Only 2 death defiances? You can get 5 brah. 3 from altar of ashes, 1 from familiar, and 1 from the Skelly keepsake.

Lol I've just beat the Chronos for the first time, took a cigarette with the insane heartbeat and a new playthrough from Asmon comes out. Runs never stop haha
the Torches are actually really good, but you have to channel long enough with them to hit harder, but the build requirements for them are pretty specific and pretty niche
I dont know if they meant for it - but Hestia's boon that lets you sprint through projectiles is absolutely broken in almost all fights from what I can tell. I think Im 7 for 7 on chronos/eris fights (2 kills on chronos) - all of them I was using that boon, and/or the one with apollo that lets you resist instances of dmg.
I didnt "limittest" it yet, because it says it blocks "most" projectiles. I rly dislike that wording btw. Be clear about it and if you want some projectiles to go through have clear visualization like mark it like a "major projectile", because there are a lot that you get hit by. Ive put that in the discord, Ill see where we go in general.
The sister blades are the most OP right now, they will get nerfed, was so easy to kill chronos abusing those. Than's Axe is also insanely OP with its insanely high crit chance. But hitting for 2-3k with 1 hit on daggers is broken.
All my kills are with Artemis blades. Sometimes I don't even realize what killed Chronos because last second I checked brother still had 1/8th health :D
The omega special also stacks! That is the key point, you can do i more than once and it hads more flames basically doubling the DPS. He is just not using it correctly lol
Went though the two stages of grief axe play ending at 2:27:56 First in area one "the Axe is the best" and once you reach later in you see why the slower less control can mean "The axe is the worst. It can be good with the right boons though. Like if I was playing that I'd have started with the charged special with blitz to soften them up and then gone in with the whirlwind to proc that blitz, oh and if your ever being chased use cast, don't need to charge it even. The reason some of the enemies like the banshee in the first area and the yellow guys with horns chase you is to make you need to use cast to control them.
i have never seen someone miss so much shit in a game. Ungodly amount of loot left behind and i'm pretty sure he completely forgot Nemesis exists. Also forgets half his attacks exist for that matter. Why bother to play if your not going to even try?

"So mote it be" A term used by operative and speculative Freemasons and also by Rosicrucian mystics and neopagans. The origin of the phrase comes from the oldest know piece of masonic evidence known as the "halliwell" or the "regius manuscript" a large poem dating back to 1390 with the final words in old English saying, "Amen! amen! so mot hyt be!

How did this dude put over 50 hours into the first Hades then turn around and play this like it's his first video game. Asmon playing games other than WoW makes him look like a gaming journalist.
Mel's dash is longer and has more s, but she can't dash 2 times in a row like Zagreus. She has the sprint instead, which you do by holding down dash after initiating a normal dash - the sprint is SUPER strong and entire boss killing builds can be built around it. A couple of movespeed boons mean you can zip around at lightning speed while shitting damage everywhere.
Dashing feels stiff bc the axe has more readying time after strikes. She literally has an aspect that counters this and makes the axe as good as regular weapon swings
How Mel dash and sprint is apparently a focus for Supergiant right now. She is definitely intended to have different feeling than Zag though, so her dash and sprint will always be different. But they promised to make it better for next patch
It’s fine to call out the woke stuff while also acknowledging the good gameplay one doesn’t cancel out the other and it’s stupid to act like just because the gameplay is good the woke stuff isn’t bad.
@@badlabs1 personally I think it’s justified. It’s a classic case of rules for thee but not for me. The only reason they can get away with it is because these are white gods but if these were black or Asian characters the shit storm would have been much more immense. Either way I think it’s fair to call it out without letting it blind your judgement on the gameplay and other story elements.
Imho, the game is harder than the first one, more enemies, more shields later on etc. and some heat events are reall bullshit ^^ (looking at you +300% dmg on first hit/encounter)
do you not know of hades three children? its zagreus, melinoe and one other sister. its not they randomly put a chick in it, its more they just moved on and have the next of hades kin be a playable character
@@lotheravanti4295 Definitely brainrotted, you are that is...The entire game is about the daughter taking revenge for having lost her entire family to Chronos and the entire reason why she wants to kill him is so she can have her traditional family back. Doesn't seem very woke for me.
EVery build is "GOOD" but Umbra Flame sucks so hard vs ALL OTHER options. I dont know why its should need "Poseidon" to work, it means it sucks to only want one God to work, but not others.
