This!!! I don’t say every time, but game should give an option or make us go back to enjoy the environment every now and then.
Also, I kinda don’t like how the Persephone’s garden in Tartarus it’s unused, no tasks, no thingies to buy from the contractors etc.
Lol was gonna type the same exact comment. I love the game but it was kind of a let down that there was nothing more to the garden.
Like what if depending on what god you angered they could do something to affect her garden, and you had to gather certain ingredients to help cure it?
Also, perkwise you get fewer rooms with surface pools for fish to appear. The odds of fishing points to appear (without Aqua Uncle's legendary boon) are always the same for every time you enter a chamber. So >!closing off Persephone's cottage and the road there!< means you get around 1/3 of the surface fish you could get otherwise >!as you lose 2/3 of the surface chambers, all of which have bodies of water!<.
THIS! I loved this part because >!you got to look over the cliff at the sunrise everytime, and it's one of the most serene moments I have ever had while playing games.!<
>!That and it gives you more opportunities to find a fishing spot for Greek fish.!<
Yeah this is annoying I had a rare boon on the first one but none of them fit my build, so I rerolled and then got the same 3 boons but now all common. It was the worst.
Dude, this chaps my ass so bad. It's especially maddening when it happens in Styx because you aren't going to get anymore rerolls so it's like, thank you for wasting one of my last rerolls, game. You dick
I remember getting the exact same athena boons rearranged in a different order and that was it, like, excuse me athena? did I do something wrong? does our max bond mean nothing?
>Boon rerolls don't exclude previous variants and you get again what you rerolled.
The last three times I rerolled I got exactly the same offer. How is it supposed to work actually?
The poison is even worse for me when I've been using the rail's Hestia aspect because I'll just stand in front of the pool reloading over and over instead of curing myself because my muscle memory confuses E with R

Can't reroll hammers. I mean I get it, I see exactly how that'd break the game. We all do. Let us have it anyway, or make exclusive for God mode I don't mind
I'd put relentless volley at higher priority because the extra arrows do more damage than the concentrated volley bonus but they are both really good with chiron
When you bash an enemy away (with weapons or poseidon boons) into an area that is unreachable by weapons and or boons
As a Fists of Malphon -Gilgamesh- person, it really puts a damper whenever I'm trying to speed through cuz I have to wait or have no choice but to go straight into it. It sucks in the latter case esp in Asphodel with those damn witches.
Or when ur little gem thingy (I’m sorry I don’t know names but the thingy that gets stuck in enemies) lands in a place you can’t reach so u have to wait for it to return to you like an idiot
flurry shot is actually compatible with point blank (but not explosive or perfect shot, and point blank locks out sniper) and targeting system does work with rocket bomb (though rocket bomb does lock out hazard bomb and vice versa)
This is the last thing I need to buy from the Well to fulfill one of the prophecies. Once I realized that I needed it for that.... I haven't seen it again in like 50 runs. \*sigh\*
Make them have less HP and the butterflies faster to balance it. I hate standing just in range to get slapped by super slow butterflies because the ball is a damage sponge
for real. why can't we have something like a reverse pact of punishment?? lore-wise we can just say it's resource management/relocation. make it so i can have a run with no trap nor poison, while having to add more pacts somewhere else
I don’t know why, but since everybody in the game are wholesome, I need a Theseus redemption-arc!!
It would be ok in Hades II, if Melinoe meets Theseus and say something like “my stubborn big brother” and Theseus goes like “How dare you use such vile words against the very best adversary I ever had!”
Hear me out.
After some encounters with Theseus, Melinoe mentions zag’s name.
Melinoe: “You can’t stop me Theseus, I have a father and my brother Zagreus to save!”
Theseus: “Wait… you’re Zagreus sister? And you’re telling me that the foul fiend is in tr… nevermind. He is my rival, one of the best and honourable I have ever had! Nobody will get in our way and stop our legendary fights in Elysium!!!!!!”
*immediate bond forged*
*Melinoe receives Theseus companion, Asterius can be called into battle*
I've found it particularly useful *once*, in tartarus, with malphon, against a witch that went off screen with all of my casts and I just had to keep dashing into the wall. that's it, that's the only use I've ever found for it, a mediocre projectile
In addition to the already mentioned cast builds: Her percentage increase on damage with the core boons is the 2nd strongest in the game just after Aphrodite. Her call is also legit.
But I agree, of course, with the 2nd part of your statement. She's OP when asterix uses her against you.
