Hades 2 Update Saves the Day as Roguelike Player Beats One of the Game’s Toughest Runs Without Taking a Hit — “Untouchable”

A top comment on YouTube quips: “Well… I had a Surface run where I took over 1,400 damage and still won. So, you could say I’m a bit of a Pro Gamer myself.”

Hades 2’s Surface — like the Surface in the original 2020 release — is the game’s ultimate gauntlet, demanding patience and pinpoint execution against tougher foes. For his no-hit clear, Haelian stacked Boons such as Blitz, Poseidon Waves, and Fine Line and dealt tens of thousands of damage while never taking a single hit. His final completion time was about 14 hours and 20 minutes.

“God,” Haelian breathes. “Thank God it’s over.”

I spent 507 days obsessed with Hades 2, so I’ve gone back to the first roguelike to figure out which one I really prefer.
