Unlike the original , Hades 2’s storyline spans two huge worlds at once – the Underworld and the Surface, connected by a game hub, the Crossroads. In this guide, we’ll cover the Underworld, which spans locations such as Erebus, Oceanus, Fields of Sorrow, and Tartarus. Each of them features mini-bosses and story bosses, including Hecate, Scylla and the Sirens, Hell’s Cerberus, and the Time Lord Kronos.
The game is currently in early access. Although you can ultimately defeat Kronos, our heroine will die when trying to leave Tartarus. Apparently, you need to perform some specific actions on the Surface to have the opportunity to stop Kronos once and for all. But there are only two regions available on the Surface, and you won’t be able to get to Olympus until version 1.0 is released.
