I did Haruhi broadcast order and seriously regretted it. Doing the dub also didnt help. Next time, sub and chronological order, I'm sure I'll appreciate it more.

....and I cant remember the first Baccano ep so I can't answer that, I do think it's worth watching after the show (but before the OVA eps) but I'll get back to you on that.

Remember when they showed like 10 unexplained seconds of Isaac being cut with a spear in some mansion surrounded by characters you never see anywhere else in the anime?

Still burned into my memory, lol

Actually that reminds me Roba, popular recommendation is to skip watching first ep of Baccano, and having watched it (and being super confused) I kind of echo that! For whenever you get up to it in your project.

I know at least one (maybe only one) time I went through 5 DDs in the final battle - 3 regular, Luckier Tooth, and Toula's (the cat)... and I still managed to win in the end so that was pretty handy. Also like Toula doing the fishing instead, and the cat sound effects are on point.

that being said, I went back to taking Frinos out with me if only for him to tank the hex in the Hecate fight, looool

Everybody else too busy playing to give updates in here or what? lol. Congrats though I still don't like the wand slander, Aspect of Eos w/ Born Gain top tier!!! (Born Gain really is so broken)

I just finished off the final testament run, Skulls 20 fear, again getting lucky with my skull routine - zeus "choose cast spot" and both demeter casts to give +50% dmg buff. Throwing skulls was just icing on that cake. 2nd last run was axe 20 fear and first experience w/ Aspect of Charon which is also super busted if you get the right combo, once you get the Zeus cast or Hestia's glowing coal it's over. Loved it.

So now I really am 100% done playing the game for now, really going to try waiting to hunt down the remaining prophecy items until the next game update. 102 hours played per Steam... really loving this game so far (so far? it almost feels complete), so many little details I love. Looking forward to more of it!!

I actually beat both 32 fear runs today, 100 nights done in the game, now I think I really am done playing it. Though I failed on my last 2 tries at doing 24 fear w/ Pan and i would like to win that but damn... Momus is broken.

I got one Dark from Chaos. Where do I get more? You can't buy them from the merchant.

there is no other way, and the Dark shows up pretty damn rarely, so get in the habit of going into Chaos at every opportunity and cross your fingers.

Absorbing the Q special w/ Momus you need to be in the blast radius when it goes off. I assume it works if you're right next to an enemy when you blast them, but I used it just by being up against a wall and blasting. It only heals you 5 HP but man it really made all the difference on my 32 fear runs.

Monogatari is incredible because I swear in the past year I've come across what I would expect to be completely unrelated things - big tiddy silver-haired wolfgirl, anime OP of little girl with a backpack and a catchy theme, big tiddy blonde vampire, infamous toothbrush scene, some purple-haired girl wielding scissors like a weapon or something, more than one incredibly inappropriate brother/sister scene beyond the toothbrush scene - and each time I'd try to find the source and each time it was the same show??? Well the different series in the convoluted Monogatari timeline I guess.

I mean I have only heard good things about it even though I still have no idea what it's about, I keep thinking about adding it to the queue to watch.

I'm rounding near the end of my Hades 2 playing for now, which is good timing since I have a vacation coming up, and fair enough since Steam says I've put 83 hours into it, damn. The thing that's annoying me is I can't get anywhere close to beating 32 fear, and I would really like to beat the Surface 32 Fear and get credit for it now while it's in its shortened state, but I really just cannot do it, damn

Will need to hope the 6th weapon, new aspects or lifting the grasp maximum happen in the future because there's no way I'm gitting gud enough to do it, 32 fear in this is seriously like 40+ heat in original Hades, damn. Missing the shield more than ever now.

