Question: I feel like I'm missing something or doing something wrong here...I've made it to Asphodel twice now and it just feels like such a step up in difficulty compared to the first area that I'm not sure how I can make it through the rest of the game (depending on how many areas there are).

I'm assuming it gets 'easier' as more stuff is unlocked via the mirror and whatnot...I just hope it doesn't take too long to get to that point. For example now, I just entered the second area for my second time and all I really have to my name is an aoe explosion on a shield toss return from a daedalus hammer and two low tier, level 1 boons. I just feel like I'm not doing enough damage in the second area right now to effectively clear enemies quickly. Is this normal early on or am I just not getting enough synergy going in the first area?

I think it sounds like you're not building well. But the big threshold IMO is in the third area - if you don't have high enough damage at that point you'll really suffer. Mirror unlocks help a bit, but the main part is what you build.

Play around with different boons and try and find some that enable you to apply damage consistently. Some boons give super high damage but are tricky to set up correctly. I find that it's better to focus on 1-3 gods rather than spread out, then upgrade with poms. Then it's about finding a style that you like, and figure out patterns of enemies so you know how to properly maximize the DPS against different patterns.