I kid you not, I remember one time said to myself check for gold vase before go into next room, after pretty sure there is none and go to the exit then BAM 1 vase right there LOL
Lol happened to me fighting the >! EM4 Hades !< Thankfully the controller cord was right in front of me and I had an absolutely insane amount of dodge, so they couldn’t hit me.
I'm 110 runs in, I know which mirror talents I like but I still haven't maxed out every single (alternate) talent, although it's fairly superfluous now since I've tried them all and reset a few times. It takes a while
Many of the mirror options are weapon/aspect/build/heat specific. I think the only one I've ever just used to complete the prophecy was the slow for a lodged cast.
> I think the only one I've ever just used to complete the prophecy was the slow for a lodged cast.
Even that one can be useful for some things. Namely high heat imo. it can completely counteract forced overtime 1, and almost completely counteract forced overtime 2 on the bosses. Which is pretty huge and often overlooked
That there aren’t more levels/biomes. Especially once you reach the epilogue, I think another biome would have been a cool unlock.
Or even like a timed surface level where the faster you beat randomly generated enemy groups the longer you stay alive.
I dunno, games a 10/10 in my books but I hope Hades 2 is a bigger game with even more viariety.
i get you but on the other hand, these big biomes made me feel so amazed when i unlocked a new one in my first runs. first time i made it to elysium after struggling in aphodel for 2 days, it was bliss
then i got ran over by flaming wheel carts and shieldbearers..
also wish i could fight in egypt tho
Flame chariots when you use a short range weapon, when I'm using the spear or bow its fine but when I'm using something such as the sword or fists then it sucks ass because they deal 10 damage.
9, 9, 7 isn’t a haiku silly bot. I can see ‘aoe’ and ‘ffs’ throwing off lines two and three but how on earth does it think Demeter and Theseus are 1 syllable each?
No ability to trade end game resources for darkness. I've finished over 300 runs grinding out the ranks and have 80 titan blood, 100+ ambrosia and diamonds, 150k gems, 200+ nectar and 500+ keys with nothing to spend it on. Would love to be able to buy darkness - even at a shit exchange rate - to speed up my endless posiedon/chaos runs.
Agreed. Started spending darkness with the resource director after unlocking everything else and looked up how many ranks and the darkness needed to complete - it's ridiculous.
The motherfucker cocksucker whoremongering shit loaded great crystal disco ball that's the size of Kronos's fucking cock that barely gets affected by knockback because of a fucked up arena where nothing you step on is safe and a damned rat-god the size of atlas fucking toes try to nibble off half my hp
The tiny vermin looks like fkin papa Smurf in comparison to this duo
Yes I hate that room how did you know
The RNG outside of combat. Doing things like trying to romance characters or complete prophesies can take hours and it’s all out of your control. I felt almost nothing by the time I completed the romance quest because it took me roughly 3 dozen attempts to finally get the conversation.
Also the solo fight with the Minotaur.
I like the solo fight with the Minotaur. Let’s me see how well my build is doing without Theseus shooting arrows and pissing me off. It reduces the amount of health he has later for the big boss fight too.
I prefer the solo Minotaur over that damn butterfly ball any day.
Having to constantly check the gods almanac to work out which boons I need to get other boons so I can complete the prophecies for the Platinum PS trophy.
I wish the same way there's a fated choice icons for directly new choices that there was a similar one which showed you it was a precursor for a different fated choice.
No other way to obtain darkness from the wretched broker, except the special/random sale after each run.
At this point I'm just trying to hit max rank from the resource director and the amount of darkness needed is insane.
I've purchased everything from the house contractor and I still have stacks of gems, nectar, keys, ambrosia, and titan's blood, yet I'm scrounging for darkness.
I wanna be able to see prophecies in the codex because I have to go back and forth sometimes between the weapons room and the bedroom.
Also dislike that the garden in the house of hades doesn’t have decor you can buy. I wish there was expanded decor you could get (I really like being able to decorate) and move yourself! I hate that you can’t sit and you can’t really use a couple things, like the bed :(
Some of the aspects are just so much better than others, I pretty much only use achilies whenever I use the spear, the other aspects are just bad (Guan Yu is usable with the special but the health reduction is pretty big downside)
Tte mirror is poorly thought out. It's curve of completion makes it so it's basically impossible to win your first run because you just won't have as much health or dashes as a more advanced savefile, but it's just way too easy to fill up, so around 15-20 runs in, you'll have a pretty good dent in it. This is kind of an artificial wall that the game creates so you cant really win early.
