Would be nice if boon list can be accessed when choosing boons

[Limesqueezer]

Hi.
I really like going for doing boons.
The only thing is that when inside the menu for choosing 1 of 3 boons, you can't open the family journal where you can see all gods and their respective boons.
Please give me a button to list that stuff haha.
Also maybe give an indicator. Like maybe I can pin a duoboon I want and the prerequisites for it are highlighted when the choice presents itself.

I think this is gonna happen sooner than later, it was available in H1 and it was a key piece of the game imo

Its an incantation. Forgot what unlocks it tho

[Ruuubick]

For anyone reading this later, this incantation is unlocked by gifting to all the main gods (AFAIK it's the ones that give you a trinket that says "increases the chances for a X trinket and allows to rarify"

This is the kind of thing that reeaaaaaally should not be locked.
Well, nothing should, but this one is particularly obvious.
The design philosophies of roguelites are... primitive.

It's a game genre that is literally based around repetition and unlocks...wtf you on about?

They are adding artificial replayability by locking tons of stuff behind grind.
Even very basic stuff like information, as this thread is about.
Makes you wonder what's going on inside the dev's little heads.

Yeah, the problem is that this stuff locks information that is available on the wiki. So instead of displaying the information for smooth gameplay, a player who wants that info is gonna have to use an external site for it. It's not really *hiding* anything, it just makes access clunkier. I had the same problem with the "love-meters" for each npc, but that information unlocks way too late for such basic information.

By that logic you could just read the story in wiki as well instead of playing and grinding 30+ hours...

Ya'll know boon info in Hades 1 menu wasn't available at game start and needs to be unlocked... right?

There is no option to enter list while choosing boons.

The whole roguelite subgenre is built on artificial grind.

Press up on dpad....or was it left lol

[Fire walk with me]

Left is current loadout. Up is ingame wiki.

[Maryskowo]

Dpad up/down is moving you around boons to choose. Dpad left opens menu with your current list of boons. Dpad right does nothing. Op talks about journal where you can check requirements for boons you need to hit duo or legendary. Try better with your triple dots... lol
