How many attempts did it take you to beat Hades ?

[Aradhor]

Hi !

I'm currently at 28 attempt, not far beat him. I feel like I'm bad, or it's way too much. How much for you guys ?

[Suzaku]

Beat him on my 10th run. Since then, I've lost once in 50 runs.

[MULTIPASS]

When I first started in EA, it was somewhere between 20-30 runs. Every boss I hit felt incredibly hard the first few times, but eventually you figure out what's going on and it's not a bad as it seemed.

Took me 44 tries to get a clear. Haven't gotten a second yet, after 11 more. Got super-close last time, though. The game is so visually detailed that it's distracting for me and hard to follow what's going on and react fast enough sometimes. And with Hades's crazy damage, each mistake is costly.

do u guys play with that mode that reduce dmg by 20% and +2% for each fail try or without ?

[Lynfinity]

About 25 tries to get a first successful escape attempt when I just started playing.

Came back shortly after full release - only 12 tries (with Hell Mode activated, no less).

[Rage]

34 for my first success. Was on hell mode though.

[Nibbie]

Run 11 was my first clear.

I don't quite understand your strugles. First clear after 5 runs. Always died on Arena boss fight. Played with Hell mode (don't know if that changes anything( do you need to fill your pact with 5+ in normal mode). Completed main story quest under 30, i think. Reached epilogue under 60, i guess? Not that hard.

Gameplay itself not that hard if you played something like dead cells where you need to learn the roll(dash)-dodge meachanic. Like to use shield with +bounces and doom on specials. Also like to use poseidon aspect on stygius or second on the bow. Hangover+Crit+MarkedOnCrit are one of the most demolishing combos also worth trying.

You do not seem to realize that you're probably just better than other people.

So no, it's not "not that hard"

33

33 for me as well. Hey, who cares how long it takes you to escape? Are you having fun and enjoying the game? That's all that matters!! Take your losses, try to analyze what went wrong what how you missed dodging something, and try to improve on the next!

[Mathusalem]

around 30 for my first
around 50 for finishing the main story

If you're not accustomed to semi-fast paced hack and slash with a bit of a visual clutter and more or less timed dodges, yes, i can understand the struggle.
The isometric point of view may take a while to get used to, again, if you haven't played this type of games. But i can assure you after your first clear and after you dump some darkness into your mirror and get to know the weapons better, you won't be losing pretty much at all.
And to answer your question, around 10 runs.

And of course, you also need to understand how the boons work. Most of them are damage boosts but sometimes damage is not all you need.

Watch some youtube videos.

9, easy guy.

Something between 10 and 15.
