Hades (Video Game)	comment	Hades is a game based on Classical Mythology. Developed by Supergiant Games, the game follows Zagreus, Prince of The Underworld and son of Hades himself. When a revelation about his heritage proves to be the last straw in his strained relationship with his father, Zagreus resolves to Escape From Hell or die trying. Of course, since the game is a Roguelike, he'll succeed frequently at the latter; whether he succeeds at the former is up to the player.As befitting a Player Character of an Action RPG, Zagreus has only a few abilities available to him: He can Attack or use a Special ability with one of his Infernal Arms, which he selects from the armory every time he leaves the House of Hades to attempt escape. He can also equip a "Keepsake" which tweaks how he functions in battle; he gets these by giving consumable items to NPCs, some of whom are found in the House and others are out in the Underworld. He has a "Cast" ability to throw a bloodstone, which does a fair bit of damage. He has only one (though he can get more), and he has to go pick it up every time he uses it. He can use Video Game Dashing to get out of trouble. It is his first, and in many cases only, line of defense. It can also be combined with the basic Attack for a "Dash Attack." Zagreus can enhance himself in various ways. As he progresses through any given escape attempt, he will encounter Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, who has summoned her fellow Olympians to aid Zagreus. They give (a choice of three randomly-selected) Perks to any of the five basic abilities (Attack, Special, Cast, Dash, Dash Attack) or other tweaks to Zagreus himself. Though not a god, the artificer Daedalus can also provide Hammers which likewise add a non-permanent modification to the currently-selected Infernal Arm, with each weapon having its own list. Finally, he can find Heart Containers and money to spend in shops. All of these are lost at the end of any given run. Zagreus can play the Macrogame. Various currencies allow him to: cache the game's Randomly Generated Levels with useful power-ups, more effective healing fountains, and so on; power up his own skills; unlock new Infernal Arms; strengthen the Infernal Arms; and more. He can also level up the Keepsakes purely by using them. These are persistent between runs.The development of Hades began less than a month after the release of Supergiant's previous title, Pyre. The game received a surprise Early Access release (a first for the company) after being revealed at the Game Awards on December 6, 2018 and was released as an exclusive title of the Epic Games Store for a year on December 10th 2018, with a Steam Early Access release coming the following year. It left early access for a full release on September 17, 2020 on PC (again via Epic Games and Steam), Mac, and Nintendo Switch, with ports for the PS4, PS5, and Xbox One eventually released. In January 2024, Zagreus was added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a spirit.Not to be confused with the Roguelike Hades Vanquish from Doujin Soft developer Fox Eye, though that game also has Escaped from Hell as its main premise, nor the obscure Korean First-Person Shooter Hades from 1995 by Ablex.A sequel, Hades II, was announced at the Game Awards 2022. It follows the story of Zagreus's sister, MelinoÃ«, some time after the events of the original game. Tutored in witchcraft by Hecate, she sets out to slay Chronos, the Titan of Time, who has escaped his underworld prison, imprisoned Hades, and declared war on Olympus. Its Early-Access release is slated for Q2 2024.

Hades (Video Game) / int_108c268e	type	Hotter and Sexier
Hades (Video Game) / int_108c268e	comment	Hotter and Sexier: Compared to the previous Supergiant Games titles. There's a large amount of attractive characters (both female and male), including Aphrodite being covered by nothing but her hair and a number of male characters that show off their physique like Zagreus and Dionysus. Furthermore, while sex and romance were usually either not mentioned, or are secondary in games like Bastion and Pyre (even in Transistor, the romance between Red and "Mr. Nobody" is extremely chaste), this game allows Zagreus to romance other characters (Megaera and Thanatos, specifically) and maxing out their affection ends with a scene that implies he had sex with them. There's also the option for Zagreus to enter a relationship with both of them, which can result in a scene implying that they had a threesome.

Patroclus tells him there's simply No Accounting for Taste. When Theseus later starts feeling insecure at Zagreus's barbs, Asterius tells him to stop fussing over it since Zagreus doesn't even understand why he likes Theseus to begin with.

The Snakestones in the Temple of Styx teach you that the best way to evade a multi-directional laser attack is to Take Cover! â€” a valuable lesson when dealing with the Final Boss' version of the same attack, which has better tracking and considerably higher damage output.

Hades (Video Game) / int_1527d90d	comment	Early Game Hell: The amount of resources available to the player is quite limited at the beginning, expanding over the course of at least a couple dozen runs as the player progressively unlocks new things that encourage experimentation, provide additional room for error, and make Zagreus more powerful. At the beginning, you have only one weapon out of six, no Keepsakes (including those that give you some control over the Random Number God), no Death Defiances, let alone more advanced abilities the Mirror of Night provides. Your capacity to get resources to make your weapons stronger and purchase items and renovations (such as fountain chambers) is limited until you unlock the Pact of Punishment and thus new heat levels that freshly provide Titan Blood, Diamonds, and Ambrosia. You can't even make use of the boons given by all Olympians in the game until you reach the surface and can thus meet Demeter.

Hades (Video Game) / int_154aa477	type	Big, Screwed-Up Family
Hades (Video Game) / int_154aa477	comment	Big, Screwed-Up Family: As expected from a game based around the Greek pantheon, one of the oldest examples of the trope. Much of the game's tongue-in-cheek humour comes from the fact that â€” barring the supernatural powers and dominion over realms of existence â€” the gods act much like you'd expect a dysfunctional family to. Hades kept his son's very existence hidden from the rest of his family and isolated himself and the other Chthonic gods from them. He often speaks ill and thinks lesser of the Olympians, considering them to hate him and the others in the underworld. The Olympians themselves act friendly towards Zagreus, but still have problems with Hades. Various dialogue with both Zagreus and each of the Olympians indicate that things tend to get dysfunctional between them as well. Meg says that the Fury Sisters don't actually interact much with each other, since they're each doing their own thing and have given up on trying to find understanding and common ground between themselves. When Zagreus points this out, she calls him out on the fact that his family is possibly the most messed up ever, including the fact that his father and uncles chopped up their grandparents and threw them into the underworld.

Other characters will also comment on what's happening even if they're offscreen, such as the Narrator during expositions, and Hades during Infernal Trove challenges. Zagreus will then talk back to them when it happens. On the other hand, the humanoid bosses will also comment on the way Zagreus fights, mostly by mocking him if he takes damage. Theseus and Hades even have unique dialog lines if you use a Greater Call against them; the former labels you a cheater if the Call does a great deal of damage to him, while the latter has context-specific reactions depending on the Olympian represented by the Call.

Hades (Video Game) / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: The Narrator sometimes delves into this. This is especially obvious when he's talking about Cerberus in your first few encounters with him; the Narrator will describe him as a vicious, cold killer while the visuals onscreen show him plainly begging Zagreus to be petted. Another good example comes at the beginning of the post-game. The narrator tells you, more or less, "You've seen the garden, just assume Zagerus tended to it after he beat Hades and got out". Once you start playing again and talk to Persephone, he directly contradicts this by pointing out out that he can no longer last long on the surface without Persephone herself up there.

In the game's version of this family tree, Zeus and Demeter are foster-siblings, with Demeter along with Hera and Hestia being daughters of Hyperion rather than Chronos (though Zeus has been spreading stories of them being actual siblings) and Persephone is the daughter of Demeter and a mortal, significantly toning down the incest in her relationship with Hades.