I got my first ever clear with the torches. Didn't even use poseidon. You just stay out of range of enemies and save dash for projectiles and cast on mobile enemies. Specifically, I used the spider keepsake through the first area to stack armor, Hestia boon to regen magick, and Apollo boon to make attacks bigger, combined with hammer that makes the attack split after hitting the first target. Any magick regen makes it work, but Hestia is best imo because you're not going to get hit with this play style so you don't need health, and the armor stacking is the safeguard.
I think what i dislike about how Asmon plays is most of the time he over-commits to his build. When he commits to something, nothing else exists. When he RMB build, he doesnt use anything else. Like the Axe, he dont use F, Q or RMB for that matter.
There are two "Final Bosses" so far. There's Chronos, the main story Boss, and then there's the unfinished Surface/Olympus boss atm, Eris (she isn't the final-final on the surface boss, but the game's surface area is locked at her atm as the final fight in the surface). Though there could be a lot more.
@@KingJerbear Erm, it's kinda clear that Chronos is the main story boss (bro's even advertised as the main villain since freaking last year, the very first trailer even emphasizes that). But sorry on the Eris part 😂 (but she ain't the final, fr, but you have to consider that leakers exist man, eventually it will jump right out of nowhere).
For me, melee just feels so horrible to play in Hades 2. Too much risk, too little reward compared to just using omega casts from far away which can do even more dmg anw
Dont agree, aphrodite raw damage boosts for specials and attacks are insane, demeter is good cc with freeze and can buff your aphrodite omega attacks even more. Apollo is just good utility and can give you double attacks for basic attacks, hepheatus is for durability, don't really like his attack/special boons tho
“a game is not good because it is woke, and game is not bad because it is woke. as long as the gameplay is good” -Asmongold 2023 i personally dont agree with their race change, hestia depiction, asian hermes, etc BUT i dont care as long as the gameplay is good. At a certain point I just accept some people just dont share my view and ideology. as long as the quality of it is good (“quality” here means if in a “game” its the gameplay, if in a “movie” its the “story”, etc), then i dont care if its woke.
and for people that say “well asmon shits on cleopatra race swap without watching the movie” well. the “quality” of a “documentary” isnt in “writing” but in “accuracy”. thats why it deserves to be shit on. Hades on the other hand is a Fanfic of greek myth. both Hades 1 and 2. its not like in the real myth theres a story where Zagreus try to escape from tartarus all the way to surface 10 times to bring back his mother. its not like theres a story where Chronos is revived and sit on Hades’s throne in greek mythology. its a fanfic so be free and do whatever you want.
@@SM5T001 then dont play. You clearly have different priorities than me and I respect people that have different view than me and stand by it.

How on earth does he not understand the wands Attack charges and uses Magick. Then can’t even aim it right and doesn’t choice magic regen boons. I’ve never been so frustrated watching someone play 😂😂😂😂
So, third part when? There is still so much shit that he completely skipped cuz he keeps missing plants, mushrooms and much more and the whole surface area too...
Took me 32 nights after failing over and over again! Pain in the ass then I went the surface battered the end boss and now Iv got loads of other stuff to do ❤GOTY contender already
At least being a bit woke fits the setting of the game. The Greek gods are well known to enjoy swapping genders and that's just the tip of the iceberg for them.
They/Them? I don't remember that but i remember some gods being hilariously badly portayed with all sorts of races which is kinda crazy considering we're taking about Ancient Greece mythology.
Tbf, in the Greek Mythos, it was at some point Hera literally pushed Hephaestus off from Mount Olympus to the ground, and judging from the context, I doubt Hephaestus would be fine after falling from such height ☠️ Insult to injury (both literally and figuratively), as far as information goes, he IS handicapped. So Hephaestus on a wheelchair is not even far fetched, though sure a different way to depict him, it's not as far fetched as you think it is.
Asmon tries to play it off like he just plays bad on purpose but somehow i just dont think his brains even engaged his skills have turned to cabbage from years of react content 😂
I'm guessing the devs are woke. They come off that way in interviews. Its not a big deal imho. Having said that these games are over-rated. I refunded Hades 2 its not different enough from the original. The art and presentation is cool but gameplay-wise there are much better roguelites.

