If they can fight their way through the Gaea’s forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape? The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus. He made an appearance in one of the early trailers where Percy and the others encounter him in the Underworld. He was seen with his wife, Persephone, on the sidelines, bargaining for the Master Bolt for Percy's mother, Sally Jackson.
Sequel
For me the highlight of their trip to Tartarus is learning to give chance and to trust that even enemies could be great allies. Also by treating someone as a friend, even if it would be insane to do so, he would also treat you as a friend and will choose to be on your side even if it means betraying traditions. The novel received positive reviews from critics for its more-mature themes compared to previous Riordan novels. During the first week of its release, The House of Hades sold about 350,000 copies, reaching the top of the bestseller lists of The New York Times, USA Today, The Globe and Mail and The Wall Street Journal. Those dark and unknowable aspects were complemented by an opposite and beneficial aspect. The god of the underworld was usually worshipped under a euphemistic epithet such as Clymenus (“the Renowned”) or Eubouleus (“Good Counsellor”).
Zeus
Her left arm is translucent, revealing her skeleton underneath, and glows a bright green color. It appears that the arm could be the source of power or magic, or perhaps that she lost her own arm earlier in life and manifested a magical prosthetic, but the truth remains unclear. Both the origin and purpose of her glowing arm are unknown at this point. Fans are already theorizing that Schelemeus and Skelly from Hades have some sort of secret connection because of their designs and roles in each game. It’s too early to say yet, but I appreciate the quirky drill sergeant vibes this guy brings to Hades 2. Nemesis is one of the handful of characters you can meet at the base camp.
The Blood of Olympus
As a result, Hades decided to search for the Helm's thief himself, with the help of his loyal Furies. On Hades's orders, the Fury Alecto infiltrated Yancy Academy as a mathematics teacher, after the last one had a nervous breakdown (due to Hades' power most likely, as he can generate intense terror even without the Helm). Alecto soon discovers that one of the students, Percy Jackson, is an unclaimed demigod son of Poseidon. Later, Hades abducts Sally Jackson when she is about to be killed by the Minotaur to use her as a bargaining chip for Percy to return the Helm to him. Asclepius was the favorite demigod son of Apollo, who eventually became the greatest healer in the world.
Demeter
After the successful rescue, Hades arranged for Nico to have a dream meeting with Maria and Bianca to gain closure and openly expressed his pride in his son. It was also revealed in a conversation with Reyna, that Hades once gave Nico a zombie chauffeur, Jules-Albert, since he was attempting to be a little more like normal mortal parents, who normally drive their children to places. After Percy and Annabeth fall into Tartarus, Nico agrees to lead the Seven to the Necromanteion, Hades' greatest temple and shrine. Later on, Hades' son Lynkos, the cruel King of the Scythians, is mentioned by Triptolemus. Furthermore, due to the bad relationship between Demeter and Hades, Triptolemus initially refuses to help Nico and Hazel in any way.

As a result, Hades paid a visit to Hera, and made it clear to her that there would be direct consequences for her if she would ever send Hercules or another hero on any such errand again. Thus, placing aside his mighty club and deadly Hydra arrows, Hercules returned to Cerberus to wrestle the beast barehanded. Cerberus was tremendously strong and fierce, his three heads biting and snarling rapidly. The combatants seemed evenly matched, and fought so fiercely that earth cracked beneath them and walls shook. In the end, however, Hercules managed to headlock and slowly drag Cerberus out of the Underworld, back to King Eurystheus. The king was terrified when Hercules returned, as he had not expected Hercules to return from what he believed to be a suicide mission, and ordered the hero to get the beast out of his kingdom.
After remembering that his father, Mars, can turn enemies to snakes, Frank decides to battle all the Katobleps (cow monsters) in exchange for a snake. He defeats all of the monsters and receives the blessing of Mars for his heroism, becoming physically stronger and gaining a snake for Triptolemus. During a later encounter with the bandit Sciron and after a meeting with the goddess Hecate, Hazel successfully learns to manipulate the Mist, a power that alters other people's reality layers by deceiving them.
Boons of Hephaestus
We can assume PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are planned, with last-gen systems and the Switch being up in the air at the moment. More Gods could be making their appearances in Hades 2 in the future, as we’ve only gone as far as visiting Erebus. The game’s also in a testing period, meaning that we haven’t seen even half of our journey to the House of Hades just yet. But I wouldn’t worry about the future as what we’ve seen up until here is nothing short of incredible. The coolest uncle ever is back as the God of the Sea rushes to aid his niece in a time of peril. With the Slip effect added to his Boons, Melinoë can bounce her foes back to the walls while making them more vulnerable to damage.
I think the internet collectively gasped when Supergiant Games first revealed her because, like everybody else on this list, she looks amazing and like she can kick serious ass. So far, we’ve seen two designs for her, including one section that shows her as a child. If there was any takeaway from that technical test, it’s that the cast will be a huge draw for both new and old fans.
Her main gimmick is the Morph effect, which turns enemies into puny little creatures for a limited time. Another daughter of Nyx, Nemesis is Retribution Incarnate and dwells on the Crossroads, helping to raise and train Melinoë until she manages to stand up against the Titan thread. And just like his Mother once did, he seems to be inclined to maintain order in the Underworld by helping the youngest of Hades’ descendants, although not directly through battle. Being one of the original Gods who defied the Titans and slayed them originally, she resumes her role once more in the war against Chronos with her Scorch-inflicting boons.
If they get there in time, they can open their Doors, rescue their friends, and save the world. Meanwhile, in the Necromanteion, the rest of the heroes confront Pasiphae and Clytius. Pasiphae informs them that she is regenerating the Labyrinth, which was destroyed when Daedalus died in The Battle of the Labyrinth, and intends to use it for her own purposes, to aid Gaea.
Even Hades himself shed a few tears, feeling as though Orpheus had distilled Hades' life, with all its grief and disappointment, all its darkness and solitude, and turned it into music. Apollo was angered and devastated by his favorite son's death, and killed one of the younger Cyclopes who forged Zeus' thunderbolts in retaliation and this resulted in Zeus making Apollo mortal and forcing him to serve a king for a whole year. To prevent more feuds, Asclepius was resurrected and made into a god, but Hades forbid him from ever resurrecting the dead again. While Hades did very much love his wife Persephone, he was quite lonely during the time she spent with Demeter, which is when he would have affairs, which, however, usually ended badly. For instance, when Hades fell in love with the beautiful Oceanid Leuke, he brought her to the Underworld. While preparing for the final battle of the War, Hades and his siblings ascended to Mount Olympus (the tallest mountain in Greece after Mount Othrys).
Although, unlike her brother, her heterochromia is reversed, leaving her left eye red, and her right one green. Sure, new hero Melinoë’s black magic-inspired gameplay looks great and all, but there’s a lot more to see. The developers showed off returning characters from Hades, like Aphrodite and Hypnos, who got full-on redesigns, and then revealed new characters, like the blacksmith Hephaestus, who have inspired their fair share of thirst.