^ there's a cauldron spell which details the requirements for each boon, I don't know its name since I got something brewing right now and can't skip time since I had a hot springs date. Can't recall when the spell unlocks. Was thinking of typing them out but it's just too much - the common throughline for each of them is they need "1 of" a boon from 3 distinct categories, sometimes getting very specific (i.e. only 1 boon in one of the three groupings) but yeah you need 3 (or more) boons from a god before you can get the legendary.

the exception being Hermes whose requirement is just "1 of" nine of his eleven other boons (the two that don't qualify are Tall Order and Quick Buck)

actually screw it I forgot I could take screenshots. here's all the legendary boon requirements (besides Hermes) (I'm sure gamefaqs will compress the hell out of it but ideally it's still legible)

You now can gather from any resource point once you have unlocked the corresponding Gathering Tool

....seriously? I mean I wanted this so that's good but now I wonder if it's too broken, like it feels like there's a resource opportunity in every room, lol. Also invalidates the animal companion a bit, I guess they come with a benefit other than resource-gathering but still.

I did notice the crossroads fishing wasn't giving the promised "wait" turns so nice to see that addressed in the patch. I wonder what the Eris one-time bonus item they mention was...

Fixed Satyr Hoplites retaining the ability to block while afflicted with Twilight Curse (Selene)

ok I got impacted by this more than once and it was driving me crazy, lol. Love that the devs are addressing these things.

So what's the verdict on this compared to Hades 1 Early Access?

I don't know how far Hades 1 EA went, personally I'm super impressed with this game's early access. Did Hades 1 have the infinite loop of beating Hades and not going into Greece/progressing the story past that point? Did it have the full array of Mirror options or more introduced later? I need to look what was in the Hades 1 EA unless somebody wants to tell me...

Bad news: I posted earlier about the spike in requirements to go from 29 to 30 grasp and I thought I couldn't do it because one of the ultra-rare items was never showing up again (needed 3 of it) but I finally got the other two I needed, and went and upgraded to 30 grasp and.... am then informed 30 is the maximum. Can't upgrade the grasp any further.

So much for my dream of grinding to get somewhere in the 30s and open up another card or two, I'm sitting on like 2000+ psyche too. Damn!! I mean ideally the cap gets raised with later patches or the full release, or maybe this will indeed be all there is...

I've found an actual use for the wands: you can hide behind the pillars in the Eris fight and use the special to summon fireball rings around them. Eris will chase you around them and get hit, letting you cheese 70% of her fight.

yeah I think 100% of my Eris wins involve cheesing with the pillars. Just went back and checked and majority of my wins are the axe and staff, omega attacks each go through the pillar. I forget if the flames do too but I had 1 win with them, nice.

of course in the midst of your cheesing you need to watch out for the attacks that blow the pillar away, I remember the first time I learned the lesson of not having either pillar to cower behind, lol.

staff double strike hammer is my fav, yeah sometimes it's nice getting into position to hit people on both sides with your omega attack but realistically you're just aiming in front of you the vast majority of the time.

Coarse Grit I love so much, not sure I've lost a run yet where I had it, i wonder if/how much they're going to nerf it. Up the damage cap, up the earth element requirement? hell, switch it to Legendary status so it shows less often, I can see that.

the key to the dinky flame weapon is the Hera magic-prime-refresh boon, then just holding down attack and moving/dashing around the field (even better with the Aspect of Eos). Hera boon auto-tops-up your magic so your omega doesn't get stalled, and I love when I get to pair it with the moon "80% slower" hex, even more if you get the ability to attack faster while the hex is active. Just need to make sure it's paired with something giving you a good attack boost, the Zeus chain lightning is handy there too. But in any case, it is my clear #2 next to the Aspect of Pan knives!!

yeah you're right and I am just using one computer so there's no problem there.

But thinking about a day in the future where I do change computers, if I resume the cloud save setting option when I've made a ton of progress offline... it would update the cloud save to have all my offline progress, wouldn't it?

as I'm typing this I tried it again and it worked with the cloud save setting again so I guess I'll just punt this down the road for the next time it happens and I freak again, lol.

Finally beat Chronos. I was using the Staff of Momus, but I never used its special ability. Turns out, you can do a lot of damage if you get every possible +beam bonus.

hmmm, Momus was the "omega special heals" one? the staff is the only Melinoe aspect I'm still using since I have a good groove with omega attack spam, but I failed with it in my last Chronos run. might need to investigate Momus!

