At last, my very first HL2 survive (Position 3). Didn't get a chance to fight a 4th NPC in this position. Was M50.

Persephone: http://b27.clapalong.com/?fid=N201211197921503

Took maybe 15 or so tries, something like that. Menoetius usually isn't a serious problem, but Makaria is due to her 4 cavalry; a single dodge of mutiny outbreak is pretty much fatal. After that, I need Persephone to fail several times, so Dio doesn't get hit with Soul Taking Arrows every turn.

Leveled up to 65 after that achievement. Yes, yes... I know... I did not achieve my goal of beating Phaethon at Lv 64... But 2 Poseidon's Roar wins + an HL2 survive is not that bad a consolation prize.

And now, only a few hours later, an HL2 survive in Position 2, my first demonstration of the power of the new tech Elixir.

Achlus: http://b27.clapalong.com/?fid=N20121120385907
Aeacus: http://b27.clapalong.com/?fid=N20121120386883

I can assure you this was quite a lot harder than it looked. Nemean Lion isn't much of a threat; but Achlus' water mage forces Dio to the bottom column. This is bad news for Aeacus because the cyclops armored chariot can then tank Dio (relatively speaking) while the remaining enemies rain crits, stun and noct on Dio. The fact that Aeacus is the attacker is a severe disadvantage; it means that the cavalry will very often fire his Noct before Dio fires Mutiny Outbreak. Dio's two early crits were essential.

Don't expect a Position 1 walk off anytime soon. I don't think any hero other than Dio can hope to kill the first three: Alastor, Iapetus and Androktasiai, whose cyclone mage would probably ruin any non-self-healing hero. But even after getting through all that, one is left with the big bad Super (Lv 105) Hades himself. I don't see how Dionysus could survive those Smooth Attacks. So I'm skeptical this is even possible at Lv 65.
