Yeah the boar was by far the hardest fight I had in that game. Those statues that come to life in the DLC can get you if you're not careful too.

But you get a new cool, all-female sailor crew! And the songs all have male and female variants to reflect what gender your crew is, which is lowkey one of my favorite things about Odyssey.

Easily the hardest fight in my play through so far

I figured the giant fartpig was probably resistant to poison. I feel like repeated assassination spear strikes are the fastest/safest bet against animals so I just did those while keeping it consistently on fire.

Melee is always an option. Every guide I looked at screamed that you'd want to go max hunter against Medusa. I killed her with a mace instead.

Fenyx seems like all the good bits of Zelda and AC mushed together. My fav bit so far has been Fenyx victoriously smashing a chest with her right hand, doing absolutely nothing but injuring herself, then quietly flipping it open with only the required effort with the other hand.

The comedy is on point in Fenyx Rising. I like early in Athena's zone where she loses patience with Fenyx's fawning and just bursts out with ]"GO... DO HERO THINGS! Learn hero lessons!" Then the mission title is just Do Hero Things Also Haephestus is the best boi  The sidequest mythology references are also cool, like the Odysseus challenge harkening to the end of the Odyssey where to prove who he is he fires an arrow through a bunch of axe handles BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 23:46 on Jan 8, 2021 |

I like that the Gods in Fenyx Rising all react differently to being robbed of their essences - Aphrodite knows who she used to be and is happy enough not being that person anymore, doing everything she can to avoid uniting with her Essence and becoming a gossipy nightmare again, considering her entire existence being a waste of her immortality gossiping about the other Gods. On the other hand, Haephestus finds bliss in his ignorance - he has no idea who he used to be and in his head he's just an artist, however his hands know and abandon the rest of him. Then you have Athena and Ares, Athena being Terrified and flailing about because she doesn't know what to do anymore and can't handle that, so is grasping at straws trying to put together some semblance of a plan. and Ares being completely frozen with fear in contrast, not wanting to leave the safety of his farm. for context: I've finished Aphrodite's story stuff and I'm halfway through Athena's. I have only met the other two guys, haven't even started their quests properly yet. BioEnchanted has a new favorite as of 06:56 on Jan 9, 2021 |

One thing I like about Odyssey is that it manages to nail that sense of historic wonder that the games with Ezio managed, but the series struggled with ever since. Maybe it's because the characters get actual time to breath, or maybe it's just because I'm a huge need for classic history, but attending an Athenian symposium during the city's golden age is exactly as cool as it sounds. And then you help out Euripides by getting Aristophanes piss drunk, after the latter embarrassed the former so hard he's now sitting out the party from the kitchen. And everybody wonders who the gently caress decided to invite Socrates, as he goes around making guests incredibly uncomfortable by being THAT guy at the party.

Some Cultists are necessarily gated away by the plot but most you can find on your own if you have a guide or just know where to look. Sometimes there are long quest chains that you can bypass entirely just by shanking the right dude.

Pig 2 I killed mostly through stacking hunter damage and poisoning/lighting on fire. It took a while to get him but it wasn't too bad that way. Just had to plan ahead to keep the poison he drops from taking over the field Pig 1 was way more annoying to me because I didn't have a good plan and I kept getting comboed out of the game by pig chaining The easiest one was definitely the giant deer!

Just part of the #misthioslife I guess Yeah, I just randomly walked in to Deianeira, then I learned that there's an entire chain of quests that I bypassed. There was also times that I killed a person and got a notification that I had just finished a quest without knowing it. I liked that the explanation given was that Kassandra was feeling a bit bloodthirsty and now she could collect the rewards. exquisite tea posted:Some Cultists are necessarily gated away by the plot but most you can find on your own if you have a guide or just know where to look.

I had pretty much killed off every cultists except for the plot related ones by the time I was halfway through the game. Little things in the Last of Us Part Deux: There's no fall damage which is the most annoying kind of damage. There's no bullet sponges in the game. Not even the armored ones. On the downside this means that you also can't take that many bullets. I'm sorry Bear. Alhazred has a new favorite as of 15:21 on Jan 9, 2021 |

I always like when a mostly comedic game allows certain things to have some weight, like Immortals: Fenyx Rising's treatment (game spanning sidequest spoilers) of Daedelus - you get some very sombre voice recordings as you solve his puzzles and explore his creation and the reasons why he undertook it, and it's a very sad but sweet motivation where he's just hoping the Gods will give him back his lost son, and then at the end of the sidequest Zeus shits all over the tone with the revelation of a bad pun that ended his story abruptly. It's kind of funny, but also puts you in an interesting mindset of "gently caress you Zeus. seriously?"

I'll probably bail on it for now. I hit that point common to open world games where I'm 60 hours in, finished the main plot and rounded up the rest of the cultists, and I think I'm just done. Loved it, will play it again, but I have no particular interest in wandering around ticking stuff off the list.
