It gets even better once Zag has that one Demeter Boon that instantly kills enemies at 10% health. Demeter just steps in like “You dare hurt my precious grandson?! I shall freeze you cold!”
@@davidmaxwell4696 I mean if we go into etymology the name “Persephone” actually consists of “perso-“ = sheaf of corn + “-phone” from the root “gwhen” (also where words like “bane” were derived from) = (to) strike, hit; combined to mean “thresher of corn”, thusly more in reference to her divinity over verdure, harvest (due to her connection to her mother) etc. Her other “titles” are more transferred meanings e.g. through her connection to Hades and her having to leave the mortal realm for a certain period of time each year to stay in the underworld, thus bringing sadness to Demeter and winter/death to the land etc.
There is evidence that Cerberus is a Pre-Hellenistic way of saying "The Spotted One". So translated to English, Hades literally named his three headed hell hound Spot The first and best GOOD BOI
Olympians: that feast was great glad to know Persephone is okay can't wait to see you again :) Dionysus: I don't remember a gods damned thing but I'm gonna assume it went great !! Can't wait to drink all your wine again :) !!!
After the feast the wine kegs in the kitchen are nearly empty, assuming regular standards, each god probably had 2 or 3 glasses... meaning Dionysus drank a LOT of wine even with the about 420ish gods (Although I think it's implied only the 12 major gods and the house of Hades members were there so it was probably about 60ish glasses of wine BEFORE we go into Dionysus' drinking spree)
Hades: "And how long, pray tell, is it going to take to restock the honor bar after that shameless display of debauchery that our extended family had the audacity to call a feast?" Zagreus: "You put a bar in front of the god of wine, father. Even without the rest of the Olympians present, I'm . . . honestly not sure what else you were expecting to happen."
@@dantebrosia yeah ik lol, it's really funny, there are so many meme vids on YT! I'm referring to what happens in greek mythology whenever Zeus hurls his thunderbolt, literally and figuratively.
Demeter is clearly against Persephone and Hades marriage but she is really happy to be lil Zag grandma, she calls him little sprout, she definitely loves him a lot
@@kamcha9681 Eh idk i guess Smite went with the more recognisable and safe(?) looks for their gods and thats why they look so bland to me, I just really think they couldve pushed them more. Here i really like what they did with Ares because he looks so unconventional and high fantasy compared to what we're used to seeing with most of his portrayals and the same goes for some other characters. Also to me some the voice acting in Smite is pretty horrid, especially with the female gods, like why would they make Athena sound so dumb? That will forever irk me. Tho, what i do like in Smite over hades is Persephone, but then again they portrayed two very different personalities of the goddess.
Okay... so I'm going to address an another guy in the comment section here for the Greek. But the term BOY in this case has a few other meanings in the common greek language. One of them is for servant, even slave, I think. So Kratos and Hades addressing their sons as BOY in context would mean they are not yet MEN, and not yet HEIRS. Hades even says so: he has no heir to the throne, the fates "forbid" it. Thanatos and Hypnos were brought into their "pretend union". In fact Zagreus should have remained dead, but guess who brought him back? That is right. It was Nyx. The MOTHER of the three fates. She has the power and the authority to do so, as Mother Night and the somewhat creator of the realm. Notice how everything shakes, when she tells Hades to back off, or when she scolds Zagreus. So Hades correcting himself by saying the name of his son, and Zagreus noticing it is the moment when they become family and not just blood relatives. From BOY to SON. Imagine it like this: A bastard son can be an asset for the household, even well respected, but shall never be called a SON as an Heir of the fortune.
@@madmanarrivednow a greek friend of mine also stated that "boy" can also be an affectionate nickname for one's son, which fits the case of Atreus significantly better.
it would've been cool if, after the feast, you could see the other olympians down in the underworld on rare occasions, like in the lounge. or if, when you get to hades, the snow would start melting because demeter knows persephone is safe
Turns out later in the game, Demeter says that she got rid of the snow everywhere else except the final boss stage, as a "reminder for what happened, so no one will forget".
@@willnelson9906 that’d be cool and maybe zues talking about sparring with his brother cuz they need some positivity to their relationship something to bond over same for Poseidon
Totes agree but it actually is rather fitting for them not to. In most ancient Greek plays the most joyous/horrific moments were not shown but simply suggested. As they realized your mind could fill it in better then they could ever show.
