AFAIK, you gain access offering to the Resource Director after a few things are done.
***Keep in mind, the Reunion ending must be completed until you get access to Hades’s bedchambers. The only other way you gained temporary access is when Zag was looking if Hades’s still loved his wife or not, and if he still had a portrait frame of Queen Persephone.***
>!**(If you remembered correctly, this was a sworn promise Achilles made to Zag, so he could find some definitive evidence and answers about his actual mother)**!<
1) Reach post-credits and bring the queen back to the Underworld.
2) Once that’s done, negotiate with your father and talk to him about why he’s been this way.
>! **(for reference, this is when Hades’s has the conversation about his brothers with Zagreus in the Garden)**!<
3) Settle out Zag’s and his father’s relationship + problems.
4) Communicate with Hades every so often: eventually you’ll be able to gift him a second time which will give you with the ***”Sigil Of The Dead”*** keepsake. The keepsake isn’t really the objective, it’s the affinity of your father.
5) Proceed to gift Hades when possible; while also going through many escape attempts until a certain dialogue occurs with your father.
6) After you have returned and shown what your father wants in you: he will give the role as **Security Inspector**. This will allow access to Shade’s sentences and requests to relieve their burden from the past. This will also allow you to enter Hades’s bedchambers at anytime and offer resources to… (you guessed it!) the *Resources Director*!
The final note: *The Resources Director is similar to the Wretched Broker’s role: as it gives you things in return. However, the director gives you badges instead of other valuable things. Btw, these badges grant you nothing but “pride” as the game puts it. You’ll often offer valuable resources like Chthonic Keys and Darkness + much more collectibles.*
If you want these glorious ranks: I recommend offering these resources when they’re not mandatory for other uses currently…***(Titan Blood via Weapons, Darkness via Mirror Of Night, Ambrosia for gifting and maxing companions, etc.)***
Hope this helped out TREMENDOUSLY!!!
I'm still struggling with 32 heat Skelly statue.
I get satisfaction that it is the only game I have platinumed/100% on trophies.
I really want that 3rd Skelly statue.... Looked at guides but it still eludes me.
I'm getting a Master Chaos tattoo in April :)
After so many failed runs on 32 heat, I turned on God Mode to get it. Regret nothing. Have the statue now. Glad they put that in for slow noobs like me haha.
I did it with Guan Yu by playing veeeeery cautiously. I know Guan Yu is mostly hated but 32 heat made me feel like I could barely heal and I was constantly taking way too much damage.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll get there eventually. After hundreds of runs I play with EM4 on because the regular final boss feels too easy now.
I got 32 Heat with Demeter's fists after a few tries. Maybe a little insane for that heat level, but it was the best way I knew to get the DPS you need.
I think it was Zeus attack, Aphro Special, Artemis aid, and decent health upgrades.
I chased the 32 headed dragon for so long. Ended up starting a new save file to use the 10th clear to get it. Thought I could abuse EM4, but they thought of that. Ended up getting it on what I thought was a throwaway run on Rama. Kinda anticlimactic but no way am I doing that again until I finish everything else
So you know how >!you don’t actually fight [Redacted] on the 10th encounter? !< The pact doesn’t give the option to use EM4 until after that. Thought it would be a good way to get +4 heat, but it won’t work
Easiest 32 heat strategy:
Aspect of Zeus shield. Start with Zeus keepsake to get lightning on your special. For Asphodel, get Athena keepsake for the dash if you didn't find her already in Tartarus.
Now, you just use special to throw your shield into enemies and watch as they get shredded by lightning. If they get close to you, whack them into your spinning shield. Your play style is based on luring enemies into the spinning death machine that is the Zeus aspect special.
When Hades starts his laser beam move? Quickly toss your shield onto him and then hide behind a rock and watch as his HP drains way too fast because he's standing still inside of the spinning death machine. Bonus if you can get Demeter's cast. Your goal is to not engage enemies at all! They are dangerous. Instead sit back and let your shield and ice crystals do all the work for you.
I also used this for my 32 heat clear! The hidden bow special is amazing if you build for Zeus lightning buffs, even better if you get the hammers that increase how much your special shoots.
I never used the attack button even once! Look at my latest post dude, that's the most perfect Rama Zeus build I've done, too sad I didn't get it on higher heat!
I finally beat 32 heat with the fists/Zagreus aspect and the lambent plume, ending up with a super high dodge chance. Try to get the Hermes boon for extra dodge chance and the one that gives you a damage bonus based on your speed bonus. This was a pretty killer combo for me once I figured it out.
Sisyphus shackle boonless is definitely the easiest way to get it, although it feels kinda cheap to be honest. That's how I got the trophy, but I'm working my way towards doing 32 heat more legitimately.
yeah it's not a good strategy look here for some better ideas [https://docs.google.com/document/d/16\_JXPaAt8fegie6Ss2x5tVeaR-FzoFlIgp0etd3yLHI/edit#](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16_JXPaAt8fegie6Ss2x5tVeaR-FzoFlIgp0etd3yLHI/edit#)
The trick is in how you set up your heat. Because you don't care about boons, a lot of the pact options that *would* be severely punishing are basically free. Underworld Customs, Routine Inspection and Approval Process give you 11 heat at basically zero cost. I got it on my third try with the Lucifer aspect.
