Alright Than's Scythe is amazing. | Hades 2 

Narcissus’ voice acting makes his character so fucking funny

I like Thanatos i am happy that he has his own aspect

Maxed it out today and fumbled a +74% chaos attacks buff run on only 4 fear. Pro tip; never take big chop hammer if your build is a spin to win one. You will have to dash attack every time you want to omega attack ; _ ;

Just hit run 30 in Hades 1. Still haven't beaten the big guy yet... *_I'm adamant to do so before Hades II officially releases!_*

I think landmine guys are my new most hated enemy type.

walking into the boss room with a minion already enthralled like he's playing shadow of mordor :D

Got my first Chronos kill running the scythe aspect, aphro attack, and the hammer for the omega attack (the one that lets you use your other attacks during the whirlwind). Being able to dash while the whirlwind is active makes all the difference. Absolutely insane damage. Spin to win is back baby

If you guys want a free win just put on storm drain (Zeus cast) and preferably glowing coal with this Thanatos aspect it is a free win. Each lightning adds a percent of crit chance and also each lightning has that chance to crit

42:20 Holy shit Mel's line goes *HARD*

Demeter on than aspect goes insane with the boon that gives 100% omega attack damage

Healthy Rebound is a lot better than it looks when ya remember that fountains give 40% health, and that surge will almost certainly push you to 100% health paired with that boon

Fun fact- if you have a familiar it can actually block Hecate's morph attack if you position yourself properly.

Best use of Ash after unlocking all Arcana that I've found so far is using it to craft Shadow, which can then be used with a Cinder to craft 8 Moon Dust

Useful tech - if you charge the spin and spacebar instead of letting go, you will dash before you spin

If you didnt know Axes special blocks any orb Chronos spawns. Its great to block a couple then move in to give gramps a nice slicy hug

Insane Combo for Whirlwind is being able to use attacks / move while whirling + shooting your whirlwind out. Combine this with Aphrodite + Poseidon. Dual boon makes it so it doesnt matter if you are in melee range. You can basically constantly shoot (with slow time) your whirl and reposition and right away shoot another. I almost got chronos 20 with it but got killed at 30 % /cry

The one complaint I have up until now is that I feel there should be some crazier Hammers. In Hades 1 there were some hammers that really changed how the weapons work, like the Rocket Launcher and the shotgun for the Railgun, or the explosive arrows and multishot for the bow. The closest I've seen to something like that is the big chop hammer for the axe.

28:20 I think you'd get revenge hitch up pretty frequently on Chronos, so that duo is basically +20% damage to Chronos

theres a duo boon that gives 200% special and attack dmg as long as you dont have boons on the attack and special so thats an alternative to aphrodite

Godpool is three, plus Selene and Hermes, plus random Artemis and Chaos. Additional boons are also offered by surface friends, but Chaos is unavailable. Hades also is available 95% of the time in Tartarus.

Everyone: "what apsect is this? what boon is that? what keepsake you use?" Me, noticing the theme of Into The Blood when papa Hades meeting goes full family: "well, time to bawl my eyes out again boys" Lest we forget, yesterday *was* international mothers day. Give your mom a hug.

14:54 some times i get a feeling

7:14 two of my friends started playing Hades 1 recently. One of them has been playing for a week, another one is starting today (now that he's got a new Xbox controller that isn't broken) I'm very excited to be able to sit in a discord call with them and see what weapons they like using and what boons they think are good and wondering if I was as bad when I was new as they are now LMFAOOOO ♥️😋 Told them both to hold off on Hades 2 until there's a sale going on simply because the games are different enough, they're still super new to #1, and I don't want them to have the story spoiled lol

Idk about you guys, but I found it way harder to get going in this game when I first bought it than Hades 1. Then I got through 10 or so runs, and it’s become a little too easy. I feel like Elysium used to buffer builds that were bad but I can basically walk to Chronos every run now lol

Need this at max so I can use it with 20% crit chance Honestly maybe a good thing that Artemis isn't usually in the game, otherwise PP + Hunter's Mark would be too powerful with some of these builds xD --------------- Stupid/silly build setup idea: Disable all except 3 of your cards to get the 0 grasp card in the bottom right corner Don't increase your max HP Artemis's Antler keepsake the whole run Kitty DDs that only gives you 10 HP Simply do not get hit 4Head

