Hades

I think Hades is up there with Slay the Spire and Spelunky as the best rogues. Dead Cells not far behind.

Struck down by the third boss. Might need a few goes to work that one out properly.

Didn't find that area too bad on first impressions. Might have just had a decent build to combat it but I found it much easier than 2.

FFS almost took down the bosses on level 3, the cunt with spear and shield spamming his god call thing, the other boss was easy when I could isolate it in the arena

Just wait until you all get the hang of targeting specific builds on your runs. You'll be smashing out winstreaks without breaking a sweat. I think mine only got broken because I did a max heat run for a laugh.

Yeah … this thread is making me want to finally buy the game. Though I do have a free two weeks on game pass (PC); reckon I could rinse it for as much as necessary in that window? Or is it all about the replayability?

Cool, cheers. Might be worth just buying it then for those sort of hours.

Plus I’d pretty much banked on using the two weeks of game pass to blitz through The Medium and The Ascent anyway. That’s another issue, really: game pass should be an absolute no brainier for me as I jump between games all the time, but I genuinely don’t feel like I get a lot of value out of it, as I just can never seem to be arsed to download games only to uninstall them an hour later lol I blame larger downloads like Outer Worlds and Metro: Exodus for putting me off.

Pro tip for spending your nectar early on:

I think the spear is probably my most used weapon. With the last of its forms plus athena attack it's basically a free win.

Go in blind and learn from dying.

A lot.

Hang on, am I getting this right here? It can split the bosses in Level 3 up into individual instances? I just ran into the bull twat on his own.

Still died mind you.

Oh maaaaan that's rough. I thought I saw my way out there.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

2nd boss is so easy with that pole. He can never get near you and you can just chip away and clear the adds as they come in.

For the second boss, it's best to try to pace yourself so you can do a big burst of damage as the secondary heads appear. He's a big pussycat when it's just him. Make sure you have your casts ready and, if you have a call, try to have it charged for the second wave of secondary heads.
