In the Hades, pomegranate is a key element, one that gives you a very real power by improving your skills. Rodia also offers unimaginable power in the real world, at least if you’re the Dylan streamer. “KinshipBeck. He capitalized on the power of the ancient fruit to beat the final boss of the game not with a controller, but with a literal pomegranate.
You read that right: a pomegranate. Yes, the same painful fruit you would eat to load up vitamin C and antioxidants.
Beck is best known for creative gaming and for inventing equally creative controllers. In 2019, for example, he tied a laser sword to the toy to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which allowed Jedi-ing controlled movement in vague Respawn spirit-as an action-adventure.
The spoilers follow until the end of the year Hades.
Earlier today, Beck posted a short video on Twitter showing that he is taking Hades, the last boss of the game, with a sprinkling of pomegranate pieces. All fruits are connected to Hades via Makey Makey, an educational tool designed to teach the basics of computer technology, but clearly can be rebuilt for other uses. Exhibition A: replicating a mouse and keyboard configuration and driving the filth away from the final boss of a brutal roguelike.

Hades is an unforgiving game, in which a wrong move can mean the end of a run, so using real fruit to defeat the final boss may sound impossible. But this is the draw. “I like to try to do seemingly impossible things,” Beck said Kotaku via Twitter.
Sure enough, after 33 tries – as many as he had to beat without a tree, by the way – he finally won.
Developer Supergiant Games captured what are we all thinking about in a brief tweet: “Hah, amazing !!”
It really got to the wire. If you look closely, you will see Beck using all three death challenges – that means “extra lives.” Hades-speaks – and it is dangerously close to relying on the Lucky Tooth, an object that can bring you back to life with a small amount of health.
“It simply came to our notice then. I was too focused to look, “Beck told me. “I was a little disappointed to see that I still have a life, to be honest. I like a close call! ”
It’s not the first time Beck has played the great role of Supergiant with a pomegranate connected to the wires. Just this week, he posted a video on YouTube showing the process. He reached the Death Barge, halfway through Asphodel, before being pulled out by one of those exceptionally irritated skeletal monsters. It happens to the best of us.
Yesterday, however, Beck seemed to be making some significant progress. In the another video posted on YouTube, released Bone Hydra (sorry, Lernie) and had an impressive stay on the Elysium. This time he was killed by a car. And this is what happens to the best of us.

So what did today’s winning task entail? As for weapons, Beck used Varatha, the eternal spear, and opted for Achilles’ appearance. With this fitted look, you can throw your spear and zipper at it at the touch of a button. In the typical, non-tree game, it is easily one of the best aspects of weapons. Not only does it blend perfectly with goods from almost any Olympian, but it also gives you serious navigation control. However, this does not mean that it has helped much in this situation.
“To be honest, I barely used it well, just because it was very difficult to navigate through the different pieces of pomegranate,” Beck said. “I accidentally hit pieces that I didn’t intend to make, throwing and throwing when I didn’t want to. I found it easier to attack and manage. “
It also shook Poseidon’s line, but encountered some technical problems. At various points in the 90-second clip, the dash “button” (or, well, the “piece of nasty fruit” dash) comes loose. He also chose the distribution of Aphrodite, but does not use it much, because the distributions are useless against Hades anyway. The rest of the construction focused on the blessings of Zeus and Aphrodite, including their duo, Smoldering Air, who automatically charge special abilities. He also grabbed the one that increases the power of the poms. Natural.
For this task, Beck started a new file, which means that he did not activate any modifiers The covenant of punishment. He is thinking of approaching it at higher heat on the line. Doing so will maximize the Extreme Measures modifier. (Each heat level in Extreme Measures changes the way the game’s regional bosses behave. Raising it to the end completely transforms the final fight against Hades. Even with a controller, this is considered one of the toughest challenges of the game. )
Oh, and if you’re wondering, yes, after wIn the middle, he ate the pomegranate.