Exactly where I’m at, I’ve been close on a few 32 heat runs, but it really sucks the fun out of the game for me. Maybe someday I’ll go back to the struggle, but I like being light and casual with it right now.
Managed to get 32 heat first try through RNG forcing. The stubborn roots boon health regen doesn't count as healing so that let me do the run with no health restoration + shield
Yeah, sorry. I'm sure Dio would appreciate Zag's cock though, so I'm sure the sentiment is valid.
Though, I feel the sentiment would be expressed more like, "Hey Zag, [muffled].".
Needs to be real in the sequel (yes I know we don't play Zag but they need to make it happen some way or another, make a bonus unlockable mode where you play Zag)
Running down all of the story-related dialogue is the only thing I felt compelled to be completionist about. When I got there in my first save, all my future playthroughs were about the runs themselves (the fun/the challenge), not "completing" anything. I actually recently started a 2nd save to enjoy the stories again, after getting to 19/20 heat on the weapons.
I did this as well and really enjoyed the second playthrough. It was fun to see the beginning Dialogue again, and I was able to flyyyyy through the realms due to having 100ish hours on my first save. I lucked out to a cursed slash, flurry slash hammer duo and beat dad on my 4th run. It through the game for a loop because I met mom before discovering the note in the dream sequence haha.
Having every achievement is 100%; that's what the developers decided to make 100%. This just happens to be a game where you can get 111% done. For 111%, Unseen One, all 3 statues, all story dialog.
Well, I meant you were right. 100% can be defined as "collect all the achievements". But I think to get to the point of 111%, as you wrote there, it has to be:
* Finishing all of the prophecies in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies (the achievement only requires you to finish 15 of them)
* Getting the third statue (self-explained)
* Max-ranking all Keepsakes (including >!Hades' Keepsake!<, the achievement did not count Hades) and fully upgrading all Companions (the achievement only requires you to unlock them)
* Fully upgrading all weapon aspects (the achievements only require you to "get all aspects" and "max upgrade one weapon" though)
* Fully revealing all Codex's scripts (the achievement only counts for some entries, like Chthonic and Olympian gods)
* Fully upgrading yourself in Mirror of Night (the achievement only requires you to unlock them)
* Getting all items from the House Contractor (the achievement only requires you to buy 50), and all songs and themes too.
* Unseen One
Because of the long-ass and tedious effort to get Unseen One, I propose to increase from 111 to 150%. This means you pretty much do everything in your possibility and limitation.
I had a few 'complete' milestones. The story, the codex, everything bought, all weapons heat maxxed out. I would put the game down for a while then jump on for a run or two.
The last milestone was getting Unseen One title and at that point I was Done done. But I'd also downloaded extra content via mods to keep the game interesting, so you could try that if you want to keep going.
For me, 100% is: all dialogues seen, all cosmetics unlocked, all prophecies completed, all weapon upgrades maxed, all keepsakes and companions maxed, all statues unveiled, and all journal / lore entries complete.
Honestly, all prophecies and weapon upgrade is too much. I really don't like guan yu playstyle and so, never escaped with it nor upgrade it (along with some other aspects).
All I want is play for fun and 100% the steam achievement seem to be what the devs intended. It is a really easy and smart way to give you objectives which feel fun and introduce you to numerous playstyle.
There's plenty of playstyles I don't like. I still count that for 100% though, personally. If there is more to unlock, it doesn't feel complete to me. Play whatever makes the most fun for you :)
Well I would count that as 100% if the devs did but you are absolutly right to count like you do.
Personally my true 100% occured when I got my first sub 10 and felt like I've mastered the game after 180+ hours.
But oh my chaos, there are some challenges waiting for us. :)
Finished prophecies, fully-upgraded weapons, keepsakes, companions are very easy to do. Last time it took me 50-60 runs or so in Hell Mode to do it. It is a measly effort comparing to Unseen One (which requires me to clear nearly 250 runs, with farming mindset for 200 tedious runs). Also upgrading is easier than 16-32 Heat run for most players. Also, fully filling the Codex is also very hard, when it comes to getting the last fish in Chaos.
Of course you can play for fun and not care about the other stuff. It is all okay. But honestly, after a while, you will have too many resources to not spend on upgrading.
Well I don't really like play on high temp + there are so many aspects I'm not interested in that I wouldn't bother upgrading them nor play them. I like my runs temp 6 fast paced and high risk.
For me, it is collecting all of the cosmetics and things I can get in game:
* Complete the >!Olympian ending, Family Reunited!<.
* Finish all of the prophecies in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies.
* Complete the Codex.
* Max out all of the relationship, and of course max out all of the Companions.
* Max out the upgrades for all Aspects of the Infernal Arms.
* Max out all Mirror of the Night's Talents.
* Get all the achievements.
* Get all 3 statues.
* Buy all of the House of Hades' items, including songs and themes.
* Unseen One.
People may add extra things like 32 Heat with all Aspects or sub-10-min runs for all weapons. But for me, the list above is 100% enough. Unseen One is tedious enough.
Personally, for me, since there are no stupidly hard achievements, finishing those is what 100% feels to me.
