oh?

deft path
#

Okay so main takeaways so far is

untold sable
#

Just get hit hahah

deft path
#

Give megara orange juice

lament flame
#

I wonder how ambrosia tastes

untold sable
#

But get hit anyway. Bc Than's reasons for showing up is to help Zag. Which the game recognizes as if you take damage in previous rooms

#

I think it was written that Ambrosia tastes like your favourite thing/greatest desire

#

Dont quote me lmao

#

But it tastes different for everyone

lament flame
#

Hmmmm

junior field
#

mmm, mandragora's bath water it is then

#

goes down smoothly

untold sable
#

Mandragora bath water

#

The new craze

uneven loom
#

Wait I thought at the end of transistor, red already fixed everything?

junior field
#

you can't wish the dead back

supple dagger
#

@uneven loom ...did you play that game all the way thru?

#

where did you get that ending? that'd be beautiful

uneven loom
#

Long time ago

#

I don’t remember very well

supple dagger
#

I played three times, each time a little harder. That was definitely NOT the ending. Lmao

uneven loom
#

I thought she fixes the city, removed the process, and then killls herself?

supple dagger
#

No. Cloudbank still gets wiped and unable to reverse everything and get her loved one back, she decides to join him, in the Country.

#

I just hope Sybil's not there

uneven loom
#

Damn. That’s sadder than I remember.

junior field
#

she does rebuild the city, what are you on about?

#

don't you remember the voting terminals? you were the only one around to vote

pallid crag
#

not really the channel for this, i think, so I'll put my thoughts in #transistor

uneven loom
#

Aight we move

twilit swan
#

what are in the locked rooms to the left of the house?

junior field
#

the one right off Achilles is Hades' room, dunno bout the one at the bottom but you can see shades walk in and out of it

cloud lion
#

lets ransack daddy's room and pretend satyr did it.

junior field
#

we will raid Hades' room and make satyrs pay for it!

cloud lion
#

can't wait

#

whatever makes him angry works for me

#

healthy father & son relationship

near crown
#

Next Olympian is Demeter? Or maybe Fortuna?

junior field
#

Fortuna makes no sense, Chaos already fills that role

near crown
#

The teaser looks like they've got the concurnopia with em, and those are the only olympians I think who're related to it, other than Zeus himself. Heracles also did something with it but he's no olympian.

junior field
#

I wonder if Icarus is somewhere in the Underworld

pallid crag
#

cornucopia and wheat wreath

junior field
#

his dad makes rooms for Hades, wonder if the son is employed somewhere, too

near crown
#

Well, most likely Demeter or her kid, then.

cloud lion
#

asphodel seems fit for Icarus

junior field
#

oof, what a burn

cloud lion
#

teeheeohnooo melted

junior field
#

except Asphodel wasn't always a molten hell hole

near crown
#

I wonder what role, if any, he would fill.

junior field
#

he was a creative type, like his dad

cloud lion
#

yeah. Asphodel meadow. but in the game now it is all about dat lava

junior field
#

hm, I suppose the chronology of events would be a bit difficult to establish

#

still, Icarus died before the bull

#

though Asphodel probably burned after Persephone left

cloud lion
#

squirtheh Hephaestus don't work for hell. would he ever want to help Zag and slip his hammer down here tho.

junior field
#

why not Prometheus, actually?

near crown
#

Icarus's dad was Daedalus, wasnt it?

junior field
#

is he still chained down there?

#

yeah

cloud lion
#

yeah probs still chilling while birb pecking him innards.

junior field
#

I recall that his release was eventually negotiated or something

near crown
#

None of the Titans have made an appearance yet, right?

cloud lion
#

wait. Zag never knew what a birb is

#

yeah so far none

junior field
#

oh, Heracles freed him

cloud lion
#

well yeah zepp some npcs are depending on the time period we're in.

near crown
#

I wonder if they ever will. I doubt they have much to do with escaping the Underworld, especially since they're quite antagonistic to the Olympians

junior field
#

well, Zag mentions that Heracles has already been to the Underworld and back

#

and that he's also dead

cloud lion
#

least we know Sisyphus is here, Heracles been down and back

#

remaining titans are either still in prison or Zeus released them (in elysium i think?) later on.

junior field
#

Prometheus could have a fire theme going

cloud lion
#

then we have cronus the king of elysium.

junior field
#

I believe the rebelled titans are rotting in Tartarus in Hades

near crown
#

Prometheus is all about sharing forbidden, powerful knowledge, so he could perhaps boost our calls

junior field
#

unlike their mythological counter parts

#

rotting in multiple pieces, that is

near crown
#

Or give us a call of our own.

junior field
#

fire seems like a sensible choice though

#

considering he was the bringer of fire

near crown
#

What would Hep do, then? We already gave smithing to Daedalus

cloud lion
#

rooThink he's forbidden knowledge are forbidden to hooman, not gods tho.

junior field
#

why are you expecting Hephaestus?

near crown
#

He's an Olympian

pallid crag
#

not all olympians will be added

cloud lion
#

Olympian Gods. maybe some of them are not in the game of helping Zag.

pallid crag
#

the next update is the last iirc

near crown
#

Not even the main 12? Huh

cloud lion
junior field
#

it can't be the last

#

Apollo is mentioned in the subtitles

pallid crag
#

wym

near crown
#

As is Hestia (we've got her gun).

pearl plank
#

i finally remembered to use bouldy! 🎉

junior field
#

there are text strings for Apollo, that mention his description and introductory line

pearl plank
#

in the final boss fight, completely unnecessary but, i did it! lol

near crown
#

Also Id never thought the goddess of the hearth would be the one who used a machine gun.

lament flame
#

Grats

pearl plank
#

lol ty

#

pretty sure i went through like 20 runs forgetting about his existence the entire time

pallid crag
#

datamined discussion is apparently not allowed

pearl plank
#

yeah those are spoilers i'd rather not know even in here. plus, could be obsolete

pallid crag
#

and its very possible any datamined info is from discarded concepts

pearl plank
#

gnight y'all

junior field
#

well, wink wink nudge nudge, can't wait for the country club Apollo

cloud lion
#

how about apollo gives you chariot instead of boons

junior field
#

pls no

cloud lion
#

squirtheh just joking

junior field
#

no movement speed garbage

cobalt summit
#

What is the lightning bolt icon that's appearing when I take damage?

#

I have started a new run

#

oH is it my myrmidon bracer

fickle yoke
#

yup

cobalt summit
#

thanx achilles

cloud lion
lament flame
#

Me: got heal from Sisiphys
Next chamber: fountain
Me and Sisiphys: Are we joke to you?

fickle yoke
#

Looks like Bouldy is a joke for youbouldy

lament flame
#

Eh?

fickle yoke
#

failbag wait i thought u used Shady in battle for heal

#

nvm i'm dunb

lament flame
#

Nah I am using Mort right now

uneven loom
#

How do we know that the next Olympian will be the last

junior field
#

we don't

uneven loom
#

Why do people keep saying that then lol

junior field
#

no idea

lament flame
#

Dunno. It's just a feeling

fickle yoke
#

@uneven loom Greg20.12.2019
@quartz edge 'Will we see all the Olympians in the game?'

