Not to be a backseat gamer, but Skelly's keepsake The Lucky Tooth gives you an extra death defiance. You can just switch to it after beating Asterius and Thesius to guarantee an extra death defiance for Stix. It doesn't give you a ton of health until its upgraded, but it's probably the best one you have unlocked so far.
"no one CARES about you hermes" ohhh that hurt my soul. hermes is my best friend, he’s my pal, he’s my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy
Hey even if he got them its very likely merciful would just have not turned up anyways. That things infamous in the speedrunning community because it just never shows up XD
@@scar7411 my fav combo is hyper sprint (temp +100% speed boost) + rush delivery (bonus damage based on move speed). With weapons that rely on dash strike it’s amazing
@scar7411 my favorite combo is aspect of zagreus twin fists, lambent plume, and any of his dodge upgrade boons the higher rarity the better this build once you get to hades on average you have about 50% dodge chance and it is all around just makes it harder to die or take damage
@@TMTGD Well yeah but that’s what a lot of the keepsakes are there to be. Crutches. Vases drop food, extra max heath, basically ensure your favorite god for your first boon. And honestly especially for Lucky Tooth using it doesn’t prevent you from getting better, it’s better at being a training wheel than a god boon magnet is
Very interested in this, loved the first video. Also, just saying it before I watch, since I see it in the comments. What makes Hermes so great (at least to me) is that he has quite possibly the most broken boon combos and unique stats in the game. The come is specifically the Hyper Delivery combo (Hyper Sprint which grants a massive speed boost on dashing and damage reduction + Rush Delivery which turns additional movement speed into damage), which effectively doubles or nearly doubles all your damage globally as long as you keep sprinting (which most people agree you should be doing anyways, especially if you play aggressive or use a melee weapon/playstyle), essentially making every hit almost equivalent to a crit with the ability to further stack WITH crits. The other boon worthwhile in my opinion is Greater Evasion, as if you can get it high enough, evasion is the most broken stat in the entire game that allows you to straight up ignore up to potentially 100% of damage when stacked with other sources of evasion, of which, there are only two other sources. So basically the Hermes dream is being a hyper boy running with double damage on all attacks, and nigh-invulnerability. Also he has good boons for cast builds, but I don't mess with those anymore.
It’s honestly refreshing seeing a new players perspective on this amazing game. I’ve played this game so much I forgot half the stuff you experience early on in the play through. So it’s nice to relive most of this stuff again, especially since playing the open beta of the second game.
Dude, I think most of us wish we could go back and play that game again for the first time. So nice to be able to get close to that seeing it through your eyes!
It's so funny how so many people didn't mesh with the spear. I unlocked it, used it once, and then never picked up a different weapon until well after defeating Hades with it. XD
Wtf dude, coming to your channel I just realized how many of your videos I’ve watched because of the red bars…and less than 20k subs??? That’s insane. This is most def top tier content. Please keep up the great work! It will be greatly recognized
Insanely good video, watched some yesterday and the rest today. Your video style is great and the quality is the same as many really big youtubers. You're gonna make it on this platform.
i knew you wouldnt leave zagreaus be like that, you had to come back to let him see his mother more XDDD. les goooooooo. i enjoy this series. well done
Love these videos! Hades and Dead Cells are two of my favourite games and always enjoy content around them. In Hades, the spear and the gloves were my ultimate favourite weapons.
I love all the games you’ve played so far. I literally picked dead cells back up cuz of you and played dicey dungeon for the first time and I’m having a blast. I love the content and everything keep it up 👍
for the future in the last run there was much wasted dmg potential but still it was great, for the unga bunga explanation of the boon duo boon that you got from zeus and artemis: cast crystal stays on the floor big dmg dealt around
Not for nothing, but Hermes gives you some fire upgrades that will absolutely help you. Don’t discount what he brings to the table. Also, don’t discount Poms. You heavily Pom up a single boon, maybe two over the course of a run, and your 50% attack buff becomes a 120% attack buff by endgame.
Great job! I would take a run to work on dashing and movement, so you can get used to the i-frames, especially in the Hades Fight. The ground waves and a bunch of other attacks can be avoided by a well timed dash.
The fact that the game is basically Zagreus fighting his way through hell again and again just so he can spend a few moments with his mom is kinda wholesome.
