It never ceases to delight me how so many of these characters care about each other and love each other, and have such a hard time expressing it. Somehow, we got the most unexpected thing from this game about the house of the dead: A happy ending.
athena and hermes both offer so much utility for all purposes that i think their boons are some of the best in the game but i think poseidon boons once you get rupture applied to them are really good dps since every enemy is going to end up moving and taking damage as a result
Poseidon's dash with Zeus's combo boon, the one where lightning strikes knockbacked enemies... That shit MELTS most everything. Add a few artemis boons to that for crit and you get some real nasty dps
@@arsenalfan0417 You know, it's weird that Lucifer is a thing in this game. I mean, this is all about Greek mythology, and if Lucifer exists in this universe, than so would God, and if that's the case than what does that make the Olympians?
@@elitegamer9310 if we go by the Bible, then God or Father God is the Gods of the gods whom can just think and everything will be gone. And lucifer who is a fallen high angel (often known as a star, which is the highest rank of angel just beneath the title of Archangel) will be one hell of a power house. And by this Jesus would also exists as he is the son of Father God making him a God above Gods. So the ranking of things will be as followed, Father god >>>>>>> [to the power of infinity] Jesus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael The archangel >>>>>>> Satan >>> Lucifer > Other High angels > Guardian angels > Olympian Gods = Cthonic Gods > The choir of God and other low ranking angels (there is a verse in the bible where angels up above sing songs of Joy when a sinful person acknowledges God) > Demi-Gods and beings with equal power and authority >>> Mortals. World building on the other hand is gonna be rough. Stated on the bible, there are multiple heavens, the highest is where Father God made a place for his son Jesus(also known as Paradise, where Jesus and the rightful human beings will reside there once the judgement day has passed) well before he created everything. So this is how this might go, Paradise >>>>>>> Literally every other Heaven >> Olympus >>> Overworld, underneath is the Underworld, underneath of the underworld (or perhaps somewhere inside the underworld) the Cells of where sinful people resides after their death (Jesus preached among them for 3 days after he died) And finally underneath is the never ending sea-like fire upon which all souls that are deemed unforgivable at the judgement day, will be damned forever. Lore wise, I have no clue..
Aww, daddy Hades knows how he is and I love how he gets all shy. My heart even panged for him when Zag said, "I didn't do it for you, _dad."_ Granted, he said it better than that but still!!!!
“Hades finally takes my nectar” My god why did my brain went there. Also I swear to Hades Athena is so good, all three of my wins right now are thanks to her.
if the gloves really do give that many dashes naturally, tidal dash runs (the 7th and best infernal arms) will go from being ridiculous to unstoppable. i still remember my level 15 tidal dash run.... just so much wanton carnage.
Those weapons on your hands…they’re monstrous like me Zagreus: a king called Gilgamesh used these to fight a beast man but they became friends so what does that say about us zasshu? What did you call me? Zagreus: Huh…..I don’t know it just came out
Most of pre Christian mythologys and religions are compatable. It is one thing that separtes Christianity, and other Abrahamic religions is that they belive that they gods are only TRUE gods. While a lot of old religions dont deny other religions. Fun example of this are Vikings. Alot of them start worship jesus and Christian god pretty fast, but at the same time they still worshipped their original Gods, sometimes even building shrines to Jesus among shrines of other norse Gods. There is mentions of Vikings who Actively worshiped both Jesus and Norse gods at the same time.
@@vladpw123 makes me think of works like smite or the fate series that can blend these pantheons together to various extents. smite in particular is amusing since all the introduced pantheons can compete on near equal footing but christanity is seemingly intentionally left out by their nature being overpowered and uncooperative in other circles.
Most ancient cultures tired to explain the new and exotic via comparing it to what they knew or even mixing it together or coming to some other agreement often by adopting myths(i suspect this was helped by gods having a distinct domain/job/function that were found in any human culture due to well, being human). For instance Roman and Greek mythology. Most people say these are 1 to 1 copies but there is actually more nuance to it (like Mars who is a god of war while Ares is more like the god of slaughter, while Athena takes over the more rationalized part of the war aspect) in both the way the god was portrayed and how the religious practices were conducted. And then we have the more blatant ones Hermanubis who is literally just a combination of Hermes and Anubis due to sharing the same job(in this case, guiding/guarding souls). There is also a funny thing about this as Hades housed not only the dead but also not yet born(see Aeneid book 6 for that retelling from the roman side, or Odyssey for a Greek example, this is also the original Necromancy). This could explain why an aspect of Gilgamesh and Guan Yu can be present, time is meaningless in Hades(altho this particular one is a bit more of a strech)
everyone talking about athena and shit but like me personally I find ares's boons incredibly powerful, especially if you get a bunch of poms on doom damage and then even get merciful end, which by then u can completely melt enemies with twin fists
@@nontimetis Neat. I will use it just to see different bosses. All this time and I never used it. Hell I beaten the main story but had such a bad luck that Orpheus still is not singing in my game.
Now I just want see what Gilgamesh is doing in the Underworld. There's so many characters just mentioned and we get no sign of them. Where they all at??!
Asterios and Theseus. I have no idea what’s going on here but it worries me lol. 😅 How many times must we beat Hades for him to accept the nectar? I’ve never dared to try. 😱 Yet.
@@gabasneitor7120 enkidu has limits. Didnt even stop Heracles and only chained Tiamat for like 10 seconds before it broke to pieces. Besides Zag just spawn back lol
@@sephelutis Wait you are misunderstanding a few things, the reason why heracles and tiamat were capable of breaking enkidu was for 2 different reasons in heracles case was because his divinity is rank A while his Strength is A+ and because enkidu's strength is directly proportional to how much of divinity the objective has the chain was inferior to his strength, and in tiamat's case was because she no longer was just a divinity she was now BEAST II which gives the extra boost to break enkidu. About the spawn back yeah that one is fair enough not sure if there is a treasure capable of stopping that

