Hades talks about Bouldy & Sisyphus - Hades 2

[@GoddessUmbra]

I think Zagreus would approve of Bouldy’s new look

[@ashec.6824]

I'd like to imagine he somehow gets one of those moss graffiti sprayers for whenever Bouldy wants a 'haircut' once things settle down post-game

[@gupwalla961]

He has gathered moss without Sis to roll him.

[@MyRYNOrunsHot]

Hades + Bouldy was not the relationship I was expecting.

[@iwasdeleted708]

But it was definitely something appreciated.

[@raviolibirb8009]

It's kinda funny when you realize in the first game that at some point, zag used sisyphus' aid to fight hades by having sisyphus throwing bouldy into the sky and falling right on top of hades Enemies to lovers ahh relationship

I didn’t even know Bouldy was here until now. Damn he grew a beard lmao. Love Bouldy

[@BP-dn9nv]

I like to think the reason Sisyphus decided to help Hades because of how Zagreus helped him.

[@NIHIL_EGO]

Sisyphus was a pretty chill dude in the first game in general.

[@GengUpinIpin]

Dude was so chill that... If Zagreus decides to be thristy to Thanatos Instead of getting upset, dude only wanted to understand Zagreus' perspective

[@lunerblade13]

@@NIHIL_EGOhe was chill to zagreus not to the rest of the house.

[@OnCuzImBored]

​@@lunerblade13 he was pretty chill when we see Meg or Than interact with him in the first game though?

[@lunerblade13]

@@OnCuzImBored it’s less chill more passive aggressive. He knows that they both are in a deadlock and that they are more frustrated by this predicament then he is. Zagreus and bouldy were the only two individuals Sisyphus was genuine with.

Ngl she's got her dad's personality

[@KongoMuller69]

Indeed

[@damsonrhea]

Yeah, I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but she's about as far from Zagreus as you can be. Makes sense - like her father, she is defined by a grudge that consumes her life, while Zagreus was seeking to fix what was broken in his family (even if he couldn't have stated it that clearly at the start of his journey). They're very different people, from very different circumstances, while Hades and Melinoe are birds of a feather.

[@quinkana1]

@@JS-wj6vb yeah I can imagine when zag and her talk they'd be quite stiff with each other, but quickly be able to build rapport with each other due to zag being quite good at communicating in general.

[@universalperson]

Hades doesn't understand people being kind to him. He's expecting to be hated.

[@vengefulforces7395]

I wonder how this experience will change his personality past this game? doubt we'll see it but we could end up with a more empathetic Hades, though thats not a high bar to pass given how he was in the last game

[@a.u.g.m.a.s]

To be fair, like he said, most of them aren’t exactly fond of him. He’s right to think SOME will hate him, but not everyone does.

[@lomiification]

Which doesn't make a ton of sense. He's one of the friendliest gods there is

[@aureliodeprimus8018]

@@lomiification Well, no one likes being reminded of mortality, so mortals usually only speak his name when they are in peril. Plus, having to work overtime for centuries due to the other gods nonsense and having to deal with his wife leaving and his son being rebellious took quite a toll on his attitude.

[@Box_of_Octopus]

Bouldy has that vibe of being able to teleport, Like Patrick Pet rock who won that snail race

[@Darigosh]

Look at hades 1 (smiles)

[@Noir1015]

He does that if you use the Shady companion

[@maxmustermann-zx9yq]

@@Noir1015 and Hades has a special voiceline expressing his confusion about where that boulder came from if you do that

[@bonelesschickennuggets1868]

Putting aside game mechanics and such, the boulder is indeed enchanted to some extent due to Sisyphus task of rolling it uphill only to fail as the rock continuously slips from his hands. The gods (depending on the version of the story it’s Hades or Zeus who imparts the punishment) cursed the rock to make sure his task was all a futile endeavor no matter how proficient or stronger he became by pushing the rock.

[@thebaseandtriflingcreature174]

"...is that blasted boulder from the sky!?"

[@keepcloudcityweird]

If you’ve ever dropped Sisyphus and Bouldy’s summon on Hades’ head twice in a row in the first game, this will be extremely hilarious to you now 🤣🤣🤣

[@cronft]

could be funny if hades did sayd, oh, also your brother summoned this rock while he did some battle against me sometimes

[@HeraldOfOpera]

Not as funny as if you'd given Bouldy a bunch of Ambrosia.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

Has Bouldy gathered some kind of animus? It spent a long time with Sisyphus, in a place of power… it wouldn’t be surprising if *something* happened to it.

[@ofgreyhairwaifu4089]

Idk about any animus, but he sure gathered a stash of ambrosia and nectar after Zag wasted a bunch of it on him... I guess that's on way to ease the plight of Hades?