Heads up for future, the cursed slash Daedalus upgrade is probably THE BEST upgrade for the sword. The bonus max health you pick up makes up for the 60 percent decrease and when you think about how much you attack the +2 healing EVERY HIT will make up for almost all the damage you take in a given room, if you're decent at dodging between attacks. It's not great late game but it is good for a normal run as far as surviving.
I just got the game a few days ago but I haven't even beaten Hades yet. Farthest I've gotten is to Theseus and the Minotaur. And I will say you are definitely better at this game than I am because I'm way past 19 escape attempts
I bought the game lat last night because it was on sale, I've never played a rouge-like before, but I think this unironically became my favorite game, I usually get upset about dying in games, but, I've never once got frustrated at the game yet
oh boy this video hurts my souls sm. the non usage of skelly's keepsake, the hermes slander, and the lack of appreciation for athena's dash (in thr beginning at least) pains me. screaming crying and throwing up rn
19:46 oh gods, my brain is allready thinking in hades 2. I was like "why don't you just sprint to him" and then I remembered that you can't do that in hades 1. 😅
Just so you know Hermes has some of the best boons in game. He is like the Hammer of the gods. You can get a chance to get his boons 2 or 4 times a game I think. I'm 220hrs in H2 rn, but it is the same in 2.
Also like you asphodel, and the Hydro where my wall. Specifically because I am blind I had to learn to move towards sounds when clearing rooms. And you can understand the lava and enemies being tough. Like I said in my previous comment Athena, and Aries were my best god cousin friends
For the first time ever watched the whole hour vid without even clicking the skip button even once that's right I didn't clicked it even once Pretty big deal for me though Nice man it was fun
Babe new mint muffled vid dropped (I love your vids and can’t wait to see a slime rancher 2 vid you should also try to 100 percent both spelunky games)
LOVEDDDDD THIS VIDEO!!! HADES IS MY FAVORITE GAMEEEE, just one thing, stop the slander on my boy Hermes, second thing tho PLEASE USE THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS THEY ARE THE STRONGEST PART OF THE GAMEEEE. The builds you can do with some are crazy, for example, I saw you accidentally unlocked Charon aspect bow, try using that with Dioyunus special, it goes hard
The title of this video is literally me trying to beat Hades at least once. Context completely blind individual technology is how I'm typing this comment. Had little vision growing up and fell in love with video games. Was introduced to Hades after being completely blind for 7 to 8 years and I fell in love with it. God mode makes it like a puzzle for me and I was able to beat Hades when I got to him for the first time simply because I decided to use the shield Aries on my special, Athena Dash. So tell people if a blind man can beat Hades much like Sisyphus and his ever eternal struggle to push a boulder only for it to go back to the bottom of the hill. It is possible
26:30 “Hermes doesn’t deliver”
Gives him one of the best possible boons in the game(hyper sprint)
7:26 He cant keep getting away with this!
FRRR 🙏
i could not be happier that this video is over an hour long. just got done with it. no notes had the time of my life!!

Honestly seeing him beat Hades without it is mad impressive, I know I had the tooth as a crutch for the longest time in my first runs
It takes a bit to be able to switch inbetween areas as you cant at the start.
When I did my first playthrough of hades I did hell mode and broken spearpoint carried me so hard
"no one CARES about you hermes" ohhh that hurt my soul. hermes is my best friend, he’s my pal, he’s my homeboy, my rotten soldier, my sweet cheese, my good time boy
too bad he got his legs chopped off by some angry son of zeus
hermes is my goat man that hurt to hear.
i was crying when the first run that got to styx had all the requirements fulfilled for merciful end but he never got another ares or athena boon
To make up for it he then got the (second) best possible hammer combination for the spear😂
Hey even if he got them its very likely merciful would just have not turned up anyways. That things infamous in the speedrunning community because it just never shows up XD
Don’t you dare say that Hermes has nothing of value he has some amazing boons
He can definitely make or break a run at times
which one of his boons are good , i am new so i dont know
@@scar7411 Extra dash, or anything that gives speed cause he has a boon that gives extra damage if you have a speed boost.