@@bullettime1116 definitely woke
@lotheravanti4295 oh god you anti-woke zealots are really a piece of work
@@lotheravanti4295 Definitely brainrotted, you are that is...The entire game is about the daughter taking revenge for having lost her entire family to Chronos and the entire reason why she wants to kill him is so she can have her traditional family back. Doesn't seem very woke for me.
Bro with get pissed in the Animes like Lycoris Recoil and Canaan if that was aired today
EVery build is "GOOD" but Umbra Flame sucks so hard vs ALL OTHER options.
I dont know why its should need "Poseidon" to work, it means it sucks to only want one God to work, but not others.
I got my first ever clear with the torches. Didn't even use poseidon. You just stay out of range of enemies and save dash for projectiles and cast on mobile enemies.
Specifically, I used the spider keepsake through the first area to stack armor, Hestia boon to regen magick, and Apollo boon to make attacks bigger, combined with hammer that makes the attack split after hitting the first target. Any magick regen makes it work, but Hestia is best imo because you're not going to get hit with this play style so you don't need health, and the armor stacking is the safeguard.
You have to use Melinoë aspect and use special combined with Hera, Hestia, Aphrodite and if you want mix in a little Poseidon, actually broken.
Use Cast more
I think what i dislike about how Asmon plays is most of the time he over-commits to his build. When he commits to something, nothing else exists. When he RMB build, he doesnt use anything else. Like the Axe, he dont use F, Q or RMB for that matter.
1:37:35 the sound bug
The cast is the most important ability in the game. He doesn't use it ever
I beat it without using the cast at all
@@fluffbulous3544 Good for you. That doesn't mean it isn't easier if you use it.
Is Cerberus the final boss?
nope, there's technically a lot more
There are two "Final Bosses" so far.
There's Chronos, the main story Boss, and then there's the unfinished Surface/Olympus boss atm, Eris (she isn't the final-final on the surface boss, but the game's surface area is locked at her atm as the final fight in the surface).
Though there could be a lot more.
@@Meow_Meow_Hurts_Real_Bad Damn man he didn't ask for full on story spoilers jesus....
@@KingJerbear Erm, it's kinda clear that Chronos is the main story boss (bro's even advertised as the main villain since freaking last year, the very first trailer even emphasizes that).
But sorry on the Eris part 😂 (but she ain't the final, fr, but you have to consider that leakers exist man, eventually it will jump right out of nowhere).
damn asmond living the dream buying asses XD
For me, melee just feels so horrible to play in Hades 2. Too much risk, too little reward compared to just using omega casts from far away which can do even more dmg anw
It is early access. There is probably going to be a lot of re-balancing before the final release.
use the daggers, you can do so much dmg with them upclose
I mean, it is Early Access...they will change a lot of things, and they did mention at some point that it will remain unfinished for quite a while.
Dont agree, aphrodite raw damage boosts for specials and attacks are insane, demeter is good cc with freeze and can buff your aphrodite omega attacks even more. Apollo is just good utility and can give you double attacks for basic attacks, hepheatus is for durability, don't really like his attack/special boons tho
@@oniuserjhdaggers + aphrodite attack buff and the daedulus hammer buffing omega attack, doing like 700+ per omega attack is amazing
Comment: “What’s the difference from Hades 1”
Asmond: “Oh, the game is Woke now”..
😂😂🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Bro tried Hades 2 again

“a game is not good because it is woke, and game is not bad because it is woke. as long as the gameplay is good” -Asmongold 2023
i personally dont agree with their race change, hestia depiction, asian hermes, etc BUT i dont care as long as the gameplay is good. At a certain point I just accept some people just dont share my view and ideology. as long as the quality of it is good (“quality” here means if in a “game” its the gameplay, if in a “movie” its the “story”, etc), then i dont care if its woke.
and for people that say “well asmon shits on cleopatra race swap without watching the movie” well. the “quality” of a “documentary” isnt in “writing” but in “accuracy”. thats why it deserves to be shit on.
Hades on the other hand is a Fanfic of greek myth. both Hades 1 and 2. its not like in the real myth theres a story where Zagreus try to escape from tartarus all the way to surface 10 times to bring back his mother. its not like theres a story where Chronos is revived and sit on Hades’s throne in greek mythology. its a fanfic so be free and do whatever you want.
I just don't want to give money to the people who hate me. There is a lot of other games with good gameplay.
@@SM5T001 then dont play. You clearly have different priorities than me and I respect people that have different view than me and stand by it. All i did is share my PoV as a non US citizens (im from Asia) that is not affected by these politics directly.
