There's something deeply satisfying about seeing hitch obliterate a roomful of enemies, especially if you also have Dying Wish, which I think is a big part of the reason why Hera's my favourite god in Hades 2
26:10 Best guess, you were hitting all three with high damage at the same time. (similar to how this boss fight is probably the best use of Hestia's scorch since all three targets share a health bar) 26:27 Actually, that could be a factor as well, you were hitting all three causing both standard damage as well as two instances of hitch damage for each. 29:15 Yeah, that doesn't really seem to be the best hammer for the Aspect of Moros. 1:01:10 After you attempt to pause on Chronos several times (I don't know the exact number) it unlocks something.
Hera Hitch really doesn't require other boon combos to be good, rather scary. It works wonders for mobbing ^ My only critic with descriptions is whether an effect alters the Special in general or just the normal Special. For instance, the Coil hammer where a normal special deletes 80% of total armor, doesn't affect Omega Special I believe? Eh, you live and learn. I- I can't imagine being able to pause more than once! (sticky notes time!)
@@Hamstir4 For the boon descriptions, I've noticed/heard people mention that if the boon says it affects your "special" (singular) it's only the normal, but if it's "specials" (plural) it affects both normal and omega. The same holds true for attack and cast boons.
20:23 could it be that she isn't capable of reciprocity due being stuck in a toxic relationship? (Am a bit on the dark about Hera and Zeus so I wouldn't mind someone filling me in, on Hera's side specifically)
@@ahmedalissa7620 No I’d say I know as much as you in this regard, but if I may attempt. We know Zeus likes to have his way with anyone. So it must be real frustrating to find many children of Zeus but not of Hera. Such as Hermes, Apollo, and Heracles. It’s unclear whether Hera has a bad temper because of this or it’s part of her nature. But we can surmise its a terrible combination and seems she can’t overthrow the king of gods sadly . As to your first question, I do think she has trust issues, likely thanks to Zeus.
H-hold on Ben, you telling me the challenge was for the Incantation. I have to do the impossible multiple times?! I was also wondering why I didn't have an incantation pop out.
Sorry your run didn't go as well as expected 💖 It was fun to watch as always Hephaestus may be My Man,,, but yeah his gain boon is really bad :// No one's perfect I guess They do this really interesting thing with Chronos where when you vanquish him, his death voice lines sometimes sound sad? Even pitiable? He really does seem like an old man who has nothing left except hathred Also yeah you have to pause multiple times or it doesn't count 😤😤 You need to hear the funny voicelines too Good run
I can't believe I have to pause multiple times. I- this only happened to sheer luck. Fine. So it goes on. Chronos does sound like a lost man, so deep into vengeance. He has no family far as I can tell. Least, doesn't care about anyone. Lonely old man. Thaanks again! Rough start but we don't quit!
you know, there was actually a challenge request for that, and I was down! One god only run. I actually tried it today, and, it wasn't pretty LOL. spoilers to future runs* Despite my rerolls, I only managed 2 boons by the time I made it to Chronos. Very sad run lol. On paper, I expected to fulfill requirements for legendaries, but I didn't even come close. I gave it another try, but then I got hit with Hephaestus on wands again lmao. I've put it on hold for other's suggestions or we could adjust the challenge. In the meantime, I decided to try 32 Fears on all weapons until we come up with something ^
Presumably Hephaestus has the worst mana regen because he's like, the one least affiliated with magic? Didn't he express reservations about magic in earlier episodes? Like this trait feels in-character, is what I mean. One would think Toula'd be more interested in the fish-based foes... I forgot to mention this in your last video, but do you know why Polyphemus' sheep had cast circles or something around them during the boss fight? So Melinoë's voice while under Dark Side = Giant!Melinoë's voice?
Mmm! I like your analysis on Hephaestus, that may be the case! If Toula had bonus dmg against Oceanus mobs, that'd be cool ^ helluva pitch Mystery Hmm, I actually don't know. I figured that's the range Polyphemus could grab them to munch on and heal? Now that I think of it, he doesn't eat the exploding sheep. So ig those circles appear on generic sheep. I do think Dark Side and Giant Meli's voice are the same ^
@@Hamstir4 By that reasoning, Toula should also have bonus damage against the rats (sorry Alessandra). Are the dark gray sheep the exploding ones? This game has so many different types of sheep in it. I even saw a rumor that Circe's sheep are pink because right now they're stand-ins for pigs.