@@scar7411 my fav combo is hyper sprint (temp +100% speed boost) + rush delivery (bonus damage based on move speed). With weapons that rely on dash strike it’s amazing

The "to be continued" in the end made me sooooo happy
i would absolutely love a full 100% play through of this game where you get all the affinity with each character and get the true ending
The non-usage of Skelly’s tooth is driving me INSANE😂
@@nikki607 it’s actually a good thing it can be a crutch
@@TMTGD Well yeah but that’s what a lot of the keepsakes are there to be. Crutches. Vases drop food, extra max heath, basically ensure your favorite god for your first boon. And honestly especially for Lucky Tooth using it doesn’t prevent you from getting better, it’s better at being a training wheel than a god boon magnet is
@@TMTGD are poms a crutch? are duo boons a crutch? are any of the other keepsakes a crutch? is any upgrade at all a crutch? what a stupid take.
I really liked the pacing here. The runs felt neither under- nor over explained, and they flowed well from one to the next :)
Loved your “first try” Hades video, really helped feed my Hades brainrot from playing 2 so much. Great videos dude!

I'd love to see more Hades in the future but for now keep up the awesome content! You're seriously underrated
Not Mint literally dropping a 1h15 movie, colossal work. What a good video as well!
It’s honestly refreshing seeing a new players perspective on this amazing game. I’ve played this game so much I forgot half the stuff you experience early on in the play through. So it’s nice to relive most of this stuff again, especially since playing the open beta of the second game.
Commenting for engagement. Your Dicey Dungeons video made me start a fresh file and im having a blast.
W
Oh damn he's played that. know what I'm watching next I guess.
Only comment if it's relevant to the video. Otherwise, keep it to yourself. Do not spam.
Love to see the Hades movie in full effect here. I think you absolutely killed it brother!
Is anyone gonna tell him that he could have used the lucky tooth for an extra death defiance ☠️
51:37, the music there is literally called "Battle against a true hero", which perfectly fits the fight.
Ew, why he doesn't use Hades musics? Ew
@@KhoiV ok, but battle against a true hero is still a banger
@@attyboy151 it is, but like, ew, why. I mean, ??? Huh? U know? Just. What? Ew
@@KhoiV ...ok?
@@KhoiV you need a thesaurus

the amount of shock i felt from him pulling a duo boon in his FOURTH RUN and NOT CHOOSING IT BECAUSE HES NOT SOLD ON POMS is insane
Wtf dude, coming to your channel I just realized how many of your videos I’ve watched because of the red bars…and less than 20k subs??? That’s insane. This is most def top tier content. Please keep up the great work! It will be greatly recognized
The amount of Hermes slander in this video is unbelievable. Justice for our boy!
Insanely good video, watched some yesterday and the rest today. Your video style is great and the quality is the same as many really big youtubers. You're gonna make it on this platform.
I love the music choices.❤
excellent editing and taste my man.
The way you sneaked in that "Fighting Against a True Hero" ❤
My first win was a Doom build with the fists. Getting a hang of the weapons was definitely what kept me back as well for a bit.
i knew you wouldnt leave zagreaus be like that, you had to come back to let him see his mother more XDDD. les goooooooo. i enjoy this series. well done
Definitely have a soft spot for this kind of story. Will be 100%ing lol
Your music choices are *chef’s kiss*
The Undertale song "battle against a true hero" at 51:50 is very fitting. Enjoyed the video 😊
Love these videos! Hades and Dead Cells are two of my favourite games and always enjoy content around them. In Hades, the spear and the gloves were my ultimate favourite weapons.
I have 100% hades and still play it to this day, it so much fun watching new players stumble they're way through the underworld, great video :D
Yesss! Always a good day when you post 🔥🔥
Super happy for a new video. Hope your channel continues to grow!
You choice of music indicates a good taste in games :)
Love this video and experiencing you experience the games reveals like I did. Took me back to when I was learning the game!
I personally recommend hermes boons. They give you various buffs and help out a lot in my opinion. I love the determination! Keep it up!
"I ran through all the weapons"
*Cries in lack of spear*
"Oh wait, I didn't use the spear"
*Hopes go up*
**Only uses thrust**
I love all the games you’ve played so far. I literally picked dead cells back up cuz of you and played dicey dungeon for the first time and I’m having a blast. I love the content and everything keep it up 👍
for the future in the last run there was much wasted dmg potential but still it was great, for the unga bunga explanation of the boon duo boon that you got from zeus and artemis: cast crystal stays on the floor big dmg dealt around
Great vid my guy. would love to see you go for 32 heat. it really forces you to learn the ins and outs of the game. Keep it up!
