We've got full access to the game files right now so there's already a fair amount of modding (someone advertises the Discord server every once in a while), but last I heard there will not be any official support for it.
Caitlin💃06/26/2020
Are there plans for modding support in the future?Currently, Hades “technically” supports mods in that players have full access to game files, and you can modify them however you wish. We don’t currently have any plans to create modding tools specifically for Hades or our other games.
there's occasionally a server link to a hades modding server in #self-promotion
no spoilers please, but is skelly's employer revealed somewhere in the current game?
yes/no
No.
I think it's whoever the narrator is
Zagreus actually responds to him at one point
he could be an actual character
narrator is implied to have been revealed in the game already, so its not the narrator.
oh darn
wouldnt have realized it if greg hadnt said as much himself https://discordapp.com/channels/456889434672201729/477164376496013323/726133588344700968
@atomic forge have you seen the convo line that starts when ||you have the lucky tooth and you pick up hermes||
I think so.
haven't finished it myself but i think it pertains to skelly's employer
can't remember the specifics, but yeah, then ||zag comments about it being skelly's tooth, and then skelly has a convo for zag afterwards||
i figured it was something special since ||zag comments while in the boon selection screen||
you do find out who skelly's employer is
Am i just dumb or is it easier for exalted to come back now
You running any significant Heat?
I mean 9 but like, i wasn't running Overtime or Benefits Package?
I guess maybe maybe it was the calisthenics??? Maybe i didnt kill them fast enough?
Might be it
Anyone knows why I haven't yet forged a bond with Dusa? I got her affinity gauge fully maxed out.
you need to have a specific conversation with her first
||https://imgur.com/bGB5qya|| ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@clear oracle Oooh myyyyHades would be puzzled the hell outta of ||her, like: "... Is Meg now liking his spanks?! I MUST BAN HER TO ETERNITY, OFF MY HOUSE!"||
Or ||"Sigh... remind me of my old days with Persephone"||
been practicing the harp for a while
when does it sound less like absolute wire spanking
Wasn't there a daughter of Hades and Persephone? One that was so beautiful Aphrodite disfigured half her face? I tried looking it up and found Mesperyan, but i couldn't really find any official looking sources. Doesn't really matter for a game so i was curious if other children of Hades will make an appearance
when does it sound less like absolute wire spanking
@glacial cedar you practice, you do a run, check if orpheus says anything about it then it becomes less ugly
profit
somebody once told me said you just need to play with it 8ish times? before a run for it to happen
Wasn't there a daughter of Hades and Persephone? One that was so beautiful Aphrodite disfigured half her face? I tried looking it up and found Mesperyan, but i couldn't really find any official looking sources. Doesn't really matter for a game so i was curious if other children of Hades will make an appearance
@jaunty forge Quick reading in the internet, That daughter is maybe not a real one, since some sources say she is way too similar to the Erinyes.
I mean, Mageara, Alecto and Tishi are Zagreus sisters?
I know Melinoe and Macaria as Hades and Persephone's daughters
My pfp is actually a Melinoe drawing from erinye
I know Melinoe and Macaria as Hades and Persephone's daughters
@cloud geode Yup, stated on the source I am looking as well.
I don't think the game as explicitly stated the furies are his sisters? And even then, We'll meet Melinoe and Makaria in late game? Or there was any mention of them?
but yeah Mesperyian isn't real
Only one last character will be added then enough
Maybe a Styx npc but who knows 👀
zagreus is a distaff counterpart to that character
Styx is different from the other biomes in terms of gameplay, maybe they won't add an NPC there
Maybe Hecate? Maybe straight up Persephone and all of this was just a big troll
crackpot theory time
zagreus is a distaff counterpart to that character
@jade slate ||Aside from being part of Dionysus||, which character are you talking about?
i mean
a disfigured half face
and zag has half his face covered a lot
🤔
its just a crack theory dont think too har
dd
Mesperyian gives me Ebony Darkness Dementia etc from My Immortal vibes
dunno why
The fact is i discovered one of my favourite goddesses thanks to her so... ye
its just a crack theory dont think too har
@jade slate Now that you mention it... I think it is also a nod to it as well 😂 SO MANY NODS TO EVERYTHING
||Especially Poseidon sending the minotaur to punish Theseus LOL||
you can give even more iirc
yeah, i'm talking about that
it is intended and narratively explained as zag helping her to improve the lounge or something like that
yeah, we're past that. I can't find this out atm, because after I have all the companions I turn every ambrosia to blood
Dusa is the only one that takes more than one Ambrosia per gifting, and it's gonna be more than 2 soon.
Thanks. On that note, I'm guessing you can only romance one person?
No, you can fully romance ||two, Meg and Than, neither will get jealous|| and platonic-romance ||Dusa||.
Weird. I have companions from all of them, and my story didn't progress that way
For what it's worth in my save I've romanced ||Meg fully, have the friendship with Dusa and declined Than||.
Seemed to me I don't have options. I speak everyone everytime
IIRC for a full romance you need to max out the gauge fully. Just getting the companions isn't enough, you need to get all three hearts after the companion.
I'm at the "heart arrow" phase with all of them 🙂
Throw more Ambrosia down their maws until the hearts are all full.
Gets expensive for Dusa in particular.
Yeah.. That has to wait. Aspects are more important 😄
FYI it's much easier to turn Ambrosia into Blood than it is to do it the other way around.
I know
But at the end of the day, besides the companions, it's all "just" lore, that I can look up at some point
How much do I have to renovate the lounge before the prophecy about renovating the lounge is considered complete?
I believe you need a conversation with Dusa about that when you're done? Don't really remember.
theres a list of things you need to buy, i believe - https://hades.gamepedia.com/Dusa#Favor
Oh, nice I already have all I need
Well I bought some more anyway cause the lounge is the best part of the house anyway
Is there anywhere to view the paintings you can get for the east wing?
