game became much harder for no reason wtf?

[Charles Vane]

boss fights changed and became a lot harder, why? i was fighting magera girl and then instead of her i fought someone else literally spent all my 3 lives on that boss fight and still died, bone hdyra boss fight also changed lots of bs going on on screen barely survived, the game was already hard before those changes i could barely make to the elysium boss fight but with that state its become bs difficult, its funny that yor damage really doesnt change but you fight more difficult stuff, is there a way to revert this or its just how the game goes? elysium and bull fight was already difficult for me and now i guess those fights will also change in bs way right?

Boss fights change once as you keep playing.
Magera gets 2 alternative fights, to mix things up.
Bone Hydra gets 2 alternative aspects. I think Summoning or purple "spell" casting.
Elysium took for ever (about 20 full playthroughs) until they got 1 additional move which is not hard to evade.
Just learn how to evade their movesets and you'll be fine again.
(Edit: There's videos on youtube for it, like all bosses 0 hits taken.)

After a while, if you beat Meg a few time, one of her sister may replace her.
And if you use heat level you can even fight the 3 of them together.
If you don't like it, play in god mode, the game will get easier with each failed attempt.

Heat level is something you unlock once you beat the final boss.
Edit: and optional.

i have 6 titan blood and 3 gemstones where do i use them?

[roymaster45]

You can't use the Titan Blood (apart from trading it for stuff with the guy in the Lounge) until you finish your first successful run Never mind, it’s been a while since I was at this point in the game and I forgot.

By "gemstones" I assume you mean diamonds, because gemstones are a different currency that you accumulate at a MUCH quicker rate. Diamonds can be used to buy stuff from the House Contractor, next to Hades' desk. Mostly music sheets, but I think maybe a few character quest/story-related unlocks as well...?

You can use titan blood to upgrade your weapons once you unlock all 6 weapons. I'm not sure if you have to use each of them once or not, but you don't have to have a successful run yet.
And maybe you have to talk with skelly? I'm not sure, but I can already use titan blood and I only got past bone hydra once.

Once you have all 6 weapons unlocked talk to Skelly. You might need to have used each of them at least once. Bosses will vary up a bit even without making it to the end. You'll soon learn their patterns while working on how best to try and configure your weapon and cast through a run.

Try not to get frustrated, it is both a learning process and keeps you focused on expanding your mirror upgrades and keepsakes. Early game you should use boons to experiment with, while focusing on gathering as much darkness and nectar as you can get your mitts on, and gathering plus upgrading all of your keepsakes with runs to make them as effective as possible. Side quests (list of prophecies) are also beneficial while building up strength and experience.

thanks guys i really love this game i actually beat hades and escaped, game introduced me the heat level thing, but i gotta say elysium is the hardest part for me, and that minateur and hoplite guy fight actually harder than hades for me, funny i havent seen the athena traits for maybe last 10 games, is she that rare or something?

[Nibbie]

What gods show up is completely random, other than the fact that only ~4 normal gods will show up in a single run. There is no 'bad luck protection' on a given god showing up, so RNG being RNG can make it seem like someone has disappeared, but they always show up eventually. As mentioned, giving nectar to each of them can let you guarantee that they show up for a run with the use of their keepsake.

how do i unlock weapon aspects with question marks? i only beat the game 2 times, beating the game with every weapons and different heat levels seem impossible, and it would simply take too much time since last hades fight is not that easy and dying just makes you lose 45 mins, can i get titan blood again by playing the same heeat level? also the sword never gives you +%20 darkness why?

[Spawnling]

Which weapon gives bonus darkness is totally random. I rarely ever got the Railgun.

If you have problems with Hades try the Anchorn trinket. It blocks the first 5 hits in a boss fight, which reduces damage taken by 100-200. It's basically a free full health bar.

Each weapon gives for each heat level each reward once.

i guess it s time to practice with other weapons now , for u and for me xd

I'd suggest:
Bow: Aspect of Hera level 1
Mirror +50 damage when a cast is inside the enemy and the auto reload for the cast.
Attack: Ares Doom
Special: Athena (deflecting all missiles in a 90° cone in front of you is fun)
Cast: Posidon, Artemis. 3rd choice Dionisus for AoE
Dash: what you like
God Power: Artemis is nice to finish bosses and ignores shields. Downside it needs to be fully charged to be any good.

PS: If you get Artemis legendary +2 casts you'll deal absurd damage.

i mean most op build i've created so far was the bow build, with the crit proccing, damage would be around 1k, and thats actually how i beat hades 2 times, have never won against hades with a melee build so far

[Spawnling]

Just did a run for fun, Trippy Flare on floor 1 defined the build:

Edit: Getting Strong Drink early in the game also allowed me to keep the Pom Blossom through the first 3 areas, then I switched to Evergreen Acorn against Hades.
