this run was bonkers. walk into a room and hold down the cast key while standing still and watch everything explode

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades game #hades victory screen #my first sub 15. what the hell #both pictures from the same run btw

[zukoandtheoc]

gotta go fast

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades victory screen #the twin fists 19:50 win was my previous record #across both my saves actually. my record on my god mode save is like 21 something #anyway #zag got the zoomies ig #hades game

[zukoandtheoc]

i need for you all to know. i picked up my no-god-mode hades save again after over a year of not touching it and am finally on my way to the epilogue. and its been like four runs and the only god i havent given the invitation to so far is dionysus. this is partially intentional bc i want more time to get more gems to spruce up the house a bit before the party, but also i think its fucking hilarious for dionysus to be super late

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #also in my god mode save i got all the prophecies done and all the keepsakes maxed #AND got the thorn of thanatos achievement #is my recent hades special interest resurgence related to my recent epic the musical special interest resurgence #maybe. #hades spoilers #hades game #having lots of fun tho. might start a hell mode save later. we'll see. #ok byeee tumblr see you sometime

[zukoandtheoc]

went on tumblr to post my latest hades record and immediately got distracted by tumblr

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades game #hi guys. how's it going?

[zukoandtheoc]

hey so i got boons from everyone possible to get boons from

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades game #i didnt even plan this. just found myself exiting the midshop in tartarus to a five god pool #and went. hey. this is an opportunity #highlights include: heroic life affirmation from rare crop but also it got hit by eurydice's ambrosia delight #zeus was the last god i added so he was theseus's aid #AND i rolled into both deadly reversal and merciful end #i wish i'd gotten a screenshot of zeus' dialogue too #i had a yarn of ariadne and he was like ok zagreus im giving you the best ive got so use this power wisely #right after trying to fry me while aiding theseus #that was funny

[zukoandtheoc]

new record with uh. gilgamesh, somehow

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades victory screen #hades spoilers #i had that hammer that restores a tiny bit of health when you kill enemies with the special #and i had put maim on hades without really noticing apparently. cuz he did the lasers and i went to hide and then he just died #and maim counts as special damage so i got some health restored from that lmao #surprised how fast this one went given how long it took to get the build off the ground tbh #hades game

[zukoandtheoc]

wow i beat my previous record by uh. *counts on fingers* 8 seconds!

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades game #hades victory screen #i wasnt even trying to go fast. i just got merciful end as like my third boon #so uh. went vroom #i definitely think the 1% cast damage boost from bouldy carried me though /j

[zukoandtheoc]

first 20 heat win !!

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #hades game #man this was what? my third or fourth attempt at beating 20 heat on the bow? #look at all that cyclops jerky

[zukoandtheoc]

ngl it's kind of unfortunate that meg is by necessity the first boss you have to get past. cuz like, game mechanically speaking, you Will reach a point where you're consistently beating her, you have to in order to make any progress in the game. but your relationship with her is founded on killing each other repeatedly but like, in a sexy way, but by the time you get to the point of romancing her it's probably pretty heavily imbalanced in favor of you killing her

meg should get to kill zag more often is what I'm saying

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #megzag #hades game #idk why i tagged this as my plays hades tag #this is just me musing about stuff I didn't even fight meg today #it was all tisiphone today #she can say my name now

[zukoandtheoc]

what the hell triggers the "dusa gets fuckin fired" arc. i know it's not connected to her relationship arc cuz it's happened at completely different points of that arc in my two different save files. but like... this hits VERY different in the context of, i just told Nyx she can't tell me who I can be friends with, vs the first time that had been well addressed and moved past by the time this arc began

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #dusa hades #hades spoilers #I'm. processing a lot right now #dusa come back

[zukoandtheoc]

i summoned thanatos in a random chamber in elysium bc I was on the brink of death, and he showed up, killed 1 enemy who was already low on health, and left, only for me to die thirty seconds later

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #kind of on me for timing the summon badly but dlfjskfjdldhdj #i panicked ok

[zukoandtheoc]

dusa back :)

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #ok right before this run #not the one right before dusa came back but the one before that #it ended with zag making it to the surface #and the blurb that tells you how he dies was like 'and then he saw a snake and was like oo friend' #which in the context of dusa being away?? heart wrenching yo #anyway hopefully soon she'll do her relationship scene sdfgsdg #ALSO dear persephone please get your shit together #so we can do the dang epilogue #or do i have to start gifting the olympians ambrosia first #hades spoilers

[zukoandtheoc]

also this happened today

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #twas quite funny to see #gotta love it when you got all the cousins together #i picked merciful end ofc

[zukoandtheoc]

DUSA NO

#evan speaks #NOT AGAIN #zukoandtheoc plays hades #BROOO im so sad #I've maxed nectar with her but haven't seen her 'romance' scene yet #DUDE. this hurts SO MUCH WORSE like this #last time this shit happened after exchanging platonic I love yous #so... this is. this hits different. #AAAA #DUSA COME BACK

[zukoandtheoc]

i had an argument with Thanatos about Dusa, proceeded to take Fidi with me on my next run, and then had a Thanatos encounter and I was like... I can't not summon Dusa here

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #me: about to give than an ambrosia #me: wait lets see what he has to say #than: *rude about dusa* #me: ah nvm

[zukoandtheoc]

sure is something to die to the bone hydra and then emerge from the Styx to hear "sing, of Zagreus o muse, slayer of Hydras, first of his name..."

#evan speaks #zukoandtheoc plays hades #i beat Charon but god at what cost
