Chronos talks about Chaos - Hades 2

[@rossvaljr.3852]

Melinoe: "I can't believe you had the audacity to trick the creator themself." Chronos: "Hey, don't look at me. Even I can't believe how easy it was to pull that shit off." Chronos is such an asshole, I love him.

[@KabegamiTheGreat]

[@KabegamiTheGreat]

@GooglyGook12 just personafies chaos too much, makes it less grand and ancient and more sissy and quirky and using they them for it feels like using something new to describe something older than everything before we used pronouns like we did today. Especially its character design, greatly inferior to the original. Too orderly, too neat, not very chaotic but people like it because Chaos is hot now.

I can only imagine what fate will be fall Chronos if there's a next game. It'd be interesting to see if Chaos themselves punish him.

[@Khontis]

Yea. Most people don't realize how powerful the Cthonic Gods were because after the Greek dark ages they focused more on the Olympians and fleshing them out. Theres a reason, for example, during the Odyssey that Zeus was VERY careful not to piss of "The mother of night" when she started complaining of the shenanigans going around causing her some idle headaches.

[@Dave-cw2mj]

​@Khontis 100%. The same reason Hades agreed to work WITH Nyx instead of overtaking the underworld. Nyx literally birthed the beings that dictate the fate of the gods themselves. If that isn't a testament to how ridiculously powerful she must be idk what is

[@Broomer52]

Chaos is pretty indifferent. They don’t seem to care much for how everything turns out because the universe is a giant experiment. They made reality, set some parameters and sat back to watch it all play out. Even talking to you they don’t regard you in any way like a person. They talk to you like someone talking to a program they made. Even when talking about Chronos they didn’t care and were more concerned they compromised the integrity of the experiment on accident.

[@kakishisfriend1126]

​@Khontis Don't forget when Hypnos pissed Zues off he ran to his mother Nyx and Zues left him alone

[@Samookely]

the Greek pantheon does love to think up cruel and unusual punishments for Titans dont they 💀 im looking forward to what this game will come up with in that scenario

[@ouroboros0000]

Step 1: Kidnap Nyx to use as bargaining chips Step 2: Exchange Nyx to Chaos for Fate whereabouts Step 3: Chaos tell you everything you need on their own. Step 4: Ignore step 1 and 2.

[@caad5258]

On brand for both Chronos and Chaos. Time committing Elder abuse, and Chaos unthinkingly causing Chaos.

[@vullord666]

Step 5: Piss Chaos off for the first time ever and teach the primordial creator animosity In Hades 1 Chaos was a blank slate with curiosity. They created the world but hadn't yet interacted with it greatly and experienced the emotions that comes with that. Zagreus started this on a hugely positive note and things really pushed along with Nyx reconnecting. It was neat cuz Chaos was being raised by their children and creations. However Chaos was still naive and pure hearted. Now they've been taught how to hate and oh boy. Really can't wait to see how supergiant pays this off.

Man i wish Nyx was giving Blessings

[@Kalus_Heart607]

Honestly, it could be possible. Dumb theory, but what if in the game, we can free her (and maybe Persephone) and thus then can then grant boons. It’s a dumb thought, but we are still in Early Access, and I’m certain we’ll get at least 1 or 2 new gods along with Eris, Athena and Dionysus

[@Whenpigfly666]

Or, and hear my wish fulfilment, Zagreus Boons ? Physically impossible ? Yes. Cool af ? Also yes.

[@nikoguarro]

Spoiler: after you find Hades he gives you boons. So, it's probable that Persephone, Nyx and even Zagreus give you boons too when we finally rescue them

[@Kalus_Heart607]

Even if we don’t get boons from them, I think it’d be neat just bringing them back to the crossroads. I wonder how Nyx would react to Hypnos, lost in his endless slumber… Just slaps him awake lol

The Titan of Time committing Elder abuse is on brand

[@josephmoffatt4696]

I wonder if they will make reference to Ouranos, Chronos’ father, in Hades II.

