Reto, since you didn't get a chance to see Eris' blessing: It made you take 20% more damage, and 5% *more* damage for every room you cleared with the blessing. Eris likes to do a little trolling. She's a funny gal like that. :)
The devs really thought "Hmm this game isn't hard enough for people trying to do a night one win. Lets make it so they literally have to nohit the game at some point.
Damn, -Darren Korb- the Sirens released a banger! Coral Crown is definitely gonna be a hit with the sailors! Truly a song to die for, even if you're already dead!
This is the first game in a while to just show me a character(Scylla, in this instance), and just have me say, "I love this character already." Strap yourselves in gang, this'll be a good series!
you can always tell which hecate is the real one by when she teleports, she has a sort of purple blackish haze around her and the others don’t. at least i think so 😅
I missed out on your first Hades playthroughs but am having a lot of fun watching you tackle this second release! Mainly because I get to learn along side you & am highly enjoy the main character
Honestly super looking forward to this. Been watching your original Hades 1.0 series, since I never actually did. It'll be great to follow along this time. Already feels quite different to the Technical Test. I was gonna like the video anyways, but I did indeed look at the abs.
I'M. SO. FREAKIN. HYPED! Hades is one of the greatest games of all time, and so excited for Hades II to live up to it all over again. So far it looks like it will.
Been holding off watching these till I had a chance to play for myself but super excited to see the runs now. Felt super weird when I did my first run but have been really enjoying it so far
Ayyy let’s go. Been waiting for your video. Already played 3 runs myself and it’s so much fun. I’ll still be watching you. Edit: you can see Eris‘ blessing in your boons. Don’t know if it’s random I had the same blessing twice, only met her twice too though. For me it was 20% more dmg received this encounter +5% after each encounter.
Damn you got all the way to Scylla in your first run, shows how awful I am at this game it took me over 10 runs to get to her and I’ve only beaten her like twice since. Still having fun though but damn am I bad.
I finally bought the game so i can watch this. My viewership will be spotty as i duck out when you reach points where i haven't reached, but I'm so excited!
Feels like Hades 2 wants you to take a bit more time with each fight. In the first game you just spammed double dash into dash attacks and if u had Athena dash you just couldn't die. I'm glad that dodging feels a bit harder in the sequel since it makes mastering the game feel more rewarding
As a viewer it feels like narratively it would be best to start a video with the meta progression then show that progression in action via a new run for a video. I bet you'll have better watch retention if you do so because the pacing of the video is better. I know in this case as your first run that would be awkward but it might be a format to consider going forward. I enjoy the Hades content please keep it coming.
Sirens > Hydra in difficulty _easy_ imo, might change over time as I learn it more but yeeeeah I don't think that will change unless it gets nerfed like Hydra did when more content gets added to smooth the difficulty curve.
@@Retromation I really hope they don't get nerfed. If anything, I want an equivalent to Extreme Measures that makes the fight last longer so I can hear their music more (and because it's a fun fight).
@@grimthefalln129 well I think it's the obvious ones, but can't wait to unwrap the whole story and get all of them) I think we will see a lot of easter eggs) I wonder will there be a Zagreus-themed weapon, or 'aspect' of some sorts. And the other question - how they got these weapons
Hades is great, the metaprogression was always the weakest part to me. They could have said it better, but I don't think it is fully wrong. The game was fantastic and I think people assume that must mean _every part of it wholesale was fantastic,_ which doesn't have to be true.
Actually, there were some depictions of sirens as mermaids in Greece as early as the 3rd century BCE. Notably, the Odyssey never describest hem at all, so later writers and artists depicted them as they saw fit. Bird women were the most common depiction until the Middle Ages though.
"Alright, like the video if you looked at the abs."
Damn, caught me in 4k HD
Honestly, how you gonna call me out like that lol.
Damn i love abs🤤