I found the one of Cerberus on Jen Zee's deviantart
do you guys gush at the voice actors of characters you enjoy or are you normal 
on that note no more theseus slander, cyrus is too sweet 
actually I don't care but truly bless sg for where they found everyone
New Headcanon: Theseus and Asterius are just closet drama geeks
They have nothing against Zag, but they want to have fun working for Hades
So they really committed to their bits
hm
more like asterius just goes along with it but imagining theseus as an obnoxious theater kid with the ego of someone who's had lead roles too often is pretty funny
Honestly? Gushing over voice actors because i swear the voices are adding so much to the personality of the characters
With so many characters, seriously, for example like, Theseus??? Nyx? Meg? Zag???
EVERYONE TBH
Each time Theseus speaks I want to fill his mouth with Bloodstones to shut him up.
That's kudos to the VA though.
ares, dio and theseus all share the same va lol
I just wanna hug Darren because damn does he do such a good job with Zag
I'm aware that many characters share VAs.
I told him the way he voices ares has made sg ares the definitive portrayal of him for me 🥺
Logan is juggling like 5 characters isnt he
SGG Ares is honestly way more intimidating than most other portrayals. Less brute more cold and calculating
Like the love of bloodshed is there, he’s just smarter about it
yes 👏
He doesn't crave excessive violence is what I can derive from SSG's Ares. I
I feel like he does but he just doesnt yell I LOVE BLOOD
Unlike I suppose the popular understanding of the god is.
Yeah that's a better explanation.
Cyrus, jumping from voicing Ares to Theseus: parkour
it's about time we see something other than the usual loud, brutal and often implied to be less intelligent depiction media always defaults to. I end up loving any ares that diverts from the norm, I've collected 4 now
PARKOUR LOL
His interactions with Artemis are hilarious.
Ares: You know, hunting and warfare are not too different. Our shared delight in slaughter-
Artemis: Please, just stop
Sgg ares sounds intelligent and imo it makes him scarier
Like he has stuff figured out
Yeah, like he’s Athena but without the restraint
No rules of engagement or terms of surrender
Just “how can I as efficiently as possible Gift zag more dead bodies?”
It's my taste but I didn't like the Aphrodite much. Again, I haven't seen their representations in other media much.
Ares but he's a cat and gifts Zag dead mice
ares, but with more >:3c
I wanted to say Hades but everyone is a cat but Zag is a dog
Cerberus is a Cat in a Dog onesie
kam has done hades cats iirc
Or well he gives me pupper vibes at least as much as catto vibes
Tbh Zag is on that doggo energy. He would lowkey message his Dad even thought he escaped
Pre recorded message via Iris, delivered via Hermes
(Yes, this is about the Oh? No thanks :) when theseus offered his autograph, thats 100% cat energy)
Than and Meg are both cats
i love ares when you use full call during a trial
he says how dare you in the most offended voice possible
Than is the kind of barncat that is super helpful because he spends the day killing vermin but also wouldn’t hesitate to break a vase
Than is a cat because to befriend than you have to take the same steps as when you befriend a cat
Don't push him, wait for him to come on his own, give him plenty gifts
Basically he chooses to befriend you? Is that what you mean?
Pet only when allowed to
Because that's my interpretation of cats.
If you go to a cat and try to pet it or pick it up it will not like you
Can confirm.
Unless it wants you to. Then it'll make all the effort to let you know it wants that.
Just like our death boy
do you need to pet Cerberus 20 times in a row or overall for the unlock?
feels like I've petted him so much there should be a hole in one of his heads now
really wish there was an in-game hint regarding this
Lord Ares is (almost?) like a high-functioning psychopath/sadist. He "bonds" seemingly only over the love for bloodshed.
Literally, the more enemies you slaughter, the more he likes you.
Zag: So I started blasting, it’s not that interesting sorry.
Ares: Oh no! Continue please!
His relationship with Lady Nyx is curious, but we don't know what they actually talk about.
so according to sgg: War is a sadist who likes bloodshed, Famine is an old grandma
He "bonds" seemingly only over the love for bloodshed.
He's god of war. What do you want him to bond over, knitting and wine tasting?
He could be a proper opponent for the table-top-game in the bedroom.
I've only expressed an observation without judgment. 
Ares offered me 6 boons in a single run yesterday
He could be an interesting opponent, but I imagine he would want to add a rule that the winner is allowed to slaughter the loser.
And 1 extra boon in Styx shop that I didn't buy
No fun in killing gods, they come back
Add a destruction rule
Pulverize them into bits
That's more fun
Titan war style
You can keep killing them
Eternal slaughter back and forth. He might be the only Olympian wishing that the Underworld renovations never finish.
Just so the killing continues eternally.
The Spartans also recognized him as a force of nature, his statues were literally chained up
Due to their healthy respect for what he represented
Which I think we do see
This isn’t Mars
Unless he wishes that Zagreus escapes, so that he can send him to some wars for more slaughter.
Like SSG Ares is martial discipline yes, but with the singular goal of bloodshed
Which is imo very much in like with how Sparta saw him
its Spartan Ares
A god to be respected, but also feared
wait, so is the aphrodite in the game pandemos or ourania?
I don't know any of these words
"Zagreus, why be up here on Olympus when you could be out there waging war? I would very much like to see that. Here, take these boons, and slaughter some mortals."