We plan to add one more Olympian, so no. They don't all make sense for the game and story and we don't want to shoehorn them for the sake of it. It also makes sense some of them would be off doing other things. We do have ideas for what all of them could be like, and I think we will probably end up at least name-checking the ones who don't make the cut.

#

shadedisgruntled that's that

uneven loom
#

😦

lament flame
#

That makes sense

fickle yoke
#

so we can have some of them as aspects

#

like Apollo for bow

#

Athena for spear

#

Haephestus for sword mb

#

who we are missing?

#

Demeter yes

lament flame
#

I don't think Heaphestus will be one of the aspects

#

Apollo definitely will be a bow aspect

fickle yoke
#

will see

minor oyster
#

@uneven loom Their roadmap for this year is "another olympian"

#

Not "more olympians"

#

Also yeah gznm has the quote

uneven loom
#

Sad. I really hoped we would get at least Hera eventually because she is so iconic. At the very least, I hope we get one new boon per god by years end

minor oyster
#

I mean sort of, we'll be getting the new god's duos

#

After the new god we're getting the last weapon and after that is 1.0 release with the ending

uneven loom
#

I really like gimmick boons like Artemis dash attack, life affirmation, Dionysus sippy cup, and Artemis arrows

minor oyster
#

If you want more boons then you're going to have to hope they do it with 1.0

#

Artemis arrows are actually pretty good for the right build

uneven loom
#

They’re quite good in general imo

#

They are very rarely bad. Basically only bad with bow or Hestia gun

#

I hope they do regular updates after 1.0 that add new content and build opportunities. Very common with rogue likes

fickle yoke
#

if u play with Special rail they are not so good too

lapis smelt
#

They may do expansions but i do not think that regular content updates will be a thing for Hades.

#

And honestly I’m fine with that. At most they might do some bug fixes post 1.0 but I would expect them to move onto their next game post 1.0

uneven loom
#

Probably. It’s a lot of effort and they’re a small company. I think a lot of people would spend hundreds on dlc given the opportunity, me included

lapis smelt
#

I think they may or may not try one just to see how it goes. But expecting anything beyond that is wishful thinking. They didn’t want to make Bastion 2 for that same reason IIRC

junior field
#

what reason?

uneven loom
#

Accurate. I hope they continue with more games like hades and pyre though. They are so good and dialogue and aesthetic. I’m hoping that the next game is like hades in the sense that it is has heavy rpg elements and an emphasis on dialogue. Imo hades is like a fusion between pyre and transistor and I love it

junior field
#

no sport games, pls

uneven loom
#

I know nothing about hades’s engine, but I feel like the gameplay cycle would be very amenable to modding

#

I would pay 100 dollars for an afterbirth-plus style dlc that adds a lot of modding capability

fickle yoke
#

damn

#

i just realised Bastion has no russian(

#

but...

minor oyster
#

Pyre was a sports game.

#

It was basically NBA Jam the visual novel

junior field
#

the gameplay loop wasn't enjoyable though, and the story was tied to winning and losing, including having to throw for "good" endings

#

it's my least favorite SG game

quartz edge
#

That guy Icebox asking good questions I see.

#

Worth keeping an eye out for, that one.

odd totem
#

is it only me that feels uncomfortable with Thanatos being romanceable considering that until just prior to the events of the game they thought they were half brothers???

fickle yoke
#

Looks like Greek gods never cared about that much

hollow garden
#

Interesting point actually tbf. Kinda just forgot about that.

lapis smelt
#

Pretty much. That and the fact that incest laws were only really used to prevent inbreeding means that romance between Than and Zag is really sort of okay? Sort of not to some people?

hollow garden
#

Tbf I guess after giving 10 gifts it's been a significant amount of time to hash out feelings

lapis smelt
#

Greek Mythos has a ton of incest.

hollow garden
#

So it's not like in a generic anime where the stepsister has a crush on the protagonist for basically the entire series. dangit sao

fickle yoke
#

@lapis smelt carefully

#

moders dont like that theme

lapis smelt
#

Hence why I said ‘sort of’ since it’s a very YMMV thing.

fickle yoke
#

also they are gods

lapis smelt
#

^^

iron flame
#

At this point in Hades' story development, it's more like Nyx runs an orphanage than has a big family. Between Zag and the three fury sisters (also raised by Nyx but not related), it's like she's just running Hades' halfway home. 😄

fickle yoke
#

they are higher then humans law

hollow garden
#

Basically Hades can't be bothered to feed the dang kids so Nyx does it for him

fickle yoke
#

also Demeter os not onlty Zags grndma

#

but his aunt too

#

complicated yes?

hollow garden
#

Yeah we've gone into that before lol. Let's not revisit it :p

#

Greek mythos is all sorts of interesting

fickle yoke
#

also even in greek myths can be different variations

#

random authors make random textes

#

and one god can have different parents

uneven pike
#

ive given 1 gift to everyone now and gotten all the trinkets who should i focus gifts on next

fickle yoke
#

@uneven pike gift 2 and 3 for chaos

#

and u will have 2 more prophecy for fated list

#

and there are 4 characters (for now) who can give you Companions/Summons/Legendary Keepsake

#

so you may focus them with Nectar

livid minnow
#

Hi. How do i unlock those boxes under the other keepsakes?

hasty basin
#

do what gznm was just talking about, give nectar to specific characters (i haven't done all but i think skelly, meg, thanatos, sysiphus? it's on the wiki)

broken elk
#

ok so i been feeding the grim reaper and got to ambrosia and he gave me a companion - but in the codex there is this weird arrow - whats that all about

pearl plank
#

The grim but sensitive reaper

minor oyster
#

@broken elk If you give him more Ambrosia it starts you down the relationship route

broken elk
#

ok i figured as much but its a new symbol for me. i seen the clocks and the locks, but it's like a weird purple arrow

#

i assume that means more of the same then get him drunk

#

i cannot seem to find the fates objectives anywhere on the wiki can anyone give me a link to it if it exists? I actually thought there was just a set amount but tonight i got a new one for buying a poster for my room or something

karmic vine
#

apparently I'd never fought Meg with the adamant rail before because I met her with it today and OF COURSE she had to say something about it

loud tiger
#

Could be the specific aspect you're using

#

for example Chaos will say something if you're using the Chaos Aspect on Aegis

minor oyster
#

@broken elk They're an upgrade for your room from the renovations shade

#

Oh you mean the hidden ones

#

Not sure

lapis smelt
#

There’s also a comment if you have a weapon aspect equipped when you run into Meg. It’s where Meg pokes fun at Zag being in a healthy relationship

slim crescent
#

@fickle yoke who gives the companions?

tame bronze
#

In celebration of finally getting max hearts with Thanatos I've been blasting Last Words.

drifting citrus
#

@slim crescent than, meg, skelly, sisyphus

minor oyster
#

That's his theme right?

