I’ve beaten it 4x now, three with shield and once with spear. I find damage is more important to focus on early because you can always pick up 75-100 health on the last 2 levels. Doom is op, combined with the other Ares skill to make doom do 60-100+% more after a few seconds it’s insane. Also look for the special skill chain upgrades, combined with doom the run becomes easy.

Other good skills are the ice ones and the blood rift ones (both cast and dash), hangover is decent but not great unless you can pair it with the skill that that hungover enemies take more damage

only been playing for like 2 hours but yeah already figured this out. had a run with the shield on the special attack with tons of doom stacks so could just whip it out and dash away and killed enemies. i died on the hydra boss though cause it was my first time getting to it and got gibbed not realizing the adds it spawns shield the boss till theyre dead

havent cleared the third hades boss yet, but getting closer

what keepsake are ppl equipping for runs? i’ve been mostly running with dusa’s one for the extra survivability

yeah i can pretty reliably kill the hydra now, unless i get unlucky with lovely boons. come close every time but its hard and elysium levels leave you puny going into the fight

just beat it on run #26. spear with the blast attack special, plus chaos boost to special attack, plus the butterfly trinket, poo poo was melting. the butterfly trinket is super good and to think it will become only stronger once it levels up :stare:

the contractor can build you a thing that lets you swap your keepsake after each act’s boss. i assume that’s what ppl are talking about

ok yeah I have that. didnt know if maybe it let you unlock the ability to equip more as you cleared areas
