That light flickered dimly inside her now, slowly dying, rotting as the male was.īut it had shone brightly when she had seen her eldest brother, had nearly blinded her when their eyes had met, and she foolishly clung to it as the dead male had clung to his thoughts of surviving. She had no control over her life, no freedom, nothing. She wasn’t even sure she would call it existing, but it was the closest she could come to how it felt.
She hadn’t yelled at them to stop, had only watched in silent numbness as they had spilled his blood, as he had desperately clung to life, fighting to survive.Ī wry smile twisted her lips as she stared at his corpse. She remembered the last one who had died, how he had screamed when they had come to torture him, how they had gone too far. She stared at the other cages that hung from the arching ceiling between great spears of onyx rock.Īt the skeletons they contained, some only bones now while others were still rotting. The oval cage swung again, and she cursed as it turned, spinning her so she was facing away from the bluff. They would pay for abandoning her to the wretches who still held her now. Once they were dead, she would go after her family. She knew only a burning need to avenge her twin by hunting down the ones who had killed him, a mission of justice she would follow with another once she had completed it. Though it had been an eternity since she had seen him, she had recognised him instantly, had felt a soul-deep connection to him that had brought tears to her eyes for the first time in as long as she could remember. Her gaze strayed to the bluff of black rock that jutted out high on the wall of the enormous cavern, a ledge that had tantalised her from the moment she had witnessed him standing there what felt like aeons ago now.
She pressed her blackened bare feet to the thick bars that curved beneath her and carefully shuffled as she gripped another bar with her left hand, moving to face a different direction. The rusty iron cage swung slightly as she moved, the heavy chain above her creaking as it swayed.

Armed with only a description of the location of her prison seen in a vision by her oldest brother, Thanatos has spent four years hunting for her, determined to complete his task and save her.īut when he locates Calindria, she’s not the delicate little girl he remembers-she’s a fierce, bewitching and beautiful warrioress who stirs unwanted feelings in his black heart and she’s on a mission of her own.Ĭalindria, daughter of Hades, has a mission: escape her prison, hunt down the ones who murdered her twin brother, and then make her family pay for abandoning her. Murdered six centuries ago and her soul captured before it could pass on, she now falls under Thanatos’s domain. The phrase's origins can be traced back to ancient Greek theatre wherein actors playing as gods could be brought onto the stage via a machine to resolve a conflict.Thanatos, god of death, has a mission: scour the unknown realms of the Underworld and retrieve the only daughter of his god-king, Hades. Deus ex machina typically refers to a plot device that abruptly resolves a plot situation through an unlikely occurrence. Activating God Mode will give Zagreus a buff called Deus Ex Machina.Transferring your save from Steam to Switch will turn off God Mode. However, God Mode run records are stored separately from non-God Mode runs. Using God Mode will not lock players out of Achievements or content. When turned off, the player will lose the damage resistance, but retain any percentage gained until God Mode is turned on again.
This mode may be turned on and off via the options menu at any point without consequence. This mode was added to make the game more accessible, as well as to give players a way to experience the story of Hades more quickly if they wish. God Mode grants 20% damage resistance, increasing by 2% each time a run ends in death (rather than escape). God Mode is a difficulty option that can be toggled at any time from the menu on a non- Hell Mode file.
Try this if you find you're struggling, want focus on the story, or any reason. Death is not a big deal in the underworld. Instantly makes you tougher, more so whenever you die.
