==Advanced Gameplay== === Tips and Tricks === * Mobility is key. It's rarely safe to stand still and spam attack (unless you have a single enemy stunlocked). Dashing is by far more effective than moving, as it grants you invincibility frames, and it can deal damage with a dash upgrade. A dash-attack-dash-attack pattern can help you avoid being hit. === Keepsakes === The [[Old Spiked Collar]] is a very good first [[Keepsakes|keepsake]] for the early game. It can be obtained early on by giving a Nectar to [[Cerberus]], and the health boost will greatly help survivability. As you unlock more keepsakes, experiment and find what suit your playstyle the most. Once you have the [[Mirror of Night|Thick Skin]] mirror upgrade, the collar becomes rather unimportant, but it may still be situationally useful. The [[Myrmidon Bracer]] from [[Achilles]] is a good defensive keepsake to run in high damage areas such as Asphodel or Elysium, where it can get lots of value. However, you must keep in mind that it only reduces damage from in front of you, and will increase damage from behind you. [[Skelly]]'s [[Lucky Tooth]] will act as a Death Defiance, granting you one extra chance should you end up in trouble. Finally, once you reach Elysium, the [[Broken Spearpoint]] from [[Patroclus]] is very useful for dealing with enemies with rapid and fast repeated attacks, such as Soul Catchers and the Exalted. All the Olympian keepsakes will let you target your boons to create a build that works well. If you like [[Chaos]] boons, the [[Cosmic Egg]] greatly increases the rarity of Chaos boons and removes the health cost of the Chaos Gate. However, the Cosmic Egg does not increase the chance of a Chaos Gate spawning in the first place, so buy Light of Ixion from wells to make the most use of it.
