I got that, thought she was suppose always do that

Mmmmm long Content Warning content :) Good video!

Zagreus doesn't just refer to Skelly as Schelemeus, Skelly spins a tall tale about his mortal life as the captain of the second Cretan fleet (if I'm recalling correctly) where Schelemeus was his name. He doubles back, claiming it made up (I believe) but it's left ambiguous since we're delivered the story from an unreliable narrator. (Also your statement at the beginning about the game making it out of Early Access "later this year" is untrue, as the devs have estimated it will last into the next year)

Awooga, I mean wow what a respectable man

loved the vid bro was super dope

Hey actually regarding Melinoe's arm its been mentioned by Icarus that she did something to help him (probably to turn him into human/ not full shade) and lost her arm doing that.

I intentionally cut nemesis off even if the room she is going for is worse 🖕🏻

I just realized that Chronos "Crown of light", featured in his dialogue artworks looks very similar to the "stress crown" of Darkest Dungeon games. The stress crown is used as a marker of a otheworldly eldritch presence or a symbol of an unescapable doom. The final boss of Darkest Dungeon 1 also has the power to rewind time after it's defeat, alike Chronos. We still don't know if Chronos will have a 3rd secret phase, like Hades but something tells me that supergiant is cooking something beyond human comprehension. Time devours all ;)

Snatchos can DEFINITELY spawn in groups. My friends and I were on the harbor map and we got bombarded by AT LEAST 4 snatchos, maybe even more than that.

Zagreus being the god of blood also extends to "blood" in a familial sense, bringing his separated family back together and creating a sort of found family with all the other underworld residents

i once had the flicker but got bombarded by snails and we where in the small maze on the ship it was sad

I feel like Artemis did/does have a crush on Zagreus and took a liking to him because he couldn’t necessarily talk back to her since he was in the underworld and she was in the surface or in Olympus.

In regards to the blessing of strife, this is also an interaction you can get at the beginning of the fields of mourning if you get there on your following run

49:44 OH MY GOD, that happened to me, I thought I was just possessed or something, lol.

about the sandman: in the comics, orpheus is a son of Morpheus and Calliope

3142 or rather, 3,142 is also the shortened pi number.

Thank you for the iceberg!! Enjoyed it a lot, also found out more than I could've expected

Whoa what? I didn't know fishing rarity had to do with reaction time. No wonder my slow ass barely got any legendaries.

I think the zombie book is a derivative of the necronomicon, where the idea came from

The player's only crime is playing too fast, and you punished them by making it easier to die. That...feels bad.

OMG!!! HOW DID I miss the Sandman inspiration of Orpheus?!

Don't disrespect my boy, Eye Guy. He is just trying to chill and I'd be pissed too if someone shined a flashlight at me if I had eyes that big

Yea the arm guy isnt rare seen it a good few times since that fix

I love mouthes, theyre so silly

In regards to finding the dialogue about the arm, Hecate mentions Icarus. After you encounter Icarus a few more times during runs, he and mel have a heart to heart about how mel's arm changed and what she did. I'll leave the specifics for you to find.

skibidi company, shit actually looks like it is straight out of skibidi toilet

Is this true? This wasnt for everyone? I saw her at the beginning of every zone in the underworld except the last and she gave me this debuff everytime until managed to beat that zone with the debuff. Usually an extra 1-2 runs. I figured this happened for everyone.

How can a person be killed in cyberspace? Also, can the AIs harm a person who has no cybernetic augments at all?

Regarding Erebus: it is considered a sort of space in between Hades and the surface, where souls roam, unable to pass through to the after life if they paid no toll and where the souls of animals reside. However, Erebus also means darkness itself, or the dark of the underworld specifically. Hades 2 specifically seems to be calling to mind the Odyssey’s usage of Erebus, inspired by how it’s connected to Oceanus. I’m not sure if this explains the usage between games, but it makes me think the space itself is probably used for “storage” in the first game, shown primarily by Charon’s massive gold pile. But also the souls- perhaps in Hades the souls down there are those who couldn’t pay coin, and thus are fighting to earn a spot in the underworld?

it'd be nice to know where the information is coming from, unless I missed it in the video. Might have to watch again. There's a book or something I can read, is there?

