Cavalcadence plays Hades 29 - Unseen One (& Hades comments), Shield of Chaos, Aspect 1 (Zagreus)
0Hades (PC(W,M)/Steam) (Supergiant Games)
Unseen One (highest rank obtainable from the Resources Director)
Shield of Chaos (Aegis), Aspect 1 (Aspect of Zagreus)
So... going into this run, Zagreus had the rank of "Sigma One", the second-highest rank the Resources Director can bestow. So finally, after quite a number of runs... up next: Unseen One! =)
And speaking of "quite a number of runs"... though I hadn't actually planned this, this run also happened to line up with Zag's 600th death! ^.^ Of course, given Hypnos' comments after Zag's 500th death, I was fairly certain he wouldn't have any comments about 600... but I was recording this run anyway for "Unseen One", so... ^_^
Anyway, this run is basically just a Darkness-gathering run (Zag doesn't really need the extra Darkness anymore, but some of the recent Darkness-gathering runs have been pretty fun, so... ^^). Alas, Zag wasn't able to get the Darkness bonus quite as high as I would've liked... but other than that, the run went fairly well overall. =)
If you're not interested in the actual run, though, and just want to see the Rank Up and/or the Hades dialog, just click on the "Rank Up: Unseen One" (third-to-last timestamp) or "We cannot speak of this" (last) timestamp in the index below. ^_^
Some quick notes on the basic strategy I used:
- "Pom Blossom" run, trying for Darkness bonuses from Chaos (Eclipse) and Poseidon (Ocean's Bounty), if doing so doesn't endanger the run. The bonuses can definitely help, if you're trying to acquire a lot of Darkness; the highest total bonus I've managed to get so far has been +429% (Darker Thirst + Ocean's Bounty + 3 Eclipses)... which actually earned Zag 1322 Darkness just from the Hades fight! ^.^
- If Artemis is encountered, True Shot is always useful for Theseus and Greatshields.