@@theheartofmymystery Mmm! Ya know, I would love Toula to have some dmg advantages as that! The dark sheep are explosive lmao ^ there's a ram that physically chases you around, but I haven't encountered them often. It's true, Circe's sheep is meant to be pigs because she refers to them as piggies. and when you step forward, Meli might say "Hail piggies!" Frightening.
20:45 Yes, and Hera likely also put quite a lot of them there (if indirectly). The Lamiai we find down there are meant to be the children of Queen Lamia (I think) and she was cursed Hera/Hera killed her children/Hera cursed her to kill/eat her children for sleeping with Zeus.
Oh Hephestus, Oh Echo, forcing upon the actually worst Mana Regen in the entire game, hands down. My girl. My guy. What the hell. Lol, in all honesty there really was no way that could have gone worse right at the start but at least you got Hephestus Cast, which I think is one of the really good ones. (Then again, I think every Cast except for Hera's is really good ones 😆) So imma do a little Tier List down here for Mana Gain Boons, and you tell me if you have any disagreements. Demeter Hera Hestia Posiedon/Zeus Apollo Aphrodite Hephestus I think the damage was from some kind of combo between the umbral flames special and the Hitch Effect hitting all three of the sirens multiple times back to back. Maybe focusing on Hera Special might be something to look into for Aspect of Melinoe? Oh god that Hammer sucks. Oh poor Moros wands, they've not received the best treatment today have they? Hephestus Mana Gain followed by the Morning Fields Hammer... oof... "I'm not gonna hurt you Cerberus" - immediately starts Blasting him lol. You know, I knew Hitch was strong, but this is fucking insane damage! Holy crap! You cleared that room like it was absolutely Nothing! She #CHRONOSPAUSED Let's fucking go! Now all you gotta do is do it a couple more times to unlock something cool! Also, I agree with Mystery let's get some level ups on Toula! I live in fear of the day theae videoes end, and hope you'll return for any major update the early access gets later this year. In the name of Hades!
Ooo I like your list! Interesting you put Demeter top but I can see why. Your top three makes sense, it would come down to those 3 ^ I would have Hera, Hestia, and Demeter in that order. But honestly they’re close to me. Mainly down to convenience since I’m always on the move. I've been starting to play on faster enemies and the thought of standing still is a lil scary. For Hera, more runs than not, about 99% (my bullshit number), I don't worry about the Hera Prime while fighting. (i expect a nerf~) Actually, ive been thinking lately about the Arcana Huntress. Demeter's gain may be better by intentionally keeping yourself under 100% magick. if thats the case, Demeter might be more strategical than i gave credit ^ Zeus i used to like when I started, but boy they eat a LOT of magick. they have some good synergy with boons that trigger on low mana ^ i also been thinking more about aphrodite's gain! its still bad lol, but! it will always apply a curse onto someone. people telling me Origination Arcana is your bread and butter (its true). its likely not as good as the typical cast and attack curse combo. but i do think its interesting its the only gain boon that could provide a curse effect ^ my list follows: hera, hestia, demeter, poseidon, zeus, apollo, aphrodite, and hephaestus. Oh ya, Hera special on wands have to be the best, hands down. Aspect of Meli sounds perfect! That Hera’s Dying Wish is only stronger from More Enemy vow! That hammer was evil! origin coil, I’ll remember that name… Hmm! I ended up treating them for more fish spawns because I see them better for gathering haha. But what buff would you rather see? There was also +10 on Defiance or Fury Swipe twice. I’d assume we’d rather have them fight longer. We paused!!!! Now we have to manage another one again, gonna take another 48 episodes lmao, jk. Alas, this series will end at some point, definitely will be back on full game! Really sweet you and everyone have been enjoying it after all these runs. :’)
16:27 Hamstir needing a joystick part 69. Darling, you need to get subs faster, so you can buy yourself one. (Not serious) 18:13 No kith him he stanky. 22:45 LMAOOOOOOOOOO Hermes in the 21st centuries delivers in heelies, change my mind. 22:53 We've seen them in his in-world 3d model as well. He has sandals in this one, not the boots. 46:54 I had no doubt you'd do it. But still... you really did it? 52:34 ... tf even happened- 56:49 AYO THIS FUCKER JUST CALLED US POOR! GET HIM! 1:01:09 WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR LEGIT 48 EPISODES AND YOU DO THAT ACCIDENTALLY?! At least you did it! Also, stop complaining. Moros loves you uwu. 1:04:09 you made it with 3 HP. You had Toula death defiance, I guess, but that was close. 1:04:33 Moros carried the run fr fr What??? No videos for a week? Pity. I still gotta catch some videos I missed (college and all). Maybe buy a controller in the interim ;) Also: Congrats on pausing in the final boss battle! Idk what you should do to get the incantation on the cauldron, but I hope someone else might aid you there. Moros really does have the hots for you. Moros×Hamstir best ship. He was a god, He/She/They was a hamster with a bow... best love story. About that, are you a he, are you a she, or are you an agent of Chaos? Feels awkward asking you after 48 runs...