#

Its sick as hell

junior shard
#

so i'm currently stuck in meg's relationship thing because of a heart with a keyhole

#

what do i need to do to get past that

lapis smelt
#

You have to let it wait for the right moment to show up. It’s when Meg shows up in your room

minor oyster
#

If you've been on Extreme Measures for a bit then do a run with it off then turn it on 1 again and do a run

#

There is a good chance it'll happen then

junior shard
#

It’s when Meg shows up in your room
ooo

lapis smelt
#

No. It’s not that kind of show up in your room ||yet||

junior shard
#

i ahven't been using extreme measures, might do taht next run

gusty crag
#

Daily reminder that Artemis is the ideal being and should be worshipped for her perfection

#

#ArtemisBestGirl

junior shard
#

is it after all 3 fight you?

karmic vine
#

theseus got all bent out of shape about me having a yarn of ariadne on me from the well of charon
been a while since he had anything new to say to me

uneven loom
#

@gusty crag tfw no socially isolated huntress goddess gf

gusty crag
#

I believe she will come for us

#

The next update for sure

cloud lion
#

rooThink so you want artemis showing up in your room?

#

morosLaugh I'm getting the idea of ||her boons' showing up instead of her|| if that could happen

gusty crag
#

I believe that we will be able to go hunt with the perfect goddess in 1.0

cloud lion
#

morosLaugh I'd like that

pearl plank
#

!!!!!!!!! finally got Chaos legendary boooooooooooooooon

#

list of prophecies ✅

split sinew
#

how did you acquire it ?

zinc vine
#

pray to rngesus

cloud lion
#

by lucking it out

#

only saw it twice. geez

lament flame
#

Same but omg this legendary is very useful

cloud lion
#

one DD, who wouldn't like that

#

teeheeohnooo gimme more

lament flame
#

Eh there was a time when we could got 6 DDs
The good times

cloud lion
#

teeheeohnooo i think my luck is out since I got rarity up and attack +71% boons from grandpa chaos last run with hestia gun.

#

probs gon get bunch of common boons next run

#

teeheeohnooo hate and love chaos

pearl plank
#

i made precisely 0 use of the boon itself lol, didn't lose any DD's to begin with. BUT. i've been taking every chance to see chaos for everrrrr it feels like. always buying them in the well, going to see them in elysium, taking chaos curses through the dynamic duo battle lol idgaf!

#

at least one time i had 4 chaos boons by the end (is it possible to get 5?)

#

finallyyyyy paid off

#

grandparent* chaos 😎

#

lol i finally completed the list of prophecies before the new update, maybe i can take a break for a few days now lol

#

we'll see

azure latch
#

Does anyone have a screen of the 32 pact of punishment reward statue?

junior field
merry sorrel
#

those are actually nice statues

junior field
#

except for the 32 one

light ivy
#

clicked that because I'll never be good enough at the game to unlock those and oh my god

#

that's amazing

azure latch
#

I've been trying and I've thrown on Godmode and I just cant seem to do it haha

#

thanks @junior field

tame bronze
#

Skelly is so extra

lament flame
#

I like how if you unlock all of statues Zagreus comments on them and truly admire them shadesmile

#

Third statue is the best one even if it is the hadest to get

junior field
#

I like first and 2nd better

#

the 3rd one doesn't make sense to me, since Skelly never uses weapons. The pose also looks weird, as if his legs are fused at the base

#

I'd understand if it was some kinda reference to Skelly's past, before he died, but it clearly isn't

lament flame
#

None of statues actually make sense but they all kinda funny. I though they just a parody of those fancy greek and roman statues of gods

broken elk
#

Just discovered that the grim reaper and zarg maybe played a little too much 'doctor' when they were younger.

austere fox
#

@uneven loom yeah you were asking about mods or smth?

#

looked at my mentions

#

@broken elk why google drive?

@opaque hull won't let me just upload an image for some reason dunno why

I was just thinking of something.
Does anyone remember Hunchback of Notre Dame?

#

Zagreus is like that old man that breaks free then gets trapped again

austere fox
#

@broken elk just upload on imgur or some other website and post the direct link, discord supports embed information

plucky oracle
#

can someone remind me whether Chaos can see into the future?

#

Or is it just the fates? Wondering since the Chaos did give... birth(?) to the Moirai I believe

fickle yoke
#

Nyx did

#

actually)

plucky oracle
#

Oh so not directly but rather like grandchildren

#

ok yeah def wrong there lul

#

but regardless, can he see into the future?

fickle yoke
#

but also there are lot versions

#

hm

lament flame
#

As I remember he can see infinite possibilities of particular event

fickle yoke
#

and he can interfere

plucky oracle
#

So basically, yes, and no

lament flame
#

Yep

plucky oracle
#

That's the best answer because it basically means you can use it in practically any way you want to

#

For example: Want to warn someone? I can see the future, don't do that! Don't want to warn someone? Well, I can see many futures, but I have no way of telling which you'll take. glhf lol dont look back

lament flame
#

Chaos is observer which watches with interest but don't interfere to much

#

They're reminding me of Outsider's behavior in Dishonored

dreamy mortar
#

Found Eurydice in Asphodel again during my run. Couldn't be bothered to continue the run. Just standing there listening to the song.

fickle yoke
#

failbag you know there are some guys... they like to watch

lament flame
#

Yeah, her voice is wonderful

dreamy mortar
#

Yeah... I've got the in-game timer on. I've been standing for at least 8 minutes now

uneven loom
#

The soundtrack and singing in this game♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🐻

fickle yoke
#

well SGG all about good story, music and songs

lament flame
#

Bless Darren and Ashley they've done a big and wonderful job

tame bronze
#

It gives me that same kind of happiness I had when I played games like Pokemon Diamond/Platinum and Undertale. Just getting lost in the music sometimes.

acoustic lake
#

Stopping and waiting to listen to Eurydice or Orpheus like lying on the floor with Napstablook

pearl plank
#

(Chaos is 'they,' not 'he' 😊💜)

acoustic lake
#

also this

lament flame
#

Aaah forgot!

pearl plank
#

It's ok, I'm sure Chaos appreciates as long as we're trying to remember 😁

plucky oracle
#

Well I was completely wrong about their pronouns earlier, but there are also some accounts of Chaos being "her"

minor oyster
#

I'm fairly certain pronouns as a concept in general aren't even applicable to Chaos. I don't think they care at all

plucky oracle
#

There is also that

minor oyster
#

We only apply them for our own comfort

#

Much like how Chaos applies that form in and of itself just so we can comprehend them

acoustic lake
#

It would probably be easier to remember but the circumstances of their existence means not a lot of characters refer to them, so we don't see their pronouns much

fickle yoke
#

chaos is more male form

tame bronze
#

Out of all the gods, top three favorites everyone?

plucky oracle
#

the in game one does certainly have a more masculine appearance

minor oyster
#

I would say they're neither entirely

fickle yoke
#

after all he had some chilldren with some goddess

plucky oracle
#

but chaos was regarded as either she or they

minor oyster
#

The 'masculinity' you're seeing is just the portrayal of Greek gods imho

plucky oracle
#

it was less "children" more "exude"

lament flame
#

This is problem of my first language. In Russia we don't have a proper pronoun for nb people and gods

plucky oracle
#

chaos yeets children out of her e x i s t e n c e

acoustic lake
#

Did chaos have children with other gods? Thought the gods just sprang out of the void/chaos

plucky oracle
#

like i said

junior field
#

@plucky oracle I don't believe he can see into the future

plucky oracle
#

chaotic yeeting

minor oyster
#

Chaos just produced them

#

"yeeting." Gonna use that.

