Chaos is also a primordial being who precedes the universe. To them, this whole escape stuff and Olympian drama is just quaint. Ascribing morality to them doesn't make sense because Chaos is the embodiment of both nothing and everything at once.

Chaos asks you to beat Hades while holding the Cosmic Egg for the lulz. They have no stake in your conflict whatsoever.

Hey, anyone who can make pull a practical joke on Hades (and Zagreus, if you think about it) and get away with it in this universe is okay in my book.

It's actually kind of odd that the Olympians fear them, given that the general trend of Classical Mythology is that the younger generations of deities are stronger than their predecessors. Ouranos was surpassed by his son Cronus. Cronus and the Titans were defeated by the Olympians. And Zeus took a lot of precautions against the same thing happening to him.

The only older deity that commanded the Olympians' fear and respect was Nyx. As for Chaos...in the original myths Chaos arguably wasn't even sentient.

It's not entirely clear what Chaos even does, tbh. He is the patron of the primordial state of existence, which renders him somewhat without a job in the present - a status he seems pointedly aware of in his conversations.

Though I guess you could make the case that his realm is the foundation on which the rest of reality sits, I prefer to think of him as the God of Watching the Other Gods and Rolling His Eyes.

"I'm the God of Nothing."

"So you don't do anything?"

"No, I do Nothing. There's a difference. I'd try to explain it, but your brain would pop like a grape."

Speaking of gods who don't do anything...poor Zagreus. The only deity with no known domain to call their own.

This is true of his original Orphic counterpart too - while we know of his existence, we don't have enough records to indicate what exactly he was a god of.

The game does eventually push the idea of him as the god of blood, but it's never actually confirmed.

Yes, there are multiple sources of speculation of Zagreus as the god of blood and life. Which fits him to a T, if you think about it.

Which makes it ironic that Thanatos, whom is a god of death, falls in love with Zag whom is a god of blood and life.

Achilles' journal speculates that that's part of the reason, actually.

This is kinda a general mythology question but I wonder what would happen if someone mixed all 5 of the Underworld river waters into the same cup and drank them. (It'd probably depend on the status of the person in question) XD

Game's pretty cool so far on my Switch, but apparently they're not going to waste time explaining how it works? Read the wiki if I want to know what the random symbols mean or what the controls are?

But don't give up hope. Everyone is cured sooner or later. In the end we shall shoot you.

If you got any questions, we can answer. I found it pretty intuitive but I've been playing for ages so I don't even remember what confused me at the start other than the skulls on some doors (it means there's a miniboss or elite encounter but the rewards are better).

The game doesn't explain a lot of the collectibles or advanced mechanics right away, if at all sometimes. Partially because Skelly is the primary way it informs the player about such things, and you can only talk to him once per run.

You don't get movement guides for your weapon until you meet Skelly (after your first run), also.

The only essential tip I can think of for someone just starting is to hold onto your nectars and try to gift one to each character first, then build a deeper relationship with characters, so you can get the keepsakes. Get Skelly's first.

My first keepsake was Skelly's, but then I got Cerberus's and never took it off except for a quest that had me wear something different. XD

A patch is coming out! This one sounds fun.

• Fixed event requirements for Final Boss acknowledging if you can get there without Olympian Boons

Also, Hades said something snarky about my redecorating, which is kinda a running gag, and I was like 'I didn't ask you, DAD!' at the game XD We especially have a thing going on where I buy tons of rugs and he gets more and more frustrated. It's so funny!

I'm now at the point where I can consistently reach the final boss, but I'm still having trouble beating him and escaping. But I think that might be because I've been prioritizing fulfilling prophecies with my boon and hammer upgrade choices over effectiveness. This, even though most of the "Get these boons from this god" or "get these upgrades for this weapon" award gemstones, and I don't see any more non-cosmetic rewards at the House Contractor. I guess it's just the completionist in me.

I also have a question. Do alternate aspects of weapons count separately for bounties (For example, if I defeat a Fury with different aspect of the sword, will I get another Titan Blood?), or do I have to rely on the Wretched Broker or endgame shop to get more of them?

I dont think they do. You will get a better way to get titan blood after beating the final boss.

Zeromaeus Since: May, 2010

I can confirm that aspects do not count separately. Just weapon types.