I want to say pandemos, but I also only just woke up so I might have them backwards
Idk, Aphrodite boons seem p complete to me, so I think she is more panfullgame than pamdemos
Maybe just me though
i see her as pandemos, but i dont remember any mention of her parentage
@clear oracle I sometimes feel like half the people in this channel have some degree in Ancient Greek Mythology or something. I'm happy I know some of the gods' names. 😂
im just a dumb enthusiast
I don't have a degree xD I've...just done a bit of research into them ^.^'
I had 2 courses in classics in college, I still don't know so shrug
my specialty is mesopotamian mythology tho shrug
Tbh I did History, myth was just bedtime reading
hey religion is not bedtime reading, do you know how complicated the systems of belief were?
We're all mythology nerds in the Hades fandom
hey what are y'all talking about here
Hades: Get in for the gameplay, stay to pet the three headed dog
Soft doggo
Pani! We brought up which Aphro the Hades Aphro is
I'm sleepy so pardon my lack of comprehensible wording
im still thinking Pandemos, but some of the boons just says Ourania
oooh i just think sgg's canon isn't that deep in mythology
Also valid xD
wait what
Makes sense
Theyre just having fun with it
Wjat do you mean? An automatic rifle isn't canon in Greek mythology?
NO EXAGRYPH SLANDER
NO RAIL BANTER ALLOWED
Tbh she’s also got Pre Sparta vibes. Like Cytherian Aphrodite, who at the time was basically Astarte
You are gonna tell me the Trojan war didn't use nuclear weapons next?
Like SSG does like to pick and chose and then edit
hmph true
Exagryph is my baby and I will fight anyone with high magnetic firepower
I mean for hells sake we have mythology jokes
areia?
whew this blew up huh but @ shrew I'm not sure the gods are meant to depict any particular epithet in the game, but there may be nods toward them
as in, sand?
I mean, I don't like sand
it's rough and coarse and it gets everywhere
sand...its an epithet of aphro that was worshipped in sparta and cytheria
aphrodite areia, the warlike 🤧
Areia means sand in portuguese 😄

also i think in sgg's canon the epithets are just made up by mortals
like many other things about gods
Shrew, that emoji is perfectly synched up with my music
ohhhh yea forgot that, but how is astarte aphrodite made up, i mean astarte is an entirely separate goddess
Venusaur is an incarnation of aphrodite
not my fav [waits to be smited by nyaa in my sleep]
the gods are kinda transcendent in relation to mortals in sgg's canon
My Venusaur is a kind soul and i will not stand for him to be compared to aphro like that
But the best is
MommyAuntie Nyx
What a weird way to spell Artemis
Artenyx
if i am correct there may have been a syncretism between artie and nyx
I thought Artemis liked the whole thing about hunting and being hunted, but okay
Gesundheit, Shrew what a syncretism
bless you
Hehehehehehe
Artie hints solely in the 🙇 way
I thought that was a more wide-spread joke xD
...
the only word i know in german
certainly a popular joke in russia
Basically, saying "bless you" in some form when someone says a long/complex word
i know three german words, landsknecht, zweihnder and bidenhander, am i weird
XD
it is correct
How do yall not know schadenfreude
heart-seeking 🙇♂️
Oh, and Scheiße.
Kremesuppe
I mean...the Underworld can move?
germanic underworld
It's even pointing at you!
Anyway, let's all agree that the best girl in all of the underworld is our girl Dusa.
Being Artemis' disciple ironically makes you more prone to getting shot
wdym its Hel
tisiphone?
All of them straight up all of them
Murder?
Aight, I actually gotta go. Meeting in 20 minutes and I still need breakfast. Thanks for the wake-up chat y'all!
Mmmmurderer...
gl!
Show stopping

Best
Dusa: Hardworking, reliable, interesting, is there for you when you need the most.
i dont need her tho
You take that back.
dusa floats, can artemis do that?
See? Pani knows what's up
technically the moon is floating

actually artemis is probably my favorite olympian in hades in terms of story
oh nope there's dio
@gilded oracle fyi you might not want to curse in other languages, esp when the eng equivalent is blocked by the bot 😉
Oh, sorry!
dios mios
i'm a terrible person cause i just thought of plenty russian curses which are ok when translated to english
true
wait, so the ancient greek curse erre es korakas is okay because the english equivalent is just to the crows
shrew dont make this complicated lol
Hah
@clear oracle I agree on Artemis. She and Zag could meet up someday and TALK ALL DAY about their family issues.
Zeus even offered her to be Zag's mate. I would be motivated to RAM ALL THE WAY to the surface just for her.
zeus is one of my least favs ngl but also just. zeus in general man.
I mean, she made it v v clear shes super uncomfy w that
Hehehe, "ram all the way"
Sorry, 5th grade syndrome
zeus is terrible by definition
Zeus is pure Boomer energy.
Lmao
nooooooo
gets hit with another arrow
That ramming approach will immediately result in getting shot down, literally and figuratively.
well, he is exactly Hadad
I love y'all sometimes
Huh this is the third arrow this week.
That's what you get by being on the archery range
Hahaha
I'm so hysterical about Theseus and Asterius starting to disagree and Theseus getting very upset
wait, what is the equivalent of Artemis in other culture? i cant remember one (except Diana, shes basically artemis anyways)
That ramming approach will immediately result in getting shot down, literally and figuratively.
@crimson temple ... I should have worded differently. Nobody likes to take an arrow to the kn--- cough cough I mean, to the head? And taint the beautiful leafy crown (I forgot the name, sorry!)
vong nguyet que (idk the english name)
Cernunnos is a hunting god
i'm pretty sure finnish mythology has artemis-like goddess
wait, what is the equivalent of Artemis in other culture? i cant remember one (except Diana, shes basically artemis anyways)
@dense sparrow Tupã is the god of the hunt in the Guarani tribes of Brazil
obscurity 100
in russia we have no mythology (jk we do)
in russia we have no mythology (jk we do)
@plain palm Tell us yours!
