Just like CE
Finally beat Chronos. Weird how whenever I decide to make a run for Chronos, grave thirst always effects the Argent Skull.

Anyone know where to get Dark to unlock the aspect of Thanatos for the Axe?Apparently
ApparentlyThey haven't given me a single drop, so I'm in the same boat as you right now.Chaosgives you the first one just by talking to them, but I've played the Early Access a bunch(30+ hours, beaten it with all weapons and started doing Fear runs) and haven't seen it yet.
Regarding the first patch I'm surprised how fast they changed their mind on the gathering tool restrictions. Especially since the Familiars already alleviated it a bit by giving you one use of a tool you didn't bring.If there were 2 more familiars for the spade and pickaxe then I'd get it (and they probably will add more familiars as early access continues), but right now there's only Frinos and Toula that cover the Tablet and Fishing Pole, and I feel like bringing the pickaxe is better than the spade 9 times out of 10 because minerals are used more than the grown plants in the incantations and upgrades.
have they said if anything carries over from the first game, or some other bonus for playing through it? played the first on switch and thinking about getting the second on pc
anyway, I want to ask how many hours played the people who have gotten their first clear were at when it happened. I got my first clear in Hades the 3rd day the game was out so I was one of the first on CE, but I was also playing 8 hours/daySteam has me logged at 23 hours (didn't play it since a couple days ago) for the pic posted above, but there were some times where I had the game paused because I got a phone call or realized I had something important to do around the house or some shit, so feel free to subtract an hour from that, and another two if you don't want to count
I got my first clear in Hades the 3rd day the game was out so I was one of the first on CE, but I was also playing 8 hours/dayNo idea for Hades I, but in Hades II I got mine during the morning of the 9th(it released on the 6th I believe, but I didn't play that day until an hour before I fell asleep). Hours wise I think I was around 11-12 hours played. My exact run number was 16, but I don't know if the mandatory surface run(s) were counted as attempts in the record thingy.
how do you feed the cat you find out in the world??With the same treat you use to get Frinos as a companion.
it won't come home with me :(
Hows it compare to the original? More of the same or anything new worth talking about?Seems better than the original so far. Melinoe's cast, sprint, and different weapons make her feel different enough from Zagreus and there are already more stages than Hades I with at least one more on the way. Said extra stages are in a different direction at the start so the entire run would be in different locations with different enemies/bosses as well. There are also the Chaos trials which are short runs through one area with set aspects/upgrades/keepsakes, but they haven't been very challenging so far.
Progression is probably the most similar part to Hades I. Though the main story doesn't advance past your first victory right now so I'm not sure how much different that will be once it's done.
I'm guessing that's why the final boss is so strong. I beat the final boss for the first game on about my 10th run. I've done probably at least 20 Underworld runs and still haven't beaten the final boss. I'm guessing once they release that story they are going to make the fight a bit easier.
If you find Hades too easy how's Hades 2?Up until the final boss I thought Hades II was easier. I'm better at the fight now but I still think he's harder than base Hades was. One thing that stops you in your tracks for story purposes is a character that curses you to take increasing damage per room until it maxes out at double damage taken. I would've had my first victory earlier than I did in Hades 1 were it not for that.
A problem I had with Hades was I was able to get through it too easily which kinda ruins the story telling since the story expects you to die regularly.
