  2. Re: one of the three gods being the boss, I have been wondering about them. Dionysus seems unlikely, he stands to gain perhaps the most from returning to the status quo. I guess it could work if they go the Dionysian madness route with him, but that could come off as insensitive. I did have a run recently where Heph and Apollo commented that usually Athena would be the one to greet us, but that she’s busy testing armaments. And then when I got to Chronos he asked if Athena got all the wisdom in the family, which is far and away the most complimentary thing I’ve heard him say about a member of his own family. Ares is the more chaotic god of war so it wouldn’t be shocking if he went turncoat, especially with Eris’ take on it, but something about that Chronos dialog concerns me. But who knows, maybe we’ll get another duo boss fight with both the gods of war

  8. I’ve seen some more data mining regarding the new locations that suggest:

    Area 3 will be Mount Olympus, featuring a Boss relating to ‘Flame’ who is male and presumably a titan, alongside enemies referred to as Automatons. The idea of a male titan with ties to Fire quite strongly suggests Prometheus (who I can imagine Chronos would’ve freed from his punishment mentioned by Zag in Hades 1) which also has nice ties to the new characters of Heracles and (Pan)Dora in the mythology. The issue with this though is that I feel Prometheus’s whole thing of giving fire to man doesn’t really present him as a malevolent force, though I guess he could want revenge on the gods for punishing him? The presence of Automatons also suggests that Talos, a giant bronze automaton made by Hephaestus, could be a potential boss or (more likely due to the evidence of Prometheus) a mini boss like Charybdis, likely reprogrammed by Chronos against the gods as a weapon in his siege on Olympus.

    Area 4 is unknown, but the boss is referred to as BossSnake, and also is male. The idea I’ve seen most thrown around is Typhon, who in different myths is either Chronos’ half-brother or son, the father of most monsters who had previously tried to overthrow Zeus before being buried underneath a mountain. This works as an idea for an equivalent to Chronos as a final boss for a route, and it’s easy to imagine how the story would set him up as wanting revenge on the Olympians. He is depicted often with serpent-like qualities, and is strongly linked to another serpentine monster, Python, who Apollo slew at Delphi. This may also be wrong, but I’ve also heard that the gods have lines on the surface referring to the earth shaking, which could be a reference to Typhon being imprisoned under a mountain and escaping.

  9. my guess: third biome is like garden/outskirts of olympus and will have a larger creature boss. my random guess is the Sphinx or Chimera. then the actual palace of the gods is the final biome and you fight ares or some other god idk
