…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Narrator : Prince Zagreus, son of Hades – God of the Dead and ruler of the Underworld, has embarked on a mission to escape the Underworld to the surface.
What started as a personal affair with his father and a personal will to breath fresh air from the surface turned into a dedicated mission as he discovered that his very own mother was alive and living on the surface !
After the first initial escape in which Zagreus met up with her, he suddenly started to understand many circles in his life that were still very much opened thus far.
Unfortunately…….each time Zagreus manages to escape and meet his mother for a chat, the Styx grant him only but a moment to exchange a few words with his mother on her cabin before he gets engulfed and taken aback to the underworld.
Determined to keep visiting his mother despite the ordeal and in order to understand why she was missing from his life, he keeps on going.
Hades, being unpleased by his sons rampage, decides to punish him by a “Pact of Punisment” in which Zagreus will need to sign in order to grow stronger on his expedition.
Once came a time where Zagreus pact option became increasingly intense that he had to resort to….. other punishment options that he did not know the consequences of…..
Meanwhile, Zagreus is preparing for yet another escape attempt.
Zagreus : “Hmm…..which pact should I choose this time…….what’s this? Extreme Measures?”
Narrator : reading through the pact, Zagreus understood it meant that each underworld boss will be significantly stronger with new weapons at thier disposal………including the last one that so happens to be his very own father !
Zagreus : “How hard can it be? let’s go ! ”
Narrator: And thus Zagreus began yet another escape attempt, with the thought of the pact in his mind……
…….Time goes by…………..
After fighting the Fury sisters, vanquishing the Hydra, beating Theseus and Asterius and braving through the Satyr tunnels, he finally arrives to his final showdown…..
Opening the gates to the surface, Zagreus Green and Red eyes spot a figure in Golden-Red armor, this figure was also the final obstacle to his mothers cabin….
Thus the two begin a dialog :
Zagrues : “Think you can beat me this time, Father?”
Hades : “I was reviewing the terms of the Pact of Punishment to which you are bound.
Even when my servants resort to extreme measures, they were still unable to surpass you then.
So now…..it is my turn !”
Zagrues : “Caught you unprepared, did I? After Theseus and his Macedonian, I half-expected to see you thundering around by some golden chariot of your own, drawn by sable steeds, that sort of thing
But……it’s just you…..”
Hades : “It is just me indeed.
However…that should be more than necassary here.
No holding back this time Zagrues, are you ready?”
Zagrues : “Let’s go !!”
Thus the two begin yet another brawl of darkness and blood.
After exchanging countless blows, Zagrues manages to down his father twice but not before suffering a few himself, as Hades falls for the second time, Zagrues expects him to vanish back to the underwrold as would normally happen, however…….
Hades : ” Urgh….no…….I am not……finished……with you……..yet!!!”
Narrator : and thus to Zagrues complete surprise, his father once again regains his balance and is fired with a fighting spirit he has never yet seen.
Hades : “I can still fight !!”
Zagrues : “Are you serious?!”
Hades : “DARKNESS !”
Narrator : Hades vanishes once more and engulfes the entire region in darkness, which hinders Zagrues abillity to see and regains his whereabouts……….
Just then, Zagrues remembered that he carried his father’s keepsake sigil, one which allowed him to use his father’s powers himself !
Zagrues : “Two can play at that game………DARKNESS ! ”
And thus, both Hades and Zagrues vanished from the view of the naked eye, off to the final and decisive showdown of Blood and Darkness……….such is the familly……of The Unseen Ones.

At long last I am happy to present you all one of the most pumping OSTs from the Hades soundtrack !
To make it more convenient, this map includes two mods to spice up the things !
In standard mode, you will be playing from Zagrues POV !
Help him beat and survive his fathers endless blows so he might see his mother once more !
Or…..if you wish to take a different approach.
In One Saber mode you will infuse you sword with the power of darkness and take on the POV of no less than Hades himself !
Show your son you can still best him in combat !
