Wait, the guy voicing Zagreus composed basically all the amazing soundtrack in this game? My mind is blown!

Yeah Darren Korb is the best, he's soundtracked all of Supergiant's games. He voiced Zag as a placeholder early in development and obviously nailed it so they kept him on. He also provided Orpheus' singing voice, and Skelly.

I like the spear (Brusher's Pike was also one of my favourites in Bastion) but one thing to note is that the range on the standard attack is longer than you might expect and getting used to that means standing further away from enemies which means taking less damage. If you're getting right up close like you're using the sword or the fists you're probably doing it wrong.

For me it feels like a precision weapon (think bow) rather than a mashing weapon. Play accordingly.

The real pro strategy is to make that particular escape your 32 heat run.

Oh that's sneaky. Does it count? Wouldn't you need to already have done the first two statues? In fact, isn't the Pact only unlocked after ten wins?

I remember that when I got my tenth successful run I was annoyed because it would have been the first one with a new weapon (probably the Rail) and I didn't get the prophecy credit.

Iirc the pact is after one successful run, it’s been a hot minute since ive done a non-Hell run but it’d be weird to not have it unlocked after that since you have the chance of wasted runs if you’d prefer sticking to the same weapons

Oh you're probably right actually. Makes more narrative sense for it to be part of the "testing defences" but yeah mechanically you'd need it before that to avoid wasted runs as you said.

Had a run yesterday with Hera Bow, Aphrodite Cast at level 9, Artemis and Hermes legendary boons so I was just dumping five bloodstone into every shot for absolutely stupid damage. Also had a Chaos boon that boosted cast damage; I think the only other major improvement could have been getting Exit Wounds. Oh, and I got the hammer that let's you fire with just a tap (flurry fire?) so it was all happening at max speed as well.

Going to be waiting for the (eventual, probable) Switch release and trying to remain un-spoiled on things until then

So probably ought to stop reading this thread soon!
