Hades - Escaping Hell - first video game to win a Hugo Award!

Someone that popped up on Twitter. Probably boosted by Jen Zee or someone else at Supergiant.

This is the quickest Hades has gone from 40% to beaten for me:

Felt kind of bad for Hades there as I had Demetar's, Poseidon's and Zeus's blessings :lol:

I love it when you use either Zeus or Poseidon's calls and Hades chirps in with telling them to butt out.

Above win was 8 heat. Bumped it down to 6 for next run as I'd jumped from 5 to 8. Got an excellent run going, pretty much identical load out to previous run, and then strawberry floated up by getting beaten by a scrub in an *optional* satyr tunnel run. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUU.

Hah that was brutal!

I even had health regen going :cry:

"Hmm. HP seems a bit on the low si-" *sent down the river by mine + laser + poison combo* It was a scrub ffa. Gonna sting a while, that :lol:

6 heat beaten. Love that feeling when you go into boss fights knowing you've got their number :msgreen:

One of the best duo boons has to be -10% dmg against bosses. Not for the effect but bc it's such an easy one to sacrifice for big money before the start of the tunnels run :lol:

Speaking of big money, I'm shocked they haven't nerfed some of the prices at that final shop

I hate Poseidon almost as much as I crush on Nyx.

On to 9 heat. And I did really well beating 8 because the sack was in the final satyr tunnel.

Meanwhile I still haven't managed to escape once :fp:

How many attempts?

I beat it loads of times on PC, but it still took me 10s of runs (somewhere between 40-50, I think) to escape first time on PS. I'm at 8 escapes. The first one is always hardest. Gets easier as you unlock more mirror stuff, and gain more of the gifts from characters.

Getting killed by scrubs in this really stings like a bastard :lol:

Two words.

God Mode.

Seriously, I’d consider turning it on and just see how you fare with it, I don’t think I’d have actually got past the end of Elysium if I’d not eventually caved and turned it on. It definitely feels like a difficulty mode done right in my opinion, only thing that would make it even better is if on a successful escape it reduced its effectiveness by 2% rather than the damage reduction just stacking whenever you fail an attempt (which I did, a lot :lol:

).

Finally bested Heat 9 after three fails.

strawberry floating. Satyrs.

Sick of 'em.

I just happened to walk past the bat cage and...

So cool.

Gonna bump things down multiple notches and go with spear for the next few runs.

And I've unlocked 2 of the secret aspects.

Beat the game with Stygian for the first time :lol:

40 hours in.

I think I only ever used the gun once and hated it :lol:

ai only ever cleared it with the Shield of Chaos, got close with the sword and bow but never escaped.

Spear was my best run. Got close to the end of the second phase with that one.

Sometimes you just need the right Daedalus upgrades. Spread attack + auto hit = spear easy mode.

I had brilliantly spammy upgrades yesterday for the Stygian. (Lunge + double hit w/ special.)

Got back into this recently and got a new PB of 16:23.
Going to try and get sub 20 with all of the weapons. Just did the adament rail in 17:40 and also up to a 5 streak. Was soo close to losing it!! Both hit at the same time and it looked like a double KO but I survived with 11 health:

Edit: Just did another run and got new PB 16:14 with the bow. 6 streak!

I am so close to getting Nyx and Chaos to reunite, but getting all that darkness is gonna be a pain. I think after that I'll see what's left of Achilies and Patroclus storyline and then I'm done.