Fight him often enough, and Asterius will give Zagreus one of the awakening phrases for his Infernal Arms, specifically the aspect of Gilgamesh, who slew a beast and then befriended it. He implies he wishes for a fight like that, and afterwards you are able to obtain Asterius' autograph for a different sidequest. He calls Zagreus "short one", but Asterius respects his strength and capabilities, and in general doesn't talk down to Zagreus. He will still fight him to the death, though.

Hades (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b	type	Gone Horribly Right
Hades (Video Game) / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: As a joke, Zagreus starts telling Orpheus a bunch of tall tales about himself (such as the fact that he and Dionysus are secretly the same person, Dionysus eggs Zag on when he learns about it). However, Orpheus takes these tales completely seriously and eventually writes a Hymn to Zagreus's honor, which is completely made up of falsehoods, such as Zagreus being Zeus' (bastard) son instead of Hades'. When Zagreus tries to tell Orpheus multiple times that everything he told him was a joke and not true, Orpheus earnestly commends Zagreus for his modesty in trying to downplay his exploits. Zagreus at this point realizes he may have made a big mistake. note This is all a literal Mythology Gag referencing Zagreus' actual role in Classical Mythology, in which he actually is Dionysus and a son of Zeus and Persephone. Zagreus was a particularly obscure figure, intrinsic to the mystery religion of Orphism, which Orpheus supposedly founded. This adds to the hilarity, because it implies that Orpheus founded an entire religion based on a prank.

Shield of Chaos's Aspect of Beowulf limits your ranged tool by altering your Cast to power up your Bull Rush instead, disregarding safety at range for extremely aggressive moveset. Heart-Seeking Bow's Aspect of Rama asks you to tag as many enemies as possible with a weapon that normally is built to snipe down single targets. Twin Fists's Aspect of Gilgamesh, a melee weapon, applies Maim debuff via specific attacks that causes the afflicted enemy to deal more damage to Zag, though they also take more for the duration and experience an explosion of damage when the debuff ends. Adamant Rail's Aspect of Lucifer wants you to take your time setting and shooting at your Hellfire mines instead of immidiate enemies.

Hades (Video Game) / int_1c0d4155	comment	Necessary Drawback: Certain Daedalus Hammer upgrades provide extremely powerful effects with an equally debilitating downside. For example, Stygius has an upgrade which heals you for each strike, but your health is reduced by sixty percent, which applies not only to your current health, but also to every health upgrade during that run. Compared to the other weapon forms, the final/hidden aspects of each weapon have powerful innate advantages combined with drawbacks and/or slower attacks. For example, the Spear's Aspect of Guan Yu adds a Life Drain effect to the weapon's spin attack (as well as changing the spin attack into a projectile), but your maximum health and the effectiveness of health upgrades are reduced.

The reason that Hades doesn't just tell Zagreus about any of this is because Hades wants to keep everything under lock and key as much as possible. Ironically, by keeping Zagreus in the dark for so long, Hades is eventually forced to address the issue with all of the repeated escape attempts that Zagreus makes.

Being ambushed by a small, furry woodland creature. Making a goat angry at him. Trying to talk to a bear. Being run over by a chariot. Discovering it was all a dream.

Hades (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb	comment	Power at a Price: Chaos' boons require you to labour under a penalty for multiple rooms before the positive effects manifest. For example, a boon from Chaos might cause your Cast gems to return to you much slower, but after clearing multiple rooms, that changes to a flat buff to your attack power. In addition, just entering the domain of Chaos requires you to give up some of your hit points. The Cosmic Egg keepsake, given to you by Chaos after giving them a bottle of nectar, is the only way to prevent this life loss. The Anvil of Fates, available only in the final area of a run from Charon's shop. You gain two Hammer of Daedalus upgrades at random, but you also lose one at random. The Midas' Touch item from the Well of Charon may allow you to gain obols for a "blood price" of losing some health. One of the Daedalus Hammer upgrades for the sword reduces the max HP of Zagreus by anything from sixty to seventy percent, but lets him recover two HP per hit in exchange.

Over the course of the game, Zag helps his parents grow and learn as much as his experiences shape him. Nyx is, for the most part, a very caring and attentive motherâ€¦ unless your name is Hypnos. While she doesn't love him any less, she is clearly exasperated with his Immortal Immaturity, and has more or less forbidden him from talking to her, in hopes that he would learn some independence. Chaos regrets the lack of contact they have had with Nyx for a very long time and advises Zagreus to keep a closer distance if he has any offspring of his own. They are very grateful should Zagreus help re-establish their relationship with Nyx.

Since this HP restoration isn't affected by the Pact's Lasting Consequences healing reduction, a legitimate strategy at high heat is to deliberately take lethal damage once per room to return health back to 30% (or more with some boons/Charon items), as this is one of the only reliable ways to regain HP at all. The few hazards that still damage Zagreus after a room is cleared (notably lava in Asphodel) can be used to deliberately "heal" through SD, which is itself a case of Not the Intended Use.

If you beat the Superboss, they will give you a plastic loyalty card. The last weapon you can unlock, the Adamant Rail, is what amounts to an assault rifle with a grenade launcher. In this case, the weapon was actually invented by the gods, but after it was used against the Titans, they were so horrified by what it could do that they refused to use it again and have made sure humanity hasn't found out about it.

Zagreus convinces Persephone to return home, begins rebuilding a relationship with his father, and they invite the other gods down for a feast to announce that Hades and Persephone eloped and that due to eating the food of the underworld, Persephone is now bound there for most of the year, a lie that it's implied the other gods see through but accept so that they can all move on with their lives. Every other character story ends largely happily as well. About the only "sad" aspect is the fact that Zagreus is eternally bound to Hades just like his father, but with their family reunited and happy, that's not considered a big deal.

However, in some situations, it's better to use 4 or 5 weaker Calls than one much stronger one. For example, it's rare that you'll need the whole 7.5 seconds of invulnerability that Athena's Greater Call grants you, whereas 1.5 seconds at a time can let you get much more mileage out of it. They're also prone to this against bosses, as they typically become invincible for a few seconds between phases, so players have to be careful of their timing (hopefully unleashing the Greater Call after such invulnerability, for full effect). The Aspect of Guan Yu, the hidden aspect of Zagreus's spear, has a pretty powerful standard attack and a spin attack that essentially shoots out a blade rift for extra damage. It's all very cool, but it also comes with a brutal reduction to your maximum health (70 percent when you initially unlock it), and, like all the hidden aspects, it takes a lot of Titan Blood to upgrade it and make that health reduction a little less damaging. Combined with the slowness of the aspect's standard attack and the warm-up time for the spin attack, it's not easy to actually make this work. Fighting the Optional Boss for the discount card in runs where Convenience Fee is active, especially when they are at higher ranks. Not only you are facing a foe that can shred your Death Defiances like paper, the discount itself is barely worth the trouble as it couldn't even remotely offset the overall price increase.

She finally allows for seasons to return once she learns of her daughter's whereabouts and gets to see her, though the area around the Temple of Styx will forever remain frozen as a reminder.

Hades (Video Game) / int_2cfee88	comment	Everybody Hates Hades: Downplayed. Overall, this is one of the softest interpretations of Hades' estrangement from the rest of the gods in Olympus, but Hades is still a bitter and overworked (though just and fair otherwise) man who has a very strained relationship with his family, including his son Zagreus. His brethren's Titan-slaying days are over, and with that gone, so does his contact with them. Still, Hades isn't even close to downright evil. Meanwhile, while the other gods are happy to help their nephew Zagreus, the son of Hades, escape the underworld (if only to spite their brother/uncle Hades in some cases), as the player learns more, it becomes clear that they hold as much fault with the Big, Screwed-Up Family as Hades does, and that several of them are even worse about relationships and empathy.

