So, lets talk about influencing boons

If you take a gods keepsake, it gives a rarity bonus, but most importantly, if you start the run with it, the first boon at the beginning (or in a subsequent room if the run starts with a Daedelus hammer) will be from that god. But does it have any impact after that? If I start with Zeus, I'll get Zeus to begin with, but I don't think it'll influence Tartarus after that. If I keep Zeus in Asphodel, Elysium, and Styx, does that have any influence on finding his boon? I'm thinking it doesn't.

If I switch to Poseidon before Asphodel, Elysium, or Styx, does that increase my chances with Poseidon? I don't think it does. Just that very first boon at the start of the run.

What I think I HAVE observed though is that the game prioritizes the gods you already have. If I pick Zeus at the start, I am more likely to get Zeus later. If I take Poseidon as my second boon, I'm more likely to get Zeus and Poseidon. If I take an Athena boon third, that decreases my chances of getting Zeus and Poseidon since now Athena is more likely too.

I find that if I just take Zeus and Poseidon only and avoid other gods, I'm way more likely to find them in the late game and get my legendary and duo boons that I want. If I just grab the special and attack from Zeus/Poseidon, and then I dilute my pool with some Ares or Hermes or some shit, then I'm getting all kinds of junk at the end.

Last night I had a pure Zeus run. Started with Zeus, somehow got Zeus as a second boon, and then I just kept finding Zeus. I was lucky enough that I was never forced to take a god as my only option as the next room, so I avoided anybody else and man I had SO MUCH LIGHTNING by the end.
