History Of Hades - King Of The Underworld & God Of Death - God Of War Series

I loved this character design. Hades had one of the best weapons and his boss fight was legendary.

[@bradleyebert7947]

True

[@generalhorse493]

I dunno, i suppose in this universe it works but it doesn't really capture who Hades is as a person. Most greeks feared him because he didn't apply to everyday life like the other olympians did and out of fear of death. If you look at the og greek myths again, Hades is not only not a serial rapist/adulterer like his bros and most of the other olympians, he's also genuinely interested in the happiness and well being of his wife Persephone, and was genuinely moved by Orpheus's music and allowed him the possibility of seeing Eurydice again if his faith was strong enough (spoiler alert it wasn't).

[@astralchaos3441]

@@generalhorse493 That's why Hades' design is great in God of war. His looks make him feared, but by personality, he's actually a pretty decent guy.

[@th3y33ted3]

Hades was probably the closest in ways and intentions to Kratos. Both have a similar fighting style and weapons, both seeking revenge for their family members.

[@sctkarter1111]

Fun fact: while Zeus’s gift was the lighting bolt and Poseidons being the trident, Hades gift was actually a helmet that made him invisible. I guess developers thought that was lame and we’re like *PFF SOUL SUCKING CLAWS* However the attention given to the design of his furnace helmet in this game leads me to believe they still wanted to incorporate that

[@Scp-682-]

I thought it was the helmet of fear which struck terror in anyone who saw it also remember Kratos could not see him or hear his footsteps while he was in the same room until after he tried to take his sole

He was one of the better characters quite simply.Actually showed lots of emotion for his brother and nieces death(Zeus didnt give a thunders worth of shit),still grieved over his wife even though she tried to kill literally everyone(which includes him)unlike so many he never ducked Kratos(true he wouldnt challenge him as the true god of war but even Zeus and the whole Olympus wouldnt try shit at that point)even after he killed his brother Poseidon who was as strong and even stronger than he was.Plus the way he faced his own father was BADASS,Cronos was totally losing until Atlas interveved. Even in the original myths he is still one of the better gods and nothing like he is portayed in media

[@VictorPerez-hg2ed]

Agree with u on that one my friend.

Out of all the Gods in the Franchise,Hades is the most terrifying and nightmarish one of them all as well as Kronos Son,is a shame we don't get to see more of him,but he did put a huge impact in the series with a Weapon that would give the Blades of Chaos a run of it's money,whatever of those choices comes next,it world still be worth the wait.

Loved Hades design and power up from God of War and God of War 3. Sad we don't get more of him and other gods like Poseidon and Hermes. All of those characters would have been solid additions to Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, and even Accession.

[@theoutlawking9123]

His "Army of Hades" magic in GOW1 was ths best power.

[@kennethclemons3415]

One of the most terrified and memorable boss fights in God of War series from start to finish. True terror comes when the Hades tries to snatch Kratos 's soul from the jump which I was really surprised and never done in a video game. Talking about fighting for your life! I felt that my soul was in stake when fight Hades. You really feel that there's a personal goal, the stakes are high against Hades.. Hades voice, appearance, music, and the hellish underworld atmospheric background is the stuff of extreme nightmares that makes the boss fight epic!

[@boxdryer6973]

Hades is the only one who fights with the same style that kratos uses

[@fearthepiggaming2998]

So I just thought of something terrifying off the top of my head. OK so it's canon at this point that Kratos didn't kill every olympian and worst of all the blade of olympus was just left on the battlefield at the end of God of War 3. Why do I have a feeling that we're going to have to deal with a pissed off, let's say, Artemis at some point.

[@derronbirch2412]

And Apollo

[@fearthepiggaming2998]

@@derronbirch2412 I was just using Artemis as an example It would be up to the designers how they decide the hierarchy without all of the big gods

[@thatguynamedzeus5091]

Though Kratos didn't kill all the Olympians directly in God Of War 3 the implication is that they all died off screen from the Chaos caused by killing likes of Poseidon, Hades, Hermes, Helios and especially Zeus since its implied by both Poseidon and Athena that if Zeus dies all the other Olympians will die as well and this makes sense since Zeus is the God in charge of governing order throughout the Greek Realm, with him dead it would mean that there would be no more order and that the Greek world would be thrown back into chaos resulting in the end of all Grecian Life including the Olympian, not to mention when Kratos killed Gaia her corpse collapsed on Mount Olympus destroying the palace in the process so the other Olympian Gods such as Aphrodite most likely got crushed to death by Gaia's corpse....so based on this Kratos didn't kill all the Greek Gods directly, he killed all the rest of them indirectly through all yhe chaos he was causing, it's just that their deaths got offscreened, also Artemis only made ome debut throughout the entirety of the God Of War franchise and that was in God Of War 1, a game that came out 17 years ago after that she was never seen again, so her chances of returning are slimer to none now that we're in an entirely different Pantheon and because it's implied all the Greek Gods were killed off directly and indirectly from Kratos' wreckage in God Of War 3

[@fearthepiggaming2998]

@@thatguynamedzeus5091 Actually it's confirmed that some of the olympians are still alive as are some humans. I can't remember if it was the studio or Corey himself who confirmed that but somebody did.

We all know Mimir was once the trickster Puck or Robin Goodfellow from the realm of King Arthur and served the Fairy King Oberon and Fairy Queen Titania. He tells you in GOW that he's from another land and how fun it was to pull pranks and mess with mortals til his master was done with him.

[@jakevelasco4072]

Hold on a minute, Hades soul is in his claw weapons, which I think controls and grasp souls. If I’m right, Athena and Zeus also have “souls” as we see in GOW3 (sorry for not knowing what the name of the gods soul form is) and when Kratos used Hades claws he also ripped out his soul. So technically speaking, when Kratos finally stabbed Zeus and gets much of his gear damaged, yeah maybe hades claws are damaged, but is the underworld god’s soul also destroyed? If not, he could be still out there in the mythology universe, probably looking for Kratos.

I have a duty to fulfill, and such petty things can not detract me from responsibilities. All Gods have a duty to the world for we are bound to it and it’s people. But only *I* take it seriously. Only *I* don’t treat the world like my playground and the mortals as my playthings. I am firstborn of Kronos and eldest of the Olympians. Cheated out of my birthright by my own family, my own siblings! Yet I got the most important job of all, dispite no one knowing it. For in the hands of any of the lesser mature Gods I call my family, the dead would flood the world of the living. So let them spew their lies. Let them believe their falsehoods.