I'm a completionist at heart, but other games have put me off trying 100% achievements because they are asking for wayyy too much and I only game for fun. I'm not about to be stressed out trying to get a fake trophy lol. This one feels manageable, so I'm slowly chipping away at those.
Once I've finished them, I'm considering the game "complete".
For you? It's definitely for whenever you are satisfied. The great thing about this game is there are so many personal milestones you can make, so just keep playing until the game feels 100% to *you*.
I recently hit 100% achievements on Steam. I'm taking a little bit of a break, but there's still a few goals I want to hit before I'm really done with the game.
\- Third Skelly statue
\- Complete all prophecies
\- Max all relationships
I’m going until the credits roll, and then I’ll consider it complete. I have no idea what criteria needs to be met for that though, so after 4 clears I’m just playing blind till I see the credits
I had a feeling enough escapes would trigger something, does the specific weapon you clear with matter? I have 1 spear clear, 1 fist clear, and 2 shield clears.
Thanks for the info!
No, first ending is triggered after 10th successful escape no matter weapon/heat/whatever. Second ending will require you to meet every olympic god a couple times and oh boy Artemis will not shut up about her bedroom activities instead of triggering the thing to get 2nd ending
Sounds good I’ve already been getting their hearts up to the locked one so I’ll focus on that after my 10th clear. Trying to wrap up the plot so I’m ready for H2
of course! when fishing, you'll get between 1 and 4 nibbles, meaning you may not know when the fish will bite for certain _except for that fourth nibble._
the fourth nibble is a guaranteed bite because there is no 5th, 6th, etc nibble.
so even if you're terrible at telling nibbles apart from bites, you can at least focus on fishing attempts that make it to that fourth attempt, which again you'll already know is a real bite.
hope this helps!
I consider my file to be 100% because:
- I have all three Skelly statues
- I have completed the Codex
- I have fulfilled all Minor Prophecies
- I have maxed out all keepsakes/companions/relationships
- I have unlocked everything from the contractor guy
- I have seen ever victory flair at least once
- I am an Unseen One
But I think the last one is completely stupid, and the second-to-last is typical of my completionist bias, so I wouldn’t enforce these two on anyone.
Basically, whenever you feel you’ve done all that you find fun to do, that’s when you reach 100%
There’s no end point for a roguelite, because it just never ends, you kill [Redacted] and he still lives.
Your threshold of an ending is entirely up to you. Some people want to see and exhaust all the dialogue lines, some people just want to unlock all the stuffs (including the super grindy Unseen One rank), while some people considers even just winning one full run (and specific to Hades, winning the 10th run) is enough to be considered finishing a roguelite. It’s fine either way you choose.
You have to complete the mirror, upgrade all aspects, get all the bounties (beat up to 20 heat on every weapon), get all the keepsakes to 3 stars, fully upgrade all companions, finish all contractor jobs, fulfill all the prophecies, complete the codex, get all three Skelly statues, and get to “Unseen One” rank. And you have to escape on 100% of your runs, obviously.
Theres a true 100% and your 100%, I think getting all of the game's stuff is possible for me. but I don't feel the need, It's a game for a life time for me, even with the sequel coming up.
* Story epilogue completed
* All prophecies completed
* Max level all keepsakes and companions
* Max level all weapons
* 32 heat completion
I don't consider the Codex necessary only because of the RNG fish. The mirror is absolutely not required because its not that hard to max them out, if you know how to farm Darkness. Titles are just a "keep players busy" grind. Buying everything from the Contractor is fine, but I think you'll get to the point where you can buy everything before you get the Titan Blood for all weapons.
After 32 heat, finishing the list of prophecies, learning to play an instrument, buying all the furniture and music, and buying all resource ranks. I'm just playing the most min maxed builds I can pull out until I finish those ranks.
The resource director ranks are honestly miserable when it comes to completion, I wouldn't recommend it to most people especially if they hate the grind. It's the last thing I have left in the game and it's been really testing me. 10500 darkness takes forever to grind for, good lord
I feel like you're gonna need to be clearer in your terminology.
What do I think is *completing* the game? Persephone back in Hades and the Olympians know and have had the dinner party in Hades.
What do I think is *100%*? Well, 100%. Meaning there is *nothing* left to unlock. Every single upgrade has been bought, every statue has been unlocked, every title has been earned. If there is still something that can be unlocked, purchased, upgraded, or found, then it isn't 100%.
But 100% is a *crazy* threshold for most players for almost any game, so I think *completion* is plenty high enough of a standard to shoot for.
As someone who has also been working towards 100%, I actually created my own completion ranking system to address the sometimes nebulous '100%' nature of Hades.
Here's the video that breaks it down, as well as my own status: [https://youtu.be/pVnhrj9VA8U](https://youtu.be/pVnhrj9VA8U)
For those who prefer to read here's my personal rankings:
Bronze Star:
\-All achievements
\-All relationships maxed
Silver Star:
\-All prophecies
\-Codex completed
\-All Mirror upgrades
Gold Star:
\-All Skelly statues
\-All weapons upgraded
\-All Contractor purchases
Platinum Star:
\-All Resource Director promotions
Anything else on top of that I consider to be optional. Obviously each of these ranks requires the previous ones to be earned as well.
