@Jackpaza0508 I am glad you are liking the game! Magera was really hard for me in the beginning too, but now I can't wait to fight her because it is a boss fight where there is actually lots of room to move and evade. My advice: move around the room a lot, hit her after she attacks/dashes and you dodge, then keep moving around the room until she attacks/dashes again. Repeat. And watch out for those stupid spike traps!
@Westernwolf4 Since I last posted, I beat Meg, moved on to the next area and died in lava because I thought I would just respawn in the area I was in haha. Gotta beat her again now!
@Voltan To be honest I’m not sure it would have made a difference knowing but I might have been a touch more careful towards the end 😆.
@Westernwolf4 Well done on getting a clear or two. It must feel good to have got a few clears under your belt. I’ll definitely be playing again soon but having a break until the weekend. Thanks for the tip on the house contractor. I must have missed that one so will look out for it 👍
@Jackpaza0508 The lava is annoying to start with but you’ll soon get used to it. It can actually be quite useful if you use stubborn defiance, haven’t had to use it that encounter and you’re below the amount of health SD would recover you. You can just step into the lava, die and get your health back up. You can also knock enemies into it if you have a knock back boon.
@render Thanks again for the kind words, and let us know when you have vanquished that boss!
The house contractor upgrade I am talking about is called "Pitch Black Darkness", which unlocks as a possible purchase after purchasing the "Contractor Desk Deluxe." As I noted above, the upgrade means that every time you claim darkness as a chamber reward, 5 is added to your health bar. By purchasing this upgrade, going in darkness chambers and also prioritizing Centaur hearts, I often get to the end with 350 or so of health (as I also said above it is great with the Dionysis boon, since the healing fountain near the final boss will restore that large pool of health fully if you have it).
There are certainly other ways to do this (one of the great things about the game is that there are many viable boons and builds) but this has worked really well for me in my successful (and many less successful!) runs. The contractor upgrade where getting a nectar as a chamber reward raises the level of one of your boons is also super helpful if you haven't purchased it yet.
I thought I was the only one that dislikes the bow! I have read in a lot of other places that it is the best weapon in the game, but I hate using it. That and the railgun are both weapons I don't like.
@Shigurui@Westernwolf4 I had some good loadouts with both of those. For the rail gun I had an upgrade that made the grenade 300% stronger and have a bigger blast area but could hurt me. It was easy enough to avoid, I only hit myself a few times. Also had and upgrade that would make the regular bullets ricochet from one enemy to another.
For the bow I think I had one that I could just hold attack and it would auto fire (and probably something more).
They both require different general approaches but I don’t mind them
The shield got me my first escape but then I think I used it the least.
@Voltan I am really glad you have enjoyed them. I only have two clears-both with the shield-but the only time I have reached the final boss with the bow was with the auto fire weapons upgrade you described, and once with the railgun using a weapons upgrade that let me fire multiple special grenade attacks at once. Those were cool runs, but without proper help from the hammer I am hopeless with those weapons.
The rail is ludicrously good if you get the right boons and hammers. Triple special along with rockets, stacked with Artemis boons meant I beat the final boss in a couple of minutes.
@Westernwolf4@Voltan - I tend to opt for a close up melee/dash attack build with a lot of crit so the gauntlets have become my go-to weapon. The bow just falls flat for my playstyle. I'm sure that thing could be ridiculous in the right hands though, just not mine.
@Shigurui Same. I need to try some of the other weapons more, but my play style so far has always been pumping up dash strike damage and crit. The Fists are great for that-first time I got tot he final boss was with them.
@DertieBertie - I'm working towards the epilogue myself. How many relationships have you fully maxed out with the Olympians? I'm currently on 5 of 6 required to trigger the next part of the questline.
