The "older boons" Poseidon proposed are boons from the first game. That's nice.

[@scratezzz]

Lmao “Luckier” being technically right with that 1 HP difference is really nice

[@theglobe2050]

If Hades 3 ever comes out there will be The luckiest tooth item XD

[@D3sdinova]

I hope the test is going well and the early access starts in a few weeks. Cant wait to see you start building up your character for the long run.

[@yadamspiezer]

With the spiral knives hammer, you can stand right up against an enemy and hit them with all 16 knives. It's pretty busted.

[@medic8dvetnuclear592]

A decent test run could be of a sprint build. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a decent dazed status damage buff. Seeing the utility of it could be interesting as well.

[@smacc3968]

its very funny because at the end of the video (spoiler ig?)
the lucky tooth originally gave Zag 50 health on death once, and this one gives one more for it is luckier.

[@ulthorchaotic9019]

I saw options to chant when the witches were around the cauldron, a shame you missed it, that seemed like it could have been a fun little thing.

[@mica4977]

Wonder what would have happened

[@salkimon9156]

The slow when you charge your attacks doesn’t slow the time for your boon hydraulic press ( poseidons boon that powers your attacks up for 10 sec in every new room), so probably also for similar boons.👍

[@braodkc]

I get betrayal vibes from Hecate. I think that in the end she is actually helping chronos somehow

[@kyrab7914]

I think Hecate is ok but I get sus vibes from Dora

[@LordDragox412]

@@kyrab7914 Dora the non-explorer. Such a couch potato could never muster even an ounce of treachery in her heart! Because that would require effort.

[@EverydayGojoFan]

Hi Retro! I know you’ve stopped playing Brotato, but there’s been a huge new DLC announced with new items, characters, maps and local co-op! Are you going to cover it on this channel?

[@jamitiong2978]

That sheep curse maybe the other way you can dodge it is you guide it to the boss ang maybe she might get cursed and turned into sheep? idk

[@LaserStorm117]

27:20 that's exactly what I was thinking 🤭

[@mica4977]

Would love to see you gift Dora next as I'm loving her vibe & look XD
Also quite bold of you to buy Deathdefiance on runs you're actively trying to lose 🤣
Though they do allow you to be wilder with your gameplay without as much worry over not reaching the boss.
[Edit: Read your reply to a similar comment & indeed good to ensure you show off all the content!]

[@thomasbertrand9163]

I think you should Gift to Hypnos next time!

[@grimthefalln129]

Maybe hestias dash boon will deflect or negate the sheep thing?

[@Cobrabob]

Very strong build, but remember your trinket was making Hecate take bonus damage which might be why it seemed extra busted on the boss fight

[@Shax22132]

I'm looking forward to learning more of the story when the game properly releases. I feel that things aren't as straightforward as Melinoe thinks.

[@ESw0rdsman]

What does ‘salute’ even do?

[@dealdyrabbit6504]

I guess it's just a quick interaction to add a bit of flavor.

[@superbus2608]

isnt the death defiance is just going too prolong the time with leting hecate kill it?

[@Retromation]

Yep, but
A) it all but _guarantees_ we see the full run.
B) I feel compelled to show off the new keepsake.

[@michaelcordeiro12]

I wonder if something happens if you buy all the cards or the fate fabric

[@bretedwards5576]

love the idea to keep dying love the content and updates will come soon prob

[@yagofernmandez3908]

I need the early acces

[@Zeitgast]

🎉🎉

[@gertrude8676]

Yuh

[@nigrud9522]

Hecate sounds like the woman in Penny dreadfull or is it the narrator for bg3?

[@tangerinesandvibes]

she is the narrator for bg3!

[@ManlyPicnics]

Reto being too good once more being his downfall. There's still other Gods to encounter in this playtest, I'm not sure if they're locked based on number of runs you do, or if Reto is just unlucky and hasn't gotten them to appear yet.

[@colbyseitz2949]

Are they still inviting people, I put my request in on Thursday

[@lordashram82]

Where is dx11? This game is only dx12..

[@azarion662]

What graphicscard are you using that does not support dx12?

[@biggusdickus4952]