plucky oracle
#

isn't it just much more pleasing?

junior field
#

he has some lines about circumventing fates' designs

minor oyster
#

More memetic for sure

plucky oracle
#

"how is nyx?"
"chaos yeet"
"ah, yes"

pearl plank
#

I mean as far as Chaos as a character goes I can appreciate that interpretation, but they're our they/them non-binary character, making an effort to respect their pronouns basically is showing the effort to respect people's pronouns in general, which will make real life people feel more respected and accepted by extension

tame bronze
#

Chaos: Hmmm I'm feeling lonely. yeets gods into existence

#

That's how it went right?

lament flame
#

Agree with leusid

junior field
#

more along the lines of "what if I did this?"

acoustic lake
#

Yeah that's kind of my feel

junior field
#

he sees a myriad possibilities now

#

once chose, new options become available

plucky oracle
#

and i'll yeet you, and you, oh and you

junior field
#

and he sees all of em, again

#

unlike fates, that stick to the grand design

plucky oracle
#

don't the fates create the design themselves?

acoustic lake
#

Yeah I think the Fates weave destiny

minor oyster
#

I can understand that but that's more arguing for saying 'they/them' in context of them rather than saying what they are. Just pointing out that they wouldn't largely care because well, as an agender person who doesn't really care about gendered pronouns about myself I would understand that as most fitting for a sexless, genderless being @pearl plank

junior field
#

yes, but once made it cannot be changed

#

except for Chaos, who can bypass em

minor oyster
#

Its more of in-universe talk vs meta talk

junior field
#

messing up their grand design

minor oyster
#

Meta use they/them

plucky oracle
#

I'm pretty sure Chaos literally pointed out that they don't give a singular ounce of a shid about what pronouns are used for them

acoustic lake
#

Fair

junior field
#

remember Disney's Hercules?

plucky oracle
#

though I may be misremembering*

minor oyster
#

Chaos did indeed say that now that I remember

junior field
#

when Hercules dived into Styx to save Meg, fates were about to snap his line, ending his life

minor oyster
#

It wasn't exactly about pronouns though I think

junior field
#

but in that moment, his line turned invincible

minor oyster
#

I think it was titles in general

#

'What do I call you' etc

junior field
#

an unforeseen twist!

tame bronze
#

Trying to understand the Fates is like only observing the backside of a tapestry.

plucky oracle
#

I mean, pronouns are in essence, titles

acoustic lake
#

I'd take that with a grain of salt though, Disney messed with a loooot of the lore, though largely to appeal to children and a more conservative audience

plucky oracle
#

we all messing with lore here to be fair

junior field
#

sure, just using a visual example

#

Chaos is above all, after all

minor oyster
#

Yes, and they're important to us. This isn't to diminish them lets get that disclaimer out first Xeni

plucky oracle
#

supergiant just did it much better than disney :^)

acoustic lake
#

I was under the impression though that that was correct, the Fates were weaving destiny themselves

#

and I see Supergiant's narrative subtext suggesting the same is true in their game

minor oyster
#

The fates are a manifestation of Destiny if we take their role literally in Greek mythology

acoustic lake
#

Is the narrator supposed to be one of the Fates?

junior field
#

no

minor oyster
#

No he's not

junior field
#

he's one of dead philosophers

minor oyster

The fates are all women iirc

plucky oracle
#

Yeah they're women

tame bronze
#

That would be crazy

fickle yoke
#

squirtnya Chronos

acoustic lake
#

right

plucky oracle
#

Their names are the moirai fyi

minor oyster
#

Actually yeah who the hell is the Narrator?

plucky oracle
#

he's just vibing bro

#

don't worry about it

#

he really just voice in da head

fickle yoke
#

mb Deadalus himself?

acoustic lake
#

Zagreus talks directly to them on many occassions

minor oyster
#

Clearly he's actually a character

plucky oracle
#

nah daedalus also vibin

plucky spear
#

It's the guy that narrates the rites in Pyre Kappa

minor oyster
#

He can't be Daedalus because Zag mentions him as gone

junior field
#

@plucky oracle moirai literally means fates in ancient greek

fickle yoke
#

he is not gone

#

he is locked somewhere iirc

plucky oracle
#

Daedalus isn't really gone he's just not "active" in his Daedalus'ing

minor oyster
#

That's still "gone"

plucky oracle
#

yes that is a word shuup

minor oyster
#

He's not actively here

junior field
#

what? Daedalus is active all the time

#

don't you memba, he keeps changing the rooms

plucky oracle
#

I mean, neither are the fates, but you could say the fates are always there because fate

acoustic lake
#

The narrator also talks directly to the player on many occasions; whenever you beat Hades they tell you more or less to pretend he still got beaten

minor oyster
#

No he's not, these are the things he left

junior field
#

that's his punishment

fickle yoke
#

@junior field no

#

he constructed all this chambers

minor oyster
#

Zag specifically says these are the things he left behind while making everything

plucky oracle
#

It's less that he changes rooms and more that he constructed them all

minor oyster
#

^

fickle yoke
#

they just works without his activityes now

junior field
#

what gives you the impression that he's "gone"?

plucky oracle
#

Daedalus, afaik, was hired by Hades even as a shade to construct things

minor oyster
#

Daedalus is somewhere but where we don't know. Hence "gone."

fickle yoke
#

Zag doesnt know

junior field
#

just because his tools were left doesn't mean he suddenly stopped creating rooms

fickle yoke
#

looks like Hades keeping him somewhere

junior field
#

because he could just as easily create new tools for himself

minor oyster
#

We're never given any indication of either Zepp

acoustic lake
#

ah, we can't share images. I'll copy and paste the text

plucky oracle
#

Also, if you turn the Heat setting that upgrades the bosses to max, you'll get some text about Daedalus crafting the equipment and armor Theseus and Asterius use

junior field
#

upload to imgur and post the link

acoustic lake
#

'...The master artisan called Daedalus has never known a peer, so it is little accident that the Lord Hades hand-selected him from all the shades residing in the Underworld to do his bidding for eternity, and for a hallowed place within Elysium, somewhere. Having designed the interlocking chambers all through Tartarus, and even the floorplan of the Lord Hades' house, Daedalus since discarded his own tools so that now others may make careful changes fitting of a genius such as he.'

plucky oracle
#

That's the most we get about it

minor oyster
#

Yeah a long time ago

plucky oracle
#

now I'm not 100% sure on this, but I'm pretty sure he's also responsible for repairing it

minor oyster
#

Perhaps but once again we're given no indication

#

For all we know he made tons lmao

junior field
#

@acoustic lake so does that mean he's somewhere in Elysium, still working for Hades?

minor oyster
#

The chariots are all in the warehouse with Hades capes

#

LMAO

plucky oracle
#

lmaoo

#

i mean

acoustic lake
#

Good question. I think he's mentioned a few other times over various playthroughs but I don't remember exactly what was said about him

plucky oracle
#

it could be but I'm pretty sure it mentions that he was the one repairing it actively

viral kiln
#

pretty sure there is something about the macedonian armor the bull and king wear during the boosted fight

