#HadesII #Part2 - Hry
Imagine if narcissus never gets a face and is actually just a generic faceless robed guy who thinks hes irresistible
That would be kinda Peak
Given that his portrait is a "generic faceless robed guy", but in *FANCY* robe, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the final design :P
It is fitting that the most handsome man is actually permanently obscured. All the rumours about him are just based on peoples imagination that went out of control
If he does get a real portrait I expect him to look something like Duke Nukem. Just the epitome of someone in love with themself. Hell, he even SOUNDS like some narcissistic douchebag videogame protagonist from the 90s, at least to me.
The reason zone 3 was smacking you as hard as it was, was because Eris' 'blessing' was multiplying enemy damage. The plot insists you don't get too far too soon, which. I can't say I adore, but it's certainly bragging rights that you cleared a whole zone with it on ya!
that is a wild choice lol
@@Retromation it certainly sets the mood for eris being a pizzashit when you interact with them more down the line: but that's for you to learn about later ;p
@@princequincy5421 Hey, Eris is a very nice lady, you take that back! Strife is vital in order to foster growth!
@@LordDragox412I'll make sure to tell my dying plants this next time I forget to water them.
@@2d20kobolds3 Most plants can recover from short-term drought, but they can't recover from overwatering! And for plant stalks and stems to be strong, they need wind. So, as you can see, strife is important even in plant life. Eris is so nice. Achilles is just salty she started the Trojan War where he took a big L. Rude dude.
The Scylla and Sirens audio is so cool how it changes
That fight against the sirens with no death defy and low max health was insane. I died so many more times on that with more health and death defies.
I love details in games like when you beat the guitarist and drummer those tracks drop out
Scylla "I'm gonna be a star!" literally. A star in the constellation Cetus, that's brighter than the Sun. Which is situated with a number of other oceanic constellations referred to as "The Sea." Cheeky little detail there :))
Hot take, the blessing of strife is probably a good thing overall. I mean half of the Hades experience is the unique dialogs you have with the npcs. It'd be a shame if you missed out on that just because youre a god gamer lol. That said, it's not a hard break either so if you're really good you get to push on with an increased chalange to match. I guess what I'm getting at is, I think this is probably the best choice for what they want to do.
Oceanus is the second area of the game. In myth, it's the name of a titan, son of Uranus and Gaia; but it's also portrayed as a great world-encircling river. This river lies near Tartarus, Elysium or the House of Hades (depends on the source).
It seems the part of Oceanus we see in-game was properly acomodated to be some sort of sewage or spring
Erebus is the same, a god made into an area.
Hades is an area too.
@@Cosper79Same with tartarus too
Erebus seems to be the name of the area surrounding the very outskirts of the underworld region as there are places called Erebus located in both Hades 1 and 2, its still part of the underworld but is its own area, it is also likely a part of the god Erebus which is darkness incarnate, brother of nyx. Oceanus is a region of the underworld that also meets with the deepest parts of the sea, it belongs to Hades more so as Poseidon does not want anything to do with it, it is otherwise known as the Ancient Cistern, it is likely the bronze and lime encrusted remains of the Titian Oceanus of which the region is named after. According to Narcissus once chronos took over he took the chance at finding a more secluded place that he swam there from Asphodel
In zone 3 (Mourning Fields) follow the golden leaves, it should lead you to a dead tree, press Interact to gain a compass that will show you to the required room rewards (in gold) and optional rewards (in silver).
trying to not look at any Hades II content until it comes out but retros just too entertaining 😭😭
As much as I respect it, please do realize it'll probably be around a whole year of trying to avoid every single spoiler, so if that's not worth it you can always give in to temptation
@@Nikowo1610 Why would it take a year?
Just buy it now and start playing. :) They'll keep the saves working all through EA and into release.
@@willymammoth539 Well it's still the early access, the full game will take quite a bit to be complete still
"this has gotta be the last zone in the early access" Its not even the last set of zones/campaign in the early access lol
Ooooooooof, that is brutal to hear. This run was already feeling a bit long. Hopefully you mean alternate paths.
Lets say things are only going down for the moment :)
@Retromation if it makes you feel any better, the zone behind Cerberus has, ways, to cut to the meat and potatoes of the matter, if you catch my drift
@@RetromationTo be fair, there is a funny interaction that I know of but I'll let you find out exactly what. Pretty fitting for what triggers it though.
These guys do such good games! The fact that the music on the Sirens fight goes with which one of them is up or down is a small yet huge detail. Love it 🥰
With every new rogue-like I can always look to retro for the gameplay. Great job with what you’re doing and can’t wait for more Hades II content!
Played the crap out of the game yesterday still havnt gotten past the act 3 boss, but the Scylla fight is by far my favorite, the music and fight is awesome.
