Funniest part about Dionysus is that when he first meets Mel, he’s so drunk that he mistakes her for Zagreus post transitioning.

Considering some of the myths surrounding him, it perfectly tracks.

I was playing a game on itch.io about Orphism that used designs very similar to Zag and Meli's designs for Misa and Iacchus, Dionysus' kids but also Dionysus himself. It was probably a deliberate reference given Zagreus-Dionysus plus what the above poster said.

I just saw Dionysus' new art in this game and I kinda wonder if whiskey dicking is something he has to deal with regularly (being a Greek god and all).

Dionysus's keepsake is the Fig Leaf (lmao) - there's a 50% chance that an encounter will have no opponents, the number of times it can trigger depends on the level, up to 4

White Angler has been very fun for ke so far. Despite only having 30 HP, I'm still able to beat Chronos. Toula and Hades' Life Debt work very well with it.

I don't know if anyone else here has done it, but you can try to wake up Hypnos again. Mel ends up in a dreamscape based off the House of Hades with cardboard cutouts of Thanatos and Hades. Hypnos is still asleep, and Mel continues to misinterpret his mumbles as having some deeper meaning she doesn't understand yet.

Alright. Barring the unforseen I consider this patch beaten.

I wasn't expecting Dionysus as the NPC of Olympus. It works, but when I heard he was in I just assumed he was a new boon giver. Athena makes sense as Olympus' version of Artemis. Prometheus is unforgiving, but beatable. He's probably in a pretty good place as the third boss of the overworld. He only took me two tries to beat, but I had a pretty busted second run. The second time I beat him was probably closer to the intended experience, and he was pretty tough.

Damn, Prometheus is rough. Also only took me two tries, but I got extremely lucky on my second run and got the Epic boon from Athena that reloaded all of my Death Defiance charges as well as gave them an extra 40% heal, as I'd already ended up using all four of them by that point. He's pretty fun, though, and I really enjoyed the fight, even if I suck at memorizing the patterns when moving on to the next phase.

Also, the new weapon is hilarious. It's so stupid, but I love using it, even if I never use the special.

Finally got Prometheus, my beloved Sister Blades carried me through. Got some crazy synergy in boons and almost melted him.

I really should have thought earlier to just move to the bottom left of the arena as soon as he started his phase transitions. Made doging it all so much easier.

The idea that Chronos might genuinly create a better world for mortals should he win keeps being brought up. I wonder if that will factor into the eventual true ending of the game. I definitely dont think that Chronos will rule, but there might be some kind of change to the status quo.

It might be referencing the mythology where he was said to have brought a Golden Age for humanity. We might get something like him ruling the Isles of the Blessed like in (some) myths, though I dunno...

Mel telling Polyphemus off for claiming Ephyra for himself when it was entrusted to the mortal cult of Hades, only to then dismiss mortals as unworthy of attention to Prometheus's face is definitely a contrast. But then again, she was raised almost from birth to be the instrument of restoring the status quo.

It is somewhat darkly amusing, since even other gods agree to varying degrees that maybe they did Prometheus dirty and he is justified in his alliance with Chronos.

As for gameplay, I'm so happy Eris got a nerf bat. It always felt like you would either beat her up no sweat or get completely demolished by her. Prometheus is fast, though I think he got a hefty nerf already. Still can't dodge that big flame attack he does when he goes to the foreground to save my life though.

Prometheus calls Mel an agent of change, so I wonder how much she'll restore and how much she'll change.

EDIT: I had a dream where after you beat Chronos for good he took Melinoe with him and now Zagreus had to save his lil sister.

I just got Poseidon's Legendary, and holy cow it goes really well with the Black Coat's hammer that adds extra strikes to the dash attack. Also got a few boons that increased attack speed, so the splash damage just melted right through the Guardians.

The game is on sale on Steam right now. Just 10%, but still. How is the amount of content right now? I'm always VERY leery of getting any Early Access games.

In raw boss numbers, Hades 2 already had the first game beat by 2 bosses right out of the gate, now 3 after the most recent update. There are two locations to actually explore, the underworld and the surface. There are six total weapons, all with their aspects. Outside of the full story and complete interactions with the various characters, the game already has much more content than the first game.

All right, I've basically been playing the game nonstop the last five days, finally come up for air. Yes, it's good, which is why I hate it. I have things I'm supposed to be doing.

I must be missing something, but how the hell do you upgrade familiars? Everything I've found online seems to be out of date, because it's just like "feed Frinos at his spot in your tent," and I don't see a button for that. I have the pet food.
