I guess my next run's going to be a Curse of Agony run!

Chaos Curses (ranked from worst option to best option)

Gamma Tier

13. Maimed

You can win by not attacking. It's just...why would you do that?

12. Caustic

This can get really, really bad if you have Jury Summons or Forced Overtime on. Even without either of these, some rooms like Numbskulls or Flame Wheels will make this way more frustrating.

Beta Tier

11. Roiling

This is basically temporary Jury Summons. I don't like Jury Summons. A large majority of the difficulty in Hades is when there's too many things going on. Case in point: Asterius. Not too bad when you fight him alone, much more unpredictable when you have Theseus running around too. Since a large amount of the difficulty buffs rely on you actually getting hit (Hard Labor, Lasting Consequences, etc.), you're fine if you don't get hit. Jury Summons/Roiling ruins that.

10. Halting

Having less mobility is generally not good. When you're dashing all the time, you kinda have an idea how far you'll go. Having that measurement messed up is...a little rough.

9. Enshrouded

If you get a late-chamber Chaos, this one is absolutely the play. This counts Charon's Shop, the boss room, the rest area, and advancing to the next biome as part of the chambers. That's already 4 more-or-less automatic options.

That said, I remember getting this at the beginning of Asphodel and, by the time it wore off, I was already at Charon's Shop heading to the boss. Not knowing what you're getting sucks. You can't plan for gods. If you have a god keepsake, it might end up becoming entirely useless. Some people I know deliberately avoid the skull chambers if they're still getting used to the game. On the flipside, it does nothing to change difficulty of the chamber (other than accidentally wandering into a miniboss or skull chamber). I also have begun to appreciate every chamber reward, so nothing truly feels debilitating.

I feel completely refreshed. Like I just put on fresh underwear on New Year's Day.
