Ah, whoops. I had the right page earlier, then decided to post it here, re-Googled it to grab the link, and must have gone to the wrong page by mistake and just grabbed that link without realizing the mixup.

My bad. I feel silly.

It happens. Was kinda interesting to see some of the final 1.0 changes though. I only played Early Access in the very beginning, and held off to jump into 1.0 mostly blind.

Not sure if I'm gonna take them up on that incantation to replay the true ending, or just start a new game. Maybe play it on Steam, since I've been playing on Switch with no achievement tracking and a limited 120 fps.

Thank goodness, I didn't get the True Ending yet, so I should be able to see some good extra convo.

I still need to knock off the 24 Night for Up. Been sick so I haven't had the energy to try it

So is this enhanced ending affect the Epilogue? Or is this adding more to the ending where Hecate is kidnapped and you beat Chronos for the last time to trigger Zagrebs to kill him but he spares him and roll credits and all that?

It expands heavily on that ending changing up some plot points just a little, Also changing the fight against Chronos for that run as well

Holy fuck, the fight to Vow of Rivals Chronos with infinite death defiances thanks to dissolution of time is pretty kino.

And all in all a general improvement to the ending across the board. Making Melinoe the one to come up with the alternative option to "kill Chronos", making the other House of Hades members also have memories of the timeline that never was besides just Chronos and Zagreus, and making Hecate far more adamant about the whole DEATH TO CHRONOS goal are all improvements, especially that last one considering who Hecate is. The Meg, Dusa, and Than cameos was just icing on the cake.

Fan of the Fig Leaf, if only for the opportunity for Surprise Smooth Jazz.

Also I find it hilarious that I kind of expected Gigaros to be secreted away in some hidden chamber or pocket dimension for Mel to find the secret to but no, Zag just plopped it down next to his bed and that's it.

Nah you can do those in any order btw. I think I beat below like 4 times b4 even trying above, but you can theoretically do above first, but it is definitely much harder than below

Taken from the first section of the IGN guide.

To get Hidden Aspects to appear in your Silver Pool, you'll need to do quite a lot of work with the base Weapons and Aspects. Before you even have a chance to unlock the Hidden Aspect, you'll need to ensure you have all six of the Nocturnal Arms unlocked and acquired. After that, do the following with each weapon:
-Unlock the three base Aspects.
-Raise the rank of at least 1 Aspect to the max (Rank V)
-In our testing, we did the Aspect of Melino, but any Aspect seems to work.
-Speak to the member of the Unseen associated with the weapon you want the Hidden Aspect for. When they're ready to give you the waking phrase, a large, glowing exclamation mark will be over their head. You may need to get through other story-driven dialogue before you get the waking phrase.
-Witch's Staff: Circe
-Sister Blades: Artemis
-Umbral Flames: Moros
-Moonstone Axe: Charon
-Argent Skull: Medea
-Black Coat: Selene

I found talking to those characters with their aspects helped as well. For Moros, just use his aspect in runs(maybe complete runs?) and speak to him afterwards.

I suppose that makes sense since the only one I have so far is the Black Coat, which is the only one with a maxed non-Mel aspect. I feel like just to be safe, I should max that person's aspect in particular.

Well sounds good. Thanks BlazinBlue!

Nope it doesn't matter. I maxed the melinoe aspect for 4 of them and got the phrase. Other two weapons maxed a non melinoe and got the phrase. Just the luck of the dialog draw.

I DID IT THE 3 STATUES ARE MIIIINE

Well, this actually only took me 2 tries lmao, just like the bottom 32. Honestly, I wrote this one off. I wasn't the biggest fan of my hammer picks and my boons were... just ok. But it had a lot of AOE, since the minions are the most dangerous anyways. I also just built an unhealthy amount of HP, though most of the threat came near the beginning.

As usual, after a couple of minutes with Typhon, I don't think I was getting hit by anything but his summoned minions and the constant bullet hell in the middle of it.