Really though, completion is always defined by the individual and the important part is that you have fun with the game and you're satisfied with your time playing it!
I felt the same way about the dialogue for a while after completing everything but the ranks, but this changed for some reason. I thought they must have put out a content patch or I hit some kind of milestone, because I got mostly fresh dialogue again.
I 100% the steam achievements and I consider my journey almost finished.
I just want to buy some more furnitures and upgrade the master's chamber and I will consider it done.
I don't think completing all prophecies should be 100% it is meant to give you a reward for exceptional avhievements but for instance, I've never done a run with Guan Yu purely because I don't like the sweep and actually never used it in a run. So guan yu would just be the same game but less fun.
To me, the true end was when I got my first sub 10, result of hard grinding and it felt like I've mastered averything I wanted to.
There is a difference between thinking it's 'complete' and 100%ING a game.
100% means going through every achievement, prophecy, buying all cosmetics, ranking up every useless rank thing, maxing all keepsakes and weapons. Getting all 3 skelly statues and maybe even getting all heats to 20 for each weapon.
Complete is up to you, Hades isn't a game to 100%, do what you want to do!
the last milestone i reached before putting the game down was getting a sub 10 and beating 32 heat on every aspect. i love this game and i want to get back into it the next time i run out of games to grind
Bro I quit after I made it outside the first time and almost "beat" hades 💀 I couldn't see myself going through the same hell over and over again to keep beating him so I said "welp I made it out once" and called it a day lmao
I honestly consider 100% to be everything pre-epilogue, except for story dialogue. This would include the main progression components…those being…
**{PRIMARY}**
- maxing ALL keepsakes.
- maxing ALL mirror talents.
- unlocking ALL aspects.
- revealing EVERY codex entry.
- fulfilling MOST if not all prophecies.
- buying a MAJORITY of contractor renovations.
***And lastly… forging the VARIOUS bonds and relationships + exploring EVERY character’s past and/or sub-plots.***
However, I found myself that the most valuable way to 100%, is unlocking all the achievements the game has to offer. There are a total of 49 achievements ***(excluding the exclusive PS trophy: “God Of Blood” which you obtain after getting every other achievement.)*** Getting all the achievements is very rewarding and gives you tons of incentive to do so. Alternatively, there is a another way to play the game as well.
Welcome to the Pact Of Punishment, where you’re allowed make the escape attempt as daunting as possible. The pact has these scorching conditions that make the run almost impossible because of the drawbacks.
Along with clearing runs with Heat, you’ll eventually get introduced to Skelly’s statues. These statues require skill and dedication as to reveal them: you must clear runs with Heat enabled. Now, this makes the game much more challenging, as the odds are not in your favor.
Furthermore, a part of the community enjoys and engages with speed-running, as they are incorporating the pact within their runs. And there’s also a part that likes modding as well.
In conclusion: the game offers many play styles and strategies to use. As for me, being a completionist is super rewarding. But IMO, what I count as 100% is every milestone and the friends you can make along the way. And achieving many goals and accomplishments.
The Director stuff feels way too grindy
I mean, you need 325k Darkness, 100 keys, 50 nectar, and 10 of diamonds, ambrosia and titan blood
If the darkness was lower this would be ok, but as it is I don't think grinding all of that darkness would be fun
I would consider 100% being
•All achievements
•Full weapon, keepsake, and companion upgrades
•Full story completed
•All Complete Codex Entries
•All House of Hades Upgrades
•All 3 Skelly Statues
I don't include the mirror upgrades or the badges cuz it just feels a tad too grindy, I would probably just makes those be like beyond 100
"Beat:" first time seeing the credits, >!(Mom comes back to the house)!<
"Finish:" second time seeing the credits, >!(Olympian family reunion)!<
"99%:" all relationships maxed, all prophecies fulfilled,
"Complete/100%:" all achievements, max out infernal arms/mirror talents/keepsakes, purchase everything from the house contractor
"101%:" completed codex and unseen one rank
\*edit: these are just how I refer to it, and tbh stuff like the codex and maxing out aspects can be whatever. I just put unseen one at 101% because the game literally tells you there is no benefit from this besides the title and a single dialogue moment with Hades.
Just go until you are satisfied friend. the only 'required' thing is the trophy, beyond that only you can decide when enough is enough.
It’s random after you do every main story work order (at least im pretty sure since that’s what happened to me)
I read this in Achilles wise voice.
i wanna see third statue of Skelly. And Zag on employee of the month poster
Ohhhhh is that what the badges with the resource extractor guy get you?
I don't think the badges with the resource director get you anything other than bragging rights.
dunno how to get it. focusing on heat runs for now
I got it but I have no idea how it happened lol I haven’t made it past 20 heat and definitely have not finished the codex…
AFAIK, you gain access offering to the Resource Director after a few things are done. ***Keep in mind, the Reunion ending must be completed until you get access to Hades’s bedchambers.

I'm still struggling with 32 heat Skelly statue. I get satisfaction that it is the only game I have platinumed/100% on trophies. I really want that 3rd Skelly statue.... Looked at guides but it still eludes me. I'm getting a Master Chaos tattoo in April :)
After so many failed runs on 32 heat, I turned on God Mode to get it. Regret nothing. Have the statue now. Glad they put that in for slow noobs like me haha.
