'Oooga Booga, Spells Go Brr, I Win' - Melinoe | Hades 2

[Groaker]

Odysseus, buddy, our dear Melly is on the record for being bad at reading the room. Asking her for a rousing tale is harder than overcoming the Father of all Monsters.

[vinbingames]

Odysseus: Tell me goddes, what master plan did you use to defeat the beast?

Mel: I just hit it harder and uncle helped.

[underscore]

you should post the followup after mel kills typhon again, where she actually does try to spice up the story

[Narokkurai]

"How did you outsmart that beast?!"

"Oh, I just used my divine might augmented by magic and the combined forces of Mount Olympus. How would you have done it Lord Odysseus?"

"Ah. Well. I suppose with much more strategizing, for a start. But your way works too!"

[persephoneblack]

Hahaha she said "I hit him hard, he go boom" 😂 I love it..

[BlazingShadowSword]

Mel: What if we tried...
Zeus: I swear to me, if you suggest hitting it harder...
Mel: Hitting it harder...
Zeus: *Grrrrn*
Mel: Together?
Zeus: ...whatever.

"How did you outsmart him?"

"I just smashed a bunch of buttons and it eventually worked"

[oreganothankyou]

Imagine telling someone who beat the monster of all monsters "ok butbdo it cooler next time."

[filipemartinho]

I love how uncharismatic (at least comparatively to other characters, especially Zag) Mel is

[ShadowsWrath]

"Well, you see, Odysseus, I figured out something. And it worked."

"What would that be, Goddess?"

"You can't get hit if all the enemy can do is miss. And if you can't get hit, you can't be hurt. And if you can't be hurt...."



"Precisely."

"And how did you manage this? Swiftness? Foresight of incoming attacks to be?"

"I quite literally stacked fate to my favor by using my family's trinkets to chose boons that made it so any incoming hostility would never be allowed to hit me. I did this until it was practically mathematically impossible for anyone who wanted me dead to even touch me, let alone go through the several shields I had in place."

"That unfair."

"Yeah, after dying about a hundred times you eventually stop caring about pride and what the enemy is forced to feel based on your actions and just go with whatever works, to the most broken and lethal degree."

“So how did you outsmart him”
Me after jacking aspect of Pan to max & getting a heroic Apollo on my special with + 4 extra projectiles thanks to a Daedalus hammer and to top it all off, a Dionysus blessing that spawns Grape juice which increases the next hit’s power by a lot which applies to EVERY DAGGER: Just kept hitting him
(By the way he died in under a minute)

[ericjohnson]

I hit him really, really hard and Zeus provided ranged support.

[MrDibara]

"No promises!"
Awwwn, poor thing! 🥹
