Something of a tip for that Elysium boss fight. There's pillars all around the arena and Thesius spear can't ho through them, so you can hide behind one when you see he's going to throw it
Really glad you are using the Heart Seeking Bow ( well Coronacht now ) since you only used it once and didn't even make it past Hydra with it . This build you are making now is really fun . Please don't skip the chambers , just like Dark Souls , 50 % of the fun is the run itself . There is nothing more satisfying than completing a chamber , getting it's reward and then choosing a new one .
To answer your question: It's fun seeing you clearing rooms and making decisions along the way. If you want to make supercuts or shorts of these episodes narrowed for each build/run as an additional thing, that might be a nice way to bring in more viewers to your channel. But personally I really like these 1-hour episodes relatively uncut and would be sad if you started trimming away gameplay.
Hi there Kavisharodrigo - I don't currently do any livestreaming, but it's something I'm seriously considering doing some of this year. I love the fact you want more content, that's awesome to hear. :-)
You made some comments about not seeing Theseus' target in time. I don't know if it's just episode delay, or if you didn't see my comment on episode 13, but Theseus' spear throw has a second tell: a kind of whirring, "woo-woo-woo" sound. Just keep an ear out for that and you'll know the attack is coming without having to look for the target in all the visual chaos. Near the back of the Elysium arena, there's a single shade hanging out a red Zagreus banner. You should go say "hi"! In my own playthrough, I did actually spend a few runs farming diamonds and blood from the store in the Temple. By taking a fully-leveled Coin Purse (150 gold at the start of the run), maxing out Golden Touch from the Mirror (increase your gold by 15% at the end of each region), taking as many Gold reward rooms as possible, and pretty much never spending money, I could reliably get to the Temple with enough money to buy whichever boss item showed up. Is that the best - or even the most fun - way to get those items? No. But, it is _a_ way :) So, where you find the Sack in the Temple is weighted random. You'll never find it in the first door you choose, then you'll have a roughly 50% chance to find it in the second door, 30% in the third door, etc. Man, that final chamber down your first door was rough, and I could really feel the pain on your face when it was all over! Don't stress over it, you'll get it! I'm glad you noticed that you can destroy REDACTED's bombs. Given how much there is to keep track of during that fight, destroying them as soon as possible can help reduce the cognitive load. If you get hit by one, I don't believe it does any damage, but it afflicts _you_ with Boiling Blood for the duration, which _doubles_ any damage you take! Privileged Status can be _extremely_ rewarding (20% per level is crazy!), but you have to be careful to set it up well (usually one status god on primary and another on secondary, though dash can work too. Some gods do statuses directly, and the rest have "level 2" boons that add things like Jolted or Exposed). Family Favorite is much less rewarding, but it's also totally automatic! The Broken Spearpoint is excellent for Styx. Since most of the damage is small-but-recurring (poison, lasers, little rat bites), the Spearpoint can give you that extra moment to get out of a bad situation and avoid a bunch of damage. A lot of people like the Acorn for Styx' boss - his attacks have a base damage of 30, and a level 3 Acorn will block 5 hits, so theoretically it can be worth more health than either the Collar or the Tooth. Just make sure you don't waste an Acorn charge getting hit by one of the little enemies he summons ... The best way to get an intuitive sense for Distant Memory's "distant foes" requirement is to shoot at Skelly a bunch. But, you can also think of it as being the size of your fully charged Spin attack with your spear, or a little further than how far the Spear's primary reaches. My own preference would be to keep the entire video and not trim it down. The Bow's dash-attack charges faster but does less damage. And, don't forget about the extra damage from a properly timed Power Shot (not that you have that option at this point in the run, of course). I really enjoyed the aspect of the bow you're currently using. One of my most memorable runs was after I'd maxed out the aspect (getting up to 8 arrows for the Special) and then got a Hammer upgrade that gave me 4 more 😁 The "load your cast into your arrow" aspect is also a lot of fun, especially with some of the weirder casts like Dionysus's Trippy Shot or Aphrodite's Crush Shot. It's also a lot of fun with the alternate Mirror boon that only gives you 1 Bloodstone but makes it come back after a few seconds (especially with a Chaos boon to get an extra Bloodstone!) Even with the Bow, don't forget to use your Cast since lodged Bloodstones afflict the enemies with Boiling Blood and grant you extra damage. You've got a pretty sweet build, and things are going well so far! Looking forward to seeing how far you can get this time
Absolutely fantastic list of tips here RealNazrax, thank you. I'm doing my best to remember all these after each video, but I'm sure I'll forget some - so I apologize up front...lol. Oh, and I also give an explanation at the beginning of the next video (which just dropped for Members) which should answer your first line comment. I got stupid far ahead in this playthrough, recording 5 episodes in 1 night...lol.
@@BenjamightGaming Oh, I know, firehose :) I was just a bit worried about the episode 13 comments because you spoil us by reacting to all our comments, and you didn't react to that one (not that you're under any obligation to - it's just unusual)
@RealNazrax Oh wait... I'm not sure I saw that one... let me go digging, because it sounds like UA-cam hasn't alerted me to one of your comments. Sorry about that. UPDATE: That's really weird RealNazrax... I'm not showing a comment from you under Part 13? I checked my 'held for review' section too, but nothing there. It would appear it's been lost in Hades itself...lol.
@@BenjamightGaming Huh. If I look at part 13 while logged in, I see my comment; but if I look at it in an incognito window, it's not there. I just spent way too long fighting UA-cam trying to get my comment to show up ... I finally split it into 2 comments that seem to be working, and even then there were a couple of inconsequential things I needed to cut to stop them from disappearing. Ah, well.
@@RealNazrax lol - RealNazrax vs. UA-cam Comment Section... always an impressive showdown. ;-) I see some new comments from you popping up, I'll be sure to head over there and check them out.

Fantastic feedback Ghost, thank you. I had a feeling most people would prefer the full runs, and it's nice getting some confirmation. :-)
Would you ever be doing live streams? or longer videos haha. We need more content
