Hades II

[kisada]

I got Volcanic Strike turned into Heroic and level 4. 400 dmg recharging every 2 seconds, this is nuts lol

it's literally so fun

[Tyrath]

It got me to kill boss 3 for the first time and took me all the way to Chronos. But alas, I had 2 hp when I got there. Only got him down like 40% lol

[Andalusian girls]

he is a bastard man

[kisada]

i'm afraid i won't remember how to beat him ;(

[Tyrath]

he is a bastard man

I almost had him in the 2nd try but then I got hit by a 999 move...

Finishing up a run now where I ended up with 45 different boons, pure insanity lol

I find Vow of Rivals very fun.

This team is great at remixing stuff so continuously that you feel like you're playing a slightly different game every run. That content drips at just the right pace.

I have 100+ runs, read this post, and then did a run and got what I thought was "a lot" of boons and only counted 30. I can see how someone may get 45 given how rng works in this game but jesus that's insane.

Also this game is so good. They added SO MUCH in 1.0

I still haven't found the last freaking keepsake!

Result screen(s) of run in question.

Spoiler: show

crazy low damage taken my manimal, even when i clear runs Chronos usually bops me for a few hundred.

got through two top side bosses on my last run, haven't cleared yet. my biggest critique of Hades 1 was the lack of bosses + areas so Hades 2 having about x2 of each makes it about perfect.

Strength tarot (so I take 40% less damage), 30% less damage buff when using Specials, buffed weak reducing damage taken, Gale pet who gives three blocks per region, freeze, and Athena boon that gives me deflect on dash.

So yeah mad defense

I'm at 100+ clears now and my absolute biggest piece of advice I'd give is not using the MP Regen tarot (you'll almost always get some kind of mana Regen boon) so you can use the tarot for damage boost when not at full MP, and using Strength tarot (-40% damage taken +20% damage dealt) instead of the death defiance one.

Not using death defiance eventually opens you up to using the Athena keepsake, which give massive defensive utility

[Celeras]

Currently on Night 16, took me this long to realize (now that I have aspects and need things) you no longer have to choose one gathering tool to go out with lol. Great change.

[Andalusian girls]

i have bopped the overworld ama

i assume it's like Hades 1 and we're looking at 10ish clears to hit credits so lesgo

This post led me to try the "activate no more than 3 cards and 4 activate after each boss" card, no death defiance card, and Athena keepsake and it was so effective that I kind of want to never use it again. I had an absolutely terrible run and still cleared without issue. Athena gave me a refreshing Death Defiance in the first area and the 3x death defiance card activated before I got to Chronos.

I'll probably use it a few more times... but nerrrfff itttt

[Celeras]

What a fun one that was. All I did was proc Hitch and fling Beach Balls everywhere while watching Toula/Summons (also had the homing cast from Hades I forgot to pin). With the staff aspect for creating autocast Omegas it felt like I had 5 minions, just flat toyed with Chronos while zooming around lol. His little spear toss summon put in work.

[Melena]

Got to Typhon for the first time last night till I completely forgot how to dodge...

Does he not have a life bar? I have no clue if I was close or not.

Lifebar is hidden but the fight has clear phases to give you an idea of where his health is at.

[Tyrath]

Finally got the 6th weapon. Loving this one

[Celeras]

Got a no-hit on Chronos, shame I didn't lock in on trash and robbed myself of seeing the 0s lol

[Melena]

Ugh, my shitty play is pissing me off. Was face melting chronos and fucked up his insta kill ring, and for Typhon, yet to get a kill cause I keep taking dumb hits on his last phase.

Also that first room on the summit is several levels of bullshit with all the explosions.