Aspect of Brother-in-Law

I just got an accidental build on the staff that is pretty stupid as a melee weapon. Faster than the daggers too. I believe its apollo that has a boon that gives a chance to hit twice, one hammer that guarantees that you hit twice, and one more hammer that makes you attack rapidly at the cost of your omega attack. Was going for the hammer that shoots 2 specials and ended with that monstrosity. Was mad at first until i realized i was dishing out 1k damage quick with the Aphrodite common attack boons at LEVEL 1. Imagine the damage you could get if you get a rare version at level 3. Overall, staff is gonna be my go to weapon from now on.

Dont know how many people found it already but in the Hecate fight when she shoots the polymorph orb, you can run it into your familiar to immediately get rid of it.

did this up in greece for some Testament progress against Polyphemus, surprisingly effective honestly more then anything it's that Demeter carries runs so hard, giving Origination on a single cast is so strong, double that with aphro attack those two together can basically carry and you just need a third god for the mana regen boon (since both theirs are kinda doo doo)

How to meet the cat again to make him a familiar? i only got to meet him once right before i got to make the cookies

I'm surprised they didn't give Than's Aspect an effect similar to the Butterfly in Hades 1, but I'm so glad they went with this instead. I love crit builds

hades 1 never fully clicked for me. i still put a few dozen hours into it but i never persevered and beat the game hades 2 on the other hand, has me *hooked*

apollo is good one for the axe special build, there's the one hammer that doubles the projectiles for the omega special, combined with the overlapping enlarged hitbox from apollo, hits like truck from far distances

I love Aphrodite’s new boons. Like I one stacked her up to above 250% damage bonus up close. With the axe. So I was charging up to do 175 per hit in a spin, just in raw damage.

Soul Mate is interesting, it's guaranteed P-Status if you can put out Hitch, but like so can your cast if you've got Demeter

I saw you ask who has only played Hades 2 and that would be me. I have some friends who played the first game coaching me along and they helped me get my first win. Artemis is my favorite character so far.

Than axe got me my first clear…. But also Storm Ring did a lot of heavy lifting

Soul mate is actually better than it seems at first glance, I'd have to say. while the limited hitch is a downside, it makes PS way way easier to apply and keep up 100% when your main damage comes from a hitch inducing attack, and is essentially a flat 20% damage increase.

Ok I am gonna be real you getting epic flutter strike as a first boon on an axe run is illegal.

the craziest thing is this isnt max crit. than scythe goes up to 20% crit chance. such a satisfying weapon to use

I was one shotting mini-bosses in Tartarus with aspect of Charon, poseidon cast, and Haephestus special. Once p-status procs it's over.

They unfortunately broke Thanatos Aspect with the most recent update. I don’t know if it’s a bug or an intended nerf, but now getting Psychic Whirlwind or the upgrade that sends the whirlwind out in front of you makes the crit chance only go up by 1% regardless of how many times you hit with the whirlwind.

i think it would be SO cool if the final nocturnal arm was zagreus’ sword

Scyth is such acool weapon loves it the most

My friend played Hades 1 a lot but i never touched it, now I downloaded Hades II because he got me into slay the spire and roguelike's that way

I feel like that chronos dialogue before the fight confirms that the 6th weapon won’t be a scythe, which was a common theory

I really love the axe since we never had a big hitter weapon in the previous game

Gee the amount of content you put out, give this man a medal/prize/$$$, something please!!

Demeter has a boon that makes u deal a lot more damage with the omega attack for only +10 mana. It's very OP it made me finish cerburs in like 40sec

It's so fun seeing the master at work.

There is a strange quark I found that I really don't like with aspect of Thanatos. If you take the hammer that makes it so you can use your normal attack while your omega attack is going, you will only get a 1% increase on your crit chance even if the omega hits an enemy multiple times. I dont really know why that's the case but it's a hammer that is probably worth avoiding with that aspect unless it gets changed (or fixed if it's not intentional)

I think we need to start a petition to sgg to add a hug button for Hades. I just wanna give him a hug, tell him it’s alright.

