I know it's not a lot but I had 130 or so health left after I kicked Eris's ass, and I had like 236 health before that with no armor.
The growth spell from Circe makes me feel like I could beat up anyone...Hopefully I don't get my shit rocked by Prometheus for the third time in a row.
(To enjoy this rant at it's maximum potential, imagine the loud parts being spoken by Scott Grimes.
Thank you)
I had a damn good game plan going. Had some nice books, just no diffed Hecate, had 60+ armor, with an assurance of more after I finished the level!
Was gonna use Knuckle bones for Scylla to see if I could get a reaction, then use something else against Cereberus if I made it to him-
I was having a good time...and I just made it to Oceanus! Life was good!
...then I saw that the pipe to the next room had TWO options for boons. First time I'd ever seen it as I'm not far into the game.
Hephaestus...or Hera.
I like the hitch effect, and I'd already used Hephaestus a lot. So I was like "y'know what? Lets go with Hera for this!"
.....
And then Hephaestus proceeded to do the most childish bullshit I have EVER had the displeasure of experiencing in a video game.
He hit me, a lot. several times while I was being barrage by those little fish swarming fuckers and those trident wielding guys that do a shit ton of damage if you don't cut them down fast or dodge out of the way.
And the worst part? This bitch Hephaestus does FIFTEEN DAMAGE PER STRIKE
MULTIPLE TIMES IF YOU'RE STILL IN THE STRIKE ZONE!
My armor? Gone
My health? Halved
And what's makes this all worse?
2 things. After I survived, this sunuvabitch came down and said something along the lines of "next time dont incur my wrath lest I...do something"
LEST. YOU. FUCKING. WHAT.
I AM LITERALLY TRYING TO SAVE YOUR FAT ASS, YOU BABY FACED FUCKING TROLL! NEXT TIME I SEE A CHOICE BETWEEN YOU AND ARES, I'LL GO WITH THE GUY THAT CAN FUCKING WALK!
BUT IT DOESNT END THERE.
IT GETS SO MUCH WORSE.
I get to the next room and I'm steaming, just pissed off, then I look at the options after that, and I see a boss.
So I'm thinking "okay, if it's the sea dragon I'm good, and if it's the squid, I still have 2 death defiance, so I can clear that easy enough."
Wanna know who it was?
Motherfucking Vermin King.
VERMIN KING
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
WHY
maybe if I had THE REST OF MY HEALTH AND THE 60+ ARMOR I SHOULD HAVE HAD AT THAT POINT, HE WOULDN'T HAVE USED BOTH MY DEATH DEFIANCE'S, AND LEFT ME WITH 34 OUT OF 106 HEALTH!
FUCK YOU HEPHAESTUS! YOU BUGEYED BITCH!
.....
Anyway, I'm enjoying the game so far. Thanks for listening.