Another slav here
Cant remember the god of hunt
But i know the gods of spring and thunder
[cheeki breeki plays in the background]
perun? everyone knows him
squats dramatically
or was it svarog?
I'll have to open that huge list of Slavic mythology (which, honestly, they sound very scary when I first read about them)
we have pagan gods but not actual mythology
i mean russians not finno-ugoric or siberian cultures
I just googled Dzevana as the slav goddes of hunt, basically romean Diana
yes thats why its such a pain to research
Ooh, I can tell the story of the guaraná! It's a nice story.
Radegast is a bro we have a statue of him
no dzevana in russia lol
we are starting to stray into off topic territory lol
And yeah i meant Perun but i do know Svarog
yes off topic
anyway
yeah let's move lads
Ditch zeus we want a cooler god for them thunders.
thunderclap
WHY ARE YOU SMITING ME I'M RIGHT
Lord Zeus is pretty cool.
Well that's where Perun comes in
well, Zeus is the Hadad of the family, he cant exactly be screwed
No don't screw Zeus
Poseidon is the cooler uncle.
guys,
yea, i feel a breeze coming when i see his boon
yea, i feel a breeze coming when i see his boon
@dense sparrow From... Demeter?
Poseidon calls the shades "filth".
okay that was the wrong pun
That's not cool.
well, i dont sea him ever being that
I remember him saying that LOL
A dad who calls your mortal friends filth.
i call my friends filth
nocks an arrow anyone else want to make puns
Are shades technically still mortal?
I don't think so
Don't think so
Unmortals.
Yes.
no, they are manifestations of the animus in the underworld
therefore depending on the animus we get different types of shades, i think
Guess what shade you end up as depends on who you were
animus? like assassins creed? huh? where am i in this convo
animus, the soul according to the grecians
@open berry i think he means souls
hm is the immortality of soul canon in hades
Like, anima
several people are typing... sjdhgsjkg
Is animus like a pokemon I haven't heard about?
that was so funny im so sorry
The normal people turn into shades, the great warriors turn into Elysium fighters
I get confused by the trial of gods. They get upset if you don't choose them no matter how good an uncle they were, and then they just forget it immediately. It kinda makes them all big babies
jesus christ dont people study greek these days
@fickle comet no,that's arcanine
I get confused by the trial of gods. They get upset if you don't choose them no matter how good an uncle they were, and then they just forget it immediately. It kinda makes them all big babies
@dusty ingot Gods are fickle like that. Love you one minute, hate you on the other
bro i am like trying to do three different things rn and i only possess one brain cell
this chat does not have my brain cell rn
I read that wrong and thought you were possessed
i am
So how does Jesus Christ figure into all that?
WE TAKE TATZ' BRAINCELL.
arms, and the man i sing, who forced by fate
and divine juno's unrelenting hate
🏹
Mom says it's my turn on the brain cell
MOM SAID ITS OUR TURN ON THE BRAINCELL TATZ
im giving it to ares for safekeeping
you're all arested


what is going on here...
Breakfast
arms, and the man i sing, who forced by fate
and haughty juno's unrelenting hate
expelled and exiled, left the trojan shore
long labors, both by sea and land he bore
shrew: trying to have a some what serious and interesting discussion
me, putting on my clown nose: [bursts through the walls]
where is that dude in the game
not story nor spoilers are going on here
🤡 🎺
well, discussions on upcoming characters allowed'
this channel is only for greek nerds
Dusa for Smash
smash for zagreus
Don't smash zagreus
i have a whole moveset for zag in smash(ssf2)
If it doesnt contain bloodstones im rioting
We need more bloodstone stuff
I want more bloodstone stuff
Theyre such a cool ability
Do you guys think that Zag's heterochromia is because one of his eyes is from Hades' side and the other from Persephone's side?
it does, and i hate it bc the number of sprites i would have to make is so huge, i basically abandoned the idea
and ofc its because of that reason
Yeah, thought so
iirc than comments on how one of his eyes matches his mothers
is zag's heterochromia the reason why he is not heterosexaul?
ive slept since that dialogue
Headcanon time: one of the eyes gets more vibrant in colour the closer he is either to the surface or the House
Oh? I haven't got that yet
its bound to come up as you get more backstory
And do you think that Demeter is in Winter mode because nobody knows where the hell Persephone is?
guys guys important question does the House have a toilet?
zag's greekness is the reason why he's not heterosexual
no
where does zag and the gods poop then , aaaaaaaa do they not poop, do they use diapers?
I mean i would assume so. Shades dont have an use for it but the gods might?
im sure they have whatever the ancient greek equivalent of a toilet was
Can we not talk about god toilets
communal toilet, its still a toilet
Yes, let's not
well at least theyre not wizards
TAtZ
they have a garden in the house
ur on a rowl tatz
oof
and no toilets are a very important part of life, the gods would need them. Hades said his house is more functional than olympus, then why does it not have a goddamn toilet, it makes no sense
i mean no sans
why do you think there's still a set of doors left
it probably does but it's broken when Cerberus rampaged through the whole house
WELL ZAG DOESNT HAVE TIME TO SLEEP MAYBE HE DOESNT HAVE TIME FOR THAT EITHER
THEN WHY THE HELL IS THE TOILET LOCKED
MAYBE THERE ARE THINGS YOU AS A PLAYER SHOULDNT SEE THE MC DO
I WANNA SEE
ITS CALLED PRIVACY
zag doesn't need to go to the toilet, he gets a new body every time he dies
MOST OF HIS LIFE IS MANAGED BY THE NARATOR ALREADY, I JUST WANNA SEE GOD POOP
well the house is above tartarus... there is a reason why tartarus is so bad
someone call caitlyn
They just do it on Asphodel and it all gets burned away
we need assistance
oh cool, no waste management system either
@drifting citrus thats interesting tho, does his body just get repaired every time or is it just built anew
not sure but i thought the last doors are hades private room
but i could just imagine things there
There's a reason why Asphodel isn't the lush meadows like it was in the past
Cause i doubt he gets incinerated though some of hades' blows might leave his body beyond repair
it just float down the styx into the house i think, he dont get a new body
hades might have a private toilet
styx water have regenerative effects
I wonder if he remembers something of that voyage
IS THE STYX THE PISS OF THE GODDESS STYX OR GOD PISS?
