    If you look at the plants in your inventory it says what they can be used for and deathcap just says it can be sold to the broker for bones if you want to confirm it for yourself.
    Also this run was super fun to watch. The Charon axe feels absolutely broken. I had a very similar run recently except I had the heroic Apollo cast and it just melted everything.

    The last arcana card which need no more than 3 active cards to be awaken doesn't take into consideration those that cost 0, so by activating as much 0 card with 3 other cards, you can probably get all your arcana cards activated after a few bosses (considering arcana level ups and circe keepsake)

    Kings Ransom said increase each of your Zeus boons by +2 per hera boon- so if you have 3 Zeus and 3 Hera boons, for example, it should give up the 3 Hera boons to increase the levels of all your Zeus boons by 6.

    I'm pretty sure that the Bath Salts might be a higher tier gift for those that you can't give nectar to, just based off of common game mechanics. This might be what you need for Hypnos, especially due to some of the IRL uses of bath salts.

    I do think the wording implies that the keepsake does not Work as a workaround. The keepsake says "activate arcana card" and the fear modifier says it cancels the benefit. The card would get activated by the keepsake, but the effect would be negated.

    I was originally under the assumption you'd only be able to get one familiar so was scared when you chose the frog so quickly XD though it makes sense you'd be allowed more and swap between them similar to the weapons. I'm now curious just how difficult it is to get another scroll or whatever it was that allows you to get the cat or doggo since it has already been a while. Hadn't heard much talk about familiars (in game) for a while until this mention of Animal Familiar buff was shown.

    Crystal figurine is for the whole run. Next upgrade activates it at rare, then at epic.
    The chaos charm is a great starting one because you can get epic chaos boon permanently.
    I had a crystal figurine run where i got the bottom right arcana that gives you 5 more arcanas per boss (upgraded) ended up with +11 arcanas for the Chronos fight.

    • @dodang_9147
      @dodang_9147 Před měsícem

      generally, it is better start off with one of god boons. With axe, i like starting with demetry, her ice attack is really good for clearing room safely. axe has low attackspeed so the freeze has good synergy, appolo is also choice. Axe has variation based off hammer upgrades. Dagger is best to run Poseidon then Zeus since that weapon is all about hit-on's either with dagger throw or melee. The 2 sticks should run hera. Her mana boon is really strong because the entire strategy of the stick is to build like 300 max mana and then use Hera's mana boon to keep refreshing your mana pool for primary attack. Skull wants Hephaestus to proc all of the burst damages then get any of those mana boons. The staff is best with aphrodite . she has this boon where all health sources are increased in value. it is super broken because the staff arm gives you hp when your hp is below 50%. it is basically unlimited lifesteal. if you have 300 hp. when you fall to 150 hp, you can just keep regaining hp over and over and it has crazy synergy with stuff like Zeus feedback, Daze debuff and Hephaestus msns boon & weakened. full-tank staff just makes chronos super easy.

    I've found that the axe parry is more effective on singular big hits, and if you use it akin to the dash, but it's definitely finicky and hard to use consistently. Like, I've used it to block Chronos swinging at me before, which is wild. It works even if you don't start channeling, which I think is more effective if you actually want to defend yourself?