And every time he revives back in the House of Hades, he will give a snarky one-liner on whatever caused his death, and Hypnos may say something relevant in addition to that. Post-game, whenever Zagreus reaches the surface, the Narrator will describe Yet Another Stupid Death as to how he dies as opposed to showing what happens. These can be everything from suddenly catching a really bad cold to assuming the narrator has run out of ways to kill him. And should Zagreus die this way, the belly flop animation is replaced with Zagreus flashing the peace sign before descending into the blood pool.

This leaves it a very hit or miss weapon: If you can get the right Daedalus upgrades early on and a nice set of boons, you'll be unstoppable, but if you get unlucky, you'll be struggling just to stay alive.

Hades (Video Game) / int_3202932e	comment	Money Sink: The House Contractor offers some extremely pricey cosmetic items for gemstones, the priciest in the thousands range, and some items require spending multiple diamonds. Once you unlock the music stand, unlocking all the associated songs costs upwards of 50 diamonds. Eventually, you can purchase new skins for certain menus, one of which costs 25,000 darkness, which is roughly two-thirds the combined costs of maxing the Mirror of Night. The Resource Director, who appears in Hades' bedroom a few runs after Persephone's return, exchanges huge amounts of resources (particularly Darkness) to improve the rank of a badge that shows up to the left of Zagreus' health bar. It's even noted in dialogue that his services are purely for pride. Each weapon has four aspects which, besides the vanilla Zagreus aspect, and each take a large amount of Titan's Blood to upgrade to max. After maxing out one's favourite aspect for each weapon, more Blood isn't strictly necessary, but for those seeking completion of all aspects, it takes quite a lot. It takes plenty of Ambrosia to upgrade all of the companions so they can be used multiple times a run. As with the Blood, this is more for completion's sake, as only one companion can be used in a run. In the Temple of Styx, Charon's shop includes a valuable currency in the upper-right corner, which is usually a Titan Blood or a Diamond. However, it costs up to 1,200 coins; quite a money sink for players who have saved up so much from the previous levels.

Hades (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	type	Boring, but Practical
Hades (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: The Old Spiked Collar, Cerberus' keepsake. It boosts Zagreus' Hit Points, but given how universally useful hit points are, and the keepsake's complete absence of a luck-based mechanic, it's always universally useful. If one of the more Magikarp Power-based keepsakes doesn't work out due to bad luck or ceases to be relevant on the final floor, switching to the Collar is almost never a bad idea. The Lucky Tooth, Skelly's keepsake, gives Zagreus an additional (but weaker) use of Death Defiance. Like the Collar, it's almost universally useful since it also gives another layer of survivability. The Shattered Shackle, Sisyphus' keepsake, gives Zagreus damage 50/75/100% to his Attack, Special, and Cast if they're unaugmented by a boon. Not as flashy as guaranteeing your first few god boons or the Magikarp Power keepsakes, but an immediate, zero-investment doubling of all sources is quite good when starting a new run note For the curious, it takes an Epic level Aphrodite boon to meet or exceed this much Attack or Special % increase and reduces the chances of the RNG screwing your build regardless of heat. Once you've finished the first boss and you've attained enough boons to neutralize this keepsake, you can switch to your other keepsakes depending on what you've earned. The various default weapon aspects of Zagreus. Even if they cost much less to fully upgrade than the others (they only cost 1 Blood per level, up to a maximum of 5, while other aspects add up to 15 or 16), they still give decent benefits in areas that are always relevant, like dodge chance or attack power. Maxing them out first makes getting the Titan Blood you need for the other aspects much easier. Athena's boons, particularly her dash boon. They aren't flashy at all; they don't summon lightning bolts or poison enemies or do heavy damage. They simply protect youâ€¦ from everything. The dash boon in particular makes you basically impervious to damage while dodging. Charon's keepsake, the Bone Hourglass, makes items bought from the Well of Charon last longer, and much longer when maxed (+8 encounters) to the point of having extra healing, damage, or casts that can last an entire region instead of just a few rooms. Poseidon's Ocean Bounty simply increases the chamber rewards of Darkness, Gems, and Obols which is a huge boon for farming purposes for the former two while the latter makes it easier to buy more items from Charon. It also stacks with a similar boon from Chaos.

Hades (Video Game) / int_3f0310d6	comment	Magikarp Power: Poseidon's Duo Boons with Aphrodite and Dionysus do nothing on their own except permanently buffing future Poms of Power and Boons. If acquired early on, they can drastically boost your overall power level for the run if you actively hunt down Pom and Boon rooms. Demeter's Rare Crop boon makes up to 3 random (depending on its rarity) of your existing boons Common rarity, then upgrades them in rarity every 3 encounters. If you're lucky enough to get it early and have it affect the boons you want, you can grow monstrously powerful over time since rarity increases boon effficacy much more than levels. The Adamant Rail starts off pretty weak. The primary fire has the lowest damage of any attack in the game, and the grenade launcher can be unwieldy to use. However, it synergizes great with any stackable debuffs since the rail also has the fastest attack in the game, meaning you can hit full stacks nearly instantly. And with the right weapon upgrades, the grenade launcher can either become an RPG, able to shoot off multiple grenades in a row, or even both if you get lucky. Combine this with Artemis' Support Fire, and you get a constant stream of arrows fired off. Several boons start off relatively weak and/or difficult to use properly, but they are more likely to have multiple potential buffs that can dramatically increase their power and usefulness. For example, Dionysus' cast, Trippy Shot, comes out slow and has a limited range. However, there are several boons (including several Duo boons) that increase its power, make it come out faster, and give it additional status effects, turning it into a potential Swiss-Army Weapon. Even Hidden Aspects get into this.

Hades (Video Game) / int_3f1f6c04	comment	The Cover Changes the Meaning: "Good Riddance" is first heard sung by Eurydice, where it is a bittersweet, yet optimistic song about her decision to move on from her relationship with Orpheus and learning to being her own person again. The song is then later heard sung by Orpheus, where it — despiting having the same musical accompaniment — comes across as a much more melanchonic and yearning song about how he is unable to let go of Eurydice and how he feels lost without her.

This allows you to unlock Keepsakes which provide tweaks to Zagreus's statistics (like Cerberus's collar, giving him a HP boost) or increasing the likelihood of a certain specific god to give you a Boon. Improve your relationship with a character enough, requiring 5 or 6 Nectar and 1 Ambrosia, will also give Zagreus the option to use that character as an Assist Character during your run. Titan Blood allows Zagreus to unlock and empower new weapon forms.

