Nice. I saw people saying to do as much open world as you want and savor chapter 2 so I did just that. I’ve now got the White Arabian horse and the Legend of the East Satchel (amazingly useful), I’ve settled on my favorite guns and modded them up. I still have yet to complete all legendary hunts and fishes, but I was ready for a break in the grind so I’ve finally moved into Ch. 3
The game is great so far.
That’s pretty much what God Mode is. The option that gives you a small permanent defense % boost after every single death. I’m too old to git gud so I’ve used it to boost my progression in Hades. The feature seems to still be present in Hades 2.
