Half expected the first tip to be "Pet! The! Dog!" when the clip started with running up to Cerberus.

Dionysius' trippy shot for your cast and Zeus' to duo it, casts lightening the whole time in the Every time I've had that combo, it didn't matter what else I had, nothing could stand up to it.

Aoife, it's completely because of you I'm gonna start playing this game. You've been incredibly persuasive.

Fantastic guide, well explained, you have learn me alot going in to this game, played before didn't know what i was doing.

Its surprising how much I have enjoyed each weapon. Although the bow with Flurry shot is my favorite boss killer so far.

Nectar is more important than you’ll think. Collecting and gifting nectar is the only way to unlock companions and reach the FINAL ending. Best to start gifting as early as possible!

Tried my first horror game (Dead Space) and now my first Rogue Lite (Hades) all thanks to Game Pass. Thank you Aoife for all the tips to get me started on my Hades journey!

I got Hades on Switch the other month and have been obsessed with it ever since.

"You believe in Bouldy, and Bouldy believes in you."

[crystalo.]

Totally different from the games I usually play, and I love it. Can’t wait to find Thanatos!

[gearoidcotter]

Absolutely love this game on switch, got it a few months ago and still playing it!

[ralphlyf]

I love GamePass cause I missed this on my Switch cause there's only so many game I can spend money on but $15 a month is more appealing for today's day

[xeno-crisis]

I just bought a switch lite and Hades and I'm really enjoying both the console and the game ! I love the characters

[maries]

I tend to not play rogue lite games either, but Hades was so addictive for me. I put so much time into this game on PC, will probably end up trying to platinum it on PS5 so I can experience it again. Thank you for this video, Aoife!

It’s downloading, one thing that made me wanna play it is simply that intro, what a voice

Make sure you sink in the chamber you are in, before you dash and slash your way in. You need to know where the traps are or bombs so you know you can avoid and be aware of them.

Started 2 days ago on game pass loving it!!!!

[bettilopez]

There's no way I'm gonna remember all this, probably gonna have to come back to this one. Good stuff tho' ✌🏼

-Don't invest Darkness in Cthonic Vitality, wait till you get the alternate choice... it heals you whenever you pick up Darkness. And you are gonna need a lot of that anyway.
-Give first Nectar to Skelly, you get an upgradeable extra life from his keepsake. VERY useful in the early game.
-DON'T touch Charon's money bag until you got a hang of the game.
-Fuck the Witches' Circle. Hard.
-Always go for Chaos... stack Chaos to break the game. ^^
-Always go for Eurydice, exclamation mark in Asphodel. €dit: Eurydice>Hermes>Chaos>Hammer
-Try to get complimentary boons (double lightning strikes for example).
-Unless you have unlocked EVERYTHING you can buy, don't sell Ambrosia or Titan Blood. You'd regret it once you know what they unlock.
