Hades - The Painful Way 

So true. I hate Alecto, especially when she gets her rage bar and spite out those blade rifts of doom. I can deal with the other two just fine, but she always presents such a challenge for some reason.

@@DannySmithson she and the other furies are one of many reasons to take athena’s attack or even better - dash. They generate so many attacks it just deletes them.

spoiler

i haven"t played the game yet plan on getting tho

@@DannySmithson But she's dumb as a rock. You can literally lead her into the traps.

Basically my experience with Cuphead

The fight music getting you hyped is the greatest trap in the game. It’s the leading cause of caution being thrown to the wind in most players I think.

When you get better survive becomes dominate

Wrong Fury

@@Nat_the_Chicken i think the idea was that zag expected meg and saw tisiphone instead and had no idea what was happening.

I am no murderer !!

@@alavirart526 Yeah I know what the idea was, I wasn't telling the poster they were wrong. That was just my immediate response that wasn't very funny

@@Nat_the_Chicken oh, sorry, I'm the dumbass lmao. I read what you said completely wrong

**proceeds to get slammed by the Ares/Aphrodite combo**

@@Cairo40000Yea but a Combo I Found Better is Nemesis Sword Aspect with Artemis and Athena Boons. Add Daedalus Hammer Upgrades and Nothing Can Stop You. Even with Extreme Measures + 30% Health increase.

@@thatguy3925 See, that combo's really good for clearing the game fast on low heat, but once you add other shit like no healing, double hit immunity and the motherfucking TIMER then you need to use the damage meta.

Y'all talking about strats, I just take whatever looks good and hope it's useful

I'm still quite new as I've just beaten the game yesterday but the shotgun upgrade with Poseidon strike is pretty nasty. I kept getting the Plume speed upgrade every single encounter since I got the combo.

"meg has some of the best lines in the game" - what i would say if all the lines weren't pure gold

I surely can't be alone in sensing the sexual tension in that exchange.

@@fernhausluv44 yeah just a smidge

"Oh I might go back the painful way later on. You just won't be my escort."

​​@@fernhausluv44Meg showed him the painful way in the bed later.

Late game: *WELCOME TO THE SHADOW REALM JIMBO*

Hey meg, I turned off my powers so we're even now.

Still stuck in early game here lmao, but the way you describe it is exactly what fighting BOTW Guardians is like

"Meg, you are baby mode. Goo goo gaga, bitch"

@@millicentwood549 Ah yes. Darkmane xD

Lol never thought about it that way but true

Oof

"Well, I have a reputation to uphold. If you make it past me again, you better make it all the way."

he said that back in the house

"Leave me alone"

Omg exactly!!!😂

Correction: “run from the *HOT* whip lady.”

@@Blizzic one can be both scary and hot.

@@Blizzic with shield: ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THE EXTREMELY HOT WHIP LADY

@@janemaria8912 lmao, yesterday was my first time to playing Hades, and the bow, that fkng bow, Jesus christ. That's good

@@The_Black_Pastor I don't know how good it is because I'm a virgin shield user but ima try it

And oddly enough I'm starting to like Meg more after each run

I was so happy when I knocked Meg at my.. second run :D First run ended at the mini bosses xD

Why knock her into her spike traps when you can knock her up? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I... Actually managed to kill her the first time I encountered her, clearly having both luck and gods on my side on this one. I felt so overjoyed, then... Well, Asphodel. Emotional roller-coaster am I right?

@@zackaes Oof, that's rough xD

Zag with Agis ready to Bull Rush as soon as he gets knocked back: WASSUP, BABY?! (Thank you King of Skill and TRICK2G)

kudos to the drunk man dionysius for sharing his drunken shot arrows with me

First time I beat her I had the gauntlets. I'm a fan of up close and personal, what can I say?

@@marcogypaetus9607 gauntlet took 8 keys to unlock, don't tell me you been grinding in Tartarus just for that thing...

@@mediaguy9557 oh fuck no shit, i got confused, i had the gauntlets the first time i beat Hades. I think with her it was the sword.

70+ - Okay, I have 3 max health, frost fair blade, and nothing but Duo and Chaos boons. More than enough for Meg.

100+ Damn, remember when Meg was an issue?

Maaan Zagreus living the dream having a gf to do sparring with

100+ with Guan Yu this time; DODGE, DODGE, DO- nooooo!

@@Znwarp true Guan Yu is hard af

Thats like bragging that you beat up someone when they were a crippled baby with no clue then proceeded to lose 70 times in a row and also get defeated by a Merchant for employee of the month lmao.

Electo is tougher lol

@@astillia6073 Will never forget the first time I faced the minotaur and shit myself because he was just too strong "Ah, the previous two bosses just took some trying! I'm sure this will--" *CRUNCH* *"LITTLE MAN."*

@@remratsuken You fought just the minotaur? That's... That's a miniboss, not even a full boss.

@@gregorygarrison572 Since then I've gotten past Elysium, but that was true 2 days ago. Literally could not beat him so I just went "fuck it" and skipped the miniboss. Almost got through Hades before I got stomped

μακάρι να ήταν ετσι και στην πραγματικότητα φίλε

When you pick the resource boons from Poseidon and Dionysus but still get to Hades

I had a perfect run with Exagryph, but got reckless on a Thanatos challenge in Elysium. Couldn't bring it back enough to kill Hades and died in the 2nd phase. "Screw it, I'm gonna try the shield." _beats Hades_ "huh..."

@@gManGabe shield is amazing for hades. with divine dash and doom on attack and zeus call its amazing for absolutely shredding the final boss. the fire beam thingies arent a problem

@@ssin1785 beat the game for the first time last night just like this lmao

@@randombozo1306 congrats man

ooooh you have a cool dm

@@maeves.w.7156 (im the dm lmao) thanks :)

you're a cool dm.