[@digifreak90]

@@ofgreyhairwaifu4089 Oh, the Nectar you give Bouldy isn't wasted. Bouldy will actually give Zagreus a boon that boosts his damage by 2% - 4%. That rock definitely has some level of power.

[@universalperson]

​@@digifreak90it's not always damage - in my 32 Heat run I got a 5% damage reduction from Bouldy. Bouldy's Boons have a variety of very small but useful effects...unless you get the Ambiguity Bonus, which is the dud result.

[@digifreak90]

@@universalperson Huh. I thought it was just damage. Good to know. (To be fair, the highest heat I've beaten so far is only 5)

the boulder has its own portrait bro 😭😭😭😭

the best part is: bouldy got a portrait before charon and narcissus

[@variel8645]

isnt it just the one from hades 1?

[@LegoCowManZ]

It is. They reused the Hades 1 portrait; it doesn't have moss.

[@lord_ozymandias]

@@LegoCowManZ oh. i always avoided sisyphus because i hated what he did to my boy thanatos - i had no idea the boulder had a portrait from the start 😶

[@ryanrcosta]

but tbf they could also have used charon's portrait from the 1st game instead of the placeholder one, i have no idea why they didn't

[@ailingstar8856]

Honestly I believe that Sysiphus is probably acting as one of Odysseus's spies where he can, putting his old wiles to a good cause.

[@coltonwilliams4153]

I’d believe it. The man was a cunning fellow in life. He’d have to be to get away with all the crimes he committed, and that’s before he locked Than up for months. I don’t know if he’ll ever be entirely on the gods’ side, but he’s definitely on Zag’s, and definitely against the titans.

[@HittingBandy]

Meg: "Why does this inanimate boulder countain so much energy?" Chronus: "Did-Did Zagreus just sneeze? While frozen in my time cage???"

[@michaelg-rt8ko]

bouldy says thanks

[@somedude4087]

Bouldy got them good looks with that hair and beard (yea its moss but still)

[@MoonyMoonzzi]

I love how ruthless and direct Melinoe can be. It’s almost funny. Completely different from Zagreus. She is really polite and kind but acts under very strict beliefs in her head and has a hard time navigating outside of them. It’s charming

[@LeafGreen250]

Zagreus is more like his mom, Melinoe is more like her dad

[@lowellp4603]

I really hope we get to see more of Sisyphus and that he and bouldy can be runited

[@JakitSol]

Bouldy's looking pretty good with a head of moss and a sweet pair of holebrows and all that full-beard of facial-lichen!

[@DeviantEdspear]

A rolling stone gathers no mos, stands to reason the opposite is true. Good for Bouldy.

[@JimmyRei1000]

Bouldy is absolutely alive, absolutely knows what's going on... and is here for Papa Hades.

[@ShadowsWrath4]

Listen, KZbin. Don't just believe in yourself. Believe in the Bouldy who believes in you. Your roars shall be the ones to quake Olympus. Never forget.

It seems the direct stare into the player's soul is a family feature of Hadesians...

[@coltonwilliams4153]

Hades will be our eternal king when we die. It makes sense that he and his kin can lay our souls bare with a glance.

[@digifreak90]

I love that they gave Bouldy angry eyebrows.

[@robertjv]

The boulder has conflicted feelings about this situation

[@comicalcosmonaut959]

Awwww Sisyphus was really sweet for doing this

[@CritScratch]

Bouldy should do something about his relatives. They're very aggressive.

[@spencermanning9994]

As someone who read Greek Mythology before playing Hades, I never expected to ever sympathize with Sisyphus. And well, here I am. I swear, if Chronos did something to my boy Sisyphus, he's gonna rue the day this game fully releases....

[@cyz3566]

Bouldy has a beard now? Nice.

The Boulder speaks the word of the eldritch Gods, you don't know what it says but you understand that

[@ApexGale]

one must imagine hades happy after sisyphus forgave him

[@coltonwilliams4153]

More like flabbergasted. Judging from the lines in this video, I don’t think he’s ever understood how Sisyphus forgave him.

[@Funnyso869]

I hope the actually give him an updated icon in the full release and don't just reuse his old one I would like to see how he would look with his new beard

[@partymantis3421]

We will get that art for sure, no worries They are just using cloaks or the first games art while they finnish drawing the rest

[@foxmcfog7809]

Back when Hades 2 wasn't even out, I thought how cool it would be if the next installment involved Nordic Gods as well, clashing together with the Greek ones - it could have 2 protagonists, one from the Greek mythology and one from the Nordic side (which could even meet up and fight), but then this would no longer be "Hades" now, wouldn't it?
