If theseus gets too close or im getting overwhelmed/recieve multiple strikes from asterius i dash out to the opposite side of the arena to calm down and focus, i then wait for asterius to come to me. Now, the boss fight, i always focus on asterius first, trying to dodge the most amount of attacks i can while using the openings he leaves to deal the most damage i can, while at the same time dodging/deflecting theseus' spear throws, its also a good idea to stand behind the pillars to block them. Wells of charon (purple cauldrons from where you can buy temporal buffs) are pretty common and really useful Once you kill the champion shades make sure to kill the floating eyes right away. I was getting to elysium consistently on my 4th run and beyond, and it took me 10 tries to best it, so be patient and keep trying. Anyways, any tips would be greatly appreciated, specifically on how to deal with the warrior guys. I think what's most hard, is I'm getting a lot better with the chariots and the butterfly things, but I'm just not getting any better with the warrior dudes (sorry I forgot what they're called). It's more difficult to predict their attacks than other things in the game. Especially with the little warrior guys, they get me every single time. I try to be strategic when I'm fighting, but even with that I always get overwhelmed. There's so much to explore and discover that I'm just. It's not a problem that I'm dying, I enjoy going back and talking to my friends, but I definitely want to progress a little further into Elysium before I die (I've only gotten to the Minotaur + Theseus once of the probably 5 times I've entered Elysium, I haven't found a single healing chamber there yet, and I usually end up dying pretty early on. The amount of shades in each chamber that I have to fight is so much it often gets overwhelming and confusing and I die. However, Elysium has been a really big challenge for me.

At this point I can get through Tartarus with no problem, and can get through Asphodel probably 62% of the time with little to no problem. I got Hades on friday last week and I've been basically non stop playing it.