@@Jimbo55151 Dionysus managed to at least drink 2 barrels of wine... so... anything goes from there, and knowing Aphrodite she probably showed up nude... then proceeded to cause a couple weird hook-ups... while Zeus flirted with his Great grandmother (Nyx)... despite his wife literally being there while Hermes and Charon were having a good time (possibly one of the aforementioned hook-ups)
@@powerthunfischdesdonners3086 According to lore, each head of Cerberus is able to be in different points in time. The Left is the Past, the Center is the Present, and the Right is the Future. The way that Zag pets the left one constantly, while the center one longs for attention, just shows that he respects the past.
Zeus: I know things get complicated, here, and that what's done is done!'' Also Zeus: Just gonna transform into a swan! This is an amazing plan! Who's going to say no to a swan? And yet more Zeus: So, the swan thing was a bit... Non-consensual... Let's try a bull instead!
Zeus: Oooh, how about I try to be a golden rain. I heard humans like that right? Hermes: I don't think you understand what they actually meant by that...
@@imageez Zeus: I hear a mortal “Arkelese” can summon golden rain whenever he pleases. Must be quite the sight! Hermes: It’s “R Kelly” and no, you don’t wanna see it
Y’know after the game awards I never understood the hype behind this game and why it was even nominated for GOTY. But after watching a bunch of gameplay and cutscenes? I can def see why.
The game got me hooked on so many levels after just the first try. Knew that the game will be stylish and refined as all hell, because it is a Supergiant game, but did not think that the mechanics would be so good as well. Should have gotten more awards, but was really nice to see all the nominations 🙂
Everyone else: Zag it was kind of messed up that you lied to us Ares: HEY ZAG THANKS FOR SHOWING ME ALL THE SICK ASS TORTURES YOUR DAD CAME UP WITH, I'VE INVENTED SOME NEW WARCRIMES WANNA TRY!?
Ahh, I know it was a bit much to hope for, but I wish that after the feast that Demeter would turn into her spring form or something, to show that she had found relief and happiness again.
If you authorize Extreme Measures 3 in the Pact of Punishment, Theseus will use a chariot in his first phase, and Asterius will have bronze armor that gives him some extra health. So in short: You did.
then you'd be happy to know Hades 2 has been announced recently, but you probably knew that already 😅 I got so hyped I started re-watching clips from this game
I want a Theseus interaction where upon talking about Persephone’s return or smth, asterius pipes up with something like “The short one is already aware of the queen’s return, for they are related in blood” and Theseus to just be like “what”
It's insane how dense of a game Hades is both in gameplay and story, at first you think it's a roguelite with some story elements but after many successful runs new things just reveal themselves every time
Do y'all think they'll make a sequel to this game? Or just secretly update this game to add more content? Also, I watched the Final Ending video and I was kinda let down they didn't have a portrait of all of them grouped together as a family like the family portrait of Hades, Persephone and Zagreus. The game is incredibly addicting, and I enjoy the story immensly but maybe with Covid being a thing they couldn't get the talent to create that art work Or maybe it's unlockable i don't know. I'm a curious cat who just has 79 runs so far after returning Persephone. .
I can see them adding more content not a sequel because looking at the 2 other Supergiant games I've completed (Bastion and Transistor) all the stories were pretty self-contained with the MC's plot-lines being tied together and as for the other two games they made, (Pyre and Hades) which I'm currently going through I'm sure it'll be the same the story will be tied together and self-contained with Hades have the most potential for add-ons in the form of new gods and potentially new areas but otherwise Zag's story is probably done and they'll move on to their fifth project
Better they move on to something new. Working on the same thing, no matter what it is, for years and years is hard. Especially when there's more ideas for other projects.
I can dream, but sometimes its better that a work die on a high point. Anything that goes on too long inevitably rots. It is better to pull a Cowboy Bebop than a Phantom Menace.
How much does Dionisyus need to drink to forget what happened? I get that being drunk isn't alien to him, but he's still a god, and I'd assume it takes more with him than other gods, so how much?
She’s crazy as hell dusa did nothing maybe nyx thought Zagreus and dusa were dating or she’s just a physco or another reason it’s “unbecoming” of a god
Hi, Persephone will give you this quest when you have a good relationship with her and you have talked to her multiple times. Don't know if there are other requirements.
@@nontimetis And once you get the quest from her, talk to all the gods and get their relationship ratings up until you get the prophecy done, then talk to Persephone again, and she'll have you give invitations to each of the Gods of Olympus.