Know you're joking, but should I be making money from this? Okay, we won't kith! Hermes again would be ahead of our time. I felt compelled by Chaos. LOL its the domino effect of Hitch, most of that was from Hera's Dying Wish. A hitch enemy dies and deals damage to ALL other hitch foes. and usually, the other foes die after another, and well. an instantaneous domino effect! and we got him! I get really focused for Chronos. I literally remember needing to pause by the time I'm at the cauldron LOL. Oh but I will complain!! But not at Moros, he's mvp!! c: I actually don't know when I'll get the next video done. I just finished playing for this weekend. 7 run videos I can foresee. Enough for another week before I play again. I don't think I'll take a week tho! Expect a few days!! Truuue, no sweat! College and life! LOL I've gone used without a controller, idk haha. People have said I need to pause a few more times for the Incantation. Ha! Hamster with a bow still gets me. and not awkward at all! I go by he and Agent of Chaos tyvm! lmao there was a comment that assumed I was a gal I think? but I never corrected them lmao.
@@Hamstir4 eh? Dunno. There's people who make money outta this. It's time consuming and soul-sucking, though. So no pressure. It was really just a joke. I assumed you went by she, because you're so open about how you feel towards these characters, ig. And because you assumed my friend that played Hades (the Charon Smoocher) was a she, even if I used "they"? Pretty sure I used they-
@@alessandragangemi9611 I've been told from money rolls in in the long term, but I don't expect to keep doing this long-term. It really was just for Hades 2 haha. and fine joke, I just had a thought was all. You know! I forgot too whether you specified about your friend. Coould be my false memory, but I went with "she" as a leap of faith LOL. Old comments get lost once I "react" to them, so I couldn't confirm myself. I'll keep in mine when you refer to your friend as "they". and I get what you mean, most my guy friends aren't as sensitive guess you could say lol.
Well relationships go too far,its very rare for people to understand themselves and what they want and find a partner that has that and matchs an aspect of the partner.but in marriage or really long term contact you can't help try to convert you partners other aspect that causes flashes.thats why i believe relationships should be based on intrests and making sure they match unless one person has power then the other
They say opposites attract, but that's very well a myth ^ maybe in fiction it's cute, but in real life, you want someone that shares the same interest and ideologies, otherwise one of us is sleeping on the couch tonight! It's actually not as intuitive as one might think to love and understand themselves, along with many other things that's expected in a relationship. But boy understanding yourself if huge. Our parents likely stumbled, but I'd like to think we know a bit better in what it means to have a healthy match. I brought up my older generations because they likely thought marriage was intuitive, when it really isn't.
I laughed so hard at the beginning of this run, I feel a little guilty laughing at your misfortune so please forgive me :p "Moros feels so good" - bombastic side eye XD On another note, the fast enemies pact is just so traumatizing the enemies are so fast, especially once the room is all cluttered by enemies with the "more enemies pact". Even the little fish things that spin become a danger T.T Btw I've just realised that Meli does the naruto run, she is an otaku.
You may laugh at my misfortunes; it does make me feel better LOL. I stand by what I said about Moros ^ Fast enemies are really scary, especially Oceanus I feel! It's the spinning lasers and little fish for me. and while you're worried about them, the environment hazards say Hi! Yess! The naruto run is lowkey why I love the wands more. It's the little things.
It'll be hard to set down our man Moros, but Eos was feeling strong since that Chaos Trial ^ I wouldn't be surprised if it is the best Wands. Best god to go with my guess is Hera. But my brain wants to take Hestia and spam spinning flames.