#

and how daedalus had a hand in it

minor oyster
#

I never heard any dialog that said Daed repaired the chariot

#

You're going to have to find that

plucky oracle
#

I think Zagreus says something about daedalus repairing it constantly thanks to him smashing it

fickle yoke
#

Chariots is just souls

acoustic lake
#

That rings true to me though, like I said, I don't have a quote to back it

minor oyster
#

My dialog said that he just got it repaired

fickle yoke
#

not oblects

minor oyster
#

Didn't mention Daed at all

plucky oracle
#

I'll have to run it again, if I see anything I'll run it by ya

minor oyster

And I've killed that thing like 50 times now

plucky oracle

that is a lot of theseus kills

that guy drives me mad i cannot stand his pompous ass omg

This image is from two days ago tho

I love Theseus I'ma be real

His joyriding is hilarious

He's so damn smug I'm surprised he doesn't' collapse in on himself

plucky oracle

Theseus:

  • poopy

  • screams at own ass
  • dumb idiot stupid
    Heracles:
  • cool
  • heroic
  • saveds peopel
  • very nice and smart

i think theseus had the most early game kills on me

minus hades

plucky oracle

any objections? didn't think so

viral kiln

tho i had a 16 win streak till i started my 32 heat grind

all i'll say is that supergiant designed him to be hated

plucky oracle
#

Ik ik

#

I jest

viral kiln
#

pretty sure he's pompous af in myths too

#

tho ill need to fact check that since i never looked him up

plucky oracle
#

If you hate a character that's designed to be hateable, that means the designers did their job right

lament flame
#

He is

viral kiln
#

can wait to see how demeter plays into the story tho

plucky oracle
#

Technically, I like his character, but I like it because I know he is meant to be a pompous prick

viral kiln
#

knowing her personality and relationship to hades

plucky oracle
#

Oh, is Demeter the new olympian?

viral kiln
#

the cornucopia

#

its my theory

sleek mauve
#

can somebody tell me how many health bars the final boss has?

acoustic lake
#

Yeah it looks like there's a cornucopia in the picture

viral kiln
#

sleek mauve
#

thx

plucky oracle
#

ohhh you're absolutely right

acoustic lake
#

Makes me wonder what powers might be associated with her, if she has regular boons

plucky oracle
#

That's kinda confusing though

#

I mean... why would Demeter help Zagreus?

acoustic lake
#

She might have an alternative mechanic compared to the others, like how Chaos' boons don't work the same as the Olympians

lament flame
#

Yeah

viral kiln
#

cus she hates hades

#

and loves her daughter

#

demeter is persephone's mom

plucky oracle
#

Yeah, but by that extension, I feel like she would hate Zagreus for being associated with Hades, no?

viral kiln
#

persephone is zagerus's mom

tame bronze
#

Will we have to earn her trust before getting her boons?

viral kiln
#

he is literally trying to get away from hades

#

dont think so

#

but it would be cool

plucky oracle
#

Yeah, but he was also created partially from hades, and I'm pretty sure Demeter sees their pairing as a genuine atrocity

fickle yoke
#

@viral kiln big question - Does Demeter knows Zag is Persephone's son?

plucky oracle
#

Oh holll up

acoustic lake
#

Well take all this into account with the fact that the rest of the Olympians were unaware of Zagreus' existence or his connection to Persephone rather than Nyx

plucky oracle
#

Yeah

acoustic lake
#

Yeah exactly

plucky oracle
#

that

#

Demeter's gotta know

#

Oh that's so confusing

acoustic lake
#

The presentation of their announcement makes it seem like this is going to be a big story drop too

#

Lotsa story here

tame bronze
#

Gotta love story drops

plucky oracle
#

expect the unexpected with this one

#

quoted directly from the announcement

#

hype rising

junior field
#

I mentioned it before, but Supergiant might have changed this aspect

acoustic lake
#

Makes you wonder if it's not Demeter

fickle yoke
#

it's not such unexpecting tbh

plucky oracle
#

same

fickle yoke
#

lolol

junior field
#

remember how Persephone's letter doesn't mention Zagreus, at all?

acoustic lake
#

and if it is, what's she got to do with all this?

fickle yoke
#

@junior field only Cerberus

junior field
#

I got the impression that Zagreus might not be Persephone's biological child

fickle yoke
#

so who is her son after all?

#

no it's not

plucky oracle
#

It doesn't mention Zagreus, but do note that in pretty much all accounts in the lore, Persephone is involved in the creation of Zagreus

fickle yoke
#

it's confirmed that he is their son

plucky oracle
#

So that would be a pretty sizable lore-break

fickle yoke
#

Pers and Hades i mean

tame bronze
#

I'm half wondering if they are using Cerberus as a sort of codeword?

junior field
#

as in, Hades had Zagreus made out of a piece of Hades and a piece of Persephone, without her knowledge

tame bronze
#

Anyone else thought that?

acoustic lake
#

The narrator tells us and Zagreus that she's his mother

plucky oracle
#

that could also be it

acoustic lake
#

Unreliable narrator though?

plucky oracle
#

Yeah I'd like to think the narrator wasn't lying to us though, that would honestly kind of be a lame "plot twist"

junior field
#

she's his mother in the sense that he was made out of her, but she may not have given birth to him

viral kiln
#

he has been killing zag on farm tools lol

junior field
#

which would explain why the letter doesn't mention her own son

brave cobalt
#

I thought narrator is Hades

acoustic lake
#

Different voice

lament flame
#

@tame bronze actually they can. I didn't thought about that

junior field
#

Persephone didn't know about Zagreus' existence, so Demeter might not know either

plucky oracle
#

you mean didn't uwu

#

i think

#

cuz don't lul

tame bronze
#

@lament flame Conspiracy theory activated.

plucky oracle
#

game theory

#

thanks for watching

acoustic lake
#

Did any of you ever get a vibe that Hades wants Zagreus to escape?

fickle yoke
#

not escape

plucky oracle
#

Yes, absolutely

#

He wants him to meet Persephone

fickle yoke
#

but just train him hard way

plucky oracle
#

Maybe not escape though

#

More like "see I told you so" is the vibe I'm getting

tame bronze
#

I think he wants Zag to find the truth but doesn't necessarily want to lose his son either.

plucky oracle
#

which worries me for our poor ol' Zag-man

acoustic lake
#

They've hinted at a lot of things being weird or potentially bad

minor oyster
#

Hades definitely doesn't want Zag out from his dialog

junior field
#

Narrator is called mythmaker in the subtitles, so it's definitely not Hades himself

acoustic lake
#

Like, who hired Skelly?

minor oyster
#

He does want him to grow, hence the bounties, but idk about escape

acoustic lake
#

Why are all those weapons in the room with him? Achilles doesn't know where they came from iirc

#

nor Nyx

fickle yoke
#

no

#

he knows

#

and he did that

junior field
#

the weapons are there because titans are down there, in Tartarus

#

and the weapons yearn for titan blood

minor oyster
#

Hades mentions himself the weapons end up with who they want

acoustic lake
#

Ah

junior field
#

hence blood unlocking aspects

uneven loom

theory crafting be like: “several people are typing”

fickle yoke

he just dont pretend

Skelly though?