I wonder if he's afraid he won't wake up one day
Okay let's back down a bit
anyone got some water from lethe to forget all this?
patroclus does
god i wish
no, call hypnos
@open berry can you call hypnos
a nd speaking of patroclus
We need lethe water
wh
he lives near its spring in mythology i think?
anyway im going back to whatever i was looking into 
also this is weird, i just realized
Ok now all i can see is Hypnos casually swimming in lethe
Alright guys, I'm going to go for lunch
gl all
Have fun and remember: Dusa is the best girl.
no
No
well shes not exactly the Istar of the game, but i can see why she is poplar
the lethe got to your brain
dont be a Styx in the mud friend
dusa is a great character and provides a much needed aroace representation
did you take the ambrosia back y/n
y
But only after doing research and being absolutely sure shebwas fine w it
I've been wondering if Cocytus and Acheron will make an appearance in the game. We already have Styx, Phlegethon, and Lethe.
unlikely
its a nice conversation when she 'dropped' one of them and then tried it
Ive been looking for Acheron the entire game ngl
no, i dont think, they are quite obscure and not having many characteristics
and its not like id ever need ambrosia
Do they even have any?
remind me please what's the deal with acheron
@solar cove whats the convo?
just something about her having 'accidentally' dropped it and then being happy about having a split tongue so she could taste it twice at the same time
Awwww
the river on the surface might be acheron actually
That actually makes sense now that im reading about it
Well Acheron and Styx get mixed up a lot in the literature so maybe that's why SGG went with Styx. Cocytus could work in an ice biome but not sure how that would fit into the game's lore
Oh that could work
On the surface, obviously.
i think we might see cocytus somewhere around the house
in the garden maybe
and yeah, surface river might be acheron alright
I want to see the garden so much now
i'm almost sure it will be important for the ending
like it's a GARDEN
sure perse loved it there
PLEASEE
mb even planted it herself
also i'm afraid of hades' room being there
like WHY IS IT THERE
I'M NOT SURE IF I WANNA GO THERE
flies back in to dropkick shrew off the toilet topic
Don’t worry, considering how the house looks like when you first start, his rooms will likely have just a bed and a chair lol
thanks tatz

Or a shrine to perse
saw alma typing, so sorry to you for all the cursed energy here today
oh hi alma!
does perse counts as an already added npc?
i mean officially, like in the roadmap
not really bc there was only ever one audio for her
i frankly dont see who else the remaining character can be, bc you cant feasibly add in an entirely brand new character this late in the game's development without them being more endgame
that + the fact demeter's affection is still locked
well, the temple of styx doesn't have an npc yet and it might very well be tied to the endgame
every other olympian can be unlocked now but hers and hades are still locked.
styx doesnt need an npc
you dont need more than charon there bc of how the biome is laid out.
does anyone know if you can get antos from pat or just from achilles?
i believe it's just achilles
in my codex its marked as a gift on achilles hearts
its from achilles
but it summons both since you have to reunite them
achilles says when he gives it to you its from him and pat 
yeah we have been slow on that front lol.
you know those things where you pick one of two characters a bunch of times and it calculates your fav? i desperately need this thing for hades
fun fact i wanted to do a hades sorter back in like march
but as with anything, i have the attention span of a pea and got sidetracked with some other stuff and never revisited it lol
it seems best for this channel, but does anybody know the chances of Tiny Vermin spawning? I assume there's no way to force it to appear, but I'd like to see it at some point
omg i finally got a title other than the summoner of olympus (might be actually called differently, that's a reverse translation)
and it was ares' disciple (reverse translation again)
probably "Olympus Caller" for the first one, and Disciple is the correct translation
nicely done ^.^
oh yeah because of 'call'
am i using call in my builds really often or it's a common title for everyone?
I think it's for using call a lot
I semi-frequently don't bother with a call, so I don't actually get it that often
according to administrative chamber i've gotten the caller of olympus more often than any other titles COMBINED
12 times that is
oh gl!
danke
I'm currently recovering my crashed run xD Still had the seed, so I had the same epic flourish start :D
currently back in Elysium
So is there any benefit to giving Nectar to the gods (Zeus/Ares/etc) after getting their keepsake?
narrative progression
you learn more about the gods, specifically this version of them
Hah. Meg has dialogue if you fight her solo after she does a fight with the other two supporting.