Isnt that the beauty of internet in general? All people around the world with different ideology even outside the left vs right conflict, all come to one place
@kostasspirou1010 They do hate you. You're just too naive to realize it.
@kostasspirou1010 So you voluntarily join this conversation topic, then when you get a response, you leave this fence-sitting comment that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
If all you want to do is enjoy the game, then leave the real discussions to the adults and go have fun.
After all, children should be seen, not heard.
Bro doesn’t read
How on earth does he not understand the wands Attack charges and uses Magick. Then can’t even aim it right and doesn’t choice magic regen boons. I’ve never been so frustrated watching someone play 😂😂😂😂
So, third part when? There is still so much shit that he completely skipped cuz he keeps missing plants, mushrooms and much more and the whole surface area too...
Honestly, Hades 1 seems much more appealing to me... This looks like terribly overcomplicated, with some weird setting...
Took me 32 nights after failing over and over again! Pain in the ass then I went the surface battered the end boss and now Iv got loads of other stuff to do ❤GOTY contender already
At least being a bit woke fits the setting of the game. The Greek gods are well known to enjoy swapping genders and that's just the tip of the iceberg for them.
They swapped *species* on occasion lol. Freaky doesn't begin to describe them
Asmon: hades 2 is woke
Hades 1: gay poly relationships and they/them gods
dont even get me start on the flying snake head
@@mop-kun2381 WOULD!
They/Them? I don't remember that but i remember some gods being hilariously badly portayed with all sorts of races which is kinda crazy considering we're taking about Ancient Greece mythology.
@@mesicek7 Chaos in the first game and in this game was referred to by They/Them
Asmon was obviously being sarcastic
Cool thanks, enjoyed the first video alot and was hoping for more of this content.
something new to pirate thanks!
umbral flames is dogshit i dont care what anyone says plus its boring af to use
Man, first time watching Asmongold. This was quite underwhelming, it was a mediocre display of skill at best.
The Cerbarus fight has horrible hit-boxes, they don't match the animations at all.
Like I need to see your face the whole time of gameplay
I love Dora.
I love you
let me guess, the next vid gonna Change you life
God in a wheelchair. Imagine if it was depiction of jesus irl.
Hephaestus is handicapped in the mythologies.
Tbf, in the Greek Mythos, it was at some point Hera literally pushed Hephaestus off from Mount Olympus to the ground, and judging from the context, I doubt Hephaestus would be fine after falling from such height ☠️
Insult to injury (both literally and figuratively), as far as information goes, he IS handicapped.
So Hephaestus on a wheelchair is not even far fetched, though sure a different way to depict him, it's not as far fetched as you think it is.
The gods are aging and get hurt or can die in that mythology. Why are you pretending that upsets you.
Is it woke for real? I bought it and have barely played it so far. It plays like a dream.
Funny how all the greek mythology characters are black 😂
Who cares man
@@iliketires65 we do
@@iliketires65 everybody who is in their mind.
They're video game characters based on myths. You guys who make it about race are the weird ones.
funny how all the comment like these come from functioning human being.
Nice another video
omfg i'd heard it's bad but it's so bad
Garlic
Asmon tries to play it off like he just plays bad on purpose but somehow i just dont think his brains even engaged his skills have turned to cabbage from years of react content 😂
this game is ez GOTY
After losing my life and finishing the first Hades for hundred of times, i can safely assume that this "sequel" is nothing but fucking diarrhea 💀
@@jador9641is this another robot comment or did a real human type this
@@jador9641 as someone whos spent 100 hours in hades 1, this game is just as good despite it being in early access
@@jador9641 lol this games every bit as good now with a lot more potential than the first ever had.
Hmm doesn't feel very WOKE.
it's a shame that the devs are still involved with SBI tho.
I'm guessing the devs are woke. They come off that way in interviews. Its not a big deal imho. Having said that these games are over-rated. I refunded Hades 2 its not different enough from the original. The art and presentation is cool but gameplay-wise there are much better roguelites.
Supergiant games were never woke. Their games are actually good result of something being left but without over the top and wokeish
@@TheJolsso that just your problem alone. The game is actually good, has some new mech, combo and its one of the best roguelite out there already.
@@jador9641 proof plz. Having left-leaning sensibilities does not equate to being in bed with SBI
this game changed his life