Bro that’s gotta be the most fire d&d game ever lmao

@@guiAstorDunc bro it is, campaign is basically mad max in hell

fury-ious

Fury-ious

Same. I had that experience. The thrill of the song and the fight itself was a perfect combination. It's like this song is literally meant to be this specific boss fight's theme. Seriously though, it was easily my favourite moment from this game so far by a landslide. Edit: It was specifically at 4:04 that I had the thrill, but I do know what you mean.

@@mane42 yeap I was fighting and just as I was dashing this part of song was playing and I was like wait this song is so cool, this fight so cool. That's the moment I started loving Meg. The devs really planned this out well.

I arrived at this comment and that section started playing...

It depends on your relationship with her, if you both good, then dialog is less harsh even without much of a spite

At some point she'll suggest the only reason you can beat her is with the help of the Olympians and Nyx's mirror, and if you beat her afterwards with 0 upgrades she'll get super upset and just ask if you take pleasure in wiping the floor with her every run. Was a bit of a gut punch ngl :/

@@ellagage1256 This depends on your closeness to her. If there is no bond, then she will be bitter about that, but in romance it won't be harsh and she would be fine with Zagreus's skill progress

@@Ravil322 Huh I've have to try that again with a higher bond then 🍯

If you haven't played it yet the metal riffs trigger at the perfect time in the game

Yeah the bastion-esque soundtrack sold me right away

@@wanghiskhan7345 they're made by the same company

@@dragonarchive7443 correct. All games are composed by Darren Korb. But this soundtrack has songs that are on par with (including similar instrumentation) songs from Bastion specifically.

Thought myself so first 18 times...

The entire cast is nonchalantly cool, even Hypnos and Chiron.

@@adaptorperish1322 took me like 2 tries

@@Summer_turtle_ took me one try with a good shield upgrades

@@janemaria8912 haha i defeated her for the first time last night with the shield

They know better than Nintendo and Blizzard, etc. Release the soundtrack officially or have it pirated.

Plus most of us buy the soundtracks anyway.

AuspexAO yeah I do hope though this one gets a vinyl like transistor did

Uhh.. nice!

Nice

Lmao good one x)

Nice!

Lmao

Better get the antivenom ready.

@@gregtronica3569 i'd reply with an insult but its already in your name

@@gregtronica3569 reddit moment

@@gregtronica3569 Lets all appreciate good music M8. Thats in the spirit of this game fam.

@@gregtronica3569 That escalated quickly... (Luka)

it's that mediterranean flair. reminds me of Algerian music

i know it’s two different influences and nationalities, but because i’m a fuckin boomer this ost gives me prince of persia vibes and it makes me really want a switch just for this game

Funny thing is that the main instrument is the Turkish bağlama. Well it got affected by Arabesque in the past but the instrument is of Turkish origin.

@@bingle6271 Prince of persia & Serious sam TFE & TSE vibes for sure with the metal mixed in

@@efesimsek550 Anatolia Algeria mediterranean were all greek in origin even if it is the ancient greek civilization or the byzantine empire. The music intruments are byzantine in origin therefore greek. The ottomans were influenced and adopted many byzantine themes music architecture and state goverment. Just like romans did with ancient greece. Turkey is a mongol origin and has nothing to do with western civilization. Bouzouki and baglamas originated from constantinoples lavta. Its not turkish. Anatolia even has many ancient greek and byzantine momuments.

"Come closer, Zagreus..."

Murr.... murr... MURRRRDERRERRRR!!

I hate the 3rd sister with a fiery passion. What is her deal anyway? Why can she only say murder/er?

Skin Walker she’s special

@@adinv9257 ah I see.

Dont, keep reading deeper, theres alot of stuff buried and hidden in SG games.

I would contribute to the theorizing but I know nothing about Greek myth so...

​@@Continental_Champ Ca's theory fits the official legend. Hades was banished into the underworld by his brother and cannot leave (except for very rare circustances I beleive and Zeus must allow it.

Bruh, you be trying to figure out Hades's story, and I still don't get what happened in Transistor

@@adamweinberg2532 *Spoilers* Everyone dies and goes to the old country.

Supergiant is the best indie studio in gaming IMO. Their team is tiny and they still have top tier art, gameplay, soundtracks, and writing in every single game they put out. Not to mention their games are always heavily polished and have very few bugs. Their talent is astounding.

You can already play it can't you ? I mean, I just bought it and its currently downloading the game

@@FirionDude you are referring to early access. The entire game is not out, but since you bought it. Once the full game comes out, you will get to enjoy the benefits.

@@Raizen22 Yeah, but still, I can already satisfy my hunger for a new supergiant game, even if it is still unfinished.

@@FirionDude Can't argue that friend. Can't argue that.

Murder?

He’s no mortal. He’s Apollo.

You are tearing apart Meg!

Jesus Christ man it's so good I can't stand still.

You are doing the Lord's work

You say that, but I honestly don't think it kicks nearly as hard if you didn't have the buildup to it.

finally someone said it xD

YES! Those Warrior Withing vibes and tunes! Maybe it's inspired. I'm glad more seasoned gamers like me notice that. 2004 WW - such a masterpiece!

Best PoP game for sure. Can’t wait the remaster

With a splash of Dread Design from Pyre. Yup!

I hear a lot of "soul regret" as well. Loving this game. Just came to switch, late reply. Bastion is still one of my top 10 OSTs of all time

Knew I’d find this comment eventually lol

This is by far one of my favorite comments in any gaming community xD
