We still use daedalus hammers for weapon specific upgrades. Perhaps Hephaestus will have boons that interact with the hammer rewards like we had for other room reward upgrades. Maybe he has a boon similar to rare crop/sunken treasure were it acts like the anvil of fates, you sacrifice one of your current hammer upgrades in exchange for another, with higher rarity giving multiple randon upgrades in exchange of only 1.

They probably ran out of either time or other resources. However it can be also explained with lore: Hephaestus does not like to mingle with other gods, as the ugly one. He prefers to be alone with his workshop. So he is pretty unlekily to help a child joining a party/social event

⁠@@HelloOnepieceThat’s precisely it. He didn’t want to meddle in godly affairs too much, almost as fed up with his family’s posturing as Persephone was. He’s probably have left too, if not for Aphrodite actually loving him in this iteration of the character. And for what it’s worth, he IS regretful he didn’t pitch in; I can only guess he got to know Zag after the fact, and quite liked the young lad.

I love how Demeter remarked how pissed she was with Hecate for not telling her about Melinoe. In the myth when Demeter went on a search for Persephone after her kidnapping, Hecate offers her some light from her torch so that Demeter can continue with her search when night falls.

My biggest surprised playing the first game, which I just started doing last week, is how polite Zagreus is with everyone who isn't his father. Judging by his design alone I thought he was going to be waaay more sarcastic and snarky, arrogant and swagger but from the very first time I heard him calling Sisyphus "sir" I was so pleasantly surprised.

From what I understand- he was frozen in Stasis with a chunk of the household, As Chronos did not wish to 'involve' them. While a bit of a cop-out in my opinion, we have to remember that Zagreus's experience was trying to find ways to keep shades from breaking out and keep mortals fearing death, A titan that encompasses time, even with all the boons Zagreus has gained, would be too far outside his repertoire. Also, If I saw the scene correctly, he was stretched out with titan-slaying blade in hand, so he likely went down swinging.

Well, after Hephaestus & Aphrodite got their divorce finalized, the guy got hitched almost inmediatly with one of the three graces, with whom he actually had a happy marriage and even had children. So depending on which era we're talking about, Hephaestus will be either pining and/or desiring Aphrodite (it was never known wheter he actually liked her or it was a simple show of power), being horrendously married with her or being amicable exes... since the guy did go and snatch her servant almost immediatly after the divorce only to actually have the happy marriage that the goddess of love couldn't have.

The only thing I didn’t like was the original death jingle wasn’t used, unless that particular jingle is meant to represent Chronos like the other one with Hades. I’m also hoping that after the true ending, your family will at least hang around like Persephone in the first game, but how that would work into the story while still making Chronos a boss to revisit is hard to say.

Hades II is officially Lore Olimpus fan fiction.

There are a few things the Devs could do so it feels like a sequel and not a 1.5; enemy combat design needs a bump up (they need to be doing more than just chasing us), more environmental interactivity (they can't all be bombs), and less blatant lore drops would be nice (like the intros are so stiff). I hope the test reveals points of improvement for them.
