lots of familiar faces popping up in the new conflict with some hot new drip
but they all pale in comparison to one returning cast member.
THE MAN
THE MYTH
THE PUNCHING BAG
SKELLY!!!!

ok i really love how a lot of the character redesigns in hades 2 are clearly a direct nod to what the gods are experiencing with the war against the titans in the game
like demeter is in full battle armor, her daughter is unreachable in the underworld and she is not messing around. she is ready for battle.
aphrodite wears war paint/makeup that directly mimics that of ares’s war paint/makeup in the first game.
the one i find the most interesting though is chaos. their redesign has them looking much more human. which some may think is odd considering they are essentially an extra planar being of creation. but i think it makes perfect sense. nyx who is their child, is one of the deities who is unreachable in the underworld. and as we know from the events of the first game, there’s a whole quest on the fated list that involves fixing the relationship between nyx and chaos. the fact that nyx is unreachable is most likely taking a toll on chaos, which in turn is making them feel more “human”/mortal thus causing them to present to appear more human. it makes sense if you think about it
i could go on and on about the new character designs and how they’re indicative to the war with the titians but these are the ones that have stuck out the most to me
edit; i am choosing to ignore the fact that chaos’s new design does look a lot like meg bc if it does mean anything i want to see it play out in the game without trying to theorize about it too much

Thinking about how Demeter's boons would mostly slow people down in first Hades game, because her anger and grief were lasting for a long time and mostly affected mortal world. But in Hades II her anger is FRESH, her family that was finally revealed was STOLEN from her and now her boons completely freeze enemies because her power is unleashed unto her enemies. And also surface is not frozen so yeah

Okay so recap so far
I have beat Hecate and immediately died in the next area(no spoilers here enjoy)
Did some gardening
Got a lot my ass handed to me so so so many times that if I was streaming this game people would be donating to try and get me to stop playing (I still love playing even though I am so bad at it!)
Got so many bones. So so so many bones.
Given nectar to (in order):
The best friend that stole your keys, made a copy, breaks into your house to eat all your food and hide 300 tiny ghost figurines, my gal Dora
The sweetest person yall ever meet, and a horse girl to boot, Silver Sister Selene. And gods she is beautiful like I wow!
The baddest bitch to exist, who swings into save the day(and steal your heart) and the third member of the Silver Sisters, Artemis
The teacher that doesn’t want you to call her mum but she is mum 2, the abs of diamond herself, Hecete
My scary but sweet and stabby inclined Grandmother, Demeter (she’s gunna go feral if she doesn’t get some daughter and grandkids time)
My sweet sleepy boi, the best napper, the one doing his most-est and having the best nap, Hypnos (he sleeply started doing his welcome to intro and I almost sobbed I love him)
The girl that says and does want to kill but is forcible paired with you on a school trip and is now responsible for your dumbass (and is very likely a sweetie under all that armour… hopefully) Nemesis
The sad sweet boi who is so respectful, put together and dignified while you stand next to him bruised and battered and covered in dirt and blood, as you two giggle and talk gardening, Moros
Gave cuddles to my frogy boy and my second mum’s cat and dog
All in all a good 3+ hours
