Chaos boon that does damage might need a rework

[Delta]

I got a chaos pool 2 rooms away from the sirens and all caused me damage if not beating 2 encounters in 120 seconds. I barely beat the sirens in that time but still died because of the boon.

Might just be me but it felt kinda bad having that happen.

I've ran into the same issue, I wish it had a caveat like adding an extra two minutes if you begin a boss fight.

One goofy workaround for future runs, though; Having Armor will absorb the full 500 damage hit without piercing into your health

Yea that’s going to need to get fixed lol. Any chaos that goes it boss fight kind of screws you which maybe there should be like a boss modifier so like it’s less run ending

that's why you don't take chaos gates that close to a boss room unless you know you can handle it

so let me get this straight: you knew the next room is gonna be the boss because the game tells you. you willingly make the decision to take the boon and then you complain that the boss wasnt possible with the boon?

heres a workaround for you: in a roguelike or roguelike: use your brain before picking stuff up. things you picked up screwing you is part of what roguelike games are all about. make good decisions and have some good luck?- awesome build. bad decisions or bad luck? your build is gonna suck, or youre gonna selfkill bc you didnt think about consequences.

This doesn't need to be reworked. It's just the player's choice to take the chaos boon.

What does need to be adjusted is to be able to see what floor you're in. Unless I'm mistaken, Hades 2 doesn't indicate it for some reason.

Yea this would be helpful. You can generally get the vibe that your close to boss but since I am not counting how many rooms it takes it kind of hard to tell exactly. Which normally is fine but I a lot times still a bit surprised when I get to room right before the boss. Thankfully that room is not a fight but it’s still like welp hope what is got it’s enough kind of vibe. If there was easier way to keep track of distance without telling you exactly if your there that would help with planning out some things a bit better like if should go for a armor for boss instead of like trying to get a boon idk

Yeah. Hades 1, you'd know which rooms were the boss fight so you know when you're getting close. But here, I'm obviously not counting. I've no idea if the biomes are comparable size or not either lol.
