this is amazing for me!

[@rovietergeek]

Me too! This was my first video of Reto and I have watched almost every single video since.

[@jordand69]

same here

[@christianleblanc240]

This is the first game in a while to just show me a character(Scylla, in this instance), and just have me say, "I love this character already." Strap yourselves in gang, this'll be a good series!

[@rovietergeek]

The Scylla fight was an absolute banger! 😉

[@Sirup21]

The music during the Scylla fight is INSANE

[@chromaticblue3976]

I think it's a nice touch how when you stun/kill individual characters, their part of the music stops.

[@Z-000R0]

Eris was holding her aspect gun, oh boy, then that mean Hecate really does be rocking a machine gun as well

[@professorxavier620]

And Nemesis wields her aspect sword. I love details like that

[@StarbornCthulhu]

Hestia so much the wine aunt. I love her

[@ZacHawkins42]

Wine aunts are sad people.

[@lookupandfindout]

The second boss is sooooo cool. Great mechanics and killer music makes for a truly cinematic fight

[@jaden4551]

you can always tell which hecate is the real one by when she teleports, she has a sort of purple blackish haze around her and the others don’t. at least i think so 😅

[@otarthemad1782]

Reto's so good at video games he literally procced Eris on his first run!

[@megatwin711]

Thank you Hecate, the Ancient Greek lore of magic I didn't know I needed to listen to!

[@ChristCameTwice]

Almost thought the sound wouldn't be adjusted. Way to stay true to yourself, Reto! So happy we're finally here!

[@HonkGoldfisz]

The sirens music is epic

[@millieplaint4087]

Looking forward to another 100+ episodes of this new Hades 🎉

[@evilqueen6402]

"a little bit of the technical test" says the guy who lost several times on purpose to cheat the 5 run limit

[@mica4977]

I missed out on your first Hades playthroughs but am having a lot of fun watching you tackle this second release! Mainly because I get to learn along side you & am highly enjoy the main character

[@SpiritxTower]

Drink every time @retromation says “Back It Up” “Chill” or “Gotcha.”

[@perep_]

YES, from the moment I saw it launched on steam I was waiting for your video

[@claytonharting9899]

I love that Apollo basically gave you a tactical airstrike

[@GB_Rishad]

not many channels do hades commentary gud but FINALLY found one

[@franksonatra]

I love it so much! I watched your Hades I playthrough and I'm loving your commentary here so far, explanations are very good.

[@MerculiarchSyn]

Hades was the first series I watched on this channel. That took a while lol

[@ManlyPicnics]

Honestly super looking forward to this. Been watching your original Hades 1.0 series, since I never actually did. It'll be great to follow along this time. Already feels quite different to the Technical Test. I was gonna like the video anyways, but I did indeed look at the abs.

[@mugiwarat]

That Scylla song was FIRE

[@SoxyKrawl]

I'M. SO. FREAKIN. HYPED! Hades is one of the greatest games of all time, and so excited for Hades II to live up to it all over again. So far it looks like it will.

[@SethKimukore]

Been holding off watching these till I had a chance to play for myself but super excited to see the runs now. Felt super weird when I did my first run but have been really enjoying it so far

[@PopTap]

The soundtrack is nuts. Absolutely love it! Check out "I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death)" (also from hades II and a banger song)

[@scottchadwick1247]

Hades is one of my favorite games to watch on KZbin ever. I look forward to Hades 2.

[@hakandoga5878]

I was just about to spam comments on your videos to ask when you will play Hades II, but here it is!!!

[@lecram86]

Hades brought me to your channel and I hope that you cover this one too ^ ^

[@ddayskeleton]

LETSGOO It’s Happening!!!

[@theusernameicoodfind]

Damn you got all the way to Scylla in your first run, shows how awful I am at this game it took me over 10 runs to get to her and I’ve only beaten her like twice since. Still having fun though but damn am I bad.

[@CalamitasCalliope]

I finally bought the game so i can watch this. My viewership will be spotty as i duck out when you reach points where i haven't reached, but I'm so excited!

[@Halfelfaedyn]

Really love this so far. It's beautiful and the pacing is good. 😊👍

[@D3sdinova]

Oh this is gonna be awesome!

[@fordcent]

Started watching for Gungeon stayed for Hades

[@smurph7382]

Second boss almost makes me want to buy the game rn

[@TheM8]

i think strife cursed you with more enemies? might be voluntary going forward? i would like that.

[@Tobygas]

Feels like Hades 2 wants you to take a bit more time with each fight. In the first game you just spammed double dash into dash attacks and if u had Athena dash you just couldn't die. I'm glad that dodging feels a bit harder in the sequel since it makes mastering the game feel more rewarding

[@tahkaimartin8050]

Had to like. Definitely looked at the abs

[@alexsyn2531]

Ayyy let’s go. Been waiting for your video. Already played 3 runs myself and it’s so much fun. I’ll still be watching you. Edit: you can see Eris‘ blessing in your boons. Don’t know if it’s random I had the same blessing twice, only met her twice too though. For me it was 20% more dmg received this encounter +5% after each encounter.

[@gamecavalier3230]

I did not look at the abs, but I still want to like the video, is that allowed?

[@Retromation]

I _guess_

[@nightbreez]

Leave it to reto to find the one move in the game that blows your eyeballs out within the first two seconds of playing XD

[@jaspertxr]

Lets go, can't wait to see more!

[@ookazi1000]

Oh gods, I love Hestia.

[@catwaluigi4756]

I looked at the abs… *hits like button*

[@wtm121]

Yes Hades 2 love this game

[@Linkbond]

Not a bad first attempt against the second boss. Which would you say is tougher, the second boss in this game or the Hydra in the first game?

[@Retromation]

Sirens > Hydra in difficulty _easy_ imo, might change over time as I learn it more but yeeeeah I don't think that will change unless it gets nerfed like Hydra did when more content gets added to smooth the difficulty curve.

[@MadSwedishGamer]

@@Retromation I really hope they don't get nerfed. If anything, I want an equivalent to Extreme Measures that makes the fight last longer so I can hear their music more (and because it's a fun fight).

[@StalxD]

So maybe at one point there would be a choice to go down or up similar to isaac

[@JemstoneGames]

HADES HYPE!

[@MuteLunatic]

As a viewer it feels like narratively it would be best to start a video with the meta progression then show that progression in action via a new run for a video. I bet you'll have better watch retention if you do so because the pacing of the video is better. I know in this case as your first run that would be awkward but it might be a format to consider going forward. I enjoy the Hades content please keep it coming.

[@blackpaladin225]

This game is just begging retro metro to die

[@Temperans]

Why are the sirens mermaids? Sirens are birds not fish until the 9th century way past the time of the greek myths

[@MadSwedishGamer]

Actually, there were some depictions of sirens as mermaids in Greece as early as the 3rd century BCE. Notably, the Odyssey never describest hem at all, so later writers and artists depicted them as they saw fit. Bird women were the most common depiction until the Middle Ages though.

[@qwerwert2739]

Is the dark meta progression better than Hades 1 or is it still very poorly done?

[@Retromation]

can't say yet, if it is the same as the technical test it is a lot better, but I don't know

[@Retromation]

Hades is great, the metaprogression was always the weakest part to me. They could have said it better, but I don't think it is fully wrong. The game was fantastic and I think people assume that must mean _every part of it wholesale was fantastic,_ which doesn't have to be true.
