Elysium Boss

[Guffmaw]

This boss is legit making my blood boil, they ruin my run every single time.

Any tips?

[Washing Machine]

Hide behind the pillars, split them up, kill the bull first.

Best tip that i can think of is to have a lot of damage, and kill the bull first and avoid taking damage ^^

Probably building wrong then, my damage is so weak time i get to this boss.

Or you haven't unlocked things like aspects and all the mirror upgrades and stuff yet, and don't know what boons to go for with which weapons. That boss fight will get much easier, just keep playing.

Lol @washing machine....

It depends on the weapons, the hammers and the boons you get during your run...

My very first advice if you can easily go through tartare and asphodel is to choose a keepsake that will increase your dmg or your evasion. Having a specific build is good too but it depends on your playstyle..

If you're playing slowly i recommand Shield, Spear, Bow in that order, and what washing machine said seems legit.
If you like to mash buttons fist and sword and gun is just about tempo against their attack ( when to dash when to attack) and i like to hit them simultanously but i have the boons for it.

Losing one or two lives on them until you have max out the miror or at least one aspect is perfectly legit and espacially if you don't play with butterfly. Never hesitate to buy chiron well items.

I go for the annoying dude first personally. The minotaur is easy to avoid and the spear dude always retreat, leaving him open, after a spear throw. So you can wait for his spear throw and go in for couple attacks and dash out. I always get the hardest/annoying thing first and then can relax while taking on the minotaur alone.

After a while you get the flow of the fight, it's def a step up from the bone hydra though. You'll get it eventually (also the mirror upgrade helps a lot, starting with 100 hp instead of 50 is pretty handy)

I dunno how i can max out a aspect when you need to win the game to get more blood, or maybe i misunderstand how to get more of them after the initial first boss clear with a weapon.

[Madmanx]

Obviously i will only make futur runs easier and you will have to beat them without it. Once you beat them you will get a chance to acquire some on the next level, you can also trade in the house but it's a bad deal unless it's in the special offer. Focus on the miror at start, having better boons will definitly help

This is pretty much the easiest way to do it, though other strategies can work. Theseus can be virtually ignored as long as you stay away from him, since you can duck behind pillars any time the target appears on you. Then it's just a matter of dashing behind Asterius and whittling him down.

Take Athena's dash ability and reflect the spear while you handle the bull, when you kill the bull bait his spear throw after he does it he turns his back to use dash and hit him. Repeat until you win, also having the a call ability helps when Theseus reaches 50% hp Ares/Artemisa/Aphrodite seem to work best for me

[Madmanx]

Aphrodite appeal is underrated... let's them fight each other

[KlasaSokata]

Also keep in mind that Theseus' Spear Throw can also harm the minotaur, so if you position yourself right when he throws it then he will do big damage to the minotaur for you.

And her call will do 2500 dmg.

Once you learn the attack patterns of both, you'll be able to chunk away at both of their health bars simultaneously.

Can confirm, I'm now at 7 winning streak and I just plowed through them. I just learned the "flow" of the battle after a while. I killed both of them at the same time before the last run. I just destroyed everything.
