Will Zeus become our strongest solo god YET? | Hades 

I think a good boss idea for Hades 2 would be Scylla. She could make for a great multiheaded monster boss in a very similar vibe to Lerny, plus I imagine that if you're playing on a higher heat, you could also face Charybdis at the same time, perhaps having to avoid the middle of the arena as a whirlpool starts sucking in water.

I love this One God series for no reason at all

Imagine if Zag gives Melinoe a keepsake in hades 2, or a summon

Mod idea: "The Equalizer": Everything has equal chance of showing up as room rewards throughout the whole run. Nothing is kept track of, nothing has limits, no God pool. Get 7 hammers one run, 20 shops and no gold the next, etc...

Thanatos’s bell is most likely supposed to represent a church’s bells ringing during a funeral.

They would ring the church bells for a funeral, so that deep bell chime would be associated with a burial... For whom the bell tolls is about who has passed away.

The retroactive part of the Unity thing is absolutely mind-boggling to me. It sounds like it should be illegal. If anything, I see all the Unity changes as driving devs away from Unity as a whole, either to better/cheaper engines, or to develop their own

I'll admit, I was sitting here talking to the video, "Dan, Dan, there are more boons Dan, don't miss them!"

I did chuckle at the 'Zeus boon only gives us money' when Clouded Judgement was still in the pool.

fun story about the unity thing: the ceo as well as most of the higher ups have sold their shares of the company a week or two before they made these changes :)

I can't help but notice that in every video : why is Persephone's keepsake the only keepsake without that little doodle at the top ?? 🥺 You decided she didn't deserve that last bottle of Ambrosia ?

After you get all the 1 god runs done (and maybe 1 god runs for the modded gods like Apollo and hestia) i would like to see a hammer only run where your non chaos/hermes boons are replaced with hammers or anvils.

LightningPerfect is probably the Reflex boon, and the lower percent lightning strikes were probably Vengeance and maybe Lightning Flourish? Also I waited to see if you’d skip Zeus at the end before mentioning the call boons haha

This run is basically Zagreus: *exists* Zeus: THIS IS A GREAT TIME FOR A LIGHTNING BOLT And yes, you got me a little worried about Clouded Judgment and Billowing Strength.

ive been shouting billowing strength until i see clouded judgement. The real forgotten boon🤣

So, this is how the money from boons and poms are calculated(I think). By default they're 100, but they'll give you an additional (chamber number) times 5. So if you're in chamber 25 and get money from a boon/pom, you'll get 100+125 which is 225

in early Christian/Catholic churches (which originate in the Mediterranean) the bell would only ring to call the parishioners to service, so it would ring on Sundays for Service, Weddings were planned in advance, but they would ring the bell at a higher tempo because "it is a happy day" it would also be rung for funerals at a slower tempo, and you don't plan those along with the loss of someone is a smaller community, all of that together The Reaper for the slow singular chime meaning someone close has been taken.

For Aphrodite, might I suggest a Hazard Bomb run? I like seeing big heart-shaped explosions 😆 Also, Love is a Hazard.

What about a mod where you start your run with a complete build, but lose boons for completing rooms instead of adding them.

The Bell from Thanatos is supposed to represent funeral bells but also the famous line from John Donne's poem "For Whom the Bell Tolls" which is about how we are all connected in death

All Chaos boons would be awesome and challenging.

It could be cool to see a speed run where you have a fully-outfitted custom build from the start. Maybe with some funky conditions to prevent the obvious over-powered builds from being available. Like, what’s the fastest time you can get with Arthur or Hades spear if you get to customize the load out from the get go?

A mod where you break in to the house of Hades, not out

Ooh. Is this Haelian's Very Special Episode™?

And then along came Zeus!

Great serie, loving it

Just to answer tour "Funeral Bell" questions - the Death Knell or Funeral Toll usually will date back to 16th Century England - it was literally just churches ringing bells for people who died. There's a lot more to it that i don't remember but i believe there are 3 bells each with different meaning, and they were used to signify someone's end of days.

Nice was waiting for this

I saw a suggestion on a previous video to make chaos give duo boons. In terms of other mod ideas, all erebus gates or all trials would be very fun

1 month into the game and your content helped me clear my first 32 heat clear today. Thanks a lot for the helpful content and the rather Sus jokes lol

His bell is in reference to a Death Knell!! It’s a bell symbolically rung to mark someone’s death, usually in a peaceful way such as old age. It originated in England, and was useful in smaller towns to let churches/general public know when someone had passed. It used to be three bells, with the modern day one being the second of the three. There were modifiers for the deceased sex and whatnot too!

Seeing all these one god only runs makes me want to see what an only Hades Boon run would look like if Hades 2 had the big man himself giving out boons.

I always kind of associated the bell with signifying that one's time is up.

Let's go! Been waiting for this one

Beowolf is crazy with zues cast too

The only reference I know about funeral bells is from Kung Fu Hustle. Which is a great movie if haven't seen it. But yeah, I guess that's Hong Kong culture. I also know a bit about people being buried with a bell attached to them on the surface in case they were accidentally buried alive.

I recently did a twin fist run using Demeter aspect with the rush kick hammer and Arty on the special and it was a lot of fun! I'd be interested to see how you could take that idea and make it even better! ❤

the bell sound for than is a reference to the "death knell" or "funeral toll" of church bells during funerals in western culture. im sure other cultures throughout history have and still do use bells in their funeral ceremonies. hemingway was a prick but he wrote a pretty decent novel y'all might've heard of that has to do with bells tolling and whatnot.

Doing a run like this where it’s only Daedalus hammers and Hermes could be interesting

I always thought of bells as a signal of change or end of time, as well as a alert for important events, and I think this is a strong association in most cultures. When Death arrives, someones time is at its end, and his presens is a most important event. The absolute greed and absurdity coming from Unity as a company, trying to charge users retroactivly!

