@@BravoRagazzo6 Fr bro I was actually crying at that like I get that it’s his first run but it’s also like an unspoken rule. If you break it I’m gonna cry 😭
honestly for a first run in a save the extra damage on the strike from divine strike can go a long way, especially if you're trying to go as far as you can while not being good enough to beat the game in the first run. edit: also having only one dash in the start of a save lowers the value of divine dash imo
Believe it or not I’ve seen people legit beat the first few bosses with the other boons. It’s a GOOD dash but it’s not like the other choices are trash.
@@mintmuffled I was thinking more because Hades 2 is out by now, but that’s good to know. Though I wouldn’t recommend _truly_ 100%ing it - there are some pretty grindy things that are only worth going for if you’re already putting hundred of hours into the game just because you still enjoy it at that point.
I’m sorry (actually) but my 🤓innes is too big: it’s actually rogue-*lites*, when you die you can keep certain upgrades permanently (like new weapons in ded cells ykwim?)
@@sergavetok so… that depends on whether or not you follow the Berlin Interpretation… which defines 8-9 traits that the game Rogue was built upon, and if a game follows all or most of them, it’s a roguelike, but if it has some or one, it’s a roguelite.
The confusion about the bone hourglass is that keepsakes do not automatically equip, you have to manually switch them on before runs or after bosses at the big display looking thing you can interact with, so it was not having an effect right away when you got it
Fourth first try is always the good one ay? Never played Hades, but watching you play it with such good explanation is really enjoyable, might grab the game later on, seems fun! Also, big props to "THE FRIEND", the "beat first try" series is really flipping good and seems to get good views, happy for you, you deserve it! Overall, banger video, thank you for listening to my TedTalk
Your TedTalks are always appreciate brother. I’m glad you liked it and you should definitely check out Hades! I’ll be getting all of the achievements for sure.
Really good video again. Would definitely love to see more Hades stuff considering how in depth it is. Btw the Armor while also giving enemies a second health bar also stops you from stun locking them with attacks. They can't be stunned at all if they have Yellow Armor.
@@mintmuffled The game is very fun, you would be doing yourself a disservice by rushing through it to get to the second game, don't worry, just take your time
Loved this video & the commentary! A longer Hades video detailing various runs and further encounters until you finally get a winning run would be awesome
fun fact, your actual first run, like after you start a new save. is artificially harder, only one shop per floor, enemies hit harder, have more health, etc
most underrated youtuber ever! no i’m not a bot saying this your deadass so good at keeping it short and quality so i’m not wasting my time. yes i subscribed
I've played Hades for about 100h and now have sunk over 50 on Hades 2. Really happy to see more people coming back to Hades as well trying it for the first time. I bought it for my friend as well recently with the steam discount. Subscribed for more Hades 😊
Recently came back to Hades after seeing the early access for #2, started new game to get back into the groove of things and remeet the characters. Was so proud I managed to get to the Bone Hydra on that 1st run.
I’m trying fresh file too, good luck man, it’s been a struggle I’ve been off and on for like a year with it, furthest I’ve got was probably elysium bosses. Shit was nasty, no death defiance really does bite you in the ass.
As a new viewer took in by your first try videos, I would love to see more. The pomegranate also doesn't exactly level up one boon randomly, but I'm sure you'll figure that out as you play more.
As someone who also recently got into Hades because of the second game (I really liked Hestia's design), I really do feel ya when it comes to learning what the symbols meant. I remember skipping out on Darkness for Coin cause I thought the coin symbol meant shop. Only to see the shop symbol later.
Next weapon you get should be the bident it’s next to the sword cause it has a lot of reach and does good damage. The shield on enemies acts as a second health bar and also prevents them from getting stunned from your attacks.
I have started playing hades 2, but I honestly might start trying to 100% the original (I have only won twice in the original) in order to distract myself from playing hades 2 until it is fully released
Hades is hard. But it doesn't get hard until the end of level 3. The biggest roadblocks are the end of level 3, end of level 4, and the pact of punishment.
I played hades like for 3 months and i got all aspects completed most of fate of the blah blah blah thingy and beated it now im playing dead cells, hollow knight, ori and the will of the wisps. Cant wait for hades 2
There's a rouge-like called West of dead which you might be able to beat on the first try. I admit that with it not being well-known it won't make for a good title/thumbnail but it might be worth a try. :)
When I saw that there was a speedrun category for this, I had to give it a try. After about 60 attempts, I learned the seeds better and did clear it... in like 45 minutes. So, not fast at all.
For some perspective: most people with hundreds (and even thousands!) of hours in hades would struggle with a fresh file clear. You have to get lucky and get the right boons offered. I hope you have fun sticking with Hades, it's a really wonderful game!
@@Aligames5747 I'm referring to people like Haelian. He has thousands of hours in the game, has victories over 50 heat, and he struggles with a fresh file clear. It's a difficult thing to accomplish even with incredible game knowledge and mechanics
Looks like there are some small visual problems in the first few seconds, sorry about that 😅
I hope you guys enjoy the video!
I love hades one of my favorites. Looking forward to more.
it is a different Megaera. This one is a fury the one that married Heracles is a mortal. Also it is Heracles not Hercules
Not taking divine dash at the beginning making me scream and cry and throw up fr
I agree. He made me feel uncomfortable with the choice he picked

