How Many Runs Does it Take to Get to Epilogue Hades?

A Closer Look at the Required Reruns

In this article, we will tackle the question on every Hades fan’s mind: how many runs does it take to get to the epilogue? If you are new to Hades, you may wonder why this question is even a concern. Let me briefly explain. Hades, in its true sense, can be played through multiple times, and the true ending is only revealed after sufficient progress has been made in the game.

Overview of the True Ending Requirements

To trigger the epilogue, a special kind of ending that sets Hades apart from other run-based games, players need to meet a specific condition. Zagreus must be taken home as many times as necessary before the true ending is revealed.

Steps to Unlock the Epilogue

Here is a straightforward guide to achieve the desired outcome:

• Reach the 10th Cycle: This is a non-negotiable milestone that gets you closer to the end. Beating the Asphodel river nine times should lead to the 10th and final cycle, allowing access to the first post-game content.

• Explore the Upper Paths: Progress through the paths while fighting boss battles, taking on characters, and completing side quests. The primary focus will be on uncovering plotlines and achieving story events.

• Develop Ties with Other Gods: Hades loves to play matches. Reaching out to and aligning with gods and deities is vital in pushing the story forward.

The Final Piece: Confronting Zagreus twice

After having experienced countless cycles, Hades now requires players to fight twice against Zagreus (as I mentioned earlier) for complete closure. Make no mistakes; be prepared and well-equipped as both boss battles are not optional – they are, indeed, the last part of an epic journey. By finishing these encounters successfully, a new world and even better content await in The Epilogue, culminating in the climax.

Remember: no matter how hard the struggles may seem, perseverance in each retry will eventually result in getting to the desired endpoint (epilogue) where there is more value for enthusiasts of Hades, the Underworld!
