Underworld 32 Run! Let's Begin! I absolutely love that they made the old Eos Wand into a Hammer, it works so well with Moros and Melinoe, funnily enough I don't think it works quite as well with Eos anymore 😅. I can see maybe Arachne possibly moving into the Crossroads? Making dresses there and allowing you to start off with one? Not being there all the time, but occasionally. And the times she's not there, seeing her out in your run. I think that would be a really really cool way to progress her story, allowing her a community and an opportunity to open up her shop, the Shades might be all over it! However, I don't see her story ending that way. I just know Meli is going to help find a way to end her Curse, which just might help restore some faith in the Gods in Arachne, even if it's just in Melinoe. I think that's gonna be the end game of a few of Meli's interactions with NPC's, restoring their faith in the Gods, and maybe forcing the Gods to see their own flaws in their "I can do whatever I want to Mortalkind" attitude. Fixing the damaged state of affairs that made some mortals turn to Chronos in the first place. Nemesis thought that you're trying to beat the Arachne challenge lol. Also very very proud of ya for picking magic over Selene. Avatar the Last Airbender Challenge Ideas: Requires learning the four elements before facing Chronos or Eris. (That means attack, special, cast, and Sprint must be all different, each of the elements.) Fire - Zues or Hestia Water - Posiedon or Demeter Earth - Hephestus Air - Apollo or Aphrodite (best I can think of for Air. Apollo is in the sky and Aphrotide has a lot of Airy kind of things. I suppose you could make the argument that Zues should be Air, but everything about him is lightning so, I don't think so.) You must use Toola (Momo) and you must use the Staff (Aang's Staff). You can use any element for Mana Regen and take any other Boon you wish, it is only the offensive ones that have to be different to represent the elements. Finally, when you get Selene's power, you must say "That's Rough Buddy." (For Yue) Personally I think Soot Sprint is the best Sprint power defensively speaking, and maybe even the best one period. She's easily up there with Hephestus and Apollo for best Sprint. I love getting Soot Sprint. Oh... Oh that Duo is not good for a Vow of Arrogance run. Luckily you would never take... *Long sigh* Losing Soot Sprint for Frigid Sprint is easily the worst trade possible, omg, I don't see a way out of this one, this is colossally unfortunate. Not that Frigid Sprint is bad persay, just not nearly as good as Soot Sprint. First loss in a while, but you got what you wanted! Meli is right Eris, you define what Strife means, you got this! Also... Wine Mom Hecate? 🤔 In Shadow we Serve
Just want to start with I had a time reading your Avatar challenge requirements LOL. I died at the staff, then died again on Momo. Okay, so I thought of Aphrodite to represent Air too with her cast! Hmm! ^ Looks like you're thinking less of the Infusions, I was coming to that conclusion myself ^ Certain Infusions may be great too, but may not be a requirement. Example, Aphrodite's dodge could represent how slippery Aang was. I actually didn't think of the Staff, I'd consider it! I was also thinking of Aspect of Pan, the Special perfectly conveys that bending visual, especially if we get Poseidon or Hestia Special. Even Zeus Special could be for Lightning bending. (tho Aang doesn't lightning bend) The Blades' attacks could look like those short fire punches you see Zuko do. So I see Staff and Blades as great candidates ^ Earth is the toughest since it isn't conveyed that well in Hades 2, but Hephaestus may be the best bet ^, we'll just get Vent and we're good or something. I didn't think of Apollo ^ Ig his attacks could be airy and nimble to represent Air! also for Sprint, Hestia's soot sprint (although fire) feels more like air bending if we're blocking projectiles. Best sprints I can imagine is Hestia or Poseidon for that visual effect. LOL not the Yue joke. Alright, I need a break from you Nicholas. --------------- The Eos hammer is really good ^ it's absolutely made for Moros~ All I want for Arachne is to not be lonely again, and a community would be huge on that. After that, hope she gains some sense of self-love. A fraction of Narcissus's self-love would be sufficient. But you may be right, they'll be more to it. Especially knowing Athena is in the game. It's becoming less of a 50-50 chance when choosing Magick over whatever's shiny ^ Now about that Duo incident LMAO. It had prophecy!! (and it so happened to be the worst Duo possible) It's crazy we're at Run 50, and I'm just not comfortable trusting the Soot Sprint. I do agree it's insanely valuable just deleting projectiles ^ and I still find myself surprised what could be blocked by Soot Sprint or Axe Block. (I believe the Axe could block Chronos flying sickle) And the Sprint trade felt bad because the sacrifice boon leveled up the rarity too ^ And I did get what I want. Now let's not lose for awhile. I didn't think Eris would be capable of changing, but ig that left an opening in making some revisions as to what Strife means. To Shadows you return!