Hades (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e	type	Happy Ending Override
Hades (Video Game) / int_53c5f30e	comment	Happy Ending Override: Inverted, and how. Many of the sidequests focus on taking tragic endings from classical Greek stories and fixing things for their protagonists in the afterlife. The ending of The Iliad sees Patroclus and Achilles both dead and the entire war a massive waste of life. The game demonstrates that Achilles has tempered his rage and chosen to mentor Zagreus, albeit living in an afterlife of misery due to a predatory contract, while Patroclus is depressed and broken due to being trapped in the violent Elysium without the man he loves. By the end, Zagreus barters through the contract and lets the two visit each other, making them far happier. The myth of Sisyphus ends with him forced to forever roll a boulder up a hill in the underworld due to his grievous sins and repeated avoidances of death. Even when the game opens, it's explicitly indicated that Sisyphus has become a friendlier man in the afterlife, and by the end of his plotline, Zagreus has ensured he no longer has to roll the boulder, finally ending his eternal sentence. The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is one of the most famously tragic conclusions in Greek history, with Orpheus' error forcing him to leave his beloved behind in the underworld, the both of them left to suffer alone due to the mistake. In Hades, Zagreus befriends both of them and ends up bringing them back together, both physically and emotionally, where they perform a stunningly beautiful duet together and reaffirm their love.

Hades (Video Game) / int_55c87054	type	Mystery Cult
Hades (Video Game) / int_55c87054	comment	A Hellenistic Mystery Cult known as Orphism considered Zagreus a figure of rebirth and an alternative form of Dionysusnote The full context for this is as complicated as it is fascinating. Essentially, the earliest known mentions of Dionysus come from the pre-Hellenic "Mycenean" religion, where he was a major Chthonic deity whose wine associations were mainly due to his links to ancient "wine cults" who believed that intoxication was actually a form of spiritual possession by Dionysus. As time went on and the wine cults became more popular and accepted, Dionysus's chthonic aspects were downplayed in favor of his wine and intoxication associations. It's believed that the Orphic Mysteries were a sort of revival of this older "Chthonic Dionysus" interpretation, attempting to bridge the inconsistencies by conflating him with Zagreus, though the mysterious and poorly-documented nature of Zagreus means we can't be certain why they chose him. The game explains this anomaly as being the result of a prank Zagreus and Dionysus pulled on Orpheus, who took it completely at face value.

Hades (Video Game) / int_575fd5e2	type	Dark Is Not Evil
Hades (Video Game) / int_575fd5e2	comment	Dark Is Not Evil: Hades is a borderline case. He's a relentless Deadpan Snarker who constantly mocks his own son and his attempts to escape, but takes his duties as God of the Dead seriously and is mostly reasonable and fair in his judgement of the shades that come before him. It turns out that he has legitimate reasons to keep Zagreus away from his mother, and he also genuinely loves Persephone. He eventually comes to mellow out when she returns and starts trying to bond with Zagreus. Zagreus himself is a straighter example, being a likable if sarcastic guy who readily befriends everyone in the Underworld who isn't Hades. This also applies to Nyx, the physical personification of night, who is shown to be a caring mother and whose actions in-game are purely benevolent. Chaos, the primordial Anthropomorphic Personification of, well, Chaos, is also quite sympathetic towards Zagreus, even as they are fully aware of his motivation to escape the Underworld and only aids him just to see what comes of it.

Hades (Video Game) / int_591c36ae	comment	Gathering Steam: Thanatos' keepsake, the Pierced Butterfly, grants Zagreus an initial 1% permanent boost to attack (up to 2% should you reach the highest level) should he finish a chamber without taking damage. If you make it far enough without taking hits, the damage boost becomes significant, as it is a percentage modifier. Hermes' keepsake, the Lambent Plume, works similarly to Thanatos' keepsake. But instead, it grants Zagreus a 1% boost to his move speed and dodge chance (up to 1.2% at the highest level) should he finish a chamber in under 30 seconds. Getting far enough into the game can make this dodge chance really significant. Aphrodite's Aid fires a projectile that Charms an enemy for a few seconds, which is nigh useless in most circumstances. But if the God Gauge is completely filled, that projectile now deals 2500 damage, making it the most damaging single hit attack in the game. Artemis' Aid fires a single homing arrow with a high critical hit chance, that costs 20% of the God Gauge rather than the usual 25%. While the critical hit chance stacks with your other critical modifiers, the arrow is still significantly weaker than other Calls, even taking the discounted God Gauge into account. Her Greater Call, however, fires a huge salvo of arrows, all of which have a high critical hit chance and stack with your other critical modifiers. With a little luck, it can tear through bosses.

Hades (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9	comment	Central Theme: Much of the main story and side quests revolve around reconciliation. For instance, if the player should choose to bridge the divide, Eurydice can forgive Orpheus for dooming her at the last minute by turning around before leaving the Underworld. A secondary theme (and which is pretty appropriate for a game based around Greco-Roman mythology) is that of cycles, the inevitability of fate, and the desire to establish one's own path. Most prominently, the game's Level Grinding is based around Zagreus' desire to escape the Underworld and establish himself as his own person independent of his father, and it's often questioned how much of his story is actually of his own doing or has been already decided for him by the Fates. Family ties are also a theme that is explored; particularly how family is imperfect at best, and abusive at worst. For example, despite being abused by his father for years, Zagreus learns to forgive Hades and the two slowly but surely form a better bond. Running away. Most major characters are running from something, and the central gameplay loop involves the main character running away from home repeatedly. The game also ultimately covers the futility of running away repeatedly instead of trying to confront one's problems, as facing said problems head-on is how anything in the story gets fixed.

It was kind, but Zagreus realizes that they embody the Central Theme of the game: running away from your problems never solves anything. He convinces the two to reconcile, and Hades commissions Zagreus to test Underworld security by continuing his breakout attempts. (Their pre-battle dialogue from this point on is much more civil.)

Hades (Video Game) / int_716c0b1b	type	And the Adventure Continues
Hades (Video Game) / int_716c0b1b	comment	And the Adventure Continues: Almost exaggerated.First, Zagreus — finally — succeeds at defeating Hades and making it into Greece, where he finds a little garden where Persephone has been living. He learns that she didn't abandon him on purpose — he died shortly after birth, and it took Nyx quite a long time to bring him Back from the Dead — and the two begin to reconcile; but Zagreus also learns that he can't stay on the surface for long due to his heritage. He is going to have to defeat Hades ten more times before he can get the whole story from both him and Persephone. On the tenth attempt, Hades lets him through without a fight. Zagreus has learned that Persephone entered a Citizenship Marriage, wanting to get away from Olympus, particularly her loutish uncle Zeus and My Beloved Smother Demeter; though it turned out to be a Perfectly Arranged Marriage, she still wasn't totally happy in the Underworld. Hades did a I Want My Beloved to Be Happy and let her set up that little cottage in Greece — for all intents and purposes a Pergatory And Limbo where she could hide from Olympus. It was kind, but Zagreus realizes that they embody the Central Theme of the game: running away from your problems never solves anything. He convinces the two to reconcile, and Hades commissions Zagreus to test Underworld security by continuing his breakout attempts. (Their pre-battle dialogue from this point on is much more civil.) The credits roll. Finally, Zagreus has to make peace between the Olympians and the Underworld, as Zeus et al will be wroth if they learn what truly happened. The Golden Ending involves giving the Gods enough Nectar that they will consent to come down for a feast, during which Hades and Persephone claim they eloped, and also claim that she is bound to the Underworld for six months of the year due to eating pomegranate seeds. The Olympians accept this at face value, though it's implied they are simply happy to have the matter resolved. Demeter lifts the Eternal Winter, and Zagreus gets to keep doing his QA testing of Underworld security, allowing players to keep playing.

Certain upgrades even entirely change the functionality of your weapon, which comes with its own benefits and drawbacks. There are also weapon aspects that can be unlocked with Titan Blood. Weapon aspects are alterations to the Infernal Arms that change one or more base aspects of the weapons for the entire run.