Hey, to anyone interested in modding for Hades, I have created a discord server to discuss and share knowledge, link in #self-promotion !

no idea about Skelly

skelly was defo hired by achilles

Skelly is a mystery

acc to me

no proof

acoustic lake

Achilles says he has no idea who hired him

minor oyster
#

Achilles says he has no idea yeah

fickle yoke
#

skelly is Hades or Persephone's worker

junior field
#

Hades would make sense

minor oyster
#

Skelly is Bouldy's pawn

#

clearly

fickle yoke
#

yes respawn portal looks like all hades minions

junior field
#

actually, yeah

plucky oracle
#

skelly is actualy gamer

acoustic lake
#

If I had to guess, maybe Hades wants him to get up and mess up stuff on Olympus

junior field
#

exactly, Skelly uses the same portal as Hades' minions

tame bronze
#

Bouldy is the true mastermind confirmed.

plucky oracle
#

don't tell hades 🤫

midnight sinew
#

is there any characters you can actually max on hearts right now?

So I wonder who Skelly was in his mortal life

plucky oracle

Thanatos, Sisyphus, Skelly, and Megaera

@midnight sinew companion ones

Sistlyphis and skelly

@midnight sinew also add 2 more Nectar to Chaos to have 2 more prophecies

why are you booing me? I'm right

Today's the day hopefully. Got max hearts on Thanatos but I'm hoping to get that one scene in Zag's bedroom.

Good luck!

Kind of find it funny though how Hermes and Ares have been commenting on the relationship. That was a nice touch.

lament flame
#

Yes. It's kinda cute

#

Also Ares said gay rights

tame bronze

Ares, Hermes, Dionysus, Artemis are like my top favs.

fickle yoke

ATHENA DASH TO CARRY THE GAME

Ares is kinda creepy with his blood and death obsession but he is god of war after all

Yup

brave cobalt

Aww thats cute as well!

pearl plank
#

@tame bronze interesting thought about cerberus being a code word, not wanting to put Zag's name in writing...... tho Hades did tell Zag directly to tell Pers that cerberus is doing well which, lol.. wouldn't really make sense in concealing Zag's identity at that point

#

maybe he just didn't want Zag to know he cares about him, like the classic emotionally constipated jerk he is

tame bronze
#

Emotionally constipated pretty much sums up Hades to a T.

surreal swift
#

Hades doesn't have time in his schedule to be a dad

#

He's too busy making time to stop Zag from leaving

pearl plank
#

classic abuser

proven summit
#

anybody else think it's annoying that sometimes meg and thanatos just decide to not be there when you have ambriosa to give?

junior field
#

eh, sort of

#

have you tried reentering the big room?

#

people sometimes appear/leave when you do that

acoustic lake
#

One time I accidentally forgot to talk to Nyx before walking into the bedroom and went back and she wasn't there

junior field
#

yep, learned that lesson real quick

fickle yoke
#

@proven summit there are 4(for now) characters which can give you Companion

#

Sisiphus is one of them

proven summit
#

ah alright, and he can give you bouldy?

fickle yoke
#

if u lvlup his relationship

#

with nectar

#

well almosrt

proven summit
#

yeah i know how all of that works

fickle yoke
#

he give u some toy

#

it can SUMMON bouldy to the battle

lament flame
#

This toy name is Shady and he's a real cutie! Also has cool sound effect when you equip him

fickle yoke
#

Did anyone mentioned - all enemies leave some dark substance in fight

#

even Hades

#

only Zag is bleeding

lament flame
#

Hades too? Gosh

proven summit
#

yeah he got the blood from like, his mother

fickle yoke
#

his mother goddess too

lament flame
#

I think this black substance may be darkness itself but most likely blood of gods just have different color.

fickle yoke
#

Funny

#

i just realised

#

oh nvm

lament flame
#

Alecto has line about color of Zagreus blood (that's she is calling him redblood)

fickle yoke
#

and also god of trash 😄

#

I mean Zag must be god of something?)

lament flame
#

Heh

pearl plank
lament flame
#

Oh thank you!

pearl plank
#

np just recently learned of that myself haha

bleak osprey
#

i like the idea of golden blood because it would be super aesthetic on thanatos ilu

lament flame
#

Y E S

bleak osprey
fickle yoke
#

so it's transparent?

lament flame
#

In medicine - yes, but in mythology - no

fickle yoke
#

volfredthink it cant be transparent in medicine

lament flame
#

Can be

#

It values from transparent to light yellow

fickle yoke
#

failbag why does russian wiki says it's transparent and english says nothing about it

#

funny - Oil is giants ichor)

lament flame
#

Also would be cool if ichor of each of the Gods had different color not just black

fickle yoke
#

i do not think gods can be wounded so easy

lament flame
#

Yes but still this is interesting concept

fickle yoke
#

and we have only 1 god fight

#

oh

#

and what about Meg

#

i never mentioned her blood

#

but i remeber she dies just like Zag

lament flame
#

Huh

#

Actually she is

fickle yoke
#

and her other sisters just turn in bats or something

lament flame
#

I though it was butterflies

fickle yoke
#

more like bats

#

and sound like bats

lament flame
#

Make sense

fickle yoke
#

no she has same dark liquid

celest cosmos
#

Zag is the God of blood, that’s why he bleeds

fickle yoke
#

God of reborn i might say

celest cosmos
#

Nah, it’s in the game with a conversation about it when you romance Thanatos

#

Achilles writes it in the journal and Zag is like “I’m not the God of anything!” And he’s like “You’re the son of a God and you control blood shards...”

#

Comes back from a pool of blood, etc

lament flame
#

Achilles thinks Zag is god of blood so we can't say for sure but it is fair point and actually a good explanation

fickle yoke
#

bloodstones?

lament flame
#

Yep

celest cosmos
#

Well that’s true but yeah, I think it’s a pretty good assumption

fickle yoke
#

I still think he has both part of god of dead and god of the living

#

and Demeter is god of season also have somekinda cycle of life and death

#

in winter and summer

lament flame
#

That's why title "God of Blood" suits Zagreus well. Blood is associated with both life and death

#

Without blood we (mortals) will die

agile wadi
#

tbf the pool of blood isnt specific to zag

#

thats just the river styx

lament flame
#

You right

agile wadi
#

the blood stones do appear to be zag specific, but when hades tags you with his skulls the condition is called the same as yours is

fickle yoke
#

well

#

is it coincidence that debuff called Boiling blood

#

and casts called bloodstones?

glad lion
#

Its hard to find but in actual myth isn't Zagreus sometimes the god of rebirth?
and thematically it would make sense with leaving the underworld repeatedly for every run
also I like the dialog Hades has of "you shrug off death as if its nothing" or something along those lines

lament flame
#

Yes, he maybe god of rebirth but "rebirth prosses" not exclusive to Zag. Hades and Meg also came back each time they were "killed" by Zagreus

fickle yoke
#

same as Hades

#

and all other

You can chose between Tanatos or Megaera romance route actually. Or not choose, but romance both at same time (they are okay with that)

you don't have to choose, you can do both of em

There arn't any lewds in-game?

