r/Hades2

Since she was the one who gave the golden apple to the three goddesses and Paris chose aphrodite promising Helen which started a war.

I'm a fashion designer working on a collection inspired by the character of Chaos from the game Hades.

I've posted previously on this, and took on a lot of great feedback. The earlier version felt too soft/realistic and disconnected from the art-style. Now, I feel the new direction is more recogniseable in terms of elements/colour/art-style but I would love your honest opinions before we go into the final detailing.

Keeping in mind, the goal is not to replicate the art-style 1:1, because that lean more towards reproduction than interpretation. The idea is more: what would Chaos look like translated onto a real body through fashion?

So, let's hear your thoughts again:

If you saw someone wearing this in public, would your brain connect it to Chaos? (also interested to know which elements are doing the heavy-lifting recognition-wise, or what you feel it misses - if anything)

I'm also doing more regular updates and sourcing feedback in a small discord group of you would like to be a part of the process: https://discord.gg/S5jzCBjQHH

After carving out my first two victories with an aphrodite axe build I got tired of dying so often just before I would have had him again. Saw a video of using medea with zeus on special and hestia on attack and went "oh well lets give it a try" (I just so happened to be able to upgrade it to rank V immediately too)

That was the quickest and smoothest typhon fight I had - the rest was quite easily handled too

Guess I'll get my rramining two victories for story progression like this and then get back to experimenting myself

Hi. So i just bought Hades 2 cuz I really like Hades 1 last year. Been playing for a week now and my dumbass thought that going to the surface for the third time out of curiosity is a great idea CUZ WTF IS THIS?! I SPENT 6 DEATH DEFIANCE!? thinking "oh ok, we are just gonna go to the mountain and have a chitchat with all the olympians after I clear the monster on the surface" then I encountered Athena and got surprised cuz why is she giving me death defiance for every location. Then here I am, with 2 death defiance left and 100/200 health, thinking where did my 40 minutes lend me then die after zeus just throw some french fry lightning and me getting jump by a horde of yellow health bars.

GREAT GAME 10/10.

I HATE THE ANIMATIONS THAT FREEZE ME I TAKE HELLA DAMAGE (i almost cleared surface on a REALLY good run)

Moros as he looks in the eyes of the mortals in their final moments to make those moments dignified. Such a sweetheart he has :')

Hope you'll like ^^

Oh pls increase the resolution to see it better :>

Escape the Underworld as Melinoë in Zagreus' Journey, the Hades II DLC you'll never get.

It's finally time, I've just released Zagreus' Journey 1.0 - thank you to everyone who's played the mod while it was in beta, and for all of the positive reception and feedback I've gotten here and on Discord in the past!
Watch the 1.0 Release Trailer for the mod here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxuTLSPqIEE

Zagreus' Journey is a mod for Hades II that adds the original route Zagreus took through Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium and the Temple of Styx in the first game to the sequel.

Escape the Underworld as Melinoë, battle familiar foes and bosses using her unique abilities and weapons, meet Zagreus' old friends, and reconnect with your family's past - all integrated into the main game as if it was always there: Naturally progress through the new biomes, unlock new incantations to perform, reveal and complete new Minor Prophecies, forge bonds with NPCs in familiar and new locations, collect over 30 new resources to spend on new cosmetics and music, and test your skills with new Testaments, Chaos Trials and in Dream Dives.

Here's a list of highlighted mod features:

• Play through the original four biomes of Hades as Melinoë: Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium and the Temple of Styx.
• Discover and overcome the challenge of fighting all of the original game's enemies and bosses using Melinoë's unique abilities and weapons.
• Relive Zagreus' story by escaping to the Surface, forging bonds with your brother's old friends, and conversing with the Fury Sisters, the Champions of Elysium and [REDACTED] himself.
• Benefit from a multitude of entirely new boons and effects offered to you by Sisyphus, Eurydice, Patroclus... and other familiar faces that you will now be able to meet along the way!
• Collect 30+ new resources specific to the new biomes, use them for unlocks in this and other mods (see section below), and trade them with the Broker.
• Unlock 29 new musical tracks from Hades' original soundtrack through the Hades OST for the Music Maker mod integration (automatically installed with this mod).
• Decorate the Crossroads with 45+ new cosmetics, including new Cauldrons, Arcana Card Backs, and Charms inspired by Zagreus' companions from the first game.
• Discover and complete 35+ new Minor Prophecies at the Fated List.
• Complete 24 new testaments by clearing the new bosses using each of your weapons with new fear levels.
• Discover and perform 20+ new incantations to unlock gameplay features and progress story events in Zagreus' Journey.
• Unlock six of the original game's keepsakes by forging relationships with Sisyphus, Eurydice, Patroclus, Orpheus, Megaera and Thanatos through the Shared Keepsake Port mod integration (automatically installed with this mod).
• Challenge yourself with a set of new Chaos Trials, including randomized "Chaos Within" trials in the spirit of (Great) Chaos Above and Below.
• Advance through 50 new cosmetic-only ranks at the Spirit Mixer, from the lowly "Alpha Warden" to the feared "Unseen One".
• Earn a new set of three statues from Commander Schelemeus by escaping the Nightmare Realm at progressively higher fear.
• The four new regions can also appear in Dream Dives (but you can use the mod config to exclude them if you so wish).
• Read all about the new biomes, enemies, bosses and friends in a new chapter in your Codex.

I want to thank everyone who's used the mod while it was still in beta, and especially those of you who've left bug reports and feedback on Discord and GitHub.

I also want to acknowledge that I know some of you had issues with mods (and Zagreus' Journey in particular) causing issues after Supergiant released Post-Launch Patch 2 - without going into details, the patch was much larger and substantial than we anticipated in the community, which could cause crashes for some people even with mods seemingly disabled.

But I'm happy to share that we've since updated a lot of the tools that we use, and now mods will be entirely separate from your install, meaning that no matter what, you will always be able to play vanilla Hades II without issues, and without needing to disable or manually uninstall anything.

And to also pre-empt some other potential questions:

• The mod is only available on PC and Steam Deck, consoles are not supported, just like all other mods.
• You need to own and have the first Hades game installed to use this mod.
• You can use cross-saves with Switch, but must make sure you are not in a modded run when continuing on Switch.
• You should always back up your saves before playing with mods - just in case.
• The mod is save to uninstall/disable at any point, and won't break your save. You can install it again at any point and your progress will be retained!
• This mod does not make Zagreus playable, and I won't be working on a mod like that.
• Yes, Lernie's neck has been found in the depths of Asphodel's lava since my last post!

why aren’t we talking about it

This has to be my favorite duo boon.

It’s just so useful having an invincible side kick who does a bunch of damage.

I was wondering why Prometheus took forever to beat 😅

It’s mer month and bull season yeah? Here’s Scylla Zag and Asterius Meli from last year’s halloween art 👉🏻👈🏻

Guys she's been beating my ahh so much how the hell can i avoid that much stuff she's doing in the fight basically all arena is full of damaging AOI and missiles from the big octopus ,the drum girl too is so protected she's too much and hardest boss so far in a bad way to be homest

I’ve always found hexes pretty game changing.

Lunar ray is my favorite. So fast and deadly when infused with Apollo’s sunlight.

I don’t think there is truly a bad hex. Even weak ones (like wolf howl and dark side) serve a purpose by getting you out of bad situation.

Boiling enemies alive with Mel staff, Poseidon boons, and Hestia boons.

If that wasn’t good enough, I managed to get Apollo’s legendary boon, which then doubled the amount of water spheres. Hands down one of the most fun runs I’ve had.