Okay, to start, sorry for not commenting on the last video. I'd written out a comment, but I forgot to actually post it. 6:30 Yeah, probably Typhon. 10:35 This makes me think, in the Patch Notes, they stated that they changed it so that Nem wouldn't give you a Death Defiance if you couldn't actually take it. 17:10 Hmm, true that it would be incredibly difficult to get 4 infusions in a single run, but for the god choices I'd probably go with: Water = Poseidon, Earth = either Hephaestus or Hera, Fire = Hestia, Air = Zeus (while lightning is a sub form of firebending, Zeus has, I believe, exclusively air boons, and he's the lord of the sky). 29:45 Wait, is that duo boon saying that it blocks Max HP, Max MP, and money from being offered as rewards? That seems pretty bad for an extra 20% chance of a boon being rare (especially with the Vow of Arrogance, since you'll constantly be priming more magick, but you won't be able to increase your magick outside of Charon's shop, or the minor rewards in the Fields of Mourning). 55:13 Bags with freaking lasers. 1:01:35 Oh good, I was a little worried when the music didn't change right away. 1:04:10 Thank you Mel. Let's be honest, most mortals don't want anything to do with Death or Doom either, and Retribution is a double edged sword.
Aww, that's okay Digi, I figured you were there somewhere enjoying the run in spirit. You're not obligated to comment, and I still appreciate you :) The hype for Typhon is nuts. True! Tho i never received that Defiance when I needed it since the change haha. The patch was for the best tho ^ So I thought about this later, the challenge is definitely more interesting collecting every Infusion. But feasibly it's incredibly difficult. Even then, visually it doesn't feel like the Avatar right? If I were to grab all 4 Infusions, Poseidon Infusion doesn't relate, it's his splash boons that convey more of that waterbending feel. So perhaps it won't be based off of Infusions and more so specific boons that looks closest to bending. I actually considered Aphrodite Cast as Airbender, but ofc the pink visuals don't help with that. Zeus Special on Aspect Pan will look so cool for bending lightning ^ But if that's the challenge, it's really just me using the God keepsakes and that shouldn't really be much of a challenge, hmm. So not sure, we could still attempt Infusions. Oh ya, that duo was terrible in every angle you look at considering the Vow. My mind was telling me no, but my body was telling me, yes. Well that's one less prophecy to worry about! Those bags are becoming a problem! It's good there seemed to be some premeasures to ensure the correct music plays. Truue! Mortals don't anything to do with Nyx's children in general.
44:57 oh baby, I watch you _because_ of that. :3 56:06 :3 u called? 1:00:20 chad report. 1:03:09 Sorry for saying this, but had no doubts you'd lose. 1:04:03 Nobody wanted anything to do with Death either. He was just very focused on his work. 1:05:19 alcoholic Hecate. 1:05:44 the build lacked a bit. 1:06:31 you "choked" on him? :3 That was a productive run. Bug report, a lot of enjoyment, and you lost! What's there not to love? Very nice work, but next time you should remember your infusions.
LOL you feed on my pain and suffering. I got my eye on you... and no, you're not sorry! (Ah who am I kidding, I knew I already lost too LOL) Chad report indeed! Feels good. smiles* Right, Thanatos had a whole talk about mortals not liking him or the concept of death. If I recall, he's rather patient with his work! I'd like to hear who Hecate felt lovesickness to c: Tho not fun for her, so, perhaps not. The build lacked because I designed it so! out of my own impulses. You know what I meant! and besides, there's other's I'd rather choke to. True, infusions would've helped my confidence ^ All in all, a productive run ^ 'twas a wild run of me fighting with myself.
@@TheSlumberingSanctuary Ya lmao, I was jesting over how the trope goes. "I'll worry about it later" then the same character dies. No way we lose Hephaestus!
7:51 I’m guessing dyes? 13:15 Melinoe take a rest day challenge level impossible 49:24 not this man having such a beautiful voice and for what. Witnessing and enacting silently the doom of mortals? You should get into narration, sir 1:04:07 No, I do pity her. I pity her brain’s not grown in enough for her to realize these "jobs"/ divine purposes her siblings have is not what make people like them or find them interesting, they’re all things mortal fear or hate, they just have a personality. and that she can develop a personality of her own too without playing into the "Oh, i’m strife, I do mischievous thing!" stereotype because she knows nothing else than to attract attention hoping people will actually pay attention to her. Girl you do not want to be defined by others and then you let yourself be defined by your divine purpose? Get a grip. Grow a spine! Either rebel and define yourself fully or let yourself be defined without all this fuss.
