@@righteouself9928 Yeah. I feel like the easiest build is a Artemis/Ares Bladerift build. If you get epic rarity blade rift cast in Tartarus, you can kinda just force the rest of the build by swapping to Artemis' token first, then Ares.

I nearly cried a few times, trying to get the last Duo Boons for that one prophecy. But I've also nearly cried with joy when, just before it's too late, I finally get to choose Stubborn Roots.
stubborn roots is actual garbage pool of purging material, but it has a special place in my heart because I got my first win using stturborn roots and the hermes boon that gives you 1% call a second, then I just ran from hades until I got greater call x4
I got deadly reversal and merciful and in one run which were the last two of the prophecy for me and I nearly cried because I was about to give up for the night after I don't know how many runs trying to get it
@BMOwh Same, except Merciful End with Nemesis sword gives you much more reliable crit chance to get that Doom into the quadruple-digits. Try it, you'll like it
I'm always trying for support fire, but I haven't been too fond of zeus, considering my biggest trouble is usually just hades, and I feel like he doesn't help much on single enemies
@@Asparagun by that logic he’s going to get cooked just existing in asphodel. I mean, how hot do you think the air around a giant flooded river of flame is? And I seriously doubt there’s much oxygen that deep in the earth… Come to think of it, there’s likely a lot more pressure down there than the human body can withstand… hmm, I wonder how he survived? Oh I know. He’s a god. And do you see him standing on top of the lava? Yes? Well then, I wouldn’t say he’s submerged in it then, would you?
@@Asparagun actually I find asphodel more spacious than other regions. Mostly because there’s really not that much blocking you. If you need to you can just step in the lava and dash across to get away from an attack. Other regions you’re often stuck in a specific branch of a room like in Tartarus. You have to dash across the gaps or you’re just stuck. And the fact that you tried to completely change topic to shift to my saltiness makes me think you’re absolutely covered in the stuff cause I pointed out that the game with a bone hydra and the entire pantheon of Greek gods doesn’t exactly use realistic logic
I've come to notice that boonless runs are absurdly easy, just use the broken shackle things you get from sisyphis and use the aspect of hades on varatha, and then get the charge throw and exploding shot daedalus upgrades and you win.
@@satyakisil4289 it's basically a guarantee to get 2 hammers, you have a 100% chance to get one in Tartarus and an insanely high, if not guaranteed chance to get one in Elysium. It is extremely easy.
Poms are overrated imo. They are only good if you already have what you want or you have a really good boon that improves a lot from an upgrade. Otherwise it's just extra. Also, the 1 extra upgrade wouldn't be as valuable as the first one, even though it's free.
@@rattled4806 Eh. Pomming call's pretty good. He's almost guaranteed zeus call within the next few rooms with the trinket and is fairly likely to be offered smoldering air later with aphro in his pool. It's not like she's doing anything else for him. Double strike's a worthwhile pom investment for styx, which he'd want by then for sea storm anyway. Razor shoals for privilaged status is the next best thing here.
I am so glad I finally got all the boons myself so now I can play however I want with whatever wacky build I can come up with the game is so much more open to me now
this is me trying to get demeter and dionysus' legendary boons to fulfill the power without equal prophecy. i like dionysus' boons they aren't that bad but i'm done at this point pls spare a hand in legendary boon sir 😭🤲🏻
I never got far enough into this game to get the different types of each individual weapon and to get into real duo boon builds and stuff. I stopped right before
just add doom to it with ares & keep leveling up your doom. that doom damage is insane with the special especially at close range where all the 9 arrows together inflict a massive damage on the enemy
wow i didnt even know to this day that you needed specific boons to unlock duo ones. I just thought i need one boon that knocks away foes and one that throws any type of lightning strike. Didn't know you needed the core boons specifically
I know nothing about hades, and only really play dead cells, ror2, and slay the spire (my rougelikes/rougelites) and so seeing this is like a fever dream where everything almost makes sense, yet it just doesn’t
It’s hard trying to get them Dionysus was being particularly stubborn But the first time I got Ice Wine it felt like I had discovered the Holy Grail I’ve never looked back since
Can I just say, doubling the pom level ups has been ABSOLUTELY clutch for me when I get it early game. Especially if i pair it with stacking doom/hangover. I haven't played the game in a while though so I forget if **postgame spoiler** persephone's pom blossom also gets affected by this - I don't think it does??? But imagine if it did
that's me trying in my first runs trying to beat hades, hoping to get stubborn roots (or whatever it's called) so that i can slowly regenerate health by ignoring the bosses and just having a completely terrible build
Me @... Well okay, most all my favorite builds rely on at the very least one duo boon, but some that spring to mind are Sea Storm on Super Soaker Lucifer, Merciful End on the fists, and most all the cast duos for Achilles Spear (Hunting Blades, Ice Wine, Crystal Clairity, etc.)
It's not a duo boon but this has been me trying to get rip current my last few runs 💀 it's the only Poseidon boon I need for the fated list and every single time Poseidon offers me boons he gives me everything BUT HIS CALL
Idk about Tartarus keepsake but if you just took the duo and then waited for the next boon or switched the keepsake to Zeus in Elysium it might'd worked.
With twin fist and almost any other random Boons I can beat Hades in under 25mins. My record was 22mins. Haven't beat it once using the damn Bow though. Now this new game I'm playing kinda like Hades called, Curse of the Dead God's is nearly impossible just to parry which is the only main thing your supposed to do. OH, Hades is one of my favorite game's ever, the story and great voice actor's keep me going. EDIT: Sorry, just realized I'm apparently a rookie compared to you guy's.
Tbh I never go for a specific build I just take boons and than pick what I like the most of that So for example Ares shot will almost never be used I don't like it
I am yet to get my 1st duo boon after 11 runs but i got my 1st heroic boon on the 9th run? Had to sacrifice my epic artemis boon the i got from the very start for a... Heroic Aphrodite boon that boost my attack by 138% and changes my arrows to hearts?! Yes please
I got all the fates and achievements. All that's left is the third skelly statue. Im at 22 skulls and just gave up. You reach the point where there's no nerfs you're fine with getting. Upgraded hades is ridiculous, increased speed fucks you, nerfing your boons and mirror fucks you. Healing gets % worse each time, prices further cripple you. It's just not happening for me.
