Oh yeah, I know; I've been using it to help survive the earlier zones so I have the revives for the double-trouble boss fight.Note that you lose the dodge stacks granted by hermes keepsake if you switch it out, which can feel devastating if you were growing used to to them (the same is true of the butterfly). This is fine if your just leveling it, but not ideal if you were counting on the dodge to help out in the later zones.
So here's the thing, each successive level up for a boon does less and less, it basically caps out at like level 3, anything more isn't worth the pom, unless your other two options really are just absolutely terrible. Poms are in general my lowest priority picks, even a gold room is more appealing, because a gold room is 2/3s of a boon from the shop, and you Always Want More Boons. Each one you get gives you more options if not firepower, and they unlock higher tiers of stuff you can get, up to the Legendary and Duo boons that can alter your runs in very powerful ways. You'll never see the Legendaries and Duos without having the right prerequisite boons, which is a big part of why I say More Boons.

Completely agree. Poms can make an enormous difference.I don't really agree with this - I mean, yes, Poms drop off in effectiveness, but there are plenty of Boons where a Pom is still worthwhile past level 3, especially if it's core to your build. Conversely, late in a run you can often find boons that are completely worthless to you, or outright bad, depending on your build. A Pom will always provide some benefit, even if it's small. I'll often avoid Poms for Boons, but if I've got a build I like, I'll usually take the Pom instead, unless I'm looking for something specific.
But I keep dyinnggggg
I've had so many wins and have progressed almost all of my relationships with everyone to Bond status except for Artemis, Dionysus, Hermes, and fucking Hypnos
I have no idea what I need to do to progress Hypnos. I always talk to everyone between runs. Context: I've made about 80 runs or so at this point, and at this point I think I've had precisely one run that I didn't win in the past 30 or so
Blood and darkness, what's your highest Heat? I too am still waiting on the Hermes and Hypnos unlocks, and I've been here a while , so I'm guessing it's tied to something further down the story? The other gods just kind of come with taking their stuff afaik, I didn't do anything specific to unlock that final heart. Based on what Banach said might also boil down to a huge bottleneck: time. It's not hard to back up events in such a way that you're just waiting for ie runs to pass for stuff to resolve.I've made about 80 runs or so at this point, and at this point I think I've had precisely one run that I didn't win in the past 30 or so