When Zagreus reaches Hades after defeating him nine times before, Hades has admitted to himself that he's just delaying the inevitable. By this point, Zagreus knows why Hades was trying to prevent Zagreus from seeing Persephone, that Olympus may bring their full wrath down on the Underworld if they ever found out she was still alive, and that Hades (in a twisted way) was trying to protect her. But now that it's clear Zagreus is insistent on trying to patch things up, Hades just lets Zagreus go see Persephone in spite of all of the warnings, albeit with an Implied Death Threat that should any harm befall Persephone, Hades will show Zagreus no mercy. When this happens, Hades will keep his back turned and let Zagreus walk out the door, without a boss fight. You can't even fight Hades if you want to during this scene, because Hades will just summon a shield that makes him invincible until you walk out the door. It's right after this that Zagreus finds Persephone ready to come back to the House of Hades, so it all works out in the end.

Hades (Video Game) / int_90c018ac	type	Justified Trope
Hades (Video Game) / int_90c018ac	comment	Many gameplay mechanics, tropes, and elements are either reinforced, justified, or acknowledged In-Universe. While there are obvious Breaking the Fourth Wall situations and countless incidental dialogue lines brought upon by Developer's Foresight, even the larger, recurring Roguelike elements have their own explanations: Several characters' dialogue lines may vary depending on the weapon, boons, and trinkets that Zagreus equipped. Some of them may also comment on the minor things that the player did during the current or previous escape attempts. For example, Demeter will tell you a brief story about pomegranates if you picked up a Pom of Power during your current run. From the start, Hades just mocks Zagreus's attempts at escaping the Underworld because he thinks that his son's efforts are all futile. But once the player defeats the Final Boss for the first time, Hades will impose the Pact of Punishment as a way of making Zag's further escape attempts more difficult than before, hence why the game has Hard Mode Perks. The Pact is also explained as being the improvements made to the Underworld's security since Zagreus' official new job is security testing, though the conditions are entirely up to him. Zagreus keeps on returning to the House of Hades every time he "dies" because he's being dragged there each time via the Pool of Styx. It also turns out that he can't remain on the surface world for too long either, simply because he's bound to the Underworld, and the Styx will take him back. None of the characters permanently die because they're either deities, immortals, or already dead anyway. The game has Randomly Generated Levels because the Underworld is an Eldritch Location that's designed to constantly shift itself. The Mirror of Night is acknowledged as the one thing that's making Zagreus stronger every time he collects Darkness, justifying the Macrogame. Some characters such as Megaera frequently comment on this tidbit, especially when the player keeps on defeating her in Tartarus. Others will praise Zag for growing even stronger if the player buys more upgrades.

Furthermore, boons and Daedalus Hammers give a choice out of three possible options. While Zagreus eventually obtains ways to weight the scales somewhat to his favor (keepsakes to guarantee a given's god's boon once; the "Fated" skills from the Mirror of Night allowing Zagreus to change either a room reward or what boons a god will grant), these only work a limited number of times, so Zagreus' potential power set in a given run heavily depends on chance.

Hades (Video Game) / int_99e14f05	comment	Elysium is typically understood as "Greek Heaven". While this is more-or-less true, Greek ideals of what made a "good" person deserving of Heaven often leaned towards warring and killing; the All-Loving Hero is actually fairly rare in Hellenic lore. In the game, this matter is well-understood; Hades chafes at the Greek humans' concept of a hero, saying he would rather have Heracles in Tartarus, while Patroclus bitterly comments that "paradise" isn't populated by decent people. Codex entries for the common Elysium hero enemies call them all a bunch of either sociopaths or obsessed with their weapon of choice and unable to function without it.

Hades (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	type	Difficult, but Awesome
Hades (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb	comment	Difficult, but Awesome: The final aspects to each weapon are not overkill made awesome, but rather tricky weapons with great potential but significant disadvantages one has to practice at to work around. All of them offer big, strong hits at a much slower damage-per-second than most players will be used to, so learning to play them properly is critical to surviving, but the results can be very worth it. Chaos' Boons offer stat modifiers that are higher than anything you could get through a single normal boon. To get them, however, you have to suffer through a curse for several encounters. The boons and curses are randomized each time, so the same boon can wind up behind a relatively benign curse like not seeing the next room's reward to something utterly debilitating like being damaged each time you use your basic attack. The door to the Realm of Chaos also shows up randomly, so you may have to risk fighting a boss with a curse active. The Adamant Rail is the weakest starting weapon, with a lackluster standard attack and a somewhat unwieldy special. Furthermore, it's the only weapon with a fixed clip size and needs reloading, which is another thing to juggle mid-combat. However, it synergizes very well with Status Effects due to its rapid rate of fire. If you can overcome the initial difficulty, it can grow into a deadly weapon that will chew through nearly anything. The Stygian Blade has a Daedalus upgrade which applies a persistent sixty percent reduction to your total health, including any future health upgrades. In return, you heal for two points with every hit. This means that a few good hits by bosses can kill you, but if you're careful in dodging and in repeatedly hitting the enemy, you're basically immortal. The Twin Fists of Malphon have powerful and rapid attacks, but very short range, meaning you'll take a lot more hits unless you know when to stop attacking and start dodging. Trippy Shot, Dionysus's Cast, has the highest base damage in the game, and even a build with no investment into Casting can still use it for reliable damage. The trick is actually landing the spell; it's a slow, lobbing arc, and if you miss, it takes some time for it to drop your Bloodstone. What also makes this exceptionally powerful is that there's two duo boons associated with Trippy Shot, the Zeus/Dionysus boon for extra bursts of damage for anyone in the fog and the Demeter/Dionysus boon that boosts the damage further and inflicts chill.

The story contains a rare in-universe example, as the catalyst for the plot is Zagreus finding out Persephone is his mother because he overheard the narrator describing a letter from her as "written in his mother's hand."

Hades (Video Game) / int_a0f61fe2	type	Power-Up Letdown
Hades (Video Game) / int_a0f61fe2	comment	Power-Up Letdown: Certain boons pair poorly with certain weapons, which due to the randomized nature of the game, can be problematic if you run into limited boon choices in a run. For example, slow-firing weapons like the bow benefit from boons that grant damage modifiers, whereas abilities like Zeus's lightning require high volume of fire to reach their full potential. Boons that change the behavior of casts can be this depending on your build. Some builds (such as the Aspect of Hera bow or Aspect of Beowulf shield) want casts that deal damage on impact and causes Bloodstones to dislodge quickly, which makes casts that turn your cast into a different projectile and are slow to collect (like Ares's or Demeter's casts) hard to use. Builds that wants Bloodstones to stay in enemies (to take advantage of the Boiling Blood perk, for example) don't want abilities that cause Bloodstones to dislodge. Uniquely, the Lightning Rod boon causes Bloodstones to deal damage while they remain uncollected, which pairs poorly with boons such as Greater Recall, which auto-collects Bloodstones. Double-Edged Buffs aside, certain Daedalus Hammer upgrades function more as sidegrades and can be actively detrimental depending on the build. For instance, one upgrade on the fists changes your Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs into a slow three-hit sequence, which, while damaging, doesn't pair well with boons that synergize with fast attacks.