Hades was how i found your channel 2 years ago so this is amazing for me!
Me too! This was my first video of Reto and I have watched almost every single video since.
same here
Damn, -Darren Korb- the Sirens released a banger! Coral Crown is definitely gonna be a hit with the sailors! Truly a song to die for, even if you're already dead!
@@Cosper79 Yup, the duo is back at it again!
@@Cosper79 It's actually mostly Erin Yvette! she's also amazing in her own way
This is the first game in a while to just show me a character(Scylla, in this instance), and just have me say, "I love this character already." Strap yourselves in gang, this'll be a good series!
Eris was holding her aspect gun, oh boy, then that mean Hecate really does be rocking a machine gun as well
And Nemesis wields her aspect sword. I love details like that
The music during the Scylla fight is INSANE
I think it's a nice touch how when you stun/kill individual characters, their part of the music stops.
"a little bit of the technical test" says the guy who lost several times on purpose to cheat the 5 run limit
The Scylla fight was an absolute banger! 😉
Hestia so much the wine aunt. I love her
Wine aunts are sad people.
The second boss is sooooo cool. Great mechanics and killer music makes for a truly cinematic fight
you can always tell which hecate is the real one by when she teleports, she has a sort of purple blackish haze around her and the others don’t. at least i think so 😅
Almost thought the sound wouldn't be adjusted. Way to stay true to yourself, Reto! So happy we're finally here!
I missed out on your first Hades playthroughs but am having a lot of fun watching you tackle this second release! Mainly because I get to learn along side you & am highly enjoy the main character
YES, from the moment I saw it launched on steam I was waiting for your video
Thank you Hecate, the Ancient Greek lore of magic I didn't know I needed to listen to!
I love it so much! I watched your Hades I playthrough and I'm loving your commentary here so far, explanations are very good.
The sirens music is epic
Honestly super looking forward to this. Been watching your original Hades 1.0 series, since I never actually did. It'll be great to follow along this time. Already feels quite different to the Technical Test. I was gonna like the video anyways, but I did indeed look at the abs.
Reto's so good at video games he literally procced Eris on his first run!
Looking forward to another 100+ episodes of this new Hades 🎉
Hades was the first series I watched on this channel. That took a while lol
I'M. SO. FREAKIN. HYPED! Hades is one of the greatest games of all time, and so excited for Hades II to live up to it all over again. So far it looks like it will.
Been holding off watching these till I had a chance to play for myself but super excited to see the runs now. Felt super weird when I did my first run but have been really enjoying it so far
I was just about to spam comments on your videos to ask when you will play Hades II, but here it is!!!
Drink every time @retromation says “Back It Up” “Chill” or “Gotcha.”
That Scylla song was FIRE
not many channels do hades commentary gud but FINALLY found one
LETSGOO It’s Happening!!!
Hades is one of my favorite games to watch on UA-cam ever. I look forward to Hades 2.
I love that Apollo basically gave you a tactical airstrike
Ayyy let’s go.
Been waiting for your video.
Already played 3 runs myself and it’s so much fun.
I’ll still be watching you.
Edit: you can see Eris‘ blessing in your boons. Don’t know if it’s random I had the same blessing twice, only met her twice too though.
For me it was 20% more dmg received this encounter +5% after each encounter.
The soundtrack is nuts. Absolutely love it! Check out "I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes then Drown You to Death)" (also from hades II and a banger song)
Damn you got all the way to Scylla in your first run, shows how awful I am at this game it took me over 10 runs to get to her and I’ve only beaten her like twice since. Still having fun though but damn am I bad.

Oh this is gonna be awesome!
Hades brought me to your channel and I hope that you cover this one too ^ ^
i think strife cursed you with more enemies? might be voluntary going forward? i would like that.
Really love this so far. It's beautiful and the pacing is good. 😊👍
I did not look at the abs, but I still want to like the video, is that allowed?
I _guess_
Started watching for Gungeon stayed for Hades

Oh gods, I love Hestia.
Second boss almost makes me want to buy the game rn
Lets go, can't wait to see more!
Leave it to reto to find the one move in the game that blows your eyeballs out within the first two seconds of playing XD

Had to like. Definitely looked at the abs
So excited for these videos
______Hades 2______
return of the gods
Not a bad first attempt against the second boss. Which would you say is tougher, the second boss in this game or the Hydra in the first game?
Sirens > Hydra in difficulty _easy_ imo, might change over time as I learn it more but yeeeeah I don't think that will change unless it gets nerfed like Hydra did when more content gets added to smooth the difficulty curve.

35:34 somebody tell me this ain't seraphine voice actress, so similar
Orbital laser build
Eris weapon is the gun that zag use right??
Any idea when it's coming to mac?
😂
@@spiritrealmking9416 I know 😥
Perfect Image seems ripe for Uberrun potential.
Yes Hades 2 love this game
I'm so excited for this game 😁
Fuck, I'm gonna buy this game just for the music aren't I?
HADES HYPE!
Leeettssss goooo!!
When does it come out for console?
This is the early access, so it's gonna be a _long_ while before that happens sadly, only when the game fully releases
So maybe at one point there would be a choice to go down or up similar to isaac
Ok, I didn't prepare for seeing someone with a gun in this game. Also not a fight a against a band...
Hades 2? More like Hades New
Dislike too funny 😡
Hades nuts
@@ryanbaker2762 no
hades BOO … hehe (dora voice)
More like Hades pew pew
did you notice the Eris'es weapon?
it was the railgun right wonder if we'll see the other weapons as well so far only the sword and railgun have appeared
@@grimthefalln129 well I think it's the obvious ones, but can't wait to unwrap the whole story and get all of them)
I think we will see a lot of easter eggs)
I wonder will there be a Zagreus-themed weapon, or 'aspect' of some sorts. And the other question - how they got these weapons
@@MrKZee i think we may meet the people who the aspects belong to like with nemesis and eris
@@grimthefalln129 and this is the #2 aspect in both weapons, so if it's the case than Talos, Chiron, Chaos, Achilles ... i wonder)
@@MrKZee i agree with all except chaos
I looked at the abs… *hits like button*
14:27 anyone who didn’t like the video is a liar
looking straight at those abs
Letting you know 🎉
Holyy moly!!!
So... any particular reason why your playlist is all jumbled up?
hitting "B" for boon info, would have let you see what that "blessing" Eris gave you did.
Is the dark meta progression better than Hades 1 or is it still very poorly done?
can't say yet, if it is the same as the technical test it is a lot better, but I don't know
Hades is great, the metaprogression was always the weakest part to me. They could have said it better, but I don't think it is fully wrong. The game was fantastic and I think people assume that must mean _every part of it wholesale was fantastic,_ which doesn't have to be true.
Retro AND hades 2? Sign me up for brotato 2.0*!
*the reason i subscribed :)
I liked for abs.
I looked so I liked it
already sub tho
❤❤❤
Why are the sirens mermaids? Sirens are birds not fish until the 9th century way past the time of the greek myths
Actually, there were some depictions of sirens as mermaids in Greece as early as the 3rd century BCE. Notably, the Odyssey never describest hem at all, so later writers and artists depicted them as they saw fit. Bird women were the most common depiction until the Middle Ages though.
This game is just begging retro metro to die
