    Man, 2nd guardian is a tough fight! Maybe I’m still too early game for it, or maybe I just need to hit gud. They hit like moose though. Had a build with serious damage but still too squishy.

    Makes me nervous to see what’s yet to come!

      Agreed. It took me a significant number of runs to get past. Though to be fair I also kept getting distracted by their songs.

      It’s like H1 though, it’s all about upgrading your Arcana. I was stuck on Asterius and the clown until I figured the mirror out.

        Oh yeah, definitely still trying to unlock more cards for better synergy. I was dummy and like, misunderstood how the 0 cost cards worked so made some foolish purchases.

        Only a matter of time…

          I still haven’t got my head round the cards tbh, it’s a hell of a lot more involved than the mirror. You really do have to think about the build you’re going for, then plan the cards accordingly.

          It’s not like switching Gods Favour on and off on the mirror, you really have to consider what you can live without.

          That said, I’m finding that the effect of limiting your choices has a far greater effect on your gameplay than the mirror did. It’s really interesting.

          I’m not seeing as huge an effect on gameplay with the weapon aspects yet? Outside of maybe one or two which do drastically change it imo. I’m still kind of feeling like that’s more to do with my lack of understanding of the weapons maybe.

            The dodge/sprint mechanic has taken some getting used to as well. Definitely need to be less aggressive than I was with Zag. Then again, maybe I’m just used to end game Zag…

            So far I’ve been grabbing whatever weapon is hungry for bones, then configuring cards to play style that seems best. In short, usually focused on whether or not I’m up close and personal, or kiting while keeping distance.

            Man, feels so good getting to experience a Hades for the first time again. SuperGiant doesn’t miss