Chthonic gods and even some humans have a slightly more modern sensibility and comment on the unfairness of the whole situation. For instance, Hades would rather punish Heracles in Tartarus if not for the hero's favor with Zeus, while Patroclus is disappointed to be trapped in "paradise" with bloodthirsty soldiers instead of the genuinely good people he knew in life.

Hades (Video Game) / int_abd29ad8	comment	No-Sell: The Cosmic Egg makes Zagreus immune to the damage taken by entering the Realm of Chaos. Eurydice's acorn gives Zagreus a barrier that absorbs the first few blows from any boss or mini-boss. Aegis can block any attack in the game while Zagreus is charging up Bull Rush, though Zagreus's back is still vulnerable. It's also notable for being the only way to destroy Hades' skull casts during his boss fight before they land; if you block them when he first casts them, they're completely obliterated, and you don't need to worry about mopping them up off the arena floor afterwards.

Likewise, Hades, for all his faults, is capable of genuiune kindness to strangers, shares his son's appreciation of the surface world's wonders, and shares his distrust of the Gods. It's also implied that he shared the same hatred for the Titans, just as Zagreus has for Hades. And for a cherry on top, both of them love Cerberus, which is evident when Hades would sometimes praise certain renovations that Zag ordered specifically for the dog.

The form they take depends on their actions in life. They can be "killed", but this simply disrupts their material forms, which they can reconstitute at a later time.

Hades (Video Game) / int_c3e4b9fd	comment	Final-Exam Boss: Not Hades himself, who is more of a Mirror Boss, but Theseus and Asterius qualify; they incorporate all of the gimmicks Elysium features. To wit: Theseus combines the gimmicks of the Strongbows and Greatshields. Like the latter, he's invulnerable to attack from the front due to his shield, and like the former, he can target Zagreus from a distance for a hefty helping of damage, complete with the same crosshair effect. Asterius combines the gimmicks of the Brightswords, Flamewheels and Nemean Chariots. He wields a massively amplified variant of the Brightsword's Ground Pound, using the same projectiles, and his basic attack is like an upscaled version of theirs. Like the latter two enemies, he can charge Zagreus with incredible maneuverability, requiring the player to juke him into hitting a wall or outrun him long enough.

Hades (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Hades (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Appropriately for a game about fighting hellish creatures and escaping the Underworld, the track "The King and the Bull" (which plays in Elysium) heavily references the classic riff from the first level of Doom's soundtrack, "At Doom's Gate". One of the keepsakes you can get is called the Harpy Feather Duster. If Zagreus purchases the rug for his room, he'll note that it will "really tie the room together". In one of the Tartarus rooms, the top of the walls will show dozens of ghostly arms trying to reach out of jail bars. When Zagreus leaves the room, he says "Farewell." There are several to Castlevania. Lernie the Bone Hydra is a dead ringer for the White Dragon enemy. It even spits fireballs. Asphodel also has its fair share of Medusa Heads. Finally, Asterius' design bears a lot of resemblance to minotaur enemies in the franchise, complete with a huge axe. One of the one-liners Hades can quip when Zagreus returns from the Pool of Styx is "And our work is never done..." Upon being revived by Skelly's Lucky Tooth Zagreus will sometimes shout "By the power of Skelly!". One of Thanatos' battle quotes is "You are already dead". Look closely at the mural on the arena floor when you fight Theseus and Asterius. As befitting of an overly macho, testosterone-filled, fire-forged friendship, it's the "You Son of a Bitch" bicep shake. Sisyphus being a significantly more sympathetic character with the very boulder he rolls being a Companion Cube with a face is quite obviously a nod to Rock of Ages. His portrayal as someone who found solace in the punishment and attraction to Bouldy are also reminiscent of his Discworld analogue from Eric. Upon activating Extreme Measures for Asterius in Elysium, he is depicted wearing armor that is, due to the horns and the sheer amount of gold, eerily reminiscent of the armor worn by Aries Mu. Upon picking up Coronacht, the bow, Zagreus may mention that "Coronacht hungers..." After you've beaten the Final Boss enough times, one of Zagreus's early parting words to Persephone is "I'll be back." One of Skelly's revival lines is "I live again, boyo!" In one of the lines Zagreus says early in the game when his hp is low , he wishes he had a healing flask which is a feature of another popular roguelike game. When Zagreus catches a Flameater with the Rod of Fishing, he will sometimes sing "Flameater!" to the tune of "Snake Eater". The Aspect of Chiron of Coronacht brings to mind the replay function of the ZF1. Orpheus's wild, voluminous dark Anime Hair is a nod to the similar hairstyle of Morpheus from The Sandman (1989)note in the comics' story, Morpheus was Orpheus's father.

Hades (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Only in comparison to some of the darkest Greek myths, but overall, this is one of the lightest interpretations of Olympus, even with the bickering and competition between the gods (which are more akin to family squabbles). The circumstances that led to Persephone and Hades marrying are a lot more consensual compared to the myths. Rather than being kidnapped by Hades, Persephone was a "gift" to Hades from Zeus but stayed with him willingly to get away from the gods of Olympus, who she viewed as far too decadent and abrasive. Other controversial aspects of the myths, such as Brotherâ€“Sister Incest, are either adjusted to appeal more to a modern day audience or are outright removed, though nods to how the mythology was originally are hinted and mentioned, mostly by the gods mentioning spreading false stories or twisting facts out of either hatred or pettiness.

