Hades has had enough of Zagreus' Nectar and makes him take it all back - Hades

Look I strongly considered titling this with offerings instead but it's just so much more hilarious phrasing it like that because I just imagine somebody seeing this video not knowing about the game and going "What?! Excuse me?! What do you mean?! Isn't that guy Hades' son?! What?!" Then clicking on the video or perhaps doing a quick google search and being relieved that it's not something super strange. So sorry if that was you but even if it wasn't I'm still sorry for just the overall weirdness of the title and description of this video. Anyway I hope you enjoyed regardless, peace.

I'm getting the sense that Hades is trying to say "You don't owe me anything, nor do you have to pay me for affection, also I acknowledge the hurt i caused and am limited in how i can fix things, but I'm going to try anyway but it may not be in ways you expect, however i wish to be honest with you, grrr" and i think that's wonderful

[@taqwis]

grr HAHAHAHAHA

[@feathersigil2048]

And he's also saying, in an indirect way "I know I'm a grumpy jerk, son. I can't change who I am. I want to be better to you, nonetheless, but it's not going to be easy for you and most of the time you probably won't even notice that I'm trying. But I really am trying."

Tries to return the Ambrosia. Forms a bond with his son instead.

[@emiliobautista4953]

It is... Actually kind of a sweet interaction... For Hades that is

[@Psychohistorian42]

It took a LOT for him to tell Zagreus that he would never lie to him again.

[@CallMeMimi27]

HE IS TRYING HIS BEST OK?!

[@huyphan7825]

I like to actually believe Hades just really hates nectar and ambrosia due to his brothers’ constant parties

[@coldjustus]

"look, I cant accept this because i've been drunk on fireball enough times to know that another handle of the stuff will make me ruin the friendships I made while drinking the last one."

[@Thenonymous1]

Or it could be the other way around, he likes it a little too much and he knows it. If he has any, he might fall off the proverbial cliff and he's trying to avoid that.

[@cronft]

probably its because one sip of nectar or ambrosia and he is drunk right there, that or he is easy to get adicted to stuff, and thro disciple he avoids it like its lava

[@Flight_of_Icarus]

This entire game is about reuniting and making peace with an estranged family. It's one of the better interpretations of Greek myth I've seen. Better than treating the entire pantheon like a boss rush, as so many games do.

[@JDoe-ox6ie]

He doesn't feel he deserves nectar or ambrosia from Zag

[@DulalJoarder]

Thanks for this man, my stupid little cousin clicked a mouse button and skipped the last dialogue atleast because of you I can read the last dialogue.

[@medusathedecepticon]

That's pretty sweet actually

[@hartantoanggoro]

Meanwhile in the front of The Temple of Styx Zagreus : So we're having a fishing together? Hades : Yes Zagreus : Great let me get my Fishing Rod Hades : No son, we are having a spear fishing Zagreus : Spear fishing? Hades : Yes Zagreus : Uhm Hades : It is simple, first I fish you and then the fish

[@Baddaby]

Meanwhile in Hades 2: Let's fish together

[@diethylmalonate]

and then I turned around and gave it all to Cerberus xD

[@DreamersOfReality]

Hades is trying, but it's up to Zagreus whether or not to accept it. Remember folks: just because somebody is trying to mend a relationship, it doesn't mean their efforts are above reproach, and both parties can decide that the others' efforts aren't enough. You can decide if the reconciliatory efforts of the person who hurt you just aren't enough. Don't let anyone gaslight or bully you into accepting someone just because they're "trying".

[@Firestorm422]

True enough, just don't be surprised if they just stop trying completely if you never reciprocate.

[@Teenage_Mutant_Ginga_Ninja]

If anyone discounts your experiences by saying "it's in the past" or "it happened so long ago" they care more about you getting over it more than they care about you.

[@hirocheeto7795]

@@Firestorm422 If the effort wasn't enough - or no effort could ever be enough, then I sincerely doubt that there'd be surprise or much anything at all in reaction to them stopping.

[@ArcVaranus]

For Hades and Zagreus specifically, it's interesting - Zag is trying to mend things with gifts, Hades rejects that attempt and tries to mend things while maintaining his pride. Ultimately both father and son struggle to understand one another's language of apology, but by this time there's a modicum of trust and grace.

[@Firestorm422]

@hirocheeto7795 I've seen and know people that refuse to reciprocate in hopes that they will encourage them to create bigger acts of apology. Those are primarily the people i'm talking about

This game makes me feel things