@@NianJKL the dash just makes it easier, not that you can’t beat the game without it but it’s just very good
We need a "i played hades until i beat it"
Unfortunately I think at this point I he’s already on Hades 2. Still excited to see content on that though
nah don't worry, I'll probably 100% Hades before I move to 2. The intro was just a made up pretense on why I 'need' to beat Hades on my first try.

“I picked up another Athena boon, none of them felt great to me” as he grabs divine dash. Lol
Shout out to homie who got you the game. True MVP
Having hundreds of hours in the game myself it's fun watching a new player figure things out for the first time. Would love to see more!

Now I want a "Can I Beat Slay the Spire On My Very First Try"
"Well yes but actually no"
This video truly was the very best introduction to Hades I could've asked for lmao
When he needed health and went to the pom because it looked like food instead of the shop absolutely destroyed my sanity lol
Really good video again. Would definitely love to see more Hades stuff considering how in depth it is. Btw the Armor while also giving enemies a second health bar also stops you from stun locking them with attacks. They can't be stunned at all if they have Yellow Armor.
I mean I get the idea but beating 1 run of hades isn't enough of the story imo before moving on to hades 2 honestly.
the intro was just some stupid shit to give a little story on why I need to beat the game in one try. I'll finish Hades first

I died along with you at 12:49 when you *sang* "no-ho-oh". You've earned yourself a subscriber, now more Hades and Hades II please.
Answer at 4:45
Man was so down horrendous for Meg, his silence was louder than the gameplay 💀

5:30 OMG I would also think about that game every time I talked to him, such a throwback
Skelly's voice actor is actually Zagreus' voice as well. And he also composed the music for the game
Very impressive video, you deserve a lot of recognition! Your channel is seriously underrated man
Was that Jak X music at the very beginning? The electric guitar and bass drum is unmistakable
The guy doing the voice for Skelly is the same as Zag. He also does the music for all their games
Just discovered this channel. Such high effort.
honestly a banger video kinda wanna see you complete everything
Brain just shuts down upon seeing Aphrodite XD
One Life Rouge Like, favorite series on TH-cam!!
This vid was awesome, I’d definitely love to see more hades content
You might recognize Shelly’s voice because his voice actor also voices Zagreus
Oh my god, you're right! Now ever time I talk to Skelly I'm just gonna be imagining Darren Korb in a room talking to himself...
I never noticed the wretches with the clubs had blond hair till he mentioned it at the beginning. For some reason I thought they were bald
Very entertaining and good video quality keep it up!
Immediately becoming one of my favorite youtubers. Am just binging all of the videos hhahaha
This guy gonna be a staple youtuber for me to watch now. You have got yourself a new viewer.
I specifically hear schlatt every single time skelly speaks
Recently came back to Hades after seeing the early access for #2, started new game to get back into the groove of things and remeet the characters. Was so proud I managed to get to the Bone Hydra on that 1st run.
A Jak and Daxter reference in the current year of our lord, hell yeah
Frfr
Found this channel through this video, and love the style of content you make. Keep going and looking forward to the next video!
I’m trying fresh file too, good luck man, it’s been a struggle I’ve been off and on for like a year with it, furthest I’ve got was probably elysium bosses. Shit was nasty, no death defiance really does bite you in the ass.
Would love a full video about a hades run
This is a run I've been trying on and off for a while. It's HARD, but I've gotten to hades twice now, it feels close
As a new viewer took in by your first try videos, I would love to see more. The pomegranate also doesn't exactly level up one boon randomly, but I'm sure you'll figure that out as you play more.
Hopefully you make a hades series or some more videos, loved it

Fat black Hestia design goes hard
I do indeed want to see more Hades please and thank you.

