Hades - Played by Greek Mythology Expert - Full Walkthrough (Blind Let's Play)

few tales are told of hades whose very name inspires fear and penitence reminding us of the inevitable fate which we all share i however mean to tell you such a tale listen carefully hey everyone this is galactic odyssey and i am super excited to be jumping in to escaping from hell that's right we're playing hades a chance to meet some uh greek gods heroes and monsters along the way uh this is gonna be a dungeon runner which means essentially we're gonna be getting as far as we can in this labyrinth before we die and because this is this is a dungeon runner each time we die we are going to be coming back here to the start so hopefully we're going to be able to make a little bit of extra progress each time we make a run get a bit farther and we will be getting new weapons new abilities and so on along the way so it's not like we'll totally be back uh starting out from square zero but i'm excited this is in some people's opinion the game of the year of 2020 and just right off the bat i could say the art style looks incredible and uh i love the music i'm a big um fan of greek mythology i took about seven years of latin in school because i had a school that was all about kind of the classical education model and so because greek and roman mythology are so similar um some would say that the romans stole slash repurposed the greek mythology um that's why a lot of these characters are going to be very familiar to me and i'm hoping i can use some of that uh maybe expertise is the wrong word but that familiarity to maybe explain some of what's going on here from what because from what i understand a lot of the heroes and the gods and such are portrayed pretty accurately in here and so any sort of insider info i can give you along the way i will be doing it's got to be her then here goes nothing um in the name of hades i accept this all right we're going to meet our first god it looks like i'm guessing that's athena with her uh with her shield aegis i believe it's called pale noble cousin yep now let's get you from that miserable place i'll see that all of us upon olympus do our part beginning here with me also known as minerva in greek mythol or in roman mythology rather every greek god or hero has a counterpart sort of in roman mythology so for example zeus in greek mythology is known as jupiter in roman mythology so here athena is also known as minerva some you may be more familiar with it than others so we've got our basic attack which can deflect we saw a bit of that going on there already we've got a dash and we've got a cast which we haven't really had the opportunity to use right click for a powerful ranged attack that sounds pretty good to me so there's our there's our cast you can't see it but there's actually a cursor that is on my screen that is sort of the directional cue for where to attack and that's what i'm using to send the cast in a particular direction i've turned it off because i think it could be a little bit distracting for people who are watching it um but just so you know that's sort of how i'm controlling in what direction i'm sending these casts and doing my specials and so on all right we're getting some crystals which i'm guessing are to help level up our abilities so i'm get the impression that this uh style of gameplay is a little bit like doom uh insofar as you stop moving you die right it's it's all about movement it's all about getting as many attacks per second off as possible and um yeah so it from what i understand there is no way to heal um maybe with some abilities that we'll pick up later on but essentially the health we have here is what we got and that's one of the ways that it's a very brutal a very brutal journey oh there we go because any any kind of uh damage sent us is permanent well several really anyway in the name of hades heavenly archer is that uh apollo the the god of archery the sun god i think he's famous for being an archer oh his uh twin sister artemis that makes sense she is the goddess of the moon of hunters and she's also known as diana in roman mythology that might be familiar with um wonder woman her i guess pseudonym is diana prince because she's very much in line with that whole greek slash roman mythology all right what do we have here so along the way the guards are going to be helping us out as much as possible we can get a stronger attack a stronger special or foes take damage when our cast is dislodged that doesn't seem super helpful because we're hoping that our cast is just going to straight up kill foes in most scenarios let's see we use our attack quite a bit so i'd say let's just go with our with our basic strike i'm sure as we start to level up in and unlock new weapons we may want to put more points into our cast but for the time being this works for us we don't want to step into this trap looks like a spiked floor and uh there's a destructible environment to some extent so i'm destroying these columns which is causing these fatsos to take crush damage which is pretty cool and it's also sort of giving me the ability to uh to block block their attacks as well so we're going to keep dodging use these columns to our effect and it also looks like sort of crashing these guys into walls is doing bonus damage to them as well thank you all right we've got a choice