hades 2 is so hard, dang. I'm like 50 runs in and haven't escaped once. I think I escaped on my 8th run for the original, jeez.

I can very consistently get to what I assume is the "final boss" (secret or future content I don't know about notwithstanding) but they murder me every last time.

baddies hit way harder in this sequel. it demands a lot more excellence in damage avoidance than 1 ever did, I think.

I dunno if this needs rebalancing or if it's just. intended to be this way. like if they felt the original was too easy? oof ouch owwie

I think in hades 1 I relied a lot on hitting like a freight truck to win and in 2 you just simply are not that powerful and you need to be more careful as a rule. Mel is not as strong as Zag and that's just how it is atm. and I'm awful at it, haha

I agree, bosses in this game just hit so much harder than they did in the first. It feels intentional, but I also think the devs may have accidentally adjusted to "we've been playing this for a long time, so we're really good at it" as a baseline.

This has not stopped me from continuing to play it, because it's still fun as hell.

oh yeah. I've been playing every day, it's really fun! I'm getting a lot closer, but I feel like the final boss is a bit overtuned... I've had some absurdly strong builds where they still just melt my health with a few hits and I lose all of my death avoidances one after the other in quick succession. they just hit SO HARD. The railgun boss too - their patterns are simple but olympus help you if you get hit even the once. it's nuts.

I've managed to beat ol' railguns herself with a stupidly broken build (Heroic Lv. 4 Hephaestus primary attack [2 second cool down :host-nervous: ] on the twin blades), but I still haven't beaten the final boss.

I shudder to think what the Pact of Punishment equivalent is going to look like.
