Hades First Unspoiled Playthrough - Part 1

First of all, why is everyone in this game so hot? Nothing could have prepared me for the sheer panic I felt towards 90% of the characters in my first playthrough of Hades, and I never would have expected the complete meltdown I had upon meeting Megaera for the first time. I'd had Hades recommended to me for years and had held off on playing after not vibing with Transistor and never finishing Bastion, so I was pleasantly surprised when Hades gripped me immediately. "Just one more run" became a real problem, as I'm sure many of you have also experienced. I was also pleasantly surprised to find myself progressing rather rapidly, because I'd been told extensively that the game was hard and I might need to turn on God Mode! In hindsight, reaching Asphodel and the Lernaean Bone Hydra boss fight in my first session was pretty good!! originally broadcast on Twitch in Jan 2023 for live streams, follow me on Twitch   / elliejoypanic   https://bsky.app/profile/elliejoypani...   / elliejoypanic     / elliejoypanic   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:38 The first run 11:40 House of Hades 18:05 Run 2 - Tartarus 34:32 Run 3 - Tartarus 49:02 A Megaera induced breakdown 57:17 The codex 1:08:14 Run 4 - Tartarus 1:28:13 Run 5 - Tartarus 1:54:24 Run 6 - Tartarus 2:09:27 First time in Asphodel 2:24:14 First Lernaean Bone Hydra boss fight 2:38:24 Run 7 - Tartarus 2:57:20 Run 7 - Asphodel