Someone should tell the guy that second aspect of the bow is a freaking cheat code x)
Love you buddy ❤
Not for nothing, but Hermes gives you some fire upgrades that will absolutely help you. Don’t discount what he brings to the table. Also, don’t discount Poms. You heavily Pom up a single boon, maybe two over the course of a run, and your 50% attack buff becomes a 120% attack buff by endgame.
What a great vid. Just a let's play, so simple, so elegant, so fun.😁😁😁😁
59:24 Perfect description of both characters xD
Awesome vid. Hope you keep playing more!
Good stuff. It took me 19 tries as well. I enjoyed the spear as my main. Glad you finally took him down...lol
i really enjoyed the first video in this series and now after the second one i had to sub looking forward to more 🤗
Bro i realy love your videos keep going ❤️
This video was really good! subscribed ^^
Looking forward to the next Hades video!!
O YEA! mint just posted😎 Great quality vids dawg
Great job! I would take a run to work on dashing and movement, so you can get used to the i-frames, especially in the Hades Fight. The ground waves and a bunch of other attacks can be avoided by a well timed dash.
Nananah but now you need 100% the whole game with all achievements, all keepsakes, beating the game on max heat, and completing the whole fated list.
"I got so many arms, people might call me Vishnu" 😂😂
New sub! Love it, first vid to watch and not regretting pressing on your video brother
I CANNOT believe you went through Euridice's room and didn't mention her song
The fact that the game is basically Zagreus fighting his way through hell again and again just so he can spend a few moments with his mom is kinda wholesome.
Hades 2 just dropped a bit ago I would LOVE to see some videos on that game!!!

an hour?! mint hath blessed us
NEVER sleep on the spear >:(
I love these longer how may times to take to win, the dead cells one is what made me realize I like them.
Hermes hyper sprint boon is op and it honestly makes him one of my fav gods
Oh and casts are very helpful! Dont want to spoil the effects various gods have for it, but one of my favorite boons is a cast boon
Just finished watching this and 30 mins later I beat bone hydra 1st try on my 1st day playing, thank you for the knowledge 😂
I bought the game lat last night because it was on sale, I've never played a rouge-like before, but I think this unironically became my favorite game, I usually get upset about dying in games, but, I've never once got frustrated at the game yet
I have beat hades but this just makes me want to go back and start from nothing again
IMA BUST, HADES, AND AN HOUR VIDEO, AND GREAT CONTENT? BEST DAY EVER!
Mother Nyx mothering. Also you got me itching to start a new save file
You will grow to love Hermes. Just wait.
Great video Mint!
oh boy this video hurts my souls sm. the non usage of skelly's keepsake, the hermes slander, and the lack of appreciation for athena's dash (in thr beginning at least) pains me. screaming crying and throwing up rn
Yo the battleblock theater music goes so hard
I literally clicked on this video just to make sure that I was not bad a hades when I started.
You may tjink youbgave beateb the game, but your journey has only just begun (it's well worth it)
19:46 oh gods, my brain is allready thinking in hades 2. I was like "why don't you just sprint to him" and then I remembered that you can't do that in hades 1. 😅
I love how you don’t like chaos and Hermes and they are considered that you need a minimum of 2 of their boons for a good run.
Fantastic video, no notes, but how dare you call Thanatos a twink, look at his muscles! XD
That was an awesome video, and dude if you really like roguelikes/roguelites you should play Risk of rain 2 I'm sure you'll love it
Just so you know Hermes has some of the best boons in game. He is like the Hammer of the gods. You can get a chance to get his boons 2 or 4 times a game I think. I'm 220hrs in H2 rn, but it is the same in 2.
Pretty excited for the new muffled drop
the king has returned to deliver us peak
21:10 ooooh battleblock theater music❤
oh didn't catch that one.
I hated that you weren’t using Skelly’s tooth, IT GIVES YOU AN EXTRA LIFE!!!!!!
Hermes has some of the best boons in the entire game man.
Also like you asphodel, and the Hydro where my wall. Specifically because I am blind I had to learn to move towards sounds when clearing rooms. And you can understand the lava and enemies being tough. Like I said in my previous comment Athena, and Aries were my best god cousin friends

The ending gets me every time T^T
I was tryna beat hades for the first time myself before watching this video and i beat it today so i can finally watch it
OUR KING HAS RETURNED
Brother the shield is always the one
Since you're such a fan of critical hit builds, I highly recommend you use Nemesis Aspect on the sword