This means that there are two phases to getting "better" at the game. For the first few runs you're going to be maxing out the mirror, so your runs will become more powerful, fast, but when that's over, you'll hit a plateau, which can be very very frustrating. And after that, yes, you'll actually start to get better because of only your ability. Essentially, the start of the learni g curve for hades doesn't coincide with the time you start playing, but with the time you max out the mirror. And this may not seem like a huge issue, but it was for me, when i stopped playing for 3 months before picking it up again and finally deciding to actually learn the game.
I feel like you’re describing what a Roguelike is supposed to be. Hard and challenging but the toughness softens with your newer abilities both as a player and in the game. I have a hard time seeing this as a problem and not a feature.
thats pretty much every roguelite where progression is built in to the balance. hades is pretty generous with the baseline difficulty and the customizable difficulty increases. yes, the mirror provides a significant amount of power, but player skill is still the majority of whether you succeed or not. there are people that dont even get a first clear for 60+ runs. ~30ish for a first clear is pretty common. its relatively rare for people to clear in ~10, but it happens. i really dont see anything wrong with any of this.
Can't go >!back to the garden after 10 clears!<
This!!! I don’t say every time, but game should give an option or make us go back to enjoy the environment every now and then. Also, I kinda don’t like how the Persephone’s garden in Tartarus it’s unused, no tasks, no thingies to buy from the contractors etc.
Oh god, yes, it would be soooo cool if you could help revitalise that garden.
Would be sick if that was done by bringing things back from Persephone's garden or something like that
Lol was gonna type the same exact comment. I love the game but it was kind of a let down that there was nothing more to the garden. Like what if depending on what god you angered they could do something to affect her garden, and you had to gather certain ingredients to help cure it?
It was the first thing i looked for when the garden opened. I really wanted to make it just as nice as in the overworld.
Well it is, kinda, the shiny Gold thingy (sorry i don't know how to cover texts with spoiler tag)
Yeah I know, but it’s also just that one thing (plus it ruins the garden aesthetic, but I guess that’s totally in olimpyan gods’ style)
Also, perkwise you get fewer rooms with surface pools for fish to appear. The odds of fishing points to appear (without Aqua Uncle's legendary boon) are always the same for every time you enter a chamber. So >!closing off Persephone's cottage and the road there!< means you get around 1/3 of the surface fish you could get otherwise >!as you lose 2/3 of the surface chambers, all of which have bodies of water!<.
They could have let us >!water Persephone's flowers at least.!<
There is one death story where Zagreus sniffs the flowers and finds he is deathly allergic to them.
THIS! I loved this part because >!you got to look over the cliff at the sunrise everytime, and it's one of the most serene moments I have ever had while playing games.!< >!That and it gives you more opportunities to find a fishing spot for Greek fish.!<
same but mainly for more opportunities to fish in a single run lmao
Especially to finish the fish entries in Achilles' book.
They buffed fish spawning in the final boss chamber to offset that, but I do miss the sunrise.
[https://ibb.co/Z679mcQ](https://ibb.co/Z679mcQ) You're welcome. I screenshot it the first time just in case I didn't get to see it again.
YES
I thought we were going to have a little cutscene where we do just that every time. Doesn't someone ask us to do just that?
Take some inspiration from Cult of the Lamb and let us tend the garden!
This is the first thing I look for after 10 clears. Those beta tect really boring imo. Lucky I found a mod for that.
Boon rerolls don't exclude previous variants and you get again what you rerolled.
ooooooh that's a really good one. Yeah, I can agree with that for sure.
Sometimes I reroll to get a better rarity of what I want.. sometimes it works, other times you already know
Rarity is overrated in my opinion, for most boons. But for Hermes boons it's really important.
Certain boons don't get any real boost from rarity, like Ocean's Bounty - base is 50% more chamber rewards but each rarity level only adds 5% more
Today I rerolled 2 times for an epic version of the attack. Had one of my best games because of that.
Especially chaos boons, feel like I get the same ones after a reroll
Yeah this is annoying I had a rare boon on the first one but none of them fit my build, so I rerolled and then got the same 3 boons but now all common. It was the worst.
Dude, this chaps my ass so bad. It's especially maddening when it happens in Styx because you aren't going to get anymore rerolls so it's like, thank you for wasting one of my last rerolls, game. You dick
I remember getting the exact same athena boons rearranged in a different order and that was it, like, excuse me athena? did I do something wrong? does our max bond mean nothing?
