In his first phase, I usually kill the mobs first. After that he is generally pretty harmless. He usually makes one attack and then gives you an opening. It's telegraphed and if you have sound on you'll hear him grunt. So you should be able to use those openings to get him down to 50%. Around 50% he will change from making one attack to three attacks. So keep that in mind. Other than that it's the same. Dodge the three attacks, all telegraphed, then attack in the opening.
Then he goes into his second phase. Chronos himself I find easier in this phase, but his mobs can be annoying if you don't have a good build to deal with them. Here it's pretty much the same. It helps if you have some good range to free hit him for when he does the attack where you have to stand in a small circle.
If you're really struggling. Try and get the Hex that heals you and upgrade it. If you're lucky, you can get an upgrade that lets you hoard the charges on it. I think one time I entered Chronos with like 16 charges of it. So I could just kept spam healing myself every time I got hit. It also helps if you have the Arcana that recharges your Hex automatically. Also upgraded if you can.
go to a corner charge a skill wait for him to show up within your range then release then dash/sprint to the other corner. rinse and repeat. it's just that easy. 2nd phase is kinda tricky but just patience till you see an opening then attack.
on that note, just make sure you have a decent range attack.
I beat him with just about 300-400 damage on my range attack.
Wanted to use right click for 2 runs but changed it to left click with good offerings and did it first try.
16 nights here.
I'd say get more DD and health + some damage mitigation.
Knuckle Bones from Ody shave off a good chunk of the first phase too, can couple with one of Hades' gifts.
He has quite a few stationary moves, so you can build into Cast for free damage.
If you get hit with spinning throw attack a lot, look for Hermes' boon that gives you a shield during sprint.
It does feel that way, but it is like this.
He makes the whole screen go dark except for a circle that you must stand in or instant die. He stays still whilst doing this so go to circle then unload all ranged abilities. He does another variant of this later in the fight with two safe circumferences instead of a circle, but same gist applies.
He does his combos from the first phase, but they actually appear shorter and less threatening. Just dodge away whenever he winds up as he does not throw the staff in this phase until he is almost dead AFAIK.
He makes the floor go dark and a circle shrinks in towards him. You just have to dash over the line of this circle, but can otherwise move freely (honestly this move effed me up for ages because I thought it was instant kill like the other one if you went outside the circle).
He makes hands appear on the clock. Just avoid them.
He summons hourglasses is a clockwise pattern at about half health. Make it a priority to focus them down.
I think there's more but the second phase is actually easier than first phase IMO. He is less mobile and not randomly throwing out the staff which I suck at dodging lol.
I'm pretty sure I could beat him consistently now. But my recommendation for someone who can't dodge him is to look for Selene's healing boon and try to unlock the buffs for it. Especially the one that gives you extra heals at fountains. In my last fight with Chronos, I was able to heal over 17 times.
I am rather mediocre at the game, but a simple axe build with apollo based standard attack damage increase + relevant boons (daedalus upgrades for the single attack, Crit increase, dodge etc.) literally allowed me to facetank almost everythhing in the game after the first act, all the way to Chronos. He only managed to pull the big oneshot attack in phase two once.
Remember, you can switch your accessory on every level, so you can cheese to get the boons you need, and then use the Narcissus one to upgrade any remaining part of the combo to much better rarity. Chances are, you'll be doing this for whatever boon you use for dodge.
And i even wasted 10+ runs without knowing I could upgrade arcana cards prior to an incantation, because the gamepad would not move the cursor/box all the way to the right part of the screen for you to use Psyche to upgrade grasp (on super ultrawide resolution)