uh and it looks like what we unlock is given to us up front so we've got a choice to go here on the left to do whatever this is or that i'm guessing that's the the sign of dionysus who's the god of wine and you know partying and revelry um let's go there i don't know what that skull is it might might it may mean a tougher enemy okay so it looks like that guy has some sort of armor that we're gonna want to avoid we'll let them get a couple attacks off oh let's get out of there oh nice we activated that trap all right one of their armor is shredded uh one of them straight up dead that's good all right down they go so it looks like there's two to three waves per room so we've got to sort of not rest on our laurels whenever we think we're done maybe we can do this and there we go we got him very nice let's see who this is rivalry people having a good time yeah well sure then in the name of hades it should be dionysus also known as bacchus in roman mythology there he is got to get here with the rest of us already we've been saving you a spot let me see what i can do make life a little sweeter for you in the meantime i would love that maybe some health oh all right you take less damage we're not 40 or below which i mean we're at there right now if your health is low after encounters restore to the threshold well that sounds pretty good to me yeah let's do that up to 30 so that means we'll get some free healing press b for boon info oh there they are wow we can stack up quite a few of these things so we'll um hopefully make it pretty far into here and um be able to stack up another number of these benefits oh okay so both of these guys have armor it looks like and they're tossing bombs so we're gonna have to keep moving wow this is also this is really reminding me of dune because of uh doom because of the the rock and roll music i love it and the fact that we just got to keep moving no matter what stop moving you're dead get a couple attacks off keep it moving there we go that's one of their armor shredded and it looks like we're sort of staggering them a bit whenever we get an attack off that is for those who don't have armor looks like those with armor will be able to resist that stagger okay let's clear out of there oh boy that's not good keep clearing out so it looks like our ranged cast will get stuck in them unfortunately there we go that's one of them down and down we go anyone else cool so we did get a little bit of a heel there 15. which is not great what have we got from athena your special is stronger and can deflect your abilities that can deflect also make those exposed or resist damage uh i think damage resistance is going to be kind of universally helpful why don't we go with that all right not too bad so far all right uh what's going on here is it i guess we're it's flashing red because we're on low health right now unfortunately there we go he's not gonna like that unfortunately we've got to go over there and collect our cast uh we can also trigger these traps it looks like come on come over here okay he did what we wanted but not how we wanted to all right we are on one health we cannot make any more errors or you know if we do we will be able to see what we weights on the other side of death all right uh let's not trigger these traps if we can help it there we go yeah they see us come on over that was close there we go um one more to go it looks like we'll hit him real quick just want to come over here there we go we just made it we got some crystals looks like these traps get deactivated after the encounters are done um hearts looks heart means healing to me that's what that's what i'm guessing that is okay why don't you come over here oh getting three of them all right all right keep coming we can throw this over the gap which is nice maybe we can use this corner to our advantage yeah we've got a little bit of a range on our attack there oh that's not good oh this guy's got armor oh get out of there use the wall to smash him and uh-oh oh boy how are we gonna get out of this one all right these two are done i would like to use more traps but there never seems to be a super good opportunity to do it okay oh we increased our max health okay that is good with me wow look at all of this map that we could have used but we didn't because we didn't really need to need to uh we can get a key or a crystal maybe a key will unlock more uh more hidden areas not exactly sure there we go all right this specialist seems to be doing a pretty good job of staggering them so we'll take that this guy's coming over down the go we'll collect this that looks like a magic user why don't we toss that over there the stagger on them there we go we'll collect this okay there's another couple of them coming in hot oh i don't like that oh yikes how did we take so much damage all at once holy cow all right oh down we go first death there we go well that was not bad we made it what six rooms something like that and now we're back in damn it wherever we are wherever we start from looks like it's not exactly the same room as we started in our first level yes carry on everyone don't mind me all right uh hello wait i know you guess that means you died out there huh oh yeah though pretty much everybody dies sometime i mean that's hard to argue with some of us more than others yeah back already oh there is the um hades