[Feedback] Prometheus Full Stage Attacks

[shens_spirit]

I'm having a REALLY hard time trying to remember what sections of the stage Prometheus is going to put on fire, especially in his second and third phases and was wondering if anyone else was having this issue? I honestly feel like I could maybe take him down if I didn't mix up/forget the several sections.

Say it out loud.

It worked great for me in a hacking minigame in Shadowrun: Hong Kong which is way harder than what we have in Hades 2.

I've tried that and even tried writing them down too but I mix them up still T.T

Along with saying it loud, what works for me is keeping it simple like: UP UP MID DOWN UP.

Just one short word with the order I have to remember. It's also important to remember the first one, because if you get hit at the very first wave, you get nervous and it's hard to remember the rest.


He has only two stages, actually. One with three waves and another with five.

The first one is easy and you may only need to remember two instead of three. By that I mean that you can already move to the first safe spot and then remember the last two.

The second stage can be trickier because there may be summon around that distract you, put you off position and so on.

I doubt this mechanic will be removed, but it should be nerfed for either only three sequences instead of five, or make the damage way less (like 50 instead of 150).

I vocalize 4 of them and visualize the last one.

I also try to keep the first one flexible so I might change it depending on the second. So if the first attack is EITHER top or bot, I wait for the second so I can double first and second, for example.
1st: EITHER top or bot
2nd: bot
Then, in my mind I automatically make them: BOT, BOT

I don't normally have an issue, but when there's 3 enemies I need to fight while I'm supposed to remember those lanes it's impossible for me

[MONGREL INTRUDER]

remembering it can be tough because if something throws you off you might lose the thought and get hit by a few. i've found that just timing your dash upwards into the wave is much safer since you just learn the one timing no memory required and the hitbox is only active for a few frames

[Songbird]

Do not try to memorize where the attack is. Memorize where the safe zones are, and say them aloud. If you try to memorize where the attack is, you create a lot of extra complexity for yourself when you need to remember where to actually position.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who said the words out loud to remember "up, mid, mid, down, up" for the clear way. of course.. invulnerability could also work or really really good with dash timings.
i say invulnerability because i distinctly remember using wolf howl to avoid one or two of them when i panicked. reminds me of the game: simon says almost honestly.

It really is just simon says. i just remember each space as a number, so bottom right is 1, top left is 3, and i just remember a number that is safe on each attack. (ex. 3 1 2 1) and the first number i just stand on at the start. So you're really just remembering 4 numbers. I thought it was a nice easy way to remember where safety is

[Shard]

I usually stay in the safe zone of the first attack, then for subsequent attacks I memorize whether I am supposed to go up or down.

So I might stay at the bottom for the first attack, then memorize 'stay, up', or be at middle, then go 'down, up'.

If I forget (sometimes happens with the 2nd part which is 5 instead of 3 attacks, so have to memorize 4 steps instead of 2), I just try to I-frame dash through the fire. Works sometimes.

Ah, this makes so much sense I can't believe I haven't been doing it. Thank you!

[Ebbings]

I think that whole encounter needs to be nerfed, honestly. Still haven't beat him over 50%. I find that combat phase rather difficult as well.

[ToastiChron]

I just dodge them. The invincibility frames just makes it a rhythm game.

It really is Simon says. I didn't realize anyone had issues with this past the first time they saw it. (I didn't realize it was Simon says)

One time it freaked out on me real bad and I get flashbacks since. Can't even tell what happened, so how am I to report it?