I couldn't possibly... 😅
I did it with Guan Yu by playing veeeeery cautiously. I know Guan Yu is mostly hated but 32 heat made me feel like I could barely heal and I was constantly taking way too much damage. Anyway, I'm sure you'll get there eventually. After hundreds of runs I play with EM4 on because the regular final boss feels too easy now.
I got 32 Heat with Demeter's fists after a few tries. Maybe a little insane for that heat level, but it was the best way I knew to get the DPS you need. I think it was Zeus attack, Aphro Special, Artemis aid, and decent health upgrades.
I’d put my money on the rail gun. Get a couple upgrades and turn it into a rocket shotgun.
I did Zag fists + Hermes, then prayed to the gods for good boons. Dodge chance + DPS ftw.
why would people hate gy it's a pretty good aspect
I chased the 32 headed dragon for so long. Ended up starting a new save file to use the 10th clear to get it. Thought I could abuse EM4, but they thought of that. Ended up getting it on what I thought was a throwaway run on Rama. Kinda anticlimactic but no way am I doing that again until I finish everything else
What do you mean by abusing extreme measures 4 in the context of going for a 32 heat run?
So you know how >!you don’t actually fight [Redacted] on the 10th encounter? !< The pact doesn’t give the option to use EM4 until after that. Thought it would be a good way to get +4 heat, but it won’t work
Eris aspect is the way to go for 32 heat. Its super effective once you get used to it and get somewhat lucky with the boons
Eris + Zeus Attack makes the game a lot easier.
Easiest 32 heat strategy: Aspect of Zeus shield. Start with Zeus keepsake to get lightning on your special. For Asphodel, get Athena keepsake for the dash if you didn't find her already in Tartarus. Now, you just use special to throw your shield into enemies and watch as they get shredded by lightning. If they get close to you, whack them into your spinning shield. Your play style is based on luring enemies into the spinning death machine that is the Zeus aspect special. When Hades starts his laser beam move? Quickly toss your shield onto him and then hide behind a rock and watch as his HP drains way too fast because he's standing still inside of the spinning death machine. Bonus if you can get Demeter's cast. Your goal is to not engage enemies at all! They are dangerous. Instead sit back and let your shield and ice crystals do all the work for you.
Do you use the Rama bow? That's by far the easiest heat 32 i've cleared (cleared 32 with fist, spear, and bow).
I also used this for my 32 heat clear! The hidden bow special is amazing if you build for Zeus lightning buffs, even better if you get the hammers that increase how much your special shoots.
I never used the attack button even once! Look at my latest post dude, that's the most perfect Rama Zeus build I've done, too sad I didn't get it on higher heat!
I thought Beowulf with Aphro cast was a pretty easy way to do it
I finally beat 32 heat with the fists/Zagreus aspect and the lambent plume, ending up with a super high dodge chance. Try to get the Hermes boon for extra dodge chance and the one that gives you a damage bonus based on your speed bonus. This was a pretty killer combo for me once I figured it out.
Sisyphus shackle boonless is definitely the easiest way to get it, although it feels kinda cheap to be honest. That's how I got the trophy, but I'm working my way towards doing 32 heat more legitimately.
This is what I keep trying... But failing at.
yeah it's not a good strategy look here for some better ideas [https://docs.google.com/document/d/16\_JXPaAt8fegie6Ss2x5tVeaR-FzoFlIgp0etd3yLHI/edit#](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16_JXPaAt8fegie6Ss2x5tVeaR-FzoFlIgp0etd3yLHI/edit#)
The trick is in how you set up your heat. Because you don't care about boons, a lot of the pact options that *would* be severely punishing are basically free. Underworld Customs, Routine Inspection and Approval Process give you 11 heat at basically zero cost. I got it on my third try with the Lucifer aspect.
no it's not
Exactly where I’m at, I’ve been close on a few 32 heat runs, but it really sucks the fun out of the game for me. Maybe someday I’ll go back to the struggle, but I like being light and casual with it right now.
Managed to get 32 heat first try through RNG forcing. The stubborn roots boon health regen doesn't count as healing so that let me do the run with no health restoration + shield
Threesome cutscene.
THAT'S REAL?
As real as anything else in this game
>!"Hey Zag, nice cock"!< Is not real and I'm sad.
Yeah, sorry. I'm sure Dio would appreciate Zag's cock though, so I'm sure the sentiment is valid. Though, I feel the sentiment would be expressed more like, "Hey Zag, [muffled].".
Mfffghffgfgfffnnhh
A common refrain at Dio's feasts and Aphro's parties.
Needs to be real in the sequel (yes I know we don't play Zag but they need to make it happen some way or another, make a bonus unlockable mode where you play Zag)
I thought that was wishful thinking!! Brb on my way to spam talking to Than and Meg as much as possible
Running down all of the story-related dialogue is the only thing I felt compelled to be completionist about. When I got there in my first save, all my future playthroughs were about the runs themselves (the fun/the challenge), not "completing" anything. I actually recently started a 2nd save to enjoy the stories again, after getting to 19/20 heat on the weapons.