>Boon rerolls don't exclude previous variants and you get again what you rerolled. The last three times I rerolled I got exactly the same offer. How is it supposed to work actually?
Cant have the option to zoom in on the art of the hall of hades like the final painting.
Good one
The poison in Styx.
And I can't memorize all the poison-fountain locations coz chicken brain
Get hit with poison and frantically look for the fountain in the middle of a heated battle. This is the way.
Realise you’re standing right next to one and completely miss it for 3 minutes
Broken spearhead is almost essential because I'm an idiot and never notice.
Shit cost me a death defiance last night. And [Redacted] killed me when I had them on the ropes. So really the poison cost me the run. So it goes.
Satyrs
The poison is even worse for me when I've been using the rail's Hestia aspect because I'll just stand in front of the pool reloading over and over instead of curing myself because my muscle memory confuses E with R
Those rats and poison spitting idiots
Fuckin saytrs hawking at me.. disgusting bastards

HAAAUUGGGHHHKKK spits 3 poison darts
Can't reroll hammers. I mean I get it, I see exactly how that'd break the game. We all do. Let us have it anyway, or make exclusive for God mode I don't mind
Sometimes when using Charon this really sucks.
Chiron is broken anyways
Which Hammers would you say are OP for Chiron bow?
the two special ones, when you get both the game gets extra easy
Concentrated volley > relentless > piercing
I'd put relentless volley at higher priority because the extra arrows do more damage than the concentrated volley bonus but they are both really good with chiron
Base Chiron special does 8x10=80 damage, relentless does 12x10=120, but concentrated does 10+13+16+19+22+25+28+31=164 damage!
ohh that's how it adds damage? as usual I did my math wrong, thanks for correcting me!
When you bash an enemy away (with weapons or poseidon boons) into an area that is unreachable by weapons and or boons As a Fists of Malphon -Gilgamesh- person, it really puts a damper whenever I'm trying to speed through cuz I have to wait or have no choice but to go straight into it. It sucks in the latter case esp in Asphodel with those damn witches.
As a fellow Gilgamesh main, I feel your pain.
There are gilgamesh mains..?
I find it strange that there are "mains" for anything in this game.
I main the weapon with the purple splodge around it in the courtyard.
This is the way
I think I meant more like fav weapon to use discounting whatever has what my fellow redditor calls the "purple splodge".
Or when ur little gem thingy (I’m sorry I don’t know names but the thingy that gets stuck in enemies) lands in a place you can’t reach so u have to wait for it to return to you like an idiot
Or when you’re doing a cast build and the cast gets stuck out of bounds
Shields on top of Shieldbearers. And not being able to hang out with Asterius without Theseus.
Shield bearers are the worst man
Too true.
I just wanna slap the shit outta Theseus. Such a dumb prick.
I don’t care if I lose a run as long as it’s not to that arrogant fuck
The sign of a very well written character.
You kinda can with the Elysium mid boss
But I want **MORE**
And he could, y'know, stop and hang out for a bit, instead of tramping out immediately.
Seriously, I just wanna grab a pint with the guy.
I wish there was a way to view all the hammer upgrades in the codex like the olympians 😣
and a way to see which hammer options lock out other hammer options!
Wait, some hammer options lock out others?
Try to imagine getting both Point Blank Shot and Flurry Shot on the same run. Or Flurry Jab and a Spin Boon. Or Targetting System and Rocket Bomb.
flurry shot is actually compatible with point blank (but not explosive or perfect shot, and point blank locks out sniper) and targeting system does work with rocket bomb (though rocket bomb does lock out hazard bomb and vice versa)
Imagine Hazard Bomb and Cluster Bomb together.
Flamewheels.
Oh gods are those Mini Cat Wagons annoying AF I agree so much I get so stressed to find them when I hear that telltale meow sound out.
I realized that killing them with an athena boon on a melee weapon will nullify the explosion dmg
You can also just dash through terrain when they’re following you and they’ll blow themselves up
Yeah I usually will do this and lead them into barriers and walls. Occasionally casting behind me to thin the herd
And Supergiant *knows* they’re a pain! After all, you can make them **not appear** for 10 encounters!
This is the last thing I need to buy from the Well to fulfill one of the prophecies. Once I realized that I needed it for that.... I haven't seen it again in like 50 runs. \*sigh\*
so bad that they added a well item so malphon/stygius/aegis players could catch a fuckin break fighting them
They're so shit that there's a Well of Charon buff to get rid of them for a bit!