@plain palm was there something that shows your totals for each title, or did you actually go through and count it manually?
manually
Than and Meg are both cats
Than is the kind of barncat that is super helpful because he spends the day killing vermin but also wouldn’t hesitate to break a vase
Than is a cat because to befriend than you have to take the same steps as when you befriend a cat
he kept a toy mouse, what else do we need as a proof
so many interesting convos missed.. from Ares' nature to the unknown areas in the House
impressed you read that far back
what if there was something important and i will never know what it was?
now i kinda understand Zag, sleeping is not fun
also, it's interesting.. i've heard before that there is some connection between Hypnos and Lethe.. it actually makes sense
hypnos has a lot of interesting lore and theres so little of it utilized here lol. whats sad is that hades still has one of the more in depth depictions of hypnos bc he really is just hardly ever used, its always thanatos that gets the attention
tfw you're always at background and your brother has all the glory.. and yells at you for being bad at everything
how can he be so chill..
or what if he is just tired and burned out
sleeping is one way to get away from depression, bad thoughts and fears
just as work.. and for Hypnos it's both
Whats the voiceline that you think the least people will see?
someone's line.. "haven't you tried to awake weapon's aspect for which i've given you the magic words? I shall repeat them then"
i presume
I get Olympus Caller a lot
Cause i dont usually have the patience for a Greater lmao
probably using full call in a trial? you have to be actively trying for it sometimes
or rather a lot of the time
although hermes does help a lot
I've not played in a while (hoping for a console release after 1.0) but i did think about a concerin I have. With 1.0, obviously, the canon will have us eventualy beat hades. Thing is... how will you contine the replay cycle? Id Zag's quest to find his mother ends, there's no point to escaping over and over. except maybe to spite Hades, which to be fair might be reason enough
Meanwhile, if you legit can't escape for some other reason then renovation, then Zag is doomed forever to try and that won't be satisfying at all
I don't see how this goes on to finish while still sllowing for a satisfying ending
My speculation is that the number of bonds forged affects the ending. Meaning there exists a motivation to go for a 'perfect ending' with all bonds in place, thus giving a reason to return to the grind.
Zagreus escapes, searching for his mother, then finds her. They talk a lot. Maybe they both will bring spring back to the earth.
hypnos also gets overshadowed by morpheus a lot in culture, which is really sad
and then Narrator is like: happy end and all, but pretend that never happened
poof, Zag is back and noone knows
Zag: I got what I came for I suppose. I am content. .... Buuuuuuuuuuuttttttt I do like messing with Father...
stabs himself
unless...?😳
noooo don’t come back to my house to make trouble ur too sexy aha
Though for real, I don't see how this ends both with a satisfiying conclusion but also allows for reruns
ill wait till 1.0 to make any judgement
and they have the best endings
like pyre (ending spoilers ahead) ||didn't have a great gameplay ending, no harder than usual final bossfight or anything, but we get to read a lot about every character. it was kinda like a book for me, and made me feel like my actions and choices mattered||
so i imagine hades might have something like that, not really reflecting on your gameplay experience
🏹
You know, this is just a dumb thought of mine, and it's kinda obsolete considering that the pact of punihsment is a thing, but I always kinda wanted a keepsake from Hades that was just kinda worthless or had a secret unlock that made your life hell in some way. Like it took up your slot and was a burden in some way, but you could somehow make it good
circulation is my genuine concern since i've started playing hades, along with double dash sounding like a heartbeat
hades keepsake where he just teleports behinds you and oneshots you
Lmao after you give him enough nectars Hades is just like CHAOS ABOVE OKAY TAKE THIS AND DONT BOTHER ME and just gives Zag a stapler or some office item
well, since i've learned that zag is a god of blood in sgg's canon
theres something very visceral about bouldy killing a boss because of how sudden the death screen is
||and life||
My thought for his keepsake was it offers no bonus and you need to keep it the entire run, and when you reach Hades and beat him twice it unlocks his full power or something and he becomes a badass maybe giant third form to fight. And if you beat that, then he begrdingly makes the artifacvt do something useful.
Skull stapler. From: Hades. Does nothing and occassionaly you staple yourself on it
also about ending: don't forget we should get one more boss variant in 1.0
wait what
Hades also gave Zag a pen for his birthday because he forgot about the birthday and was searching his desk for something he could give to avoid Nyx incinerating all of his internal organs
roadmap says that
i'm not sure actually how they count boss variants, are they the fury sisters or the extreme measures
i would guess its EM hades... 
Oh sweet jesus
wonder how that would look like
so zag forces hades to pay himself with the pact
I got to imagine they go full god of war and he gets BIG. Why even have that pool if not gor a giant form
yes, you can access the roadmap by clicking the "countdown" to the next update on the bottom right in the main menu in game
you get up to the surface and hades is holding two spears now
t-posing
The only change is that he doesnt have a beard
you get up to the surface and hades says “let me show you why my version of varatha has that range”
and all his attacks cover the arena
BTW unrelated question: i watch a video of someone beating charon, what does that do and can you fight hom more for more stuff
Is it just for that run or all runs after
just for that run
that run
ooof
Yeah but it seems like beating him is rather rough
not really just learn to time it and its not so bad
or just run away the whole time
his ranged options are really slow
but this probably belongs in the combat channel
i would actually like to have more discount for beating charon in tartarus... and less for doing it in elysium
i love the charon theme though
you do get more discount in the sense that you have more time to use it
How many diamonds is the ||patroclus and achilles reunion thingy||
oh yeah my economics are terrible
i wonder how nyx got shady in bouldy
||7 iirc?||
Time to go on a lernie slaughtering rampage
its a pretty funny mental image ngl
ran it for 30 seconds to see the roamap and my laptop sounded like it was going to explode. Yep, waiting for other platforms

ive always had the feeling that zag isnt actually a god
since hades says to tell no one about his nature
like im almost half sure hes a titan
then perse isn't as well
How would he be a titan though
hell if i know
He's the god of blood and life, and is 1/4 mortal, thats where it comes from imo
but it doesnt make sense that hades is so cautious about making sure the olympians dont know who zag reallt is
Oh right yeahm forgot that was a thing
I agree. Demeter has turned the surface into a wasteland because of her missing daughter, and Hades wants to hide his responsibility for said daughter's disappearance.
yeah, the olympians don't know where she went still
Nyx on the other hand stays silent on the matter because of some personal agreement with Persephone, which contents will probably be disclosed with the completed story.
theres also the other thing where perse letter doesnt mention zag
True, that is a plot hook waiting for a twist.