Hmm, I'm not sure, Arachne made it sound like she had everything she needed before. Dyes is a possibility ^ late game dresses?!?! Similar to narcissus's late game gifts handing out Star Dust. Right, does Meli or anyone canonically rest? Icarus points out that Meli immediately gets back to work soon as she recovers her form. I would love Moros to read me a book or manga to sleep. Lots of things Eris does do seem to be an act for attention ^ and if that's the case, she really does make it difficult for others to give her a chance. I enjoy her immaturity as a character, but realistically she does need to grow out of it if she really wants people to appreciate her more.
Thanks! Okay here's my secret, I really do have a guilty crush for Eris. Her ideas are bad for me, and I enjoy the emotional conflict she brings to my head. The pet name Trouble is bad for me.
@@Hamstir4 Ohhh, SAME! I had maxed out her relationship (as far as we can rn) before I ever met her outside of the Crossroads, so when I got to her boss fight and she said "Oh I'll speak plain: You're boring. I don't *like* you" I was like "... girl don't lie. I have literal measurements of how much you do!" xD But yeah, I'm enjoying your runs :3
@@Hamstir4. Attributes of Artemis. Her sacred plants are the flowering Almond, Hazel, Ranunculus, Honeysuckle, the Fir Tree and the Cypress Tree (the last symbol represents grief and mourning because Artemis could bring terrible diseases such as leprosy, although she also was associated with healing).
@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 wowow, that last bit was interesting! tho I'm sure she has some reaches into disease and cures, but does not dominate in those regards compared to other gods?
18:07. What the hell is Lamia doing in Oceanus? 24:28. I love ❤️ Cherry Blossoms, Dandelion, Jasmine, Sunflower, Lily, Bellflower, Dahlia, Moonflower, Red Spider Lily, Chrysanthemum/Daisy, Thistle, Orchid, Rose, and Camellia more better than Narcissus.
Ooo, I haven't checked the codex for the official names, but if it is Lamia that's cool ^ Those are nice selections Tuan. I think Sunflowers are cute and poppies. Daffodil sounds cute to me too, too bad its associated with Narcissus lol
16:56. Elemental powers are always the strongest. I hope the Boons of Greek Deities can make me stronger than these two arrogant characters, Julius Reinberg and Sion Ulster.
@@Hamstir4. One day, you and I will have three friends who will always be loyal and help us. There are Colette Loire, Lihanna Owenzaus, and especially Wignall Lindor. If they think we are warriors worthy of respect, they would surely want to befriend us.
@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 That does sound nice, but I'm confident that we are doing just fine. If it serves as any encouragement to you, we are worthy with or without their acknowledgements Tuan ^
40:07 & 45:22. The sound in Fields of Mourning is Sprigs of Sorrow, right? Reminds me of Vampire, Castlevania, and Requiem for the Gods. Speaking of vampires, it makes me imagine myself as the male protagonist, a vampire boy with seven loyal vampire girls behind him. The Academy's Professor and Principal convince the vampire boy and the seven vampire girls to protect Sooha and the seven vampire boys: Heli, Jino, Shion, Solon, Jaan, Jakah, and Noa. One day, Sooha and the seven vampire boys will feel grateful and follow him and the seven vampire girls to support them as the Freshmen support the Seniors and watch some Training Grounds where the Seniors use their powers with Fierce looks to fight evil monsters.
@@Hamstir4 When I have powers like Melinoe and Zagreus, weapons like the Infernal Arms and Nocturnal Arms, and the boons of the Greek deities, I can defeat the villains. Because it will make me stronger and more ferocious than Sion Ulster and Julius Reinberg. There are two arrogant men standing before me: Sion Ulster and Julius Reinberg. If they want to fight, bully, and hurt me or the others, I can fight back with strength, weapons, and the boons of the deities. Show them I'm stronger than them. Scare them when I do something cool and fierce. If Sion and Julius continue to bully and act arrogantly in front of me, Nemesis and I would punish them worse than death.
@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 If we're wishing for powers now, I'd ask for the Death Note mwuahaha* But sticking with Hades, all I need is one Greek boon. Dionysus would suffice if I could heal allies and poison enemies, nyah~
@@Hamstir4 I would choose Hermes, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Aphrodite, and Hephaestus. Because they are much stronger and more powerful than the nasty Dionysus. If Sion and Julius continued to appear before me as if interrupting, Nemesis and I wouldn't let them feel a thing unless she and I want them to. I twist the blade and punishment. Sion Ulster and Julius Reinberg feel it.
@@TuanTranMelinoeZagreus4880 ooooh damn, I thought you were just going to scare em off. Well if punishing crueler than death was your plan, I think mind control manipulation would be the power you're looking for no?