Hades (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	type	Developer's Foresight
Hades (Video Game) / int_d24ed873	comment	Developer's Foresight: When defeated, Megaera will spend her downtime in the lounge, an area which isn't open at the start of the game. Should you defeat her before the lounge is actually re-opened, she'll instead be standing somewhere nearby where the Lounge would be open, so as not to lock you out of interacting with her. Normally upon losing to Zagreus, Megaera states that the battle didn't count, as you have an advantage because of the mirror's upgrades. If you follow up by resetting all your upgrades and then beat her without them, she will acknowledge this. One of the writers also clarified that there are three different versions of the follow-up event back at the House of Hades, depending on where your relationship with her is at the time. Much like in Supergiant's past games, there is a metric ton of incidental or situational dialog. For example, Hermes will acknowledge if you have the speedrun timer enabled or if you had your victory streak broken, while Zagreus's lines upon entering Chaos Gates will differ if you equipped him with the Cosmic Egg. Other triggers can include carrying certain weapons that a god approves (or disapproves) of, receiving boons from another specific god, having the Pact of Punishment enabled (with unique dialogue for a regular file vs. a Hell Mode file), getting certain rare encounters in a previous run, or dying in an unusual manner. If you have Megaera's chthonic companion with you, it can't be used in the Fury boss fight, as she obviously can't attack herself and wouldn't hurt her sisters. Similarly, Thanatos can't be summoned in one of his contests, and Skelly will refuse to act as a target for Charon, his boss. Attempting to use Dusa's also won't work if you try it after she gets temporarily fired. Should you use a Call from a god after angering them in a Trial of the Gods, Zagreus will note the awkwardness of the situation. There's even an achievement for using a Greater Call of a god against them in one of these trials titled "Bad Call" for doing this. The angered Gods also get special dialogue when invoking their Greater Call, which is usually much more aggressive towards Zagreus. For instance, Zeus will comment on "the sheer audacity" of using his Greater Call once you've made him mad at you. If you grab a weapon from the arsenal, go back inside of the House of Hades, and attempt to attack, the game won't let you, saying that there's "no fighting in the house". When you give Hades his first bottle of Nectar during the main game, he will snark at Zagreus for trying to butter him up. However, if you wait until the epilogue of the story and then give Hades the first bottle, his response will be considerably more mellow. You can't quit the game at the gates of the Underworld before the Final Boss. This is to prevent Save Scumming for the power-ups you want in case a god's Boon, a hammer, or the Anvil of Fates is on sale. You cannot quit in the middle of a boss fight to prevent people from abusing the save system to redo a badly done fight. If you pick up a Pom of Power without having anything that can gain a level, you'll get the Spare Wealth option, which gives you some Obols. This is the only way that Spare Wealth can show up. It is possible to play the game through the end credits without speaking to Nyx. On the off chance a player does that and speaks to her for the first time in the postgame, her dialogue will reflect that. Similarly, if the player reaches the end credits before Orpheus resumes singing in the house and/or without ever having visited a Eurydice chamber, Zagreus will be confused when they hear their voice(s) sing the end credits song. It is possible (but also very difficult) to reach the Final Boss without Olympian boons, usually by liberal use of the Pool of Purging and avoiding said boons. Dialogue between Zagreus and said boss will change to reflect that. If the Employee of the Month is either Megaera or the Shade Broker and the portrait is examined, they will respond to it (providing the former is in the lounge at least). When you face Theseus as part of the third boss fight, he'll call on the Olympians for aid when he gets down to half HP. The god that Theseus invokes will always be one who Zagreus hasn't encountered during that run, to avoid any potential conflict of why an Olympian is Playing Both Sides. The one time that the Final Boss is a Skippable Boss, you can just walk out the door to the surface without a fight. Should you try attacking the boss anyway, a shield pops up which prevents any damage to them, giving you no choice but to walk away. If you equip a Keepsake from an Olympian God, your next boon is usually guaranteed to be from that god. The exception is if your next boon is from Hermes, who takes precedence. If Hermes shows up, he will acknowledge how you expected another god to show up, but he got there more quickly. Summoned allies have special dialogue when summoned in certain situations — e.g. summoning Dusa against the Megagorgon (which looks like a souped-up enemy version of her) or Achilles and Patroclus against Theseus and Asterius. In many cases, the enemy encounter will react accordingly. Bosses have unique dialogue if they are placed under the Charm Status Effect.

Hades (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b	type	GameplayAndStoryIntegration
Hades (Video Game) / int_e6630c8b	comment	Gameplay and Story Integration: Many gameplay mechanics, tropes, and elements are either reinforced, justified, or acknowledged In-Universe. While there are obvious Breaking the Fourth Wall situations and countless incidental dialogue lines brought upon by Developer's Foresight, even the larger, recurring Roguelike elements have their own explanations: Several characters' dialogue lines may vary depending on the weapon, boons, and trinkets that Zagreus equipped. Some of them may also comment on the minor things that the player did during the current or previous escape attempts. For example, Demeter will tell you a brief story about pomegranates if you picked up a Pom of Power during your current run. From the start, Hades just mocks Zagreus's attempts at escaping the Underworld because he thinks that his son's efforts are all futile. But once the player defeats the Final Boss for the first time, Hades will impose the Pact of Punishment as a way of making Zag's further escape attempts more difficult than before, hence why the game has Hard Mode Perks. The Pact is also explained as being the improvements made to the Underworld's security since Zagreus' official new job is security testing, though the conditions are entirely up to him. Zagreus keeps on returning to the House of Hades every time he "dies" because he's being dragged there each time via the Pool of Styx. It also turns out that he can't remain on the surface world for too long either, simply because he's bound to the Underworld, and the Styx will take him back. None of the characters permanently die because they're either deities, immortals, or already dead anyway. The game has Randomly Generated Levels because the Underworld is an Eldritch Location that's designed to constantly shift itself. The Mirror of Night is acknowledged as the one thing that's making Zagreus stronger every time he collects Darkness, justifying the Macrogame. Some characters such as Megaera frequently comment on this tidbit, especially when the player keeps on defeating her in Tartarus. Others will praise Zag for growing even stronger if the player buys more upgrades. Certain characters will give you "Companion" keepsakes, plushies that will allow Zagreus to summon help during encounters. However, there are a number of scenarios that will not allow you to use it because it wouldn't make sense. Thanatos' Companion Mort will not summon him if he is already in the room, Meg's Companion Battie won't summon her during a fight against her or her sisters, Skelly's Companion Rib won't summon him while fighting Charon, his employer, and none of the former two, Dusa's Companion Fidi, or Achilles' Companion Antos can be used against the Final Boss Hades, because none of them would actively work against him like that, at least until the epilogue, where Hades can give them his approval to do so. There are instances wherein Cerberus and/or Hades would be absent in the House, but most of these happen whenever Zagreus dies in the Temple of Styx, or when he's defeated by Hades himself. It naturally makes sense because Zagreus arrives via the pool of Styx first, and inspecting either Cerberus's post or Hades's desk will have Zag mention that the missing character is still near the surface world. But when Zagreus meets Persephone for the first time in Greece, both Hades and Cerberus already returned to the House when he came back, because as it turns out, Zag spent quite some time bonding with his birth mother.

Hades (Video Game) / int_ea480f92	comment	Simple, yet Awesome: By default, you have to mash the attack button to strike foes repeatedly using most weapons. However, certain Daedalus Hammer upgrades for each weapon simplify their control schemes, allowing you to spam your attacks by holding down the attack button instead. Not only that, these upgrades also come with additional gimmicks to somehow offset their benefits. Of particular note, the Delta Chamber for the Exagryph fires off 3-round bursts, but you'll never have to reload ever again. Many Hermes boons fall into this category. Greatest Reflex grants more consecutive dashes. This allows you to spam the effects of other dash-activated boons such as Zeus's Thunder Dash. "Side Hustle" gives you +10 obols (IE gold) every time you enter a new room. A run typically consists of about 45 rooms. Considering you can buy an Extra Life for 200 obols, "Side Hustle"'s value should be obvious. "Quick Favor" automatically charges your Limit Break. It does so pretty slowly — it can take a maximum of 200 seconds to get it all the way up — but in a game as hectic as Hades, anything which automates your systems and spares you a bit of brainpower is worth its weight in obols. He has all the boons which say, "Your Attack or your Special happens faster." These are also conditional but also worth their weight in obols when paired with any Weapon Aspect which turns Zagreus into a Mighy Glacier (which is most of the Hidden Aspects).

Later, Persephone decides to have Zagreus message all of the gods, including Chaos, so that Hades and Persephone can reveal their relationship, claiming that they were forbidden out of fear, but Zagreus convinced them to open up. Of course, it's a lie as to why Persephone claims she disappeared, but it works, and it's implied that all the other Olympians are aware but just want to move on.

This causes most of its inhabitants endless frustration, especially Hades himself. He constantly tries to commission a sundial, but the Contractors repeatedly refuse. Zagreus himelf always gets confused about the time, even when using figures of speech or cracking jokes that only mention night or day indirectly. Many recurring jokes are character-specific: Zagreus will absolutely refuse to use any chairs, and grows increasingly snarky about it over the course of the game. Tisiphone and her vocabulary only consisting of the word "Murderer". At certain points, Zagreus will lampshade or make jokes about it. Over a few more fights, he eventually teaches her to say his name. It's not much better. Hypnos's commentaries on Zagreus's "deaths" also follow certain patterns. If he reads Zag's cause of death as "Redacted", it meant that Zag died in his battles against Hades. If the cause of death is read as "Natural Causes", it meant that Zag died from being forcibly dragged by Styx all the way from Greece. Over time, Hypnos wonders why such words keep on appearing in his accounting records.