For the next one god, I actually had a fun run with Lucifer and Demeter attack. Just go full arctic blast damage for the whole game.

I would love just Chaos boons, I wonder how strong you’d get 😂 Although would the curses then stack?

Imagine a Lernie boss fight with a fully constituted body!

A cool idea for a boss for Hades 2 would be Lycan. He would be quick but not do much damage til you got him to half health, and then he changes into the lycanthrope for the second half.

I just had a really nice zues run today with poseidon's cast and the ares pulses with the lightning from knockaway boon and regular zues legendary. I also had poseidon attack and I think double strike and aoe strike. sadly a bad styx put me too low to clear dad, he literally had 1 hit left on him when his backswing on spin got me. I was so sad because I was so exhausted by that point, having 6 dashes using enkidu with a rare greatest reflex. I dont even know if I could have physically dashed out of that last hit.

Nice a one god run!

I like this series but i gotta say, i prefer the videos when youre playing live. I come for the run premise but i stay for the entertaining conversations with chat lol Maybe a combination if the 2 is the right balance?

You didn't take Zeus shield for the all Zeus run? Kidding of course. That would be too easy to be interesting.

Didn't watch yet, but ill say yes.. definitely top tier🙌

There a saying when the bell towels death sal rises.

You should do demeter

I would love to see a guaranteed most powerful build mod. Like, you can seed your rooms ahead of time and guarantee highest rarity. Could be fun

The Unity thing is as if i wrote a book series and Microsoft decided to charge me 10 cents per book sold just because i wrote it on their free software. I'm pretty sure you can't demand a cut of previous earnings if you provided free software for the production.

Zeus is my favorite!

I heard Lernie will be romancable in Hades 2.

Does this mod work with the Apollo, hestia and hera mod? And if so, will you try them?

It’s be funny in the sequel if they swapped the roles for theseus and the minotaur and patty and achilles. Theseus helps you out but you have to fight patty and achilles instead.

Please continue doing these one god only runs, I really love them. Also, can you make a tutorial for how to use mods, or link me one please.

Sub 10 run with achilles and crystal beam. I have sub 10 for all weapons except the spear, as I wanted to make it with the beamies… couldn’t make it happen despite many many tries😢 I even once got out of Tart with both clarity AND mirage and it wasn’t enough

DPS meter is kinda an eyesore during the dad fight, would've been nice if it only appeared after it

Absolute pipe dream mod would be a randomizer. Entirely random rooms, so you could get a tartarus room in Styx per say. Or random enemies, so room one you fight Tiny or something. I know this would be a really hard ask so this is just a dream for now

I almost beat 22 heat with all the options on the heat gauge with Eris with no duo or legendary boons. I just had hazard bombs and a Zeus attack. If I had hit Hades one more time, I would have won.

storm lightning bounces is not useless...ok it is useless for 90% of everyones experience, but it does do pretty well on god mode with max jury summons... and...thats about it. I do wish they would have it it so things could bounce between two enemies over and over. that would have made it fantstic

Dan Haelian is the biggest wad in the county. You heard it here first, chat.

I think you should do a max Dio call run, I've had it tick for 250 on daddy and I think you could get higher

One god challenge suggestion with Eris and Zeus, but it's sub 12 min and 32 heat

There's already a bunch of devs porting their projects to other platforms.

How you make sure you only get Zeus?

Hey having some trouble downloading the mod, anyone know what to do? Edit: forgot one of the files lol

Zeus was made for this in a way

Hey Danny boy, you're the biggest wad in the county ♡

ZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS

No audio???

Please do Aphrodite or artemis next!

How do you do only one god runs ?

I wonder if they haven't released the Beta of Hades 2 yet because they know a bunch of people will play it right away. As in, with Hades the beta was mostly enjoyed by people who understand what a beta is, and would be forgiving of unfinished assets or poor balance. But now a bunch of people will try and play right away, thinking it's the full game. So they're polishing it up more than they would for a beta to avoid click baiters & misinformed people to make videos like "Hades 2 is a SCAM" "GREEDY Developers push out UNFINISHED Game" & tank their reputation.

do a worst build run at 32 heat 😈

Should've used aspect of Zeus :/

the unity thing sounds terrible hopefully some one steps up so they have to take steps back

The biggest thing that I want for Hades 2 is to have more possible bosses at the end of the floors. Instead of always fighting a Fury at the end of floor 1 for instance, you would fight one of half a dozen bosses. I really like that in Binding of Isaac, and would love to see more games do the same

In response to the Unity engine fiasco, Cult of the Lamb developers tweeted out that they'll be deleting the game the day before the new pricing model comes out. Better buy it now, even if it's clearly a joke.

Just so you know the death bell comes from Scottish folk tradition where they would ring the bell to scare away evil spirits and stop them from possessing dead bodies

Hi

I almost WANT Unity to try to retroactively charge people for their successful games. The pile of lawsuits thrown at Unity and their scumbag CEO would destroy the company.

making a new policy and then demanding retroactive money is nothing short of criminal and should be shut down by the law and then they themselves should be fined for dumbassery.

no aspect of Zeus in the all Zeus run???? Boooooooo... This was so cool though, I think Zeus and Poseidon are the most busted by themselves.

No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee. -John Donne

Run invalid No use of Zeus Shield aspect.

About the Reddit "no clear screenshot" thing....once i had a $6967 obel hoarding slash run, and i thought that was interesting enough to share. yet they deleted that post in like 10 mins. that was kinda frustrating... if you cannot share some really interesting runs, then what is the point of this reddit community at the first place?

Godless run. Let's make Shattered Shackle do some work.