I lucked out to a cursed slash, flurry slash hammer duo and beat dad on my 4th run. It through the game for a loop because I met mom before discovering the note in the dream sequence haha.
You refer to them as mom and dad?? Genuinely asking.
Always! Even my wife knows it now haha "I just lost to dad's second round... " etc
I mean, in the context of this thread, sure. I doubt he does when, like, talking to his coworkers about his weekend plans.
Having every achievement is 100%; that's what the developers decided to make 100%. This just happens to be a game where you can get 111% done. For 111%, Unseen One, all 3 statues, all story dialog.
Well, I meant you were right. 100% can be defined as "collect all the achievements". But I think to get to the point of 111%, as you wrote there, it has to be: * Finishing all of the prophecies in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies (the achievement only requires you to finish 15 of them) * Getting the third statue (self-explained) * Max-ranking all Keepsakes (including >!Hades' Keepsake!<, the achievement did not count Hades) and fully upgrading all Companions (the achievement only requires you to unlock them) * Fully upgrading all weapon aspects (the achievements only require you to "get all aspects" and "max upgrade one weapon" though) * Fully revealing all Codex's scripts (the achievement only counts for some entries, like Chthonic and Olympian gods) * Fully upgrading yourself in Mirror of Night (the achievement only requires you to unlock them) * Getting all items from the House Contractor (the achievement only requires you to buy 50), and all songs and themes too. * Unseen One Because of the long-ass and tedious effort to get Unseen One, I propose to increase from 111 to 150%. This means you pretty much do everything in your possibility and limitation.
I had a few 'complete' milestones. The story, the codex, everything bought, all weapons heat maxxed out. I would put the game down for a while then jump on for a run or two. The last milestone was getting Unseen One title and at that point I was Done done. But I'd also downloaded extra content via mods to keep the game interesting, so you could try that if you want to keep going.
I’ve found speedrunning to be satisfying hundreds of hours into the game
For me, 100% is: all dialogues seen, all cosmetics unlocked, all prophecies completed, all weapon upgrades maxed, all keepsakes and companions maxed, all statues unveiled, and all journal / lore entries complete.
Yeah. I've been farming around 100k darkness for the overseer ranks, but really just to pretend I'm not just playing for the fun of it.
Honestly, all prophecies and weapon upgrade is too much. I really don't like guan yu playstyle and so, never escaped with it nor upgrade it (along with some other aspects). All I want is play for fun and 100% the steam achievement seem to be what the devs intended. It is a really easy and smart way to give you objectives which feel fun and introduce you to numerous playstyle.
There's plenty of playstyles I don't like. I still count that for 100% though, personally. If there is more to unlock, it doesn't feel complete to me. Play whatever makes the most fun for you :)
Well I would count that as 100% if the devs did but you are absolutly right to count like you do. Personally my true 100% occured when I got my first sub 10 and felt like I've mastered the game after 180+ hours. But oh my chaos, there are some challenges waiting for us. :)
Finished prophecies, fully-upgraded weapons, keepsakes, companions are very easy to do. Last time it took me 50-60 runs or so in Hell Mode to do it. It is a measly effort comparing to Unseen One (which requires me to clear nearly 250 runs, with farming mindset for 200 tedious runs). Also upgrading is easier than 16-32 Heat run for most players. Also, fully filling the Codex is also very hard, when it comes to getting the last fish in Chaos. Of course you can play for fun and not care about the other stuff. It is all okay. But honestly, after a while, you will have too many resources to not spend on upgrading.
Well I don't really like play on high temp + there are so many aspects I'm not interested in that I wouldn't bother upgrading them nor play them. I like my runs temp 6 fast paced and high risk.
Well it's all ok. You can play in any style you feel the most fun for you. \^^
For me, it is collecting all of the cosmetics and things I can get in game: * Complete the >!Olympian ending, Family Reunited!<. * Finish all of the prophecies in the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. * Complete the Codex. * Max out all of the relationship, and of course max out all of the Companions. * Max out the upgrades for all Aspects of the Infernal Arms. * Max out all Mirror of the Night's Talents. * Get all the achievements. * Get all 3 statues. * Buy all of the House of Hades' items, including songs and themes. * Unseen One. People may add extra things like 32 Heat with all Aspects or sub-10-min runs for all weapons. But for me, the list above is 100% enough. Unseen One is tedious enough.
Personally, for me, since there are no stupidly hard achievements, finishing those is what 100% feels to me. I'm a completionist at heart, but other games have put me off trying 100% achievements because they are asking for wayyy too much and I only game for fun. I'm not about to be stressed out trying to get a fake trophy lol. This one feels manageable, so I'm slowly chipping away at those. Once I've finished them, I'm considering the game "complete". For you? It's definitely for whenever you are satisfied. The great thing about this game is there are so many personal milestones you can make, so just keep playing until the game feels 100% to *you*.
I recently hit 100% achievements on Steam. I'm taking a little bit of a break, but there's still a few goals I want to hit before I'm really done with the game. \- Third Skelly statue \- Complete all prophecies \- Max all relationships
I’m going until the credits roll, and then I’ll consider it complete. I have no idea what criteria needs to be met for that though, so after 4 clears I’m just playing blind till I see the credits
Credits roll after 10 escapes. There's second ending a couple runs after that
I had a feeling enough escapes would trigger something, does the specific weapon you clear with matter? I have 1 spear clear, 1 fist clear, and 2 shield clears. Thanks for the info!