[@Macaulyn_97]

Ouranus is not Chronos' father in Hades 2. You see, in Greek myth, there are two characters with his name: Chronos, the primordial incarnation of time, and Kronos, the titan of agriculture. The two are often thought to be the same, and Hades 2 played with this by actually having them be the same, but in actual myth they're not, Chronos is the son of Chaos and a brother to Nyx, while Kronos is the son of Ouranus (sky) and Gaia (earth) and father to Zeus and his siblings, and he has a scythe because of his association with agriculture (and he cut Ouranus' dick off because the children of Ouranus and Gaia were being born and squished between earth and sky, so the dick cutting caused Ouranus to fly off onto the top of the world). Hades 2 mixes them by having Chronos as the titan of time, and a direct son of Chaos, so in this continuity, he'd be a brother to Oceanus.

[@joaquinbitancor1269]

@@Macaulyn_97 is he said to be a son of Chaos in the game? Haven't seen any mentions of the such, and the way they both talk about the other, it doesn't seem to be like that

@@Macaulyn_97 Didn't Hades refer to Chronos as 'father' in the game though? I feel like Kronos and Chronos were indeed fused, but that the character is mostly Kronos still.

​@MorokLeviathan He did call him father. Hera also spoke to Zeus and said, "Son of Chronos"

[@caad5258]

@@Macaulyn_97 In game they've referenced Chronos being cursed by the fates, and Chronos eating people. So I think they are going to run with the Kronos Myth that he overthrew his father, and so was cursed by the fates to be overthrown by his children.

May have been wise to still have given Chaos Nyx back cause then Chronos may not have a beyond agitated cthonic Chaos wanting his hrad.

[@ashec.6824]

Nah, if Nyx is up and moving she's fighting for the house back too. Remember that it's ultimately her domain that he's taken, she just permits Hades to wield the bulk of the authority and ruling while she prioritizes maintaining the realm itself. Plus he still has Zagreus, Thanatos, Meg, Persephone, and the rest of the house staff that she clearly cared about even if she didn't see them as family. Even if Chaos suggested that they simply withdraw from the conflict, I can't see her going along with it - I think it's more likely she'd fight regardless, and Chaos would ultimately join in her efforts. Chronos would have had to deal with the wrath of Night Incarnate AND Primordial Chaos in the aftermath, not just Chaos.

Easily. Chaos is the most powerful entity in the Hades games, far and away, as they're the one responsible for all creation. Chaos just doesn't meddle much due to their curiosity

[@Jeezes718]

Chaos is the primordial creator of Greek mythos. All deities stem from them. Chaos simply chooses not to directly involve themselves in the matters of others, only doing so indirectly through others such as Zagreas and Melinoe. Tldr: yes.

[@HellIsForeverWithInfinite]

If Chaos created the universe, and in doing so, created the primordials, wouldn't that mean Chaos should have the power to get rid of and/or replace Chronos?

what did chronos do to “deceive” chaos?

[@P3ndaAd3m]

It doesnt explained in the video but Chronos found the Fates thanks to Chaos who tells him where they are ^^

[@XenonPrimeSBSV]

It seems like Chronos phrased his query regarding the location of the Fates in a manner that implied an experiment or pursuing one of Chaos' inquiries, he basically used Chaos' curiosity against him. Chaos doesn't really 'do' manipulation or lying and thanks to Zagreus' meddling in the prior game Chaos became more open to friendly and familial contact.

I think chronos asked chaos where the fates were and said that if they didn't want him to know they just stop it cause they were the fates.

[@ultrasquid579]

Chaos wanted to see what the world would look like without their influence. Chronos told them that he could help achieve this goal if they were to help him find them. Of course, Chronos conveniently left out that he would be using their absence to gain the upper hand.

Chaos did wear some sort of robe back then. I think Chaos wearing a suit a cleaner look is just trying to imply that they aren't bound to time

@@Pi-is-Bi Not so much a robe as a... sort of floating ribbon of cloth, it doesn't give the impression of being worn, just sort of there. Which suits Chaos pretty well; I'm not sure they even have a full body in the first game, all you can see is head, torso, arms, and roiling mass of distorted faces. I think what I'm trying to get at is Hades Chaos went hard in a way Hades 2 Chaos just kind of doesn't. I guess it does make sense if this is a more sociable persona, but if there's one thing that primordial Chaos shouldn't be it's stuck in one shape; the premise of the sequel seems to preclude Chaos getting to go have friendly visits with people, so why aren't they in some extra-spicy angry abomination shape instead?
