Hades 2 early access players can poke around to "find clues" about the roguelike sequel's coming updates.
Hades 2 Doesn't Let You Pause During The Final Boss Battle
09.05.2024 - 00:03 / thegamer.com
Hades 2's final boss battle has an unexpected easter egg that stops you from pausing the game, with an incantation even becoming available later that stops a certain big bad from messing with you.
One of the things that makes Supergiant stand out as a developer is how much attention to detail it hides in every nook and cranny of its games. Whether it's the narrator's reactions to what the player does in Bastion or how the different Greek gods respond to Zagreus in Hades, Supergiant's titles always have a ton of secrets to uncover, with some even taking years to be found.
As many of you are no-doubt experiencing for yourself now that Hades 2 is out in Early Access, Melinoe's adventures continue that trend, with lots of smaller details and interactions for players to find for themselves. As great as it is being able to bathe with your companions and turn Frinos into a warrior, the best is one that can only be found in the game's final boss battle.
Minor spoilers for an easter egg within Hades 2's final boss battle below.
Once you've finally figured out how to get past Cerberus without losing all of your Death Defiances, you'll find yourself in the final area of Hades 2's underworld run - Tartarus. This area will no doubt be familiar to anyone who played the first Hades, but it's very different now that it's been taken over by Chronos, the Titan of Time.
Melinoe's Underworld run always ends with a climatic battle against Chronos, who is one of the game's most difficult bosses as of the time of writing. His battle is a tough one that's sure to make your hands cramp at one point or another, so it's likely you're going to want to pause at some point to regain your focus.
Well, good luck with that one. As you can see in the video above from YouTuber Faz Faz, pausing during the final boss battle of Hades 2's Underworld run will cause Chronos, the Titan of Time, to laugh in your face and instantly unpause the game, something he'll keep doing no matter how many times you try.
The little monologue that Chronos has when he unpauses your game at least counts as a little break, right?
Although it's a very fun little joke for Hades 2 and a great easter egg, Faz Faz's video shows that there is actually a way to stop Chronos from pausing your game. If you unlock the "Power To Pause And Reflect" incantation after fighting Chronos, you'll be able to stop him from unpausing your game, which leads to some funny interactions.
One such interaction even has Chronos acknowledging that the game is probably being paused to give the player a bathroom break. Although that probably doesn't make up for how many runs are going to be ruined by Chronos' little joke in the first place, it's definitely one of the best

Hades 2 will change your "dash" and "sprint" abilities in its first patch
Greek god pulverizing simulator Hades 2 is getting its first patch "later this month", say the developers. Two things are on their to-tweak list. First, something might change about the way resource gathering tools are used (the pickaxe you use to mine silver during a run, for example). Second, and perhaps more significant, is an upcoming change to the way Melinoë's dash and sprint work. We don't know exactly what that change is but, according to Supergiant, it has something to do with your witchy batterer's "distinct style".

Hades 2 Passes Major Player Milestone in Less Than 24 Hours
Less than 24 hours after launching on Steam, the early access version of Hades 2 has already doubled the all-time peak concurrent player account set by the original Hades.
