Got the game a few weeks back. I'm making steady progress with my fated list of prophecies, having cleared all the legendary boons and about half of the duo boons. Can reliably clear the game on lower heat levels now. But for the life of me, I simply can't complete the "get all boons from Poseidon" prophecy. I'm specifically talking about getting the boon that is only available when you have Poseidon's cast (Rip Current). I'm wearing his keepsake, but even with using one reroll on default by now, I get offered Poseidon's call in less than 50% of all runs in the very first room. And when I finally pick it up, the option to pick Rip Current never comes up  I know it's just bad RNG, but I feel like venting. Other than that, it's a great roguelike. I really love the progression system between runs, and the characters and their interactions are outstanding. Never thought that a roguelike would be my second favorite RPG this year, after Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (I know it was released a while ago).

There simply has to be a way to reunite Achilles and Patrocles, right? Do I just need to have more conversations with Nyx? She helped me find Orpheus' and Sisyphus' contracts, but lately we mostly spoke about Persephone's return.

Captain Walker posted:Why should I care about +1 dash if my dashes don't knock away shots (Athena) or enemies (Poseidon)? If you use the mirror talent that grants you +40% damage against targets that are under two status effects, and you have only one status effect on your attack/special/cast, it can be very worth it to take Demeter's or Dionysus' dashes.

It's crazy how addictive this game is. I have all achievements but one, max ranked all my keepsakes and companions, maxed out all relations, and I'm in the process of maxing all the weapons. But there's still so much to do, like decorating the House, catching more fish to complete the Codex, caving in the face of the so called Champion of Elysium a few... dozen more times, unlocking all songs, etc. It really helps that the sessions are so short, about 40 minutes if you count talking with everybody after a run. And I can only redecorate the House of Hades when dad is in attendance, otherwise I would miss a sarcastic quip! But I'm doing one or two runs each day, and it really ads up. It's also as engaging and exciting as the first few runs, it's an amazing game.

Divine dash is the best general boon, right? Some other boons are better with certain weapons and builds, but I feel like you can never, ever go wrong with divine dash.

TACD posted:Why the gently caress are there suddenly 50 new posts in the HadeOH MY GOD gently caress yeah, I was super pleasantly surprised, too. A female PC is great, getting to meet more of the Greek gods is cool, and the combat looked just so slick. I'm very much looking forward to this. I hadn't even hoped for a sequel, but it's such a good thing that they decided to break their "no sequels" policy for Hades.

It seems like Hades might be imprisoned underground, so that's not an impediment to Zagreus helping out. We're probably starting on the surface and going down this time.

Rewatching the trailer, as a big Hades fan, I can't believe I didn't immediately pick up that Melinoë was Zag's sister, considering she barefoot and has flaming feet! At least that musical cue before she reveals her mismatched eyes was instantly recognizable.

With Apollo confirmed for Hades 2, it would be really weird if his twin sister wasn't in it also. It was already weird that Artemis came without her brother in the first game. They confirmed that at least some Olympians would return, naming Zeus as one. If their titan dad was the big antagonist, it would make sense that Zeus and Poseidon return. But that only makes Artemis' return more likely, since there should be a ton of fun interactions with her twin brother.

Kheldarn posted:So I initially wanted to get this game when it came out, but then I saw PartyBug's (abanonded) LP, and changed my mind, because it looked too much like a bullethell, which is a gamestyle I don't enjoy, so I changed my mind. Divine Dash is far and away the best beginner boon. You're generally dashing a lot, and being immune while dashing means you get far less punished for sloppy play. If you have found any nectar, you can gift it to characters. This includes Olympians! But you must gift the nectar to the god before you talk to them to accept their boon. The Olympians give you a keepsake like every other character, but the keepsakes are all the same. They improve the rarity of the god's boon by a scaling percentage depending on the keepsake's level, and they guarantee that the next god you meet will match the keepsake you wear. So if you wear Athena's keepsake, you're guaranteed to meet Athena and have a high chance to get Divine Dash. And as I said, Divine Dash makes the game significantly easier to learn.

I only got into Hades after it was already out, and I think ideally I'll wait for the full version of Hades 2, as well. But I fear I don't have the willpower to resist jumping into EA...

Zagreus sounds really good, it's crazy that Darren Korb was just the placeholder voice actor. No wonder they decided to go with him in the end. I'm super excited to try out new weapons in Hades 2. I hope supergiant go crazy again like they did with the Adamant Rail.

Sydin posted:Could be reading too much into it but I think an interesting interpretation of why Hecate won't let Nemesis go after Chronus is that she knows Nem's heart would never really be in it (or that she might even flip sides) because she's the god of vengeance but isn't fully bought in on the idea that Chronus deserves death for his actions. Once you have a decent number of hearts with Nemesis she can have a conversation with Mel where she flat out says things were better for mortals back in Chronus' golden age than they were under the arbitrary rule of the Olympians, and that maybe what Chronus is doing is in fact the appropriate vengeance the gods deserve for what they did first to their parents, then mortals. And she might have a point, Demeter just deciding to plunge the world into endless winter because she blamed mortals for her daughter's disappearance certainly doesn't paint the gods in the best light. And Zeus not clearing up the issue shows he doesn't care about mortals, either. I don't know any stories about how life was for mortals under Kronos, was that really described as a golden age? Of course, game-Chronos isn't doing himself any favors by all the poo poo he pulls. Mortal existence obviously sucks a lot more right now than before Chronos' return, in large part because of decisions Chronos made.

The one Olympian I'm sad the most about missing is Athena, I always liked her as a character and boon giver. I guess Hestia's sprint is the most similar to divine dash. It makes you immune to most projectiles, and "reflects" damage back to their casters. But it's not quite the same. Divine dash allowed for sloppy gameplay in a way Hestia's sprint most certainly doesn't. I think I understand why they took out the much greater protection Athena's boons offered, since you could just drop damaging casts forever while hiding behind the i-frames granted by Athena's boons.