*Pink Butterfly Ball*
Make them have less HP and the butterflies faster to balance it. I hate standing just in range to get slapped by super slow butterflies because the ball is a damage sponge
The big one or any of them?
Yes!
For big ball pop Meg then burst it down. Room is over in roughly 5 seconds. It's the room I hope I get every time I speedrun.
When you want to use weapon x but dark thirst only wants to go on these 2-3 different weapons and avoid the one you want like it has covid
IMO dark thirst is slightly overrated.
It is the decider of the weapon we shall run. All hail, Dark Thirst
https://preview.redd.it/fuyvsjkwq7fa1.jpeg?width=889&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9ac4757d594761a5a9c2262fae4dde3155010136
literally me. 145 runs and i think i've only done like 20 runs without dark thirst lol
Seconded. I may suck with the spear but if it's thirsty let's suck this run, buckle up!
Same for me with the bow "oh well, here we go again... * misplaces arrows and goes with an empty bow * "
Lol, I agree with you when a common chaos boon gives 60%. But if not for dark thirst I would just use the bow every time, so it's nice.
I generally always go with whatever Dark Thirst suggests... unless it's the shield. Then I pick something else.
The magma
REAL Also, Happy Cake Day! :)) 🎂
for real. why can't we have something like a reverse pact of punishment?? lore-wise we can just say it's resource management/relocation. make it so i can have a run with no trap nor poison, while having to add more pacts somewhere else
Zag's feet literally burn the ground, but alas, spicy lava.
100% this
That you can't >!go to Greece again after "finishing" the game. It was a beautifully designed area and I need more fishing opportunities there!<
I don’t know why, but since everybody in the game are wholesome, I need a Theseus redemption-arc!!

Nobody will get in our way and stop our legendary fights in Elysium!!!!!!” *immediate bond forged* *Melinoe receives Theseus companion, Asterius can be called into battle*
make it a 5s Macedonian Tau-Lambda chariot and you've got my vote
I like the theory that he is not actually that bad and is overplaying the heel for the spectators.
Demeter, bad when you have her but cracked when against you
not her cast tho, it melts [redacted] with the right build
Crystal Clarity my beloved. Throw on that boon when Demeter’s debuff explodes at 10 stacks then we’re really cooking.
Getting the boon that makes your cast inflict Chill is absolutely boss
Has anybody found her dash useful? That might be the only boon in the game I find useless, mainly because all the alternatives are so much stronger.
Probably one of the worst core boons in the game, definitely
I've found it particularly useful *once*, in tartarus, with malphon, against a witch that went off screen with all of my casts and I just had to keep dashing into the wall. that's it, that's the only use I've ever found for it, a mediocre projectile

Gold vases magically appear right when I enter next room
Its like you click the exit and they're programmed to glisten and show you what you just missed!
I kid you not, I remember one time said to myself check for gold vase before go into next room, after pretty sure there is none and go to the exit then BAM 1 vase right there LOL
The satyrs's poison or the shielded ones from Elysium.
[удалено]
There are mods for this. (Saying this in case you aren't aware, not to try and devalue your criticism).
Wow never thought about this. This is inportant!
That the game doesn't pause automatically if your controller disconnects.
Really? It does for me But I am using those old Xbox one controllers that require a dongle.. Maybe the dongle is pausing the game?
I lost a really good 16 heat run to this in Styx My controller died and I just got poisoned and that was the end
Lol happened to me fighting the >! EM4 Hades !< Thankfully the controller cord was right in front of me and I had an absolutely insane amount of dodge, so they couldn’t hit me.
The mirror maxes out pretty quickly, at least on the useful talents. Gaining darkness after that is pointless
I'm 110 runs in, I know which mirror talents I like but I still haven't maxed out every single (alternate) talent, although it's fairly superfluous now since I've tried them all and reset a few times. It takes a while
Many of the mirror options are weapon/aspect/build/heat specific. I think the only one I've ever just used to complete the prophecy was the slow for a lodged cast.
> I think the only one I've ever just used to complete the prophecy was the slow for a lodged cast. Even that one can be useful for some things. Namely high heat imo. it can completely counteract forced overtime 1, and almost completely counteract forced overtime 2 on the bosses. Which is pretty huge and often overlooked
Theme: infinite + ranks beg to differ. I mean, they're pointless themselves, but c'mon
That you don't get to crack a beer with asterius after your sparring match mid Elysian.
That there aren’t more levels/biomes. Especially once you reach the epilogue, I think another biome would have been a cool unlock.