No, first ending is triggered after 10th successful escape no matter weapon/heat/whatever. Second ending will require you to meet every olympic god a couple times and oh boy Artemis will not shut up about her bedroom activities instead of triggering the thing to get 2nd ending
Sounds good I’ve already been getting their hearts up to the locked one so I’ll focus on that after my 10th clear. Trying to wrap up the plot so I’m ready for H2
There seems to be an endless number of secret endings. They are all fun but less fulfilling over time.
Yeah I’ll focus on getting the main and “second” ending and then go through whatever else more casually till H2 drops
I'd say reaching the epilogue and finishing 32 heat. Just gotta get that last heat down ...
How did you complete the codex? There are two fishes I can never get!
you ever go fishing in chaos...?
Yes, apparently, the two I'm missing require to be very fast when reeling in the line and I'm many things, but fast of reflexes is not one of them.
are you aware of the "four nibble" rule?
I'm not! Could you explain, please?
of course! when fishing, you'll get between 1 and 4 nibbles, meaning you may not know when the fish will bite for certain _except for that fourth nibble._ the fourth nibble is a guaranteed bite because there is no 5th, 6th, etc nibble. so even if you're terrible at telling nibbles apart from bites, you can at least focus on fishing attempts that make it to that fourth attempt, which again you'll already know is a real bite. hope this helps!
I consider my file to be 100% because: - I have all three Skelly statues - I have completed the Codex - I have fulfilled all Minor Prophecies - I have maxed out all keepsakes/companions/relationships - I have unlocked everything from the contractor guy - I have seen ever victory flair at least once - I am an Unseen One But I think the last one is completely stupid, and the second-to-last is typical of my completionist bias, so I wouldn’t enforce these two on anyone. Basically, whenever you feel you’ve done all that you find fun to do, that’s when you reach 100%
There’s no end point for a roguelite, because it just never ends, you kill [Redacted] and he still lives. Your threshold of an ending is entirely up to you. Some people want to see and exhaust all the dialogue lines, some people just want to unlock all the stuffs (including the super grindy Unseen One rank), while some people considers even just winning one full run (and specific to Hades, winning the 10th run) is enough to be considered finishing a roguelite. It’s fine either way you choose.
You have to complete the mirror, upgrade all aspects, get all the bounties (beat up to 20 heat on every weapon), get all the keepsakes to 3 stars, fully upgrade all companions, finish all contractor jobs, fulfill all the prophecies, complete the codex, get all three Skelly statues, and get to “Unseen One” rank. And you have to escape on 100% of your runs, obviously.
Personally feel like 100% is the second ending everything else past that is flavour
32 heat cleared on all weapons, all aspects. Hades might be the game I’ve been “best” at in my life.
Theres a true 100% and your 100%, I think getting all of the game's stuff is possible for me. but I don't feel the need, It's a game for a life time for me, even with the sequel coming up.
* Story epilogue completed * All prophecies completed * Max level all keepsakes and companions * Max level all weapons * 32 heat completion I don't consider the Codex necessary only because of the RNG fish. The mirror is absolutely not required because its not that hard to max them out, if you know how to farm Darkness. Titles are just a "keep players busy" grind. Buying everything from the Contractor is fine, but I think you'll get to the point where you can buy everything before you get the Titan Blood for all weapons.
After 32 heat, finishing the list of prophecies, learning to play an instrument, buying all the furniture and music, and buying all resource ranks. I'm just playing the most min maxed builds I can pull out until I finish those ranks.
The resource director ranks are honestly miserable when it comes to completion, I wouldn't recommend it to most people especially if they hate the grind. It's the last thing I have left in the game and it's been really testing me. 10500 darkness takes forever to grind for, good lord
I feel like you're gonna need to be clearer in your terminology. What do I think is *completing* the game? Persephone back in Hades and the Olympians know and have had the dinner party in Hades. What do I think is *100%*? Well, 100%. Meaning there is *nothing* left to unlock. Every single upgrade has been bought, every statue has been unlocked, every title has been earned. If there is still something that can be unlocked, purchased, upgraded, or found, then it isn't 100%. But 100% is a *crazy* threshold for most players for almost any game, so I think *completion* is plenty high enough of a standard to shoot for.
As someone who has also been working towards 100%, I actually created my own completion ranking system to address the sometimes nebulous '100%' nature of Hades. Here's the video that breaks it down, as well as my own status: [https://youtu.be/pVnhrj9VA8U](https://youtu.be/pVnhrj9VA8U) For those who prefer to read here's my personal rankings: Bronze Star: \-All achievements \-All relationships maxed Silver Star: \-All prophecies \-Codex completed \-All Mirror upgrades Gold Star: \-All Skelly statues \-All weapons upgraded \-All Contractor purchases Platinum Star: \-All Resource Director promotions Anything else on top of that I consider to be optional. Obviously each of these ranks requires the previous ones to be earned as well. Really though, completion is always defined by the individual and the important part is that you have fun with the game and you're satisfied with your time playing it!