he of the game's name i guess it is not only a place but a guy as well the god of the underworld stupid boy i told you nobody gets out of here whether alive or dead though how was your want and ransacking of my domain you know could have been better greetings father my ransacking was a delight thank you for asking so i'll just be on my way again on your way indeed what do i care you shall never reach the surface go see yourself if you say so i guess he doesn't really care that we're trying to escape because he thinks it's too impossible i mean so far he's right but um you know oh hello there oh this is cerberus the three-headed watchdog of the underworld we can give him a pat there's a good boy oh look at us see we're close we we are definitely dog people i can tell already and we could talk to him uh sure hey boyo watchdog cerberus regards the underworld prince with mixed emotions from purest joy to deepest melancholy three heads three emotions i guess that makes sense if i could yeah oh man can we take him with us that would be great if we could um get him as like a companion or something i don't know are we are we able to unlock companions that'll be cool and who are you oh achilles remember your training out there the pain of death is but another obstacle so achilles um famous for being a hero of the trojan war he was given the power of invulnerability when he was just a baby his mother essentially had a favor owed to her by the gods so she was able to dip him into the river of the underworld and everything that was touched um you know all the water that touched his skin would make him invulnerable the thing is she held him by his heel to dip him in and so and kind of forgot to i guess move her hand to a different location and re-dip because when she pulled him out that part of him was the only part that was not invulnerable and so he ended up dying by an arrow to the heel uh tragically enough it was guided by a god who was not very happy with him so there's that and that's where we get the phrase achilles heel so there you go more you know and fear is for the week take care achilles cool i love running into to all of these um famous people house of hades that dark and lavishly appointed layer of the underworld's king is home not just to him but to his willful protege all of his kids essentially yeah we can overhear the narrator a little bit of fourth wall breaking there but that's yeah greek gods are famous for having loads and loads of kids oh hello nick's night incarnate and may be overcome with effort and with time he made contact with the goddess athena she shall be true to her word yes okay so i guess she's pretty supportive of us i believe it next i'm grateful that you put us under contact i know you took a considerable risk in reaching out the risk is not to me i expected the olympians would involve themselves in this eventually reveal to them no more than they already know are we understood i got it you're our woman on the inside i like it so she's she's being our uh essentially our our operator getting us in touch with olympus use the mirror to go stronger okay i don't mind if i do darkness guide me all right so let's go and start leveling up our character then so shadow presence deal a bonus attack and special damage when striking foes from behind vitality restores small amount of health when you exit a chamber plus one per rank and then death defiance restores 50 instead of dying when your life is total is depleted one time per rank that seems super nice we basically get one do-over i wouldn't mind grabbing a couple of these or or you know maybe just one of them 500 crystals seems pretty steep now we're talking not bad but that helps getting uh getting a free freebie death essentially anything we can do over here he's got our stuff chambers of prince zagreus lie in a perpetual state of utter disarray despite his lord and master of the house repeatedly insisting that he pick everything up yeah kids don't like to clean their room it's not that bad i mean there's organized piles of stuff um just like any room right it's an organized chaos there are piles yes but i know exactly everything that are in those piles so it all works out right who's to tell us otherwise all right okay oh here we go so i need to find a key so that oh these keys are gonna unlock weapons for us okay not um not unlock doors i guess or maybe they'll do both so we'll have to keep an eye out for those and then what do we have here uh keepsakes okay collectibles of some kind i'm guessing these are essentially the in-game achievements something like that so secret stash all right well we'll keep an eye out for them as we unlock new rooms and uh oh this is cool i can do this first get past the wretched shades of tartarus easier said than done and doubtless i'll be running into meg the river flame up to be just beyond into meg okay there and after that all right let's give it another shot i'm guessing meg could that be um could that be megara one of the furies there are three furies which sort of serve as almost like the demons that guard the underworld pink window there um yep i got it uh there's electo callisto and megara i think are the three furies and so they're notoriously aggressive i guess and so that would make sense if one of them is the guard or guardian of the underworld okay i think we're gonna be talking