I don't know if it's a glitch, but while using this aspect if you get the hammer that lets you attack and special while in your whirlwind, only the first hit of the whirlwind counts as a stack. So I'd recommend not taking that hammer with this aspect.

scythe to scythe,.. nah scythering ;)

Yeah this is the first aspect i maxxed out. Such a game changer

I'm one of the player peaks, trying buffed dad run and it is hard a

15:13 I don't know if its intentional (i have a feeling its not), but I had a run where I took the well of charon item to guarantee a chaos gate where next possible, and it spawned in asphodel making it impossible to access since you'll get teleported out as soon as you finish the challenge in there

Oh hey, it's a whirlwind axe ruin :O

I hate that the scythe and axe are pretty much the same weapon, one's just slower and stronger.

why is chronos stronger then Jesus himself?

This is always my go to build. So good.

Hera is very nice with spin builds

Can someone explain family trade?

bro cleared it like it with ease

I am a console player and watching these videos has me seriously considering putting my self in debt just so I can get a PC to play this game sooner lol 😆 😅

I'm loving this EA!! Have you tried the double special with the staff? Its criminal

Im thinking about doing a run with double up from poseidon but maybe turning it into epic or heroic with hera's boon or narcisus keepsake and create a selene curse with it. What you guys think, is it a cool idea?

One thing I'm curious to hear about: why do you not seem to rate the Hermes boon 'Hard Target' at all? The reduced projectile speed seems pretty good when I try it for many of the bosses and also for some enemies in small rooms that love to fill the screen with bullshit.

Any tips on Oceanus area? I am really struggling with the armour and confined spaces in that area. Thanks.

have you tried pan aspect with poseidon special? it’s so easy to build, all you need to do is pom the special and get the poseidon legendary and you’re doing 800 - 1k per omega special (with fully upgraded aspect)

Basically Born Gain makes any build broken.

shame its bugged with the "attack while using omega attack" and "omega attack flies forwards" hammers, each spin stops giving 1% crit each, and it just becomes 1% for the entire omega attack

Haven't played this game yet, but it definitely looks like Chronos is much more difficult than Hades.

Lol I started playin hades 1 last week, almost to the epilogue now and I’m tryin so hard to see how I can play hades 2😭

Man waiting on this for ps5 😭😭

Haelian, kind of a weird question. At like 1:35 you start the run directly from the Arcana cards, how the hell did you do that?? Lol

i tried this combo way too early now my axe fear is at 20 while everything else is 1-8. suffering from success over here

Can someone explain the loadout to me? How is this getting a chance for duo boons when The Queen isn't activated

You could have gotten heroic boons with that Hera you skipped. Fun run to watch though!

Where is the Thanatos artwork from the thumbnail from?

Why not hephy on the special? I feelt it was super strong, bucause it can be proced by taping special when point blank and at that point it is free 400 dmg every 20 seconds. It's super quick

Hey love the channel! your playlist for Hades 2 is out of order though just letting you know!

haphaestus blast effect can crit, i've seen it.

What's the percentage counter above the DD icons during fights? Is it the crit chance from the aspect?

ive beaten cronos 4 times and all of them have been with the than axe

Does anyone know how to get the codex upgrade that shows boons?

Im not a fan of daggers, i prefer the axe its so much more fun and does a ton of damage!

wait till you try chronos on 20 fear....in order to get to 20 you have take the fears that power the mobs up AVOID the one that makes them faster cause it makes chronos almost impossible lol

Anyone knows if you can 1shot or deal huge burst to chronos in his 2nd phase using nasty comeback against the instakill attack?

Is scythe an aspect of axe? How do you get it?

Hitch is Rama-lite

4 Gods are definetly possible, have 4 right now in a run ^^

how do you unlock "view offering option" from codex?

Anyone know what the blue orb is with 8%? next to his lifebar.

Has anyone tried to do the pet thing with cerb?

Will weapons get legendary aspects

How do you unlock the Aspects?

Where you get the dark mat to get the scythe?

Where to get the Dark thingy

How do i check each gods boons?