There's no indication anywhere that Steam is down either and it still gives me the "Play" option for the game, damn...

Most importantly I never want to get that message again. Would choosing the "Go Offline" option from Steam menu solve this? How can I make a local backup copy of my save file in case Steam fucks my save file over?

Was thinking about getting the Hades II soundtrack, I bought the first game's when I played it, but I don't think I'll get this one (yet) because it's once again bringing a pet peeve of mine that the first game's soundtrack did - massive switchups and motif changes partway through a song so you can't just listen to the "song" you want to on repeat.

I don't remember who I was fighting in Ephyra when I noticed this sick techno beat thumping in the background and I'm like, holy crap, for a game (and its predecessor) with great tracks this is so different and just takes it up to a new level. A similar and even better variation kicks in for the region boss fight too, yeah?

So I decide to look it up on youtube and Supergiant has all the tracks posted and sure enough they did it again. Check out Doomed City and you'll see half the track being standard (and still good!) Hades fare, before the switch at the 3:55 mark to what I really want to listen to. Then it gets even worse with Sightless Shepherd whcih also gave me one of my favourite youtube comments I've seen in a while (keeping in mind it's a 6 1/2 minute track): "3:28 Cooking Starts 5:22 Meal's ready". I lol'd, it's so true, and yeah I only want to listen to the part from 3:28 onwards so the only options are to download the song and splice it myself or wait & hope somebody else does it? damn.

I beat Chronos for real and got new dialogue so I'm choosing to write off the dialogue after beating Eris as something that will make sense retroactively once the rest of that area is finished.

Yeah, I won with the skulls earlier only because I was lucky enough to stack a ton of Cast stuff, most importantly the Zeus boon that lets you move around & choose your cast placement, and I was just running around spamming omega casts both phases of the fight. Not sure I even did a skull attack.

Each of the other 4 weapons I've got an "aspect" that I'm very good with and comfortable using but none of the skull options work for me (Flames Aspect of Eos is 100% my jam). Even the skull omega attack is underwhelming.

I figure any skull run I have is going to be majority dependent on casts and/or specials, though I still need to try the skull aspect with the "glory" powerup

I'm kind of bummed that only 2 familiars are available at the moment. I really wanted to get the doggo or the polecat as a familiar and they just disappeared permanently as soon as I was given the ability to get familiars. Though I understand why, they just haven't been programed in yet lol.

Thanks for posting this btw, I was wondering if I was missing something and I was planning to ask the same question, phew.

Another question I have and am wondering if I'm missing something: has anyone in the game explained what happened to Melinoe's arm? I was wondering that for a while (especially since the hide-and-seek childhood memory had her with a regular arm) and I've seen one instance, came absolutely out of nowhere in a conversation she had with Icarus alluding to something between the two of them being the cause. So I'm wondering if I missed something or it'll be more elaborated on in the future (or if it just won't be addressed beyond that conversation...). Also thinking maybe I haven't spoken to Hades enough yet because I would expect him to ask what's up with that.

Even better news which I just learned by trying it - in the stone, "Trial of the Labrys" (2nd trial) has no Arcana equipped but your boons are so outrageous that it's beyond easy. Everything gets one shot and I think Hecate went down in 4 hits (the first three being damage gated) and it gave me "prophecy fulfilled" for that. So, crisis averted! Feels like a loophole that should get patched out but I'll take it.

Re: Knuckle Bones, every time I'm mulling what to equip it's on the shortlist and every time it doesn't make the cut, I haven't used it once, lol :( maybe I should... I did use the Evil Eye during my last 4th region run for the first time, at least.

If anyone was wondering, 29 grasp is as high as the "routine" upgrades in the arcana go; to get to 30 is a giant boost (29 requires 350 psyche, 30 requires 1000 psyche + two other extremely rare materials and 3x of each to boot). which is fair enough I guess, already feeling a bit overpowered at times (just finished another aspect of pan run with the daedalus special that fires your special directly ahead, heroic special attack, Coarse Grit to tank the 999 damage attack to only give 15, lol)
