Damn. I've only beaten him once and lost twice (one being a rail run where I really wasn't set up for quick/high damage output and only managed like one kill
). The last encounter we actually tied which was neat.
My run after my above victory I almost beat too. Haven't yet taken any heat as I think I'll only do that with weapons I've already cleared a run with (which makes sense, rewards wise). I was using the bow and got to
Hade's second stage, but got a little cocky in taking damage and my build was relying on crits firing on a 15% chance, so a bad run of luck at the end saw me done. It's the first time I've absolutely destroyed
Asterius and Theseus though and it felt very satisfying.