Bro him saying the aphrodite boons werent good had me shrieking lol
Just got into hades too a few days ago... and I fell in love with the game...
Hades is my favourite dating simulator
Hades is amazing and I hope you continue playing it!
Oh by the way is Skelly and Zagreus have the same voice actor so that's why he might sound familiar
Man, he needs to do a "Can I Beat Spelunky On My Very First Try?"
It'll be hella fun
Spartan: Total Warrior was the shit! I’m glad you’re playing Hades, man. I’m still addicted to this game.
SPARTAN TOTAL WARRIOR REFERENCE???? LETS GOOOOOO!!!!! Subscribed. You should do a video on that magnificent game.
I’m new to this channel, but so far really loving it, very underrated channel. Keep it up!! 🎉
Please keep this series up. I'd be willing to buy fun rouge likes to keep it going
Any amount of Hades is a gift in this world, please more
Hey man, now you got to finish it right? At least get to the first credits! Now I’m invested
Nice video! I hope you continue playing Hades
I have watched a few videos now at 1.25 speed but only remembered that it was when dating start started playing and I realized it was a bit too fast
Don’t know if anyone else has said, but the second health bar also means that attacking the enemy doesn’t make them flinch at all
A hades video this is my favourite game I absolutely loved it can’t wait to see you play hades2
Amazing content, keep it up!!!
Yes please do more of these videos!!
Great video as always Mint!
This is definitely a game i need to try one day soon
You should man!
Oh boy I just found a new TH-camr that I’m gonna binge watch until probably 1 am
See you there!
I have started playing hades 2, but I honestly might start trying to 100% the original (I have only won twice in the original) in order to distract myself from playing hades 2 until it is fully released
Moooore hades lol, love your style of content man it was super entertaining
hades gives you a disadvantege sooooo biiiiig on your first run
Seeing him pick a power pom over Charon with 250 coins physically hurt
Awesome vid, and totally appreciate a Jak and Daxter reference any day
Great video, I love this game! Your commentary is super entertaining to watch :D
We obviously want a second one ahah nice vibs btw (thanks to your friend for giving you this cool idea)
Wait till he finds out that to reach the credits of the game you have to clear 10 full runs, and then theres an epilogue after that
ahh had to subscribe when I heard the ace attorney trial music
I just got the game and will be trying this myself.
Please, please, please, I beg you, 100% it. PLEASE
Hades is hard. But it doesn't get hard until the end of level 3. The biggest roadblocks are the end of level 3, end of level 4, and the pact of punishment.
I got 10 of that….is the penultimate rouge-like statement on the first one 😆
I played hades like for 3 months and i got all aspects completed most of fate of the blah blah blah thingy and beated it now im playing dead cells, hollow knight, ori and the will of the wisps. Cant wait for hades 2

Some reviews are saying it's pretty clunky to play, so I can't guarantee I'll make a video even if I do play it, but I'll give it a try!
I generally don't like the bow for the reason you saw in Meg's fight, the standing still hurts
down the biggest rabbit hole yet
When I saw that there was a speedrun category for this, I had to give it a try. After about 60 attempts, I learned the seeds better and did clear it... in like 45 minutes. So, not fast at all.
Could’ve lived if you knew that was the charon shop, since you had over 200 gold
The foreshadow at 11:15 omg
I didn't know your channel, great video!
The hades franchise is actually a Drake reference.
First he had a hidden son
And then a hidden daughter
My first attempt I got to the second stage and died on one of the boating parts.
I’d love to see more hades!!
you did pretty good on your first first try
Not bad getting to Meg on run #4.
Welcome to Hades. Harder than it looks, eh?
I hope you enjoy it, it was my favorite game til its sequel dropped. Also I fucking loved spartan total warrior as a kid
You gotta play this more!
New here but I love ur commentary!!
For some perspective: most people with hundreds (and even thousands!) of hours in hades would struggle with a fresh file clear. You have to get lucky and get the right boons offered. I hope you have fun sticking with Hades, it's a really wonderful game!
Idk about thousands of hours struggling trust me I seen players at that level and I just dk about that bro