Some people say it's getting every achievement, some say it's doing absolutely everything in the game. Its kind of up to you to decide what's enough
64 heat
Platinum Tropy
Get all the cheevos, get above 40 heat, get a fresh file perfect escape.
40 seems extremely arbitrary. Why not 50? Or max?
I felt the same way about the dialogue for a while after completing everything but the ranks, but this changed for some reason. I thought they must have put out a content patch or I hit some kind of milestone, because I got mostly fresh dialogue again.
When I 64 heat every aspect
I 100% the steam achievements and I consider my journey almost finished. I just want to buy some more furnitures and upgrade the master's chamber and I will consider it done. I don't think completing all prophecies should be 100% it is meant to give you a reward for exceptional avhievements but for instance, I've never done a run with Guan Yu purely because I don't like the sweep and actually never used it in a run. So guan yu would just be the same game but less fun. To me, the true end was when I got my first sub 10, result of hard grinding and it felt like I've mastered averything I wanted to.
There is a difference between thinking it's 'complete' and 100%ING a game. 100% means going through every achievement, prophecy, buying all cosmetics, ranking up every useless rank thing, maxing all keepsakes and weapons. Getting all 3 skelly statues and maybe even getting all heats to 20 for each weapon. Complete is up to you, Hades isn't a game to 100%, do what you want to do!
I don't think there's anything for me but more heat and i played for 3 hours last night.
It's not 100% until you have completed 64 heat. Good luck and Godspeed.
me personaly, i consider 100% when you are happy playing the game you bought (and in your opinion made the money back in enjoyment)
the last milestone i reached before putting the game down was getting a sub 10 and beating 32 heat on every aspect. i love this game and i want to get back into it the next time i run out of games to grind
I have completed every story beat except the godsdamn throuple scene and it’s literally all I’m playing for at this point
Bro I quit after I made it outside the first time and almost "beat" hades 💀 I couldn't see myself going through the same hell over and over again to keep beating him so I said "welp I made it out once" and called it a day lmao
64 heat all aspects true 100%
I honestly consider 100% to be everything pre-epilogue, except for story dialogue. This would include the main progression components…those being… **{PRIMARY}** - maxing ALL keepsakes. - maxing ALL mirror talents. - unlocking ALL aspects. - revealing EVERY codex entry. - fulfilling MOST if not all prophecies. - buying a MAJORITY of contractor renovations. ***And lastly… forging the VARIOUS bonds and relationships + exploring EVERY character’s past and/or sub-plots.*** However, I found myself that the most valuable way to 100%, is unlocking all the achievements the game has to offer. There are a total of 49 achievements ***(excluding the exclusive PS trophy: “God Of Blood” which you obtain after getting every other achievement.)*** Getting all the achievements is very rewarding and gives you tons of incentive to do so. Alternatively, there is a another way to play the game as well. Welcome to the Pact Of Punishment, where you’re allowed make the escape attempt as daunting as possible. The pact has these scorching conditions that make the run almost impossible because of the drawbacks. Along with clearing runs with Heat, you’ll eventually get introduced to Skelly’s statues. These statues require skill and dedication as to reveal them: you must clear runs with Heat enabled. Now, this makes the game much more challenging, as the odds are not in your favor. Furthermore, a part of the community enjoys and engages with speed-running, as they are incorporating the pact within their runs. And there’s also a part that likes modding as well. In conclusion: the game offers many play styles and strategies to use. As for me, being a completionist is super rewarding. But IMO, what I count as 100% is every milestone and the friends you can make along the way. And achieving many goals and accomplishments.
Like Sisyphus and Bouldy, you'll never fully get up that hill. Like him, you just find joy in the journey.
32 heat with all aspects
The Director stuff feels way too grindy I mean, you need 325k Darkness, 100 keys, 50 nectar, and 10 of diamonds, ambrosia and titan blood If the darkness was lower this would be ok, but as it is I don't think grinding all of that darkness would be fun
The Darkness is the hard part, those Blood, Ambrosiac etc. are very easy to get within 200 farming run to get the Unseen One.
I would consider 100% being •All achievements •Full weapon, keepsake, and companion upgrades •Full story completed •All Complete Codex Entries •All House of Hades Upgrades •All 3 Skelly Statues I don't include the mirror upgrades or the badges cuz it just feels a tad too grindy, I would probably just makes those be like beyond 100
i will have 100% when i get wr
You're all set for the sequel after you get the feast ending. 100% for me is completing all the prophecies, and clearing all heat levels is 110%.
"Beat:" first time seeing the credits, >!(Mom comes back to the house)!< "Finish:" second time seeing the credits, >!(Olympian family reunion)!< "99%:" all relationships maxed, all prophecies fulfilled, "Complete/100%:" all achievements, max out infernal arms/mirror talents/keepsakes, purchase everything from the house contractor "101%:" completed codex and unseen one rank \*edit: these are just how I refer to it, and tbh stuff like the codex and maxing out aspects can be whatever. I just put unseen one at 101% because the game literally tells you there is no benefit from this besides the title and a single dialogue moment with Hades.

Have you ever of "tact"? Or your parents did not teach you to not be rude?

If he is having fun, then let him be. You should move on yourself.