@junior field I said that too ;)

hollow garden

Think Persona but the social links don't offer you things every level and only 2 characters are romanceable instead of the entire female cast.

sharp night
#

It's a good system but i think they can add a bunch of stuff for all the characters

worldly beacon
#

Wait you can romance than?

fickle yoke
#

failbag romance Cerber. Dusa. Hades. Skelly. Wretched broker. Master-chef?

sharp night
#

Only Tanatos or Megaera

I wanted Arthemis

#

But all i got was a tsundere

fickle yoke
#

Artemis is impossible choice

sharp night
#

She's the best of all the Olympian gods

#

Hands down

fickle yoke
#

failbag why?

sharp night

character wise i like her more then Aphrodite, i mean they are both fantasticly made but I'm a sucker for charaters like Artemis

Plus she gives crit

#

@worldly beacon yes, you can romance than!

fickle yoke
#

how does her utiluty

solar depot
#

oh wait someone answered you already 🙌

fickle yoke

makes her good person for romance?

It dosen't

and if we speak about wisdom you choose Athena

I'll have to get some more ambrosia then lol

#

I've been spending it all Upgrading the bouldy legendary keepsake

#

After getting it maxed I think I have 1 ambrosia

fickle yoke
#

Aretmida may look mild but dont forget Orion

#

or Adonis

lament flame
#

Artemis seems more honest in her emotions than the other gods, at least this is how I feel. I want to hang out with her (and hug her)

sharp night
#

I agree @lament flame

#

She gives me that teenager vibe

solar depot
#

also, i think it's only reasonable that finding someone useful and valuable in practical realms might just increase your liking of them and thus your desire to romance 🙏

lament flame
#

Yes

fickle yoke
#

Olympian gods are hot-tempered revengeful and shifty

coarse stone
#

Aphrodite loves everyone. But if you don't love her, she wants you ded.

sharp night
#

Going on story alone Arthemis has almost nothing bad to Hades or Zag

fickle yoke
#

i might say they are pretty close to people

solar depot
#

mood

coarse stone
#

Artemis seems like the only sane woman in the Olympians xD

sharp night
#

Ups

#

Seeing how she distants herself from her crazy family just makes her taht more attractive

fickle yoke
#

sane?

#

Read about Calisto

lament flame
#

True

coarse stone
#

Well Artemis' followers had very specific requirements

fickle yoke
#

so much sanity - turn violated woman into a bear

coarse stone
#

Wasn't that Hera who did that?

#

Out of jealousy since Zeus was the one who turned himself into Artemis?

sharp night
#

#ArthemisDidNothingWrong

fickle yoke
#

there are...versions

#

same with Orion

#

same with Adonis

coarse stone
#

Yeah, and I think how we view the events are a result of our culture clashing against that of the ancient Greeks

steady beacon
#

Oh yeah, Artemis in some versions turns her violated nymph into a bear then kills her

timber obsidian
#

Artemis is very wrathful in the mythos

fickle yoke
#

and what about Niobe?)

timber obsidian
#

kinda quirky doe

sharp night
#

@steady beacon Wasn't Hera the one who did it?

fickle yoke
#

Artemis and Apollo killed all her children

steady beacon
#

Is niobe the one she and Apollo slaughter all the childre- yep

#

@sharp night more tha n one version of the Greek myths, my friend

coarse stone
#

Yeah, that makes it hard to determine Artemis' character :x

lament flame
#

Greek gods are wild. All of them are not saints. And this is point of all Acient Greek myths

sharp night
#

i know

coarse stone
#

Some of them makes her go "GTFO"

fickle yoke
#

so i must say ALL greek gods have some dark secrets

coarse stone
#

and there are actually some that aren't as horrific

fickle yoke
#

so better be carefull

coarse stone
#

Ironically Hades is one of the more upstanding ones xD

fickle yoke
#

Demeter is one of the kindest

solar depot
#

hey folks! interesting convo but try to either keep it centered on the game up in here or take it to #off-topic-discussion pls

fickle yoke
#

but even she punished people for their dids

steady beacon
#

Hades did kidnap Persephone, though

sharp night
#

So yeah Arthimis still best girl yo

fickle yoke
coarse stone
#

Yeah, but he also genuinely loved her and was loyal to her. Wonder if it could tie into why he's such a grump ingame

He may be genuinely heartbroken and is reacting the only way he knows how. Being a gigantic grumpasaurus

shy socket
#

The biggest puzzle is why it's winter in the world of mortals

fickle yoke
#

@coarse stone looks like he still has something for her

coarse stone
#

That's actually not so much a puzzle

shy socket
#

When she's clearly not in hell

coarse stone
#

Persephone never returned to Olympus

fickle yoke
#

@shy socket Cus Demeter is missing Persephone

sharp night
#

Oh right

shy socket
#

zag kinda searched every corner

and duh, I know the myth

sharp night
#

Is she on Olympus?

fickle yoke
#

no

coarse stone
#

Persephone abandoned her mother and is on the mortal plane

lament flame
#

Nah

fickle yoke
#

she said she wont be back

coarse stone
#

so her mother thinks that she's in the underworld so WINTERTIME

steady beacon
#

She somewhere between the House of Hades and Olympus

coarse stone
#

She's probably enjoying the mortal world somewhere nice and beautiful

sharp night
#

Winter = Persephone in Hell
Summer = Persephone on the mortal plane

coarse stone
#

on the beach. With a garden.

fickle yoke
#

no

coarse stone
#

and actually isn't it Spring/Summer when Perse is with Demeter

#

fall when she's going to return to the underworld soon

#

and winter when she's with Hades

steady beacon
#

And neither she nor the narrator ever say she goes to the mortal realm. Isn't that interesting?

coarse stone
#

Actually

fickle yoke
#

Persephone doesnt determines season - Demeter does

coarse stone
#

It says she's between heaven (olympus) and hell (underworld)

fickle yoke
#

and if Persephone even in mortal world she still not with he rmother

#

and winter contnues

#

thats the reason

#

i think

coarse stone
#

Basically Demeter is the source of the seasons. She believes that Persephone remained with Hades.

sharp night
#

How many realms are there in the Greek Mythos

#

I don't want Zag Kilin Hades to be the end of a run

fickle yoke
#

1?

coarse stone
#

There's Olympus as the "heaven" variant, the Underworld and it's divisions ("hell" variant) and the mortal world

#

and the boundaries are simply traversable by the gods

fickle yoke
#

both of them are still part ofthe 1 world no?

sharp night
#

If Persephone isn't in the mortal world she must be somewhere on Olympus

coarse stone
#

Persephone isn't on Olympus

fickle yoke
#

mortals could enter and exit underworld

coarse stone
#

Otherwise it would NOT be Winter

lavish frost
#

Greek Mythos is for the most part quite easy to understand but really difficult to remember names and lores

sharp night
#

@coarse stone Where is she

steady beacon
#

Turns out you're right, she does say her place should be somewhere between the two of them. Looked at the screencap I had of it to be sure

coarse stone
#

She is in the mortal world as per her letter

#

of wanting a house near the beach

#

maybe with a little garden

steady beacon
#

I still like my other theory

coarse stone
#

Olympus is canonically on a mountain. No beaches there.