And uhh... there's no achievement for this lol. No prophecy either. I'm just gonna assume nobody has ever done this ever ahem since there's no data to track on Steam lmao

Honestly 24 Night is pretty generous. I think there is a realm where they could've made you take a lot of compromises and you couldn't say much about it, but I might've gotten tired of it if it were that hard

Oh also I wanted to say, I dunno what was up with the luck but I ended up running into every goddamn side boss in the game on this run. I ran into much less on my 1st attempt

Congrats! Just set up my Fear for this run to play tomorrow (it being 3 am here, and thus time to sleep). Just got the epilogue, so once I get the last statue and finish off the relationships, I can finally move on to Ghosts of Yotei...or FF Tactics...and the Dragonquest remakes are out soon too...

Though, I'm definitely starting a new game on Steam once 1.1 fully releases (been playing on Switch).

Finished the epilogue last night, definitely took much longer than I expected. Including Chaos trials it was roughly 40+ runs after I reached the credits.

It took me three tries to land the final step in Oceanus. The first time I hilariously couldnt die fast enough after clearing three rooms with Moros pin because I had too many death defiances and Apollos damage on hit boon kept killing everything. What made it even funnier is when I did eventually die, it cut to the fates dimension so I thought I had somehow done it anyway, only for it to actually be the Moros romance scene, haha.

It's the same in the first game. They don't want to lock completion behind that last statue. Which honestly is nice cause I'd be annoyed at a 32 fear run. I could probably manage it but I'd rather not.

I can't really tell which was harder, the 24 or 32. The thing is, the mob floors in the sewers are probably some of the hardest in the game. Once you get past that, 32 is pretty much done as long as you play it safe. Tartarus mobs can be hard, but you usually have a good set up to deal with them by that point. Meanwhile the mob/sub boss floors are so much harder on the last half of 24.

On 24, I had to turn off the Prometheus upgrade because that fight is honestly impossible to dodge all the attacks without a -40% projectile speed boon from Circe or Hermes. I think the problem is the kick swipe attack on Prometheus is just so fast when you also have to pay attention to the other person and the fucking bird. Because I have the dmg Night turned on max, they just straight up 3 shot my ass. However, I feel like I have Eris upgrade downloaded. She's easier than the Cyclops upgrade for me right now. Otherwise I have like dmg, HP, mob size on max, the soul pick up thing that revives ppl, the one that takes out the other 2 from the pool

On 32, I turned off Scylla and then abused the fact that Chronos takes away Hecates on the initial dissolution of time run

Was that pre or post 1.0? I'm seeing multiple things saying that maxed Mel aspects counted pre 1.0 but not post 1.0. I had Mel aspects maxed for dozens of runs with nothing popping and no real new dialogue happening with some of the relevant NPCs then as soon as I maxed a non-Mel aspect they instantly popped. This was post 1.0

I didn't buy it until it was out of EA so I'm guessing post 1.0. I also made it a point to interact with those characters while having their aspect equipped. Idk if that made a difference but they at least commented on the weapon.

Finished the 24 and 32 today. 24 got destroyed thanks to a combo of the Jeweled Pom and Persephone's aspect.

Thought my first 32 run was a bust, but it got saved by Echo toward the end. I think I've improved a bit on level 2 rivals going up, but level 2 going down is still a problem for me I guess.

Congrats and welcome to the Champion of the Night lobby. I still admire the ridiculous statues every now and then

Yes Echo is just op as fuck. I pretty much take her route by default.

Scylla upgrade just has to be the hardest fight in the game though. I felt like most of the other upgrades were doable, though most of them are very difficult to go through hitless. Scylla fights just have too many goddamn projectiles and targets that are not quite simple to DPS down cuz they all have some degree of ranged attack. The fucking steamer next to the drummer girl is one of the evilest existences known to man I think

Post launch patch came out, ending now changed with a new incantation so you can see the new interactions/ending modifications yourself, and various stuff tinkered with like Raki and Zagreus infernal contracts having a special previews for location exits, Circe appearing more often (presumably because of that Odysseus quest), reduced Kudos costs for crossroads stuff with refunds on the excess you spent, the fucking Phantom not being total cancer, a lot of buffs surprisingly enough. Will Ares now be remotely good now that plasma can be attracted farther? Probably not.

It launched same day as the full Steam patch. If you close the game, and try to reopen it, it should prompt you to update.