didn't they change the main character to zag so they could differ from the mythos?
I love the fact Asterius looks like a Golden Saint with that armor.
Im almost certain its a reference
How do you unlock that skin
@@Shackospeare Beat the final boss to unlock the Pact of Punishment, then set Extreme Measures to level 3.

He is a saint. And he needs to chill with Zagreus more.

it fits in a way, especially knowing what kind of reputation they each hold to mortals.
i think Athena has the best dash in game without her I wouldn't have won as many runs as I did.
Yeah, as a stand alone gift it is the best. Zeus dash can be better, but requires multiple synergic gifts to be that.
With a good setup the poseidon one is funny to play with
athena and hermes both offer so much utility for all purposes that i think their boons are some of the best in the game
but i think poseidon boons once you get rupture applied to them are really good dps since every enemy is going to end up moving and taking damage as a result

Agreed
King Arthur: 'Sup?
Yes, indeed
"Hades finally takes my nectar" ayo
At first I didn't notice the transition and thought he beat Asterius in 2 seconds and I was like "HOW?!"
"Hades finally takes my nectar"
That's a innuendo that Mad Moxxi would come up with
“Hades finally takes my nectar”
My god why did my brain went there.
Also I swear to Hades Athena is so good, all three of my wins right now are thanks to her.
Same lmao
god bless her dash and full god gauge ability
Not enough damage.
@@Palatard All I need is one Athena, I don't think damage would lower that much just with a single boon.
Meanwhile in Elysium:
-Man, how much I miss my manticore claws...
Asterius is the only one who respect you and tell you a story while asking for a spar.
I love how they mention other religious figures in this game, I hope that one day we will get a related game that is based on one of them
This game is so unfairly beautiful all the time
Theseus really out there with a freaking tank-chariot with guns adadadadadad
So... Hades is a tsundere..?
All the time. Stern working muscle dad tsundere.
For his Queen, even more

Such a tsundere this hades guy
Zagreus and Asterius later became friends and hung out with Thanatos
That was so wholesome
Ow, he's so cuttie. I'm pretty satisfied with the ending, tho. Do you?
Is Gilgamesh compatible with this universes mythology? Is it a Greek version or do Mesopotamian gods/creatures exist?
The hidden aspects of the weapons are from other past or future mythologies and religions, there is even one for Lucifer