lavish frost
#

Because it's MOUNT Olympus after all

coarse stone
#

and somehow I'm getting the image of Persephone just chilling on a beach in a swimsuit and ignoring everything around her lol

sharp night
#

What if when you exit the Underworld you get beamed up on Olympus and have to fight your way down?

lavish frost
#

Persephone with a bikini just chilling

iron flame
#

blocking out family drama with her huge shades 🤔

coarse stone
#

Persephone is smart

lavish frost
#

april fool's update there...

coarse stone
#

She would be the best girl then

fickle yoke
#

i still waiting Kade's theory

coarse stone
#

Telling everyone to dealwithit and leave her alone with her garden

sharp night
#

But shes a mom...

coarse stone
#

Doesn't mean she can't be best girl

sharp night
#

True indeed

fickle yoke
#

She is a mom who cares much about dog not about son

steady beacon
#

That she essentially is working with Hermes, Charon, and Skelly. And Charon, in particular, who Achilles in his journal seems to have an even better grasp of the underworld than Hades, brought her somewhere in the underworld and hid her away.

coarse stone
#

Well Ceberus is the best doggo

fickle yoke
#

and Zag is worst son according to Hades

steady beacon
#

Because, that way, it would mean we could still find her even though there will only ever be these four biomes.

coarse stone
#

What if Persephone is waiting for Zag

#

and purposely didn't reference him to spur him to find out why

sharp night
#

But I still think that Arthemis is best girl

steady beacon
#

That would make the beach with the garden a hint, then, correct? Maybe even the mention of Cerberus, too.

fickle yoke
#

idk why is he even tries to seek her?

lavish frost
#

I'd like to think Pesephone believes that Zag will someday overpower Hades and leave hell

coarse stone
#

He wants to find out why she left him

#

Zag wants to find his mother

#

for answers

#

Best way to do that? Make sure that he has questions to ask.

fickle yoke
#

like?

coarse stone
#

Why did she leave him

sharp night
#

Must be hard on Hades being a single father and all

coarse stone
#

Did she love him

steady beacon
#

And he never felt like he fit in the Underworld, so he's very much jumping at the chance to try to leave

fickle yoke
#

failbag he has Nyx

#

she loves him

coarse stone
#

Then he finds out that Nyx isn't his real mother

fickle yoke
#

yup

sharp night
#

Isn't Nyx like Nordic?

fickle yoke
#

but still she loves him as his own child

coarse stone
#

Nyx is primidorial

lavish frost
#

bruh

coarse stone
#

Greek primidorial

fickle yoke
#

and he did for him so much

lavish frost
#

Nordic?

fickle yoke
#

as mother

coarse stone
#

Yes, but she's still not his birth mother. While he still loves her as a mother, he wants to find out about the woman who brought him into existance.

sharp night
#

Saw her in Smite when i played it a long time ago so i don't remember if she was Nordic or nah

coarse stone
#

Since he inherited the fact that he technically doesn't fit in with the underworld from Persephone

#

and nah, Nyx is the Greek form of Nox

#

Nox is Roman, Nyx is Greek

fickle yoke
#

So if you find out - somewhere exist a woman who gave birth to you but never apeears in your life never helped you and even didnt care about you - why would you seek her?

lavish frost
#

Romans just changed every greek being's name basically

fickle yoke
#

only to stab her twice may be?

coarse stone
#

Zag was given questions on why Persephone left and left not only Ceberus, Hades, but also him

spring remnant
#

tfw it's today instead of 5 days from today when the update launches hobbCry

lavish frost
#

Yeah, stab them, what else? "Oh, you left me when I was but a baby? Get shanked!"

coarse stone
#

He wants closure with persephone

fickle yoke
#

why does he need answers for that?

coarse stone
#

Because it's a question that he would have

sharp night
#

He never left the Underworld that's why

coarse stone
#

that would cause him to be unhappy until he gets that answer

#

It's similar to what happens with adopted children finding out that they're adopted and being curious to where they came from

fickle yoke
#

why does he even cares about questioning some far and unfamiliar woman? he could ask his door with same success

sharp night
#

Gonna hit the sack and some ceremorniale wine see ya guys around

lavish frost
#

Because it's his mother and she left him for some unknown reason to him?

coarse stone
#

Because through her letter, Persephone seems to at least be caring. Zag's not going to assume that she just hated him and didn't want anything to do with him or Hades.

lavish frost
#

cya

fickle yoke
#

so he is just unpleasent child

coarse stone
#

As to the idea "why didn't she take him", she technically couldn't

fickle yoke
#

for both of his parents

coarse stone
#

She had no authority to take Hades' heir away from him since he was the "head of the family"

fickle yoke
#

failbag i still cant understand Zag's motives

#

i want to find mother cus i want to find mother

coarse stone
#

He's like a teenager who wants to find out who he is, why he doesn't fit in, and why his mother left

lavish frost
#

What he's doing is perfectly normal. People that grew up believing that the people they were living with were their relatives tend to ask questions about their real parents.

lament flame
#

You right

lavish frost
#

You would as well, I believe so

coarse stone
#

I think Persephone intentionally wrote her letter

#

in a way that not only spurred on Zag

#

but also gave him a clue to where to find her

#

Perhaps with the intent that she wants to see him again

fickle yoke
#

I better say it's not HER letter

coarse stone
#

and she may even know that he may not even fit in with the Underworld

fickle yoke
#

or mb Hades left it to be found

#

by Zag

coarse stone
#

I don't think it's Hades' either

lavish frost
#

If he left it to be found then he wouldn't be so adamant about Zag leaving the underworld

fickle yoke
#

well for me it's kinda easy

coarse stone
#

For one, Hades wouldn't throw out a letter from Persephone out of spite

#

He still loves her

#

(but he's kinda a child and doesn't like her being brought up because it hurts him that she willingly left)

#

I think he hid it in that mass stack of paperwork

#

and Zag basically managed to find it

lavish frost
#

I believe Hades is just trying to not lose the last and only person that matters to him in the underworld

fickle yoke
#

all this runs, Pact and all of this - big Hades's plan for creating strong successor of his own

coarse stone
#

I think Hades is trying to make Zag strong

fickle yoke
#

Hades gives motives - Mother

coarse stone
#

Because the stronger that Zag is

#

the less that another of the Olympians has a chance against him

#

Hades doesn't seem to trust any of his family that much

fickle yoke
#

Hades create unpleasent environment to force him

#

and he still gives much opportunities to run

lavish frost
#

idk about the making him strong theory

fickle yoke
#

he keeping his weapon

coarse stone
#

What if Demeter is the "mortal world" boss

#

because she wants to force Persephone back with her

fickle yoke
#

he hired Achiles to teach him

#

and Hades himself meet him in the end to make final exam

coarse stone
#

Anywhoo, have to head out to work, have fun everyone!

lavish frost
#

Because that's what most parents in ancient greece would do?

#

Teaching your children how to handle a sword wasn't something out of ordinary

#

Hiring Achilles was basically doing what a father at the time would do to his children

coarse stone
#

Sparta sent their 7 year old boys to learn how to wage war

#

Hades just took Sparta's idea and said "Well he can't technically die, lets send EVERYTHING against him to see how long he lasts."
