Does Thanatos say anything when you die, like in the trial of gods? Apparently, not really. I’ve noticed that:
– Usually, he seems to only react to you taking damage or dying for the first time with a simple voice line.
– He seems to always talk when targetting and finishing enemies.
– He seems to seldom react to you hitting him.
– He seems to spawn in Tartarus much more rarely than in Asphodel or Elysium, and only during generic encounters, probably for prioritizing encounters with many enemies.
– His power takes time to activate in a small area and is easy to miss.
– Since armor is a second HP bar immune to crowd control effects, his power won’t really damage an armored enemy :/
– His power seems to activate on the walk-able terrain closest to you and the closest enemy.
– He remembers Theseus XD it’s a shame that I didn’t record the first time I used Mort there.
– You don’t need to defeat him to find him home later!
Update! I’ve found his death lines in line 7687 in AudioData.lua but IDK how to trigger them. Can’t believe that he actually brings Zagreus home. Lines are:
— Time to go home. — Can’t be helped. — You tried. — Oh, Zag… — What were you thinking. — You’re dead. — You’re dead, Zag. — You’re coming with me. — That’s it. — That does it. — Well, come along. — You had this coming. — What did you expect. — No escaping Death. — I have to take you back. — Let’s go home. — Let’s go, Zag. — We’re heading home. — There is no escape. — Time to die. — Blood and darkness. — In the name of Hades. — Death has come. — Not this time. — I’m sorry. — I have to take you now. — It’s over. — You’re finished. — You brought this on yourself. — Your luck’s run out. — Nothing I can do.
Updating again, I DID IT! https://youtu.be/5Ag3dtk24D4?t=2378 IDK why he has so many lines for an event that can only happen if the player suicides. I also figured out more about his spawning (from a comment): “according to his coding (even though I don’t understand it entirely) some of his requirements are that you took damage in the last “five” (minutes? Chambers?); are past chamber number 9/2/3 (of Tartarus/Asphodel/Elysium ‘biome depth’); and that the chamber has a certain difficult and number of certain enemies of a ramping value that I have no idea how is calculated…
He’s complicated lol. I tried lowering the biome depth so he’d have more chances to spawn, but it broke the game sometimes, and others the enemies wouldn’t appear. I succeed in making him spawn multiple times in a run (his max is 1) and in easier chambers by lowering the difficult and minimum enemy numbers.”

Idk if it's late to tell you but about the lines that you can't trigger, they appear after you done the competition with Than and die while not talking to him/taking the centar heart yet
i found in a reddit post that he will likely spawn if you take damage in ~3 standard encounters in a row… i tried it once and it worked!!
also thank u for sharing the lines when zag dies in front of him… they are

I'm honestly impressed with how much work you put into discovering all of this. Good job and keep fighting the good fight.
the death is inescapable lines could only be triggered when dying in asphodel.. why asphodel alone i dont know..
thank you for the compilation!
I'd like to think when meg said "Thanatos, here?!" she was jealous…. shut up I'm not a shipper
I'm a multishipper, there's a difference
4:25 "Looks like I win by default, Zag"
omg Than
*dies cutely"
i… was not aware you could talk to the boulder dhjshsnsbs amazing
There's also this cute moment where if you die with Than there (or perhaps after you finish a competition) he shows up like Hades during a 45 sec encounter and is like "we're going home". I was so pleasantly surprised when that happened
Quality content right here. Thank you
AT 6:00 DID ZAGREUS REALLY JUST MAKE A PUN ABOUT DYING NEXT TO THAN BY SAYING "I'M NEAR DEATH" AND DID THAN REALLY LAUGH AT IT
I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE DORKS
Sisyphus: a
Than: Zag, hold my puddle
I’ve died plenty of times but no Than yet!
I’d like to know how to unlock him, but at the same time I’m trying to die less lol. I’m being counter productive. 
Can’t wait to seen him for the first time. 
Thank you for sharing this video. Stay safe. 
Amazing, Than refers to a lot of the bosses and minibosses by name <3
Thank you for this video! You doing to Greek Gods' work ♥️ btw Than also has interesting reactions if you summon Sisyphus and Bouldy while he's fighting the monsters with you.
too bad the volume on the video is so low.
