Beat Hades two runs in a row. I learned a lot the last few runs. The name of the game is speed, speed, and more speed. Loaded up on Hermes; dash speed and extra movement speed. I ran circles around Hades, and his attacks, even his laser beams I could actually sprint around behind him so they couldn't hit me. I also super leveled up Zeus call to like level 7, so when I conjured him, his strikes did a shit ton of damage and it lasted for 11 seconds. I didn't even die once that run, and it wasn't even a great build. I still haven't beaten Hades with any melee weapon, as I've found the closer you have to get to him, the more he fucks you up. So I've beaten him twice with the rail gun, and once with the bow. I think I'm going to try to level up the shield next, as I like that it can actually block incoming damage.
One thing: once you beat Hades, there's a list of your boons from that run, and some of them you can highlight. I don't know what to do with that. Can anyone please explain?