Does the full heal work at least? Also, probably wrong channel
but yeah i feel like the whole persephone thing is a red herring setting up for a titan twist

maybe im giving sg too much credit though
what if perse doesn't know about zag
something like hades pretending to kill/set free the red-blooded child
and secretly keeping him
the problem with zag not being a son of persephone is their presumable resemblance
lol imagine if zag goes up to the surface and finds out he looks nothing like persephone
a child needs not look like its parents
it could also be that persephone was pregnant when she wrote the letter and zag died when he was a baby and crawled out of the styx 
hades got it on with a titan which is why persephone left, and zag is the result
it cant be, baby gods and demigods cant die, look at mr wine dude
😳
zag dies all the time xD
we kill hades all the time
given that his theme is rebirth it'd be fitting tbh
hades is an allegory for the final dlc for the binding of isaac rebirth
never played that so i can't comment on that xD
but it's mentioned how much zag is like persephone
quite a few times
there is no escape, much like how repentance will never come out
wdym? after birth?
wow zag being born and dying on the surface as a child is a really cool theory
uwu
and yeah, of course he can't escape if he's dead for reals
and of course he tries, he's zag
Tbh seeing as they have Sisyphus in this game I don’t know if that exactly would hold up
Part of his story involved intentionally asking his wife to improperly dispose of his body, persuading Persephone or Hades (depending on version) to return to the land of the living to scold his wife
Sisyphus refused to not only return but he continued to live
Until Hermes forcibly dragged him down
i wouldn't say he's dead for real tbh, he just got reborn/climbed out of the styx
like that's just sth gods seem to do
but that's my hc why persephone didn't mention him and zag is in the underworld
until v 1.0 blows it all to pieces
Inb4 this was all story time on Olympus
I have a question that I would like to know the answer of but don't think we do: does anyone know/figure out what the deal with Skelly is? Every time a option comes up to who he works for or how he got here it gets tossed out just as quick. WHAT ARE YOU SKELETON MAN
Take his trinket to Hermes
he is schelemeus, a sea captain
well, he should have picked Scylla tbh
Yeah, but... why is he helping you
oh really?
yep
Can someone spoiler tag it for me? Like ||this||
he's working for ||charon||
nope
Fair enough
itsa mystery
To be fair, i all clicks into place now considerinhg that ||skelly has a dold coin where his tongue is||
all dead greeks have that, its a custom
Yeah but noone else in game has it
yeah, but it explains why he stil has it
after arriving in the underworld
he got paid to shut up
^
Charon takes it as payment normally
This little shade got extra
Tbh maybe that’s why Zag never gets a ride
He never asked if he could rent the boat
well he does help out with the shop
but hades couldn t fire him if he tried i think
there's no underworld without charon
(as than puts it)
How many thousands of Obols do I gotta pay that nerd to hitch a ride dang
charon is the son of nyx, nyx is the true owner of the realm, so he cant be fired tbh
at least three
Hades Can't fire Charon, but he can make his life uncodfrtable in other ways, like a obel tax
spear aspect
Although, considering that nugget of info you just told me, maybe Charon has another non obel related reason for not giving zag a easy way out
aspect of charon
tbh hermes mentions that there's some rules even he can't break
so maybe that applies to charon too
otherwise why would you be fighting if you have so many gods on your side
Unrelated but, I saw someone here mentioning something about Hypnos wanting an autograph from ||Asterius|| but he hasnt mentioned anything of the sort about it to me. Do I gotta ||die to the bull a bunch of times|| specifically to trigger that or what?
Dunno if I actually needed to spoiler that or not but w/e
yeah you have to die a few times
Huh, wonder why that didnt trigger when I was first starting out then
Dude used to wipe the floor with me every time
you might have had other dialoge with hypnos
I've not watched further then this but watching videos on the update and i'm loving how ||So far Zag seems to be ending up tearing the tagteam of thesis and asterious apart||
I'm sure they will fix it probably but it's funny
Man, I haven't seen anything of that yet, the only change I've seen is ||one lone red shade in the audience with a Zag banner||
Basicaly from what i seen of videos, ||Asterious eventualy develops respect for Zag, thesis doesn't, and with a bit of talking/prodding from zag over runs they squabble and fall out about it||
Remains to be seen if they fix or or stay that way
Does that ||change the fight at all?||
||Fight stays the same far as i've seen||
||why are we spoilering in the spoiler channel||
||I dunno, it just seemed polite||
Just of curiosity, how do they fix it?
Theseus is on that drama kid energy
He’s gotten the lead role 2 years straight and is aiming for a 3rd
I kinda want him to get over his hatred of zag tbh and just play it up for the crowd instead. but i think that's never gonna happen
In a game with characters who change over time he seems very... static in that approach
i mean if im a mythical king ill probably do the same
I feel like Hades' relation status is going to be binary
He either hates Zag or not.
the question is how
just wait for the ending i guess
i don't really think Hades simply hated Zag, it's just a lack of empathy from him.. a common thing for abusive parents, disregard and indignity.. he sees his child to be something else that he and only he wants, and gets mad every time Zag fails to meet his expectations..
~~Thesis ~~ Theseus on the other hand does hate him and see as a threat to his own glory. He will never accept his weakness and futility of his fights, because it takes more than common sense for him
Hades is pretty much very insistent on doing his job, even when nyx first met him. So for him, the value of someone purey on their work efficiency
fair
is beat charon twice prophecy bugged? I killed him twice, not successive runs but didnt have lost battle in between and prophecy didn't complete
Maybe you gotta talk to hermes after doing that?
Sorta like you gotta talk to posei after the ||beat em3 theseus|| prophecy
Which was funny because when i was completing that, Theseus called upon Poseidon.