👍

A devout The Sandman fan here! In the comics, Dream is Orpheus’s father! In the myth Orpheus is the son of the muse Calliope and in the comics these two were married and Orpheus was their son. I won’t say more not to spoil people who are unfamiliar with the story amd want to read it and/or want to watch s2 blind.

There's a dialogue with Icarus about the arm too

I hope I can be a great asset to the company 😟

I like listening to your professional-sounding voice and articulation.

I think maximum mike is like a reverse of Gary the prophet. Gary is keying us into key events and conspiracies the are so close to home that they end up getting him kidnapped by some corp. Mike on the other hand says some really cool stuff that may have been a thing once upon a time, but have scraped in some way or another. Like the underground Corpo Vampires that probably would have occupied the massive unfinished underground tunnel network under Night City. It probably got scraped at some point and the empty unfinished tunnels and the line from MM are the only sources to let us know it was potentially gonna happen at all. Or the bit about the werewolves in the badlands just being a throw away line to explain why you can sometimes hear coyote and wolf noises in the middle of nowhere out in the badlands despite all wildlife around major cities like NC supposedly being killed off to avoid the spread of the many awful diseases that plague the world of cyberpunk.

I’m not a fan of the new hades character designs

Pissin rn

Aw, the muck playthrough is gone...

She really is a gen z character artist

Regarding Melinoe's arm: her place in mythos is pretty often unheard of. Being the child of Zeus and Persephone, Zeus tore her apart limb from limb when he learned of the pregnancy. Her arm might be referring to this, and Hecate may be joking that her right arm might end up similar to her left if she overworks the cauldron, not that her left arm was a result of doing so beforehand.

Ok but why does he give me sephoroth vibes

You called for someone who is a fan of Dream of the Endless, so here I am! In the Sandman series, the connection between Orpheus and Morpheus is direct: Orpheus is the son of Morpheus, and is "blessed" with the same immortality that the Endless enjoy. Except... immortality is not the same thing as invincibility. On his return from the Underworld, Orpheus encounters the Maenads who demand that he... *cough* party with them to which in his melancholy he refuses. The Maenads take that personally, and tear his body apart. For many centuries Dream refuses to meet with his son again, but finally in the modern era agrees to meet with him and end his millennia long torment by granting him death. In so doing, Dream has committed the cardinal sin: the killing of one's own blood, and so Hecate (aka The Fates, the Furies, and many other names) are allowed to hunt him down. A lot happens in the spaces that I'm not covering there, because everyone should read The Sandman, it's a really great story in it's own right.

I don't think the toy robot was originally designed to be an old bird, but rather the opposite. Old birds are based on the robot toys (at least in the development cycle of the game) The robot model isn't from lethal company. It's from the Upturned (zeekerss previous game) If the robot toy theory is true, the old birds were designed around the toy, not the other way around.

the major update was may 2nd, not april 2nd

It's funny to me that Arms is at the bottom of the iceberg cause I have already encountered it several times with my friends, while Wallo and Mimic haven't showed up even once for us. It's also interesting hearing all the monsters' weaknesses cause the mics and the flashlights (and the camera, obviously) are, like, must have items for us lol As for the Chorby, its inclusion could hint at the fact that Content Warning is the future of the world from that Devolver Digital game

Thanks for watching, I hope you enjoyed this look into the world of Hades! Let me know what other topics you'd like to see videos like this about in the future!

Oh shit, this video just dropped, sick.

If you pay real close attention the the “intro” of V50 in the side room, a testing/imterigation room there is a coil head in there, any ideas?

Phew, good thing this is almost entirely just speculation
