Zagreus' Journey is a mod for Hades II that adds the original route Zagreus took through Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium and the Temple of Styx in the first game to the sequel.
Escape the Underworld as Melinoë, battle familiar foes and bosses using her unique abilities and weapons, meet Zagreus' old friends, and reconnect with your family's past.
After installing the mod, a Chaos Gate will appear in the Crossroads, which will allow you to experience Zagreus' journey through the Underworld as Melinoë.
It is highly recommended to complete the true ending of Hades before playing with this mod, as not all story events are included.
Installation
In order to use this mod you must have Hades installed on your system at all times when playing Hades II. The mod will not work without it. If you have Hades and Hades II installed in different parent folders, please refer to the Configuration wiki page for instructions on how to ensure the mod can discover your Hades installation.
You can install this mod just like any other Hades II mod available on Thunderstore, the recommended mod manager is r2modman. Starting the game the first time with the mod enabled will install a number of files. This may take some time depending on your hardware, and the game will display a black screen during this time. You can follow along the installation progress in the console window that opens when playing the game modded.
If the mod was installed successfully, a popup will open in the Training Grounds to let you know.
This mod requires an additional 1GB of disk space.
If you would like more information, refer to the Installation wiki page.
Before removing the mod from r2modman, you must first uninstall it through the uninstall configuration setting, to prevent any issues with leftover files.
Only uninstall the mod while in the Crossroads to prevent issues.
Configuration
If you have Hades and Hades II installed in the same folder, you should not need to change any configuration options.
You can find an explanation of all options on this wiki page.