He just wanted to watch the show.
Honestly can't blame him because my first em3 was a hot mess
Theseus crashed into a pillar, bugged out, and wouldn't do anything
He was just shooting the wall and screaming
I had to unclip him so i was just skiddadling around him hitting him from different angles
Amd all i could imagine was Zag being like, uh, you okay there mate?
Then i unclipped him and immediately got hit. The ungratefulness
I just beat Lernie 😂
Whenever I get Aphrodite's call my favourite thing is to make theseus kill the bull (or vice versa) 
Haha Lernie is the best secret boss
I wish i could choose which em's to fight
I don't wanna do em 1
I don't wanna torment megaera like that
She's so uncomfortable every time and i swear when i had ||Alecto tell ask her if shes seriously going soft for the trash god|| i swear her tone of voice was,,,, on verge
on the same token meg is well aware of how her sisters act, more so than the player
meg would prob be more offended if zag did anything that any of the sisters took as 'meg can't handle this herself so let me help' though, to be frank
she's got her own pride, and she's already told zag off for being nosy about her relationship with her sisters
so ultimately I'd say don't feel too bad for her, bc she'd honestly probably hate it lol
can't believe there was theseus discussion I wasn't involved in that wasn't just hating on him, incredible 
I mean, I just reckon that everyone except Hades and Thesieus kinda evolves throughout the game, Hades can't because anything for him will priobably be 1.0, but theseus just, like, needs to chill.
only other static char is bone hydra, and that's because he don't talk at all and is just a obstacle
@indigo sable no image yet because we dont have raw image renders https://hades.gamepedia.com/Companion_Antos
I'm not even sure how Thesis would evolve anyway, his entire sthick seems to be "Hate Zag"
oh ingame he'll never be anything more than that, because the devs intended to keep foes as just that, foes.
I mean, He does not need to be friended, but he needs, like SOMETHING. All he has are "He's friends with bull and hates Zag"
Everyone else has something, even the sisters have their damaged relationship with meg
only giuy with less then him is bone hydra
lmao did you miss hypnos? his only role is glorified door greeter that sometimes interacts with other people but the house largely finds him annoying and lazy
many of the characters are fleshed out but there are a couple that have some lacking narrative
I have seen more Hypnos jokes in gameplay channels than most other characters tbh. Maybe Hades or Banatos jokes can outnumber Hypnos jokes, but still a toss up imo.
i dont lurk in the gameplay channel so i have no context if you mean good or bad jokes lmao. its just that compared to the other characters zag befriends, hypnos is rather hollow
someone hasnt finished hypnos' subplot
he doesnt get much characterization at all since most of his content is death quips
i know all about it actually
and my point still stands
bold of you to assume one of the most vocal hypnos defenders would not know about his subplot with than
what is his plot
@dense fox try getting to the theseus fight while carrying a Thread of Ariadne charon's well item
you help him get his stuff together and actually work properly
well "help" it's just talking
his worth as a person shouldn't just be tied to his productivity tho
true
my problem with it is that it starts off with zag admitting hes mean to hypnos, like... for what? why is this character who consistently goes out of his way to help everyone else fix their problems admitting hes mean to someone whose greatest crime is... being a little sarcastic? sleeping more than he should because he's literally sleep incarnate? what?
I recall reading in Tv Tropes that for some reason a codex implied that Theseus was for some reason different in death then he was in life. If there anything on that more? Could be a interesting angle for him without making him a good guy
ohh i see your point
I always just assumed between that and him befriending a lost asterious that ||Theseus gave the more noble part of his soul to the bull or something|| but never found hard confirmation on that
oh i would not like that tbh
i think his fame just got to his head
it's not that he's necessarily a bad guy, he just doesn't know who zag is
think about it, what else is there to do in elysium other than fight for meaningless glory? i thin in that respect its reasonable for theseus to end up the way he is
that would reduce the worth of asterius, but i wonder if that is true, i mean in the myths the bull ate people. so how come he came from a anthropophage savage to a quite reasonable bull-man-thing
to be fair tho, i'm not sure how many different diets they tried
with their bull-child
being kept in a labyrinth 24/24 must drive asterius crazy, so he should be insane or something
In Stephen Fry’s Heroes, the Minotaur is portrayed as something of a lost soul that wants to die, and thanks Theseus on his death for killing him
I'm going to note that i did not mean that in a way to diminish either char, it's more of a case of "Minotuar was in hell kinda, thesis gave a bit of himself to save his butt, there's still most of him left but it's a bit addeled. it raise one up a bit and lowered the other a bit, but not by MUCH"
@jade slate hypnos: puts the house to sleep on zag's request so zag can snoop in his father's paperwork and thus find out who is mother is
zag: never thanked him, says hes mean to hypnos a lot
i love this game and i love much of the characterization but so many of the choices around hypnos make no sense
Either that or Theseis knows damm well who Zag is and jiust plays up the hate for the crowd heel/face style
theseus is just a ham
I just think theseus chugs himbo juice every morning
yep
theseus literally says he doesn't think zag is royalty (in response to asterius)
Zag:
Zag:
Zag: how much brighter does my laurel need to be
zag: the gods help me because im related to them
theseus: this DEMON would lie to my face, can you believe the nerve asterius!
zag: anyway,
theseus is so great just bc he's so dumb
I cant believe this man got through the labyrinth of crete
well
I dunno, i guess i just want more to him then "dumb himbo makes friend with bull, hates zag"
I want
it wasnt bc he had a smart idea arti
I want to befriend theseus
I want theseus to start to fall for zag in terms of friendship and stubbornly be in denial for about 150 years
i don't think his morals could take it
chokes on my lunch thank you
agshdhdhf
You got it pal :+1:
