I prefer the infinite resurrection over the limited one. I think it’s better until the final boss. Having said that it is worse if you’re good at the game!

I like the power that gives you health per darkness because it motivates to get darkness (especially if it’s couples with the power that gives health up per darkness). Given darkness is usually paired with either keys (useless) or ornament gems (useless) using the random changer it’s good to get a bonus with that imo.

They’re both circumstantial and pretty much of a muchness. 3 death defies is good insurance, darkness vs 3 health is a choice I could put on random and probably no not notice. The ones that matter to the combat from the first half are basically all inferior as green in my experience. I can see the benefit if I have a build in my mind for some of them, but it’s rare i’ll
put the effort into working things out rather than just focussing on boon fishing.

I don't find it much use. You take it off and its effect stops.

IMO the best Trinket configuration is
Zone 1: The first god you want a boon from
Zone 2: The second god you want a boon from
This lets you set up your build for Elysium
Zone 3 & 4: take something that stacks, like Lambent Plume, or has a consistent effect. I like to take an endgame Trinket for 3 &4.

There are some instances when taking one trinket can work for the whole game, like Lambent Plume, very easy to get it up to 20-30% dodge, then you add in 10% from a Hermes boon, and 25% from maxed out Zagreus Aspect Fists, then you've got a stew going.

I just take the trinket for most runs now. Really good if you get it to proc on a few epic or better attack boons. Classic lazy strat.

I think I'm closing in on the epilogue now at around 150 hours in, pretty sure I've had one part of it but it feels like something else is about to go down.

Lambent plume is a good trinket though if you want to go with something like Zag fists as Tempy says, Pierced butterfly can be alright but I find it very hard to get that to consistently proc after the first world.

Oh no wait, just checked, got the epilogue achievement on steam so that was it. Aw yea. Fist pumps all round.

Yeah it's well good. Would love me some co-op in this though. Imagine!

Mmmm, I dunno. If it runs at 60fps on Switch then that's a great counter to PC as you will have access to it from anywhere within your home and basically have the same port. Having said that, I do enjoy playing it on my 32" QHD monitor as I get a nice view of whats going on, not sure how the chaos would translate to Switch non-docked. Better to ask someone else there.

If you're not fussed about service provider as well, it's 20% off on the Epic Game Store currently. So going for €16.79.

That's quite possible...

Got to big boss man on my 14th run, so feel happy enough with that. Having fun with builds and loving the fists. Game 2 easy.

Mate, I can’t help it if I am a Pro Gamer.

I think that's pretty good.

I tried a run with the Guan Yu the other day.

So much more stuff!

Try running away more and chip away.

Playing this with B, first night we switched controllers after a room, got to Meg once, yesterday we switched after death. Got to Meg twice between the two of us. Still figuring out what things mean and how they work, it's quite a busy game graphic wise, so it still feels pretty confusing.

We have a friend who was married to a Greek girl called Meg, and she was quite a bitch, so that feels very fitting so far.

I'm up to 79 attempts and no clear yet. Not even got close with Hades either. Dunno what I'm doing wrong.

If it helps there's a god mode option in the menu if you just want to get through the fighting and see the story.

The story is the least interesting thing in this game for me. I starting skipping through all the narrative after a few runs. I've just never lucked out on a build that dominates all yet. It's probably because I'm re-rolling the mirror of night every time searching for some meaningful differences and only using weapons I like. I'm struggling with the visual feedback quite a bit. Game is a straight up mess when things get busy.

Gotta say I'm done with the paltry 4 levels in this game - particularly Asphodel and Elysium - those levels are just not fun. A mixture of lava and crappy enemies - culminating in extremely dull and repetitive boss battles. It's gets really unimaginative in Styx too, with the poison. Feels cheap. I wish they'd done more in terms of how you progress through the game - the back and forth between characters just grates for me now and I just run through to my next run. Probably missed all sorts...