to the boss man himself mr doctor coach zeus okay in the name of hades olympus i accept this message oh boy this this ought to be good greetings there young man look your father's always been rather difficult and he's not so much as called in quite some time he'll have a better home where you belong here on olympus and to help you on your journey have my blessing oh thank you very much i will take that yeah so hades our dad and zeus are brothers uh and then there's the third brother poseidon who is the god of the ocean i'm sure we'll be running into him at some point uh poseidon is the one that carries the trident who's like ariel's dad and the little mermaid you know the one so they they're kind of like the top three gods i guess um and then of course there's there's their sister hera um whom zeus ended up marrying but uh you know incest is kind of par for the course in greek mythology and she's the queen of the gods but all right anyway enough enough history what do we have here we've got our cast and it looks like all of our abilities have reset so we're going to have a chance to i guess go with a totally new deck of abilities um dashing causes a lightning bolt to strike cast is chain lightning or special causes a lightning bolt to strike this seems pretty okay getting a lightning bolt to strike between foes yeah oh look at that tonight whatever very good and we were able to take them all out at once essentially composed of such innumerable ever-shifting interlocking chambers the underworld of lord hades all but guarantees the dead shall there remain until the end of time right so one thing we know about the underworld is that each time we go into this uh this chamber it essentially resets so no two enemies are going to be in this in this in the same layout um you know in in consecutive runs i guess oh that's great i love that we've got to go get our cast i guess ah that's sloppy ooh watch out for those spikes all right not too bad and we got some crystals out of that um oh this is the thing that uh increases our max health i believe that would be really really nice to get to start off there we go oh we cannot interrupt their attacks it looks like that's unfortunate i thought that maybe we could stagger them that does not look like that's the case okay interesting uh can we get not get through there we did increase our max health though so there's that that's something now i wonder i'm seeing like these coins at the bottom of the screen which i'm guessing will be used to purchase upgrades and such are those going to reset like are we going to basically lose all of our income each time we die if so that would kind of incentivize us to use them as quick as possible whoops we will have to when we hit this and the dash out maybe that will destroy oh nice okay we'll get this dash away zap him over there so we'll see maybe we'll save a little bit of our cash if we get a chance to buy some upgrades and then see that if and when we die i mean of course we're never gonna die right no chance but if we did then maybe see if um oh there's a trap there did not notice that we'll have to see if we lose all of our resources all right so this is artemis again you're not alone you're not alone down there okay here let me show you i appreciate that all right exit wounds no your dash strike deals more damage that's not bad attack is stronger we could use our dash strike a bit bit more essentially dashing with our attack at the end of it boom just like that boom uh we can get these jewels uh some kind of income i'm not totally aware of or crystals uh i guess let's go with the crystals because that's what our character is gonna level up on oh let's hit this pillar get some crush damage going we got our cast back let's toss it at the sky maybe do a dash strike oh we're not done yet these guys are nasty take care of them down here gotta keep dashing oh i can't quite hit them uh it sucks all right taking more damage uh just for stupid mistakes than i mean to so we've got this symbol um it could be like the god of war aries that could be his thing or this kind of looks like a pomegranate which is a famously a food of the underworld that the the queen of the underworld persephone she cultivates trees like those um which have like seeds of forgetfulness i believe in them so and there's also this skull on here which i'm not sure does that mean like there's a tougher enemy on there well let's avoid the tougher enemies at the moment if we can and just get whatever this is it may not be a pomegranate but that's just kind of what it looks like to me okay good oh that trap would be useful but i'm just a little bit of afraid that i'm not gonna align correctly oh there we go i think we got a trap kill right all right now there's this guy love him down he goes uh all right let's dash through as quick as possible oh nice we broke his armor good and then this guy is pretty slow doesn't look like he's a whole lot of a threat that was very cool all right what did we get good enough to eat oh it is a pomegranate pomegranate seed and it looks like it i guess it level up levels up our ability so do we want our electric chain lightning upgraded or our dash strike probably this chain lightning it it's just super effective as an aoe ability all right this key will help us get a new weapon which would be very cool not bad yeah that dash