► Hades 1.0 Full Release Story Synopsis
Hades is a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler that combines the best aspects of Supergiant’s critically acclaimed titles, including the fast-paced action of Bastion, the rich atmosphere and depth of Transistor, and the character-driven storytelling of Pyre.
As the immortal Prince of the Underworld, you’ll wield the powers and mythic weapons of Olympus to break free from the clutches of the god of the dead himself, while growing stronger and unraveling more of the story with each unique escape attempt.

All those times Welonz mocked Hades for not being strong lead to this. Such karma can't be beaten.
In most versions, Aphrodite's husband is Hephaestus, god of blacksmiths and metalworkers (who is not in the game). Thinking about it, he is likely the one who made all of the weapons you wield, seeing as he is said to have forged all of the weapons of the Olympians.
Aphrodite is married to Hephaistos, the ugly god of the forge. In some sources his mother Hera tossed him off the mountain of Olypmus directly after giving birth because he was ugly. There are several stories about him getting revenge but in some others his father Zeus gives him Aphrodite (yes, without her consent) as a bride by way of a peace offering. She cheats on him a lot, mainly with Ares and that one time they got caught in the act and all the other gods think is hilarious.
Your reaction to unlocking Than is the best. He does, indeed, love you lol
Still loving this series thanks!
Oh NOOOOO! The Bestest boy betrayal!
Aphrodite's husband is Hephaestus, the god of the forge. The son of Zeus and Hera (or, in some tellings, produced by Hera alone) and a masterful inventor, he's crippled–either from birth, or because he intervened in an altercation between Zeus and Hera and Zeus threw him off Olympus. Zeus paired Aphrodite off with him to keep other gods from warring over her beauty but this absolutely does not stop her from… beguiling other gods with her beauty. (She's got children with Hermes, Ares, Poseidon, and Dionysus aaaand none with Hephaestus.)
He doesn't appear in Hades game, although many fans initially think that Daedalus Hammers could/should have been boons from Hephaestus instead. The game's writer, Greg Kasavin, has stated that they settled on the hammers for a little more variety in the kind of pickups you could receive in the game.
…anyway that's my infodump at 20 minutes in, looking forward to your first taste of EM4 Hades! Good luck to the you of the past!
You get a nectar! And you get a nectar! Everybody gets a nectar!
Wow you did amazing considering you weren’t even using the blocking mechanic on the shield much! Also, let me say, I’m not sure if you noticed, but Hades doesn’t summon minibosses unless it’s on Extreme Measures 4. So things like the Meandusa and super butterfly balls.
Loved your reaction to seeing Than’s mysterious new UI for the hearts as well as when Hades used a call on you and summoned Cerberus!
Enemies summoned during the Hades bossfight have a ton more HP than normal. That's why their color is different.
Heightened Security on EM4 😬😬😬
Welonz!! 😁😁😁
I always use your videos as white noise when I go to bed, honesty your soft voice is so easy to relax and crash out to lol
welonz i dont know if you have realized by now but when a room has a skull symbol with an arrow its a mini boss, and when it has 3 arrows is a boss room
So I guess Hades on EM4 will be your new goal for now 😛
Glad to see you lose once again tbh, not in a bad way, the more challenge the more fun these videos are!
6:00 "Like a bird's eye point of view, but a bat's eye point of view."
There's actually significant evidence to suggest Zagreus… doesn't really know what a bird is. Bat's are the closest he has down here. Earlier, when you first see Hermes' symbol, Zagreus goes "hm, looks like a bat wing" despite the obvious feathers.
Also, keep in mind Meg's interest in the bat cage, there's a very very cute reason that she took notice in it that she eventually discusses after maxing out your relationship.
Between Artemis, Aphrodite, Than and Meg lots of great and funny interactions in this one 😀
Still surprised that you saw Than more than Meg in your playthrough, compared to mine (and probably most people?) due to the RNG I guess but still.
And congrats, pretty amazing how well you've done for a first run on heat 16!
"You're trapped" – Hades, after killing you with a trap. Genius
What was healing Hades? Well, perhaps you should look back on what was consistently in the arena during those times. Let's just say one of his old obstacles for you has become an extra benefit for himself.
Oh man. I hope Meg and Than don't get jealous over you, Zaggie-poo. But really, don't worry, the game makes any final decisions very obvious.
I'm excited to see your reactions to companions (I recommend Than's out of the ones you'll have by then).
Ambrosia will also upgrade the companions you earn with it as you give it to characters. If you plan on getting them all then you're going to need a lot of ambrosia.
It's still probably my least favorite cast, but Crush Shot is actually decent if you can combine it with Blown Kiss.
Welonz, when you have to make that decision, remember that gods have very different idea of relationship than mortals'.
Btw, companions is the last category in the codex that you were missing. And I genuinely think that some perks are only unlocked at lv 2 Benefit Packages.
You actually got way closer than I thought you would! The next time you use the shield, just remember that you can use it to nullify any projectile in the game. Doing that would likely have gotten you through super Hades on the first go.
About Hades with extreme measures if you want to have less trouble with Hades i do recommend going with Artemis Boons you need that critical and DPS boost ,do you want to get rid of those elite enemies even faster? Go for extra damage and critical to armored enemies and with the twin fist weapon Breaching Cross from Daedalus Boons you literary cut them like butter.
As for the sound you were asking about while fighting Hades that was the shockwave ;unlike normal fight when Hades use the beams he also does that, And finally yes the shield blocks everything as long as you're facing that attack or AOE.
The Acorn needs to be levelled up and used far more often, It is by far superior to the broken spear.
The acorn can negate the first 5 hits on a boss like Hades.
“Little Zagreus” HAHAHA I’m glad you noticed that. Zagreus is smaller than Meg, which only lends itself more to Meg’s, dare I say it, top energy.
You're going to want to start sinking gems into improving the Lounge for Dusa.
~58:00 is where I would've used the reroll. Or on the Athena boon in Styx. Deflect is what I looked for in this run (which is personal preference, not saying it is objectively right). Worth saving it for one specific instance like that, though.
1:19:55 Chimaera Jerky is a gamble here, but for the price stands a fair chance of reaching Hades. In this case, it would've paid off. …that said, it would probably not have been enough, by itself. Erebus gates seem to need consideration, just like Chaos.
A hammer instead of one or the other of the Erebus Gates might've gone a bit further. With your setup, you needed an almost perfect run, I think… and got a merely exceptional run instead, because all of this is nitpicking; the core gameplay was great.
The butterflies are definitely what did you in, if you have to point at something in that fight.
I actually think Thanatos is – organically – the best romance choice in the game. Weapon aspects seem to unlock once you've invested 5 Titan Blood, with certain characters and random conversations for each. Why is Dusa assigned to clean the House? Someone pointed out the (groan-worthy) pun to me: she is "Maid Dusa." I look forward to seeing the Companion.
I really wanted to see how bad the screen pollution would be with support fire there, with you having Demeter cast and Zeus aspect equipped. Maybe next time!
Orpheus's singing voice is Zagreus's voice actor
just from what I've seen it seems like it would have been a good idea to do a few things here. 1 was to actually get an extra cast crystal from Chaos, that usually isn't a great upgrade but it really is for Demeter's Cast I would think.
Another is to reroll on Athena in hopes of getting Deflect for Attack, Special, or Dash. Deflect would've been a lifesaver.
failing that I would've just simply not bothered with a Call and got Support Fire from Artemis.
also the Bull Rush hammer ended up a total waste because you forgot about it.
also also it hurt seeing you not get Zeus' legendary boon.
