This game is so damn charming. I love how there is little bits of relationships scattered all over the underworld that all can be tied together. Also seeing Persephone, Hades and Zag sorta get along fills me with joy. Im pretty sure Zagreas comes from pre Dark Ages Greece! Some say he used to be Dionysus.
The Dionysus part even gets referenced in the game when Dionysus himself convinces Zag to do a "harmless prank" on Orpheus by just starting the myth that they're one and the same. Which Orpheus actually believes without a doubt.
In truth Zagreus is one of the most mysterious god. (He is supposed to be the god of rebirth - which the game tackle with the constant deaty) He can also be a son of Persephone and Zeus (yikes) Funny when the Dionysos aspect of Zagreus is called Orphic Dionysus when the game prank Orpheus.
@@anonyme4881 it's the first time i have heard Persephone had a thing with Zeus XD Persephone and hades were the only couple in all of Greek mythology that respected each other and actually showed love for another now if you tell me that Zeus (R WORD) Persephone i would believe it since he was.... let's say he wasn't a good role model -_-
@@iasonastzene9151 Greek mythology wasnt something fixed and there isnt a "canon", one story to end them all The Persephone and Zeus thing is from Mycaennian Greece, 300 years before classical greek mythology. (In this early greek mythos Poseidon is the king of god) Hades didnt exist in Mycaennian Greece, so this isnt cheating technically. Zagreus changed a lot in time. As Hades was created he remplaced Zeus as the father (He also stole Persephone title of God of Hell, she probably came from Ereshkigal from Sumerian mythos) Later, Zagreus became Dyonisus
@@naethavenir9422 his biggest mistake was interfering with Zeus' "Zeus business" and cheating death. He doesn't deserve this as we was just wanted water for his people. I like how they went with gentle giant Sisyphus.
@@weirdreportt its not exactly that clean cut if you go through the myths, he had a habit of stealing from his guests and lots of guest murder so it was based on that, him trapping death and Tricking Persophone into haunting his wife only to not do that and live till old age.
It's been a very fun ride if this is the last of the tid bits of lore and interactions you had left to discover. Without your videos I would have never found out about this game's amazing story and soundtrack!
For some reason I imagined the Narrator saying his last bit in the flesh, only hooded so you can't tell his identity, then him stopping Zagreus the moment he steps out of the underworld, then killing him himself after saying "bye-bye". How? Maybe a classic stab to the gut?
I just got myself the second statue. No way in hell I'm gonna attempt for the third one. Maybe if they had given some achievement for that but nope !!!
@@nontimetis o.O Still not done after 200 h? What is still left? I'm currently ~ 70 h and I aim for enabling all weapon aspects, fulfilling the duo and legendary boon prophecies, and maxing out all affinities and completing the epilogue.
@@MartilloB My codex is missing some info on the legendary fishes, weapon aspects have not been upgraded to full, two themes need to be bought and I am nowhere near the maximum rank 😂 Nothing that important really.
@@nontimetis Ah, I see. Good luck with the remaining items. I tend to be an obsessive completionist but in some games there comes a point where I have to say "stop, enough" and focus on progressing in my own game of life again. And despite being fun, Hades with its grinding will be one of those games 😁
@@MartilloB I could not complete 100% either as the revards for doing so are minimal in Hades. You get really god and touching dialogue for the smallest of things and huge efforts present you with very little or nothing at all. Awesome game anyway
Thanatos referring to his job as being the "bearer of good news" is actually really wholesome.
DEATH APPROACHES
Oh, yay! I get a free room!
"I'm here to tell you, this bit is over."
"IT'S ALL OVER OH ZEUS IT'S ALL OVERRR"
"No, not all over you silly, just this bit!"
The complete opposite to Moros who is the "Official Bearer of Bad News".
"Say hi to Hypno for me!"

@@anonyme4881 oohhhh I thought you were talking about classical Greek mythology that's why I commented XD sry my misunderstanding
Why does that incredibly buff manacled man sound like he's about to beat me in chess in seven moves?
He definitely has a very good way with words.
Sisyphus?
It’s because Bouldy is his chess partner of course!
Tbh Sisyphus here looks cuddly & deserving a hug despite his past sins

"for any tale worth telling is a tale worth telling again and again and again." (points at hadestown) same idea! same hat lmao
What happens after getting this card? Like, if you reach the surface, beat Hades and die again? Does stuff get recycled?
"GET OUT OF HERE, YOU SKELETON."
“I’m so scared boyo”

Thakn you, I will still post a couple more videos on the story bits, but there is very little to uncover anymore at the moment.
Thank you so much for doing all of this. You're truly indispensable!
No problem. Happy to be of use 🙂
Thanatos the bearer of good news!

Ah they never expect the ol' Caesar special.
Hades: the game where you can become best buddies with a boulder!
There's even a bouldy-based boon, it is nothing big, just a 4% increase to special attack damage
"You believe in Bouldy, and Bouldy believes in you."
Thank you for making these
God this is so much info and things to do
All I can think of with Sisyphus and Bouldy is Rock Of Ages...
That is an awesome game as well🙂
All I can think of is Wilson from Castaway when I see Bouldy
To be fair, if people knew there was an afterlife, there’d be an influx of shades
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Huh. Bearer of gold news. I like that
He and Discworld Death should hang out.
bro that last than dialogue im bawling
No one.
Not a single soul.
Absolutely no one.
Bouldy : :3
Congrats! Now do 32 Heat with everything.
Way too rusty at this point to even try 😂😂
I just got myself the second statue.
No way in hell I'm gonna attempt for the third one.
Maybe if they had given some achievement for that but nope !!!
even with god mode on, 32 heat sounds like a bit much...
Ok, so I didn't know you could offer nectar to Bouldy, neither where Skelly statues were.
Thanks I suppose?
I've been thinking for a while the Narrator could be Charon
@nontimetis Thank you for all the videos! How long did it take you to complete everything in Hades?
No problem. Still not done with everything, but been playing close to 200 hours now.

Is it over nooooo
Yeah, not much left to do anymore :(
is there any way to see how many people got so far as you? (are there any achievements), i believe not many, perhaps very few.
I don't think so, as the achievements don't track the very late game stuff. Would be great as there is no way to know if I am still missing something.
Hot damn..
Sorry if you answered this but what do rank ups do?
Hi, They don't do anything really, just the insignia next to your healthbar changes.

You can gift the Boulder?
Yes and he give you a random gift buff
That last message was kinda weird
How did you get it
Hi, By seeing all other possible messages. They will start repeating after that.

Nice title and thumbnail. How about avoiding spoiling the game a tad
How about no watching videos about it if you don't want spoilers?
@@formula2838 ehm. You don't need to watch the video to read the title. Nor see the tumbnail.
Hence my point.