strike seems to be do a pretty good job of staggering them i'm a fan of that okay there's a door there now it seems like sometimes there's multiple doors and sometimes there's just one door so i'm gonna do a quick lap um okay it looks like this is just the one just the one option so i guess we'll get our other ability upgraded uh look there they are down there okay oh look at these guys some sort of pile of uh skelly's i guess that's where they're coming from huh so you got to destroy the nest before they spawn more i'm just trying to move as quick as i can all right where are we it looks like we can destroy these purple things which is nice oh that was stupid come on get out of there all right uh okay um sure we'll take more more damage for our cast we can go get max health let's do that sounds pretty good to me oh this guy's got some significant armor okay come on trying to stand on this trap and um like let the trap do the work but it's not working let's grab this again maybe do some damage down there oh that's nice it would be very nice if we could get like a health on kill type of thing it doesn't look like that's always an option though i keep moving bounce between these guys um there's our cast there in the middle i think we got it there we go yeah we did oh no we didn't and these all have armor so uh yikes we're on a little bit low health right now okay almost oh there we go we got him all right i got our health up to 100 but i mean i would rather have the health itself to get maxed out uh-oh what do we have here you're not going anywhere not sure about that survive for 45 seconds oh boy all right here we go all right so this is going to be dash city essentially just um to get this okay there's no need to fight them really i know i'm sort of like going like dashing straight into them with that okay that's fine 10 seconds left we can hang on i don't think that's going to be a problem if you get rid of her because she's got our cast yeah there we go uh all right finally we got some resources out of that oh look at that i'm guessing that's beside old uh uncle poseidon come to help us out but we are on not so good health right now let's keep moving through here so we can kind of see what's inside here got to figure out this dash strike a little bit better there we go and it looks like our dash allows us to sort of go over gaps which is nice so we don't have to necessarily just stick to the stick to the walkways we can just dash across any gaps that we see there we go did we get them all oh no you thought of course these guys all right let's go get our cast kill her oh they still keep coming huh maybe get rid of these magic users first there we go oh yeah i keep forgetting that those oh we got our death defied right yep oh so we get uh yeah up to 50. that's nice all right we'll make use of we won't spoil our uh our our opportunity dash dash dash get rid of these magic users these melee guys we can just focus down pretty easily with our cast not too worried about them but the magic users are annoying to deal with yeah yeah yeah do a couple hits and then bounce away i don't see where our cast went oh they're sitting right on top of it that's why okay let's get across there we go down you go crashing away it's uncle number two it's got to be yeah then our famous uncle olympus i accept this aquaman as for me i'll see if i can stir things up a bit to cover your advance that sounds good to me what do you got gain a random assortment of all this good stuff that sounds pretty good your attack deals more damage and knocks foes away or your attack and special are stronger the first 10 seconds i mean considering how long this last encounter was that doesn't seem to be super helpful attack is good or resources let's go with resources could maybe we'll get a health drop of some kind what did we get okay oh nice we got to 80 out of 100 not bad uh we can go for more health or we could go for whatever this is um well i think this increases our max health which seems to be pretty key i say that's what we go for oh uh we just get it for free then i guess all right what do we have here present chamber lies the outermost perimeter of tartarus oh we made it promising terrifying dangers far beyond the underworld prince's reckoning all right so we're almost at the end of the first level i guess quite a bit yeah so let's get our max health and so i'm not sure what that reward is but it looks like the enemy is star plus two ribbons so that must mean it's the most powerful one all right why don't we take a break here when we come back we are going to fight the first boss of tartarus in the underworld if you wouldn't mind guys dropping a comment telling me what you think of the run through so far a lot of people again are calling hades the game of the year for 2020 and i kind of want to know your thoughts personally first impressions i love the combat style it's super smooth the variety of the abilities that we're able to unlock make it a fresh run each time and so i know this is only the second run but um it still feels like a totally new run each time and the voice acting is great like the doom style combat music is great and it's really really good so uh comment if you've enjoyed the uh the video so far maybe drop a like or and uh subscribe for more hades comment coming real soon so that's all for now guys bye for now