Hades (Video Game) / int_fb7c7ffb	type	Video Game Weapon Stats
Hades (Video Game) / int_fb7c7ffb	comment	Video Game Weapon Stats: There are various weapons that Zagreus can take with him during his escape attempts, each with their own different abilities. However, considering how the game's mechanics interact with each other, the below tropes only necessarily describe the default forms of the weapons. For example, an unmodified bow does most of its damage with slow attacks that require charging, but buff the special with at least one Zeus boon, and it allows for rapid-fire attacks that can have a crushing damage output. The Sword: Jack of All Stats. The Stygian Blade is the default weapon to get the hang of the controls; it has decent knockback, speed, range, damage, and crowd control, but it isn't the best at any one of those areas. The Shield: Stone Wall. The Shield of Chaos allows Zag to charge up a dash move, and it's the only one of the weapons that can block (while charging the dash). But its attacks are weak and single-hit, requiring good Boons and Hammer upgrades to even come close the damage of other weapons. The Bow: Mighty Glacier. The Heart-Seeking Bow is the slowest-to-fire projectile weapon, it can be fired in arcs for good crowd control, and its arrows pierce through enemies. As a trade-off, the arrows don't do much damage per hit unless charged up and fired at the right time. The Spear: Fragile Speedster. The Eternal Spear has a longer range than other melee weapons, and a charge-up area-of-effect slice for crowds. However, the spear's regular attacks are focused on only one target unless upgraded. And while the spear can be thrown for long-range combat, Zag can't attack until he recalls it. The Glove: Close-Range Combatant. The Fists of Malphon allow for a flurry of rapid-fire attacks, but each individual hit is weak. You also have to be up-close and personal to hit with it. The Cannon: Mechanically-Unusual/Long-Range Fighter. The Adamant Rail allows for rapid-fire bullets and launching a massive area-of-effect bomb for big damage from a safe distance. However, while the gun has infinite ammo, both of its ammo types need to reload, preventing Zagreus from going all out with them. Also, Zagreus has to stand still for a while when attacking with the cannon, slowing down his movements. Finally, its attacks trigger the least amount of stun against foes, and has no knockback without upgrades from Poseidon's boons, encouraging Zagreus to stay further back than any of the other weapons to fight effectively without facing counter-attacks.

Hades (Video Game) / int_fef3305b	comment	Situational Damage Attack: The bow has a Critical Hit mechanic, doing additional damage if you release at the correct time. The Status Effects of the Gods deal damage based on their rarity and the attack the Boon is applied to. Slow attacks like the Bow's primary attack or the Rail's special add a lot of extra damage per strike from Doom and Hangover, while rapid-firing weapons like the Spear and Rail's primary attack add much less extra damage per hit. The gods may also give Status Curse effects (i.e. Ruptured, Exposed) to their pre-existing boons, dealing bonus damage depending on the enemy's state. Some Mirror upgrades increase the damage dealt when attacking enemies from behind (Shadow Presence), when the enemy isn't damaged yet (Fiery Presence), when the enemy is struck with a blood stone (Boiling Blood), or when the enemy is inflicted with at least two status curses (Priviledged Status). Some Daedalus Hammer upgrades cause the weapon to deal more damage depending on circumstances such as the target's distance from Zagreus.

Hades (Video Game) / int_ff7f34c5	type	Pet the Dog
Hades (Video Game) / int_ff7f34c5	comment	Pet the Dog: Both figuratively and literally! You can give Nectar and Ambrosia to Cerberus, the Hades family's pet dog and guardian of the Underworld; the House's long-suffering maid, Dusa; the long-suffering souls like Sisyphus; and even some of the bosses you defeat. With the "Big Bad" update, Zagreus is also given the option to pet Cerberus. When he reaches the Temple of Styx and realizes that Cerberus is guarding the way out again, he flatly refuses to attack Cerberus and instead raids the Satyr squatters of the Temple for a treat to bribe Cerberus into letting him through. After Persephone has settled in during the Playable Epilogue, the very curmudgeonly Hades sincerely thanks Zagreus for what he did. While Theseus is a pompous blowhard who refuses to believe that Zagreus is anything but an evil monster who must be defeated, he clearly cares a great deal about Asterius. Despite being the one who slew Asterius in life, Theseus willingly rescued Asterius from the depths of Erebus so they could fight side by side in Elysium, and he now treats Asterius as a genuine comrade and equal. During an escape attempt, Hades may stop to ponder the surface world, admiring its beauty, just before Zagreus tells him to shut up and fight him. There's a slight chance that Hades, at the start of a run, may neutrally tell Zagreus to learn about how each God grants their boons. That may not seem like much, but for a perpetual grouch like Hades, it's a lot.

Hades (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
Hades (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Zagreus is a real Greek god, although an extremely obscure and mysterious one (surviving references to him number in the single digits). As in the game, he is a Chthonic god associated with the underworld, and in some myths, is the son of Persephone and Hades, though other sources seem to suggest that he is Hades. The game explains the scarcity of sources related to him as a result of Hades and Persephone hiding his existence due to the scandalous nature of his conception, while the former is referenced in some post-game dialogue where Hades suspects Zagreus may one day replace him as ruler of the Underworld. A Hellenistic Mystery Cult known as Orphism considered Zagreus a figure of rebirth and an alternative form of Dionysusnote The full context for this is as complicated as it is fascinating. Essentially, the earliest known mentions of Dionysus come from the pre-Hellenic "Mycenean" religion, where he was a major Chthonic deity whose wine associations were mainly due to his links to ancient "wine cults" who believed that intoxication was actually a form of spiritual possession by Dionysus. As time went on and the wine cults became more popular and accepted, Dionysus's chthonic aspects were downplayed in favor of his wine and intoxication associations. It's believed that the Orphic Mysteries were a sort of revival of this older "Chthonic Dionysus" interpretation, attempting to bridge the inconsistencies by conflating him with Zagreus, though the mysterious and poorly-documented nature of Zagreus means we can't be certain why they chose him. The game explains this anomaly as being the result of a prank Zagreus and Dionysus pulled on Orpheus, who took it completely at face value. Elysium is typically understood as "Greek Heaven". While this is more-or-less true, Greek ideals of what made a "good" person deserving of Heaven often leaned towards warring and killing; the All-Loving Hero is actually fairly rare in Hellenic lore. In the game, this matter is well-understood; Hades chafes at the Greek humans' concept of a hero, saying he would rather have Heracles in Tartarus, while Patroclus bitterly comments that "paradise" isn't populated by decent people. Codex entries for the common Elysium hero enemies call them all a bunch of either sociopaths or obsessed with their weapon of choice and unable to function without it. It's subtle, but Patroclus appears to be slightly older than Achilles. This was, in fact, the case in the original mythology. Eurydice being a dryad nymph, as weird as it may seem, is a reference to actual myths where she's depicted as a nymph; sometimes a dryad, sometimes a naiad, but usually a nymph rather than a human. Dusa as Medusa's severed head working in the House of Hades may be a nod to The Odyssey, where after Odysseus enters the Underworld, he fears that "Persephone might send forth upon [him] from out the house of Hades the head of the Gorgon, that awful monster".
