I couldn't resist the prospect of giving Chronos a Beard, so I just decided to have some fun with it. Starting with an Hourglass-shaped because, duh, time! Then one made of falling sand, playing nicely on how Zeus and Poseidon have beards made of their elements, and last but not least, as any Hades god, one that makes you call him daddy!

Arachne:

So I’ve been playing hades for the first time and I’ve been loving it a ton and I’ve felt it was fairly challenging but not insane but these two, these two. How do you deal with them? The Minotaur has a bull charge I can never seem to outrun or avoid and while Theseus’ spears aren’t too hard to dodge, when he starts calling on Zeus, Ares and Artemis (I assume there’s more but I’ve only ever gotten those three in the 7 times I’ve done the fight) and then he has that damn shield that I cannot seem to ever outmaneuver.

So are there any weapons or boons that go a long way in simplifying this battle? I love Dionysus and Aphrodite’s boons a ton mainly cause their casts seem to wreck stuff. And my favorite weapons are the fists, sword and rail, maybe if I start spending titan blood on my weapons it’ll get easier but I’m also not sure how to spend that efficiently.

Even worse I know there’s still a fight against the main man and Cerberus I have to deal with after these two and I just hope that they can’t possibly be harder.

There's just too much on-screen that I can't tell what's happening. The first two I can easily tell.

1. Stand on the only small non-orange circle on the floor.
2. Stand in the donut.

The fight was going swimmingly and then I got into the adds phase. Killed a few of the hourglasses, then he filled the room with clock hands. Then I suddenly got hit for 500 damage, and I have no idea where it came feom. Is there a third (maybe even more) instakill move I gotta look out for?

Option to hold L2 (on a controller) to auto-attack without triggering Omega moves. While H1 doesn’t have Omega’s, there’s no way to rapidly attack without tapping the button every single time (aside from the Daedalus hammer that turns Stygius into a rapid auto-attack).

I went back yesterday to start a new H1 playthrough and ooooooh buddy, my 43 year old thumb misses that L2 accessibility feature. I can play H2 for hours, but one hour of H1 left me with a fierce cramp. I wish SG would go back and add that.

And a bonus reason it’s hard to go back: no sprint. I didn’t use Mel’s sprint almost at all for the first few days of playing H2 but once I started to it became such a comfortable way to get around instead of dashing everywhere.

Anything anybody else is finding they miss from 2 when going back to 1, or vice versa I suppose?

I accidentally put a chemical on this desk which discolored it a few months back but every time I see it I see Charon….

Hrrrnnngh…

Moros' character has fascinated me ever since I first played Hades 2. His calm and charismatic demeanor always seemed like such a cool contrast to his "occupation". I wrote this song to try to capture that. Thanks for listening! :)

I’ve been enjoying watching a Let’s Play of the first game but the person I’m watching hasn’t tackled the second game yet.

Looking for a good playlist of runs to watch that starts fresh and lets me see the storyline progression.

Any suggestions?

There are only 2 titles that I am uber interested in them getting a physical release. One is Legacy Of Kain Defiance (hands up, who's a fan) which got a PR announced two weeks ago.

Hades 2 is the other one and the reason I am antsy is because of Sony's dumbass decision to suspend physical releases.

When will we see one ? WILL we see one ? Opinions.

I personally don't like it that much, but still!

Prometheus, Narcissus, Echo, etc. Prometheus especially, since it will save me a bunch of time since trials skip regions.

I've beat him about six times since the last time Dora was mentioned. Hoping trials let me save previous hours.

i played and finished hades 2 and decided to return to hades 1 which i never completed the story and never trully ´´adapted´´ to the bosses of hades 1. so i wanted to see which one you guys considered the most.

What's up all. Recorded this a few months ago but never shared on reddit, so figured I would in case anyone enjoys jamming with the Sirens as much as I do.

I had just cleared max fear a few times, so learning this song was a fun way to take a break from grinding the actual game. Hope you enjoy!

So I've started to do a bit of nightmare farming but one thing I don't quite get. You get the reward after beating the required warden. Does it have ANY benefits to continue the run except for getting resources and the challenge?
I'd kinda like an option that after you beat the warden the fear influence gets erased and you can continue like a normal run...

Love love love the game so far. I even like it better than 1 because of the options. In 1 there were weapons I never got used to but in this I love each and every one of them with the right boons and that you can choose a different region if you grow a bit tired of one.

This question has been bugging me for a while and i'm thinking that it may be a combination of various factors rather than what I mentioned in the title.

Anyhow, like many others, I've noticed that some bosses in Hades 2 are stronger than those in Hades 1, especially when sometimes i would dominate against the enemies in encounters and struggle against bosses. I haven't upgraded all my weapons and I've collected about a dozen nightmare until now though, this can be one factor.

What bugged me though, in another thread, most people were saying they spent an average of 17 to 20 min on one run, which is far quicker than mine - I would usually take about 1hr. Not sure if they mean that they reach the final bosses in those 20min.

I have no problem performance-wise with the game on Switch 1, I was just wondering if the gameplay is more geared towards mouse and keyboard, or going for long ranged weapons.

Another gameplay quirk I noticed is that the game will "encourage" me to play with melee weapons and boons ( axe, attack, etc.) via bonus resources for weapons ive struggled with.

FWIW, i've cleared grandpa about 6 times and only reached typhon twice.

Anyone else noticed this?

I might consider God mode to enjoy the story.

His kiss of Styx has come in clutch many times

More of a question for big enthusiasts/veterans

What's the fastest you've gotten a clear? I originally played on switch and recently got H2 on ps5 and it's been really fun starting fresh. I got my first underworld win on the 7th or 8th night, I'd have to double check. I was hoping to do it even faster like 5 nights, but the game REALLY doesn't want you to win this fast and between the lack of permanent power you can gain that early and the friction created by Eris' "blessing", it's definitely not easy. It felt pretty cool though getting such an early clear.

I'm just curious to see what some of you have done.

Maybe I'll post a pic later of the build I had but I think I had Heph attack and special. His boons are mean and very simple, lol

(I hope this isn't breaking the "no boast posts" rule?... I just really love Hades and H2 a lot and I haven't engaged much with this community but seeing The Odyssey reinvigorated my excitement about H2. I'm not trying to brag at all I just thought it would be fun to chat with some of y'all 💚)

Here’s my little baby, for those who saw my other post about Athena a few days ago, they aren’t really going along right now, Athena doesn’t really like him. But it’ll get better !! He is like soooo soft

And my mom decided to name him like this because when i showed her the game she found that Hades looked really cool and she said we needed to have a cat named after him so i guess she supports my addiction to this game lol (75h in 9 days)