The act 3 boss is a real juggernaut, especially punishing for melee builds.
I saw you could check the trees in the middle of the areas, in zone 3, surrounded by golden leaves, not the "next location" trees. Maybe you could give them a look? It kept coming up with E to check whenever you got close to one.
Damn, what did Chronos do to poor Cerberus. Death to Chronos indeed.
2:49 When you freeze an enemy they become immune to any further freezing for a period of time. The freeze bar above their head is a countdown to when they'll lose their immunity and you can freeze them again. There's at least one boon that lets you slightly cheat this though.
34:15 You got hit TWICE, actually. Soing way better than me, though. 😅
I think an underrated synergy you opened up before the cerberus fight is when you increased the magic cost of your omega attack. It actually helped create more heartthrobs when you spend 30, along with the duo boon got it to where you were surrounded by the things and could tank them into the boss.
I wonder if you could prestack them before a boss fight? I didn’t pay attention to see if you carry them into the next room.
When I got there I had a chaos debuff that primed my mana, and the Zeus buff that zaps everything every 5 sec. It actually made the wave fights before cerberus kind of free even tho it took forever.
Then Cerberus bit my pretty little head of.
"This has got to be the last zone in the early access, yeah?"
You would think.....
From playing the game to watching your run, I realised that they always tend to give you apollo demeter and poseidon just so you can have the Charon interaction, kinda funny
Man do i love me a boss that sings their own boss theme. Gotta be my favorite genders.
... I really hope you mean "GENRES", and not "genders"... very different things :P
@@Atlas_Redux Nah they meant "genders" it's a meme.
Fortissimole in Crypt of the Necrodancer
35:56 This was my first thought too. The vastness reminded me of Diablo
The boss summoning emergency health packs was in fact, pretty funny.
The Strife blessing is increase 20% damage received every encounter. i wonder is this a early access thing to prevent us from clearing the game too quickly, or is it to make sure the player die a few times so the plot is not too messed up.
The second one. Eris is very nice and people don't appreciate her enough. She's just there to help. After all, people grow through strife!
@@LordDragox412eris on her computer typing this in a rage
It is odd that instead of making that new 4 way attack into a + (cross with one end pointing forwards towards the mouse) they turned it into an X which accounts for why one of the path's line doesn't line up with the mouse? Maybe it's this way to balance the 50% dmg buff though a lower dmg bonus would be better to allow for an + pattern that more consistently hits.
So happy this is out and you are doing a series on it.
Pretty good first attempt on the third boss as well. I bet you will get them next time. They dont call you Reto the God for nothing.
Gimme moar!!!!! 😁 I think this will be a humorous series to watch you go through
What a great band name.. Scylla and the Sirens ❤
didnt think the demeter legendary would work on bosses but it does
1:04:00 There are at least 4 more Arcana Cards, seeing as Row 1 currently stops at Nr4, while Row 2 starts with Nr6.
I wonder what else there is....
the last area has a cauldron effect that reveals the major and minor rewards
The shadow cloud monster in the third zone is based off of a rat king.
I have about 30 hours into this game right now and I never thought about how useful the omega attack life drain would be. Granted I mostly use the sister blades, but still.
Arachne not as happy as she puts on. Hope there's a redemption arc there.
Please give us more
Theres an icon i see on the top right when you go to another room, i think thats curse she puts on you
Hades 1 = alright, I can do this.
Hades 2 = The f*** did I get hit by?
More please 🙂
Let's go
The beast reminded me of kitava from poe
Come to the Crossroads. Death to Chronos!
Narcissus sounds like Nicholas Cage.
does anyone know who made Scylla's theme? It vaguely reminds me of the LoR ost so I got curious
Arlecchino, my beloved
A quick double check cyz I've seen a bunch struggling with aiming. But did you tick off aim assist? It's on by default regardless if you're using controller or M&KB.
Does anyone else think scyla's theme sounds similar to "matricide" from TBOIR's soundtrack?
More more more
3rd zone kinda looks similar to elysium
And today we saw that Retro has zero skill on mapping the zone mentally hahaha
I
LOVE
SCYLLA
Would drown if she was real
---Hades 2---
Even godlier
A lot of people like the Sirens song because it changes, but came into it thinking about specifically how all the bosses in Transistor work, with one of the most notable being Sybil's fight with In Circles morphing into _n C_rcl_s... That does the concept *amazingly* and varies based on Red's health and the stage of the fight.
I'm... A little disappointed but it's still good!
So... any reason why your playlist is all out of order?
Algorithm comment cuz I want more people to find Reto
I hate this open area, it's hurting my head
I really hope something changes with the weapons. Imo they are just boring and not impactful compared to like Hades 1. When you get the upgrades on the first it fundamentally changed the playstyle. On this on its just meh and boring..
