unlock fists. athena dash. open the mirror until you get the Privileged Status perk. get minor prophecies desk from the contractor if you haven't. hermes plume is bonkers with starting fists especially maxed out. also get max revives
yeah at max rank it gives a 40% damage boost when an enemy has 2 active curses (weakness, hangover, freeze, jolted) it even works on bosses. it's near the bottom of the mirror
Dodge more, and be sure to get optimal boons as much as you can. Probably the best boon for somebody new to the game is Athena, specifically her dash boon. Athena gives you reflect abilities, and on dash this basically means you take no damage at all while dashing and reflect it back at people instead. Makes surviving way easier in general but bosses especially.
Zeus and Poseidon can be tempting boon pickups because they make clearing rooms faster, but for bosses you want Demeter, Dionysus, Ares, and Artemis.
Dionysus' hangover effect is great as an attack boon on a fast-attacking weapon, but it's strongest on your cast ability regardless of weapon.
Demeter also offers some nice abilities on your cast, those laser crystals are extremely convenient for stacking on damage while you focus on dodging. Her abilities are also pretty good for general attack / special buffs.
Artemis has a very good cast ability, a decent special, and her attack boon is very useful on slower, high damage weapons especially if you get it to a high rank.
Ares has an excellent attack boon, Doom, that is worth picking up on either your attack or special. His cast can also be good, but if you have access to any of the others mentioned, skip on it.
Oh, forgot Aphrodite. She's also super useful because of her Weakened status effect. I wouldn't say she's outright better than the ones I listed but I'd pick her before Zeus or Poseidon if I needed some kind of edge against an upcoming boss.

Playing badly. Hades is easy as shit. You sound like an autistic acquaintance who was dumbfounded and thought I had to be playing on easy mode because I made it past wiener and Bull in a day while he was still struggling on Hydra after a week. You're just bad.
Suck my dick butthole.
It's a roguelike, Keep grinding til you unlock more shit.
Playing like shit
there are plenty of easy mode weapons. which are you using?
All of them. Just whichever one gives extra crystals. Spear is easily my favorite.
Skill issue
dodge more and think harder about your upgrade choices I guess.
thats how it goes you will get better at it
What weapon are you using?
accept the glory of best girl into your heart for good fortune
Not unusual, but start picking better pairing of gods and focus

I've been using that cool little line from asphodel to warm up whenever I play bass lately. this game is so cool.
You're playing a shitty grinding game

Spear is the best.
How do I use my titan blood? I'm supposed to use it at the weapon altars but I don't seem to be able?
have to unlock all weapons, then when you select one, try and select it again for the sub menu

Use the bow or the gun if you have it unlocked. Ranged weapons are playing the game on easy mode.
Prioritize Dedalus hammers whenever you see them.