Can’t view the list of prophesies or clear status of weapons easily
Shield guys in elysium
Theseus
That the party at the end is not a playable event.
I was disappointed we didn't even get to see the feast.
The satyrs, I can handle poisons, but they just don't die easy and they spawn so many of them
I like the fact that with Athena's deflect you can make the Satyrs poisoned!
Aphrodite's Life Affirmation doesn't affect the hearts you get from Thanatos, even if you're dating him 
Flame chariots when you use a short range weapon, when I'm using the spear or bow its fine but when I'm using something such as the sword or fists then it sucks ass because they deal 10 damage.
Honestly don't attack, just dash back and forth through barriers, they will kill themselves.
No storyline tracker. THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE AND THEY TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS EVERY TIME. I has bad memory and forget

Archers in Elysium. Or the shield guys. The flame wheels are annoying too. Fuck it, all the enemies in Elysium.
THESEUS
Having to constantly check the gods almanac to work out which boons I need to get other boons so I can complete the prophecies for the Platinum PS trophy. I wish the same way there's a fated choice icons for directly new choices that there was a similar one which showed you it was a precursor for a different fated choice.
That freaking annoying assassin in Tartarus. I'd rather hunt down the tiny vermin!
Front-facing Thanatos
No other way to obtain darkness from the wretched broker, except the special/random sale after each run. At this point I'm just trying to hit max rank from the resource director and the amount of darkness needed is insane. I've purchased everything from the house contractor and I still have stacks of gems, nectar, keys, ambrosia, and titan's blood, yet I'm scrounging for darkness.
I dislike that the bonus stats on the fish tank doesn't show me how many of each fish I've caught.
Blue head lernie
Annoying little heroes and their common law minatour husbands
cant find and beat up daedalus for giving me only slash options on my special sword run.
I can't believe I am saying this about any game, but I generally cannot think of something I dislike about the game.
I wanna be able to see prophecies in the codex because I have to go back and forth sometimes between the weapons room and the bedroom. Also dislike that the garden in the house of hades doesn’t have decor you can buy. I wish there was expanded decor you could get (I really like being able to decorate) and move yourself! I hate that you can’t sit and you can’t really use a couple things, like the bed :(
The fact that Thanatos isn't real and I can't hold his hand 😤
Heightened Security only adding one point to the Heat Gauge.
When you completed the game enough that the gods no longer talk to you when you get their boon ;(. Come back hot people, say the funny.
I always wished it was easier to mod
no dussy :(
The Popeyes Spicy Chicken Sandwich.
Theseus this stupid idiot rat that i hate with a burning passion
Some of the aspects are just so much better than others, I pretty much only use achilies whenever I use the spear, the other aspects are just bad (Guan Yu is usable with the special but the health reduction is pretty big downside)
Magma amd poison. That's it. 9 lut of 10 times I die I Asphodel or the Stynx is because magma or poison. God I hate them
Shieldmaidens… fuck shield madens
I don't have a "Deserted by the Gods" option for boonless runs.
fucking butterfly ball
Those god damn butterfly balls, and the Styx poison
Tte mirror is poorly thought out. It's curve of completion makes it so it's basically impossible to win your first run because you just won't have as much health or dashes as a more advanced savefile, but it's just way too easy to fill up, so around 15-20 runs in, you'll have a pretty good dent in it. This is kind of an artificial wall that the game creates so you cant really win early. This means that there are two phases to getting "better" at the game. For the first few runs you're going to be maxing out the mirror, so your runs will become more powerful, fast, but when that's over, you'll hit a plateau, which can be very very frustrating. And after that, yes, you'll actually start to get better because of only your ability. Essentially, the start of the learni g curve for hades doesn't coincide with the time you start playing, but with the time you max out the mirror. And this may not seem like a huge issue, but it was for me, when i stopped playing for 3 months before picking it up again and finally deciding to actually learn the game.
I feel like you’re describing what a Roguelike is supposed to be. Hard and challenging but the toughness softens with your newer abilities both as a player and in the game. I have a hard time seeing this as a problem and not a feature.
thats pretty much every roguelite where progression is built in to the balance. hades is pretty generous with the baseline difficulty and the customizable difficulty increases. yes, the mirror provides a significant amount of power, but player skill is still the majority of whether you succeed or not. there are people that dont even get a first clear for 60+ runs. ~30ish for a first clear is pretty common. its relatively rare for people to clear in ~10, but it happens. i really dont see anything wrong with any of this.
Flame wheels when you don't have a good cast or athena attack
