The Pied Piper Picked a Perfectly Peculiar Pan Performance to Pacify Perceptive Prometheus | Hades 2

[@saltytyranitar6981]

Some long-awaited trivia for you all! Zeus the Thunder Bringer was made King of the Gods for a number of reasons. The first and most important one is that Zeus saved his fellow Olympians from being eaten by Chronos during the original war between the Gods and the Titans (a war known as the Titanomachy). This is why when Hades demands to know what Chronos has done with his family, Chronos sarcastically reassures him that 'I haven't eaten them' with that creepy echoing voice. Zeus was saved by his mother Rhea from being eaten by his father, who fed him a rock shaped like a baby instead. He then led the other Gods in a great war against the Titans that ended with them being carved up into tiny pieces and spread across Tartarus so they could never regenerate. Chronos references these events whenever he talks about being carved up into little bits, and you can actually see that he's filled in missing pieces of his body with golden lacquer to somewhat literally keep himself together. After the Titans were deposed and subsequently disposed, Zeus and his three brothers set about deciding which domain each God would obtain by drawing lots. This is why Zag complains about Hades (and himself) being trapped in the Underworld because he 'drew the short straw' in the first game. In some tellings I've heard they drew coloured stones instead of straws, but regardless Zeus did give his brothers a fair shot at dominion over the Sky and thus the most powerful position of leadership in the Pantheon. Despite being known as a playboy, a rapist, a warmonger and a bastard in modern times Zeus was also the Greek God of Justice and was very concerned with enforcing the rules of the cosmos. In both The Odyssey and The Iliad we see him repeatedly weighing the arguments of all the other divinities before making any major decisions in any one direction. Thus, in the Greek mind while he was a sometimes brutal king who had very human vices he nonetheless used his power to allow his subjects stability and prosperity, which made him a good king despite everything. We see this most clearly with the battle against Typhon. An impossibly powerful hundred-headed monster expressly created by Gaia (sometimes with Chronos' help) to overthrow the Gods and restore the Titans, all of the other Gods (except my gal Athena) transformed themselves into animals and fled all the way to Egypt to run from his incredible power. Zeus stood firm, and reached up into the heavens to tangle his thunderbolts around his arms like whips, blasting off all of Typhon's hundred heads before burying him underneath a mountain (often identified as Mount Etna or a similar volcano--volcanic eruptions were sometimes attributed to Typhon thrashing against his bonds in Tartarus). In some versions Typhon won their first round, but Hermes pieced Zeus back together and he won the second round. Either way, Zeus performed his divine duty by protecting his kingdom from invaders and keeping peace for his subjects. He does this again in the Gigantomachy, where he leads the Olympians in their charge against the terrifying Snake-Giants after Gaia again tries to destroy Olympus and bring the Titans back to power. It's his scheme to harvest all of an herb that makes the eaters impervious that allows the Snake-Giants to be killed, too, and he slays the single largest of them. This is a very Grecian ideal of a King--a hedonist who lives life to the fullest, but also supports and protects his community when he is called to do his duty. This is why the other Gods so often come to someone as scummy and crass in his personal life as Zeus to settle their personal disputes. He's actually very fair-minded and objective when it comes to balancing the cosmic scales, and has saved mortalkind many times from Demeter's eternal winter, Helios' son accidentally scouring the surface in fire, Helios refusing to raise the sun out of anger towards Odysseus' crew (but not Od himself), an epidemic of immortal humans eating themselves to death when Asclepius the immortal doctor kept healing them, the evils of human sacrifice and many other cruelties.

Heya boat, after the “how not to speedrun” vid the other day i’ve started practicing my underworld pan runs, so far i’ve gotten it down to 6:40 which im pretty happy about so cheers for getting me into it. I did break the right click on my mouse though so 😢

[@Boat3d]

Congrats and unlucky

[@HarpsOCE]

Whilst I rate the alliteration making a return you missed the news article style title with "what happens next will shock you"

[@Boat3d]

Been there done that

[@fishermancy7719]

We’re prob getting somewhat close to the next major update, super hyped ngl

[@MultiPuppypuncher]

I heard from john supergiant himself that it’s coming tomorrow

[@fishermancy7719]

@ john supergiant can’t lie

[@wildstorm3486]

@@fishermancy7719from what Reddit has told me. Likely by the end of February at the latest. We know that this major update was said to take less time than the first one. Which took about 5 months and was released last October. So if we say 3-4 months(assuming everything is going and continues to go smoothly for the devs). We are looking at somewhere between late January to the end of February. I’m in no hurry to get the update though. I have plenty of great games to play in the mean time. I’m in the middle of Nine Sols right now and having a blast.

[@Boat3d]

Same can’t wait

[@TheFarslayer]

Enough with these alluring and awsome alliterations boated!

[@TheBitingBat]

Build idea request Incandesence Hestia hera duo with the unseen arcana card and chaos magic Regen to try and get it to go off constantly

[@Jon-5db]

Find the Boated slay the Boated

[@Boat3d]

So true

[@keerthan7558]

I'm honestly confused that you rarely go for master conductor despite loving static shock soo much. That duo is just bonkers for atk focused builds

[@Boat3d]

If you mean in this video specifically it’s a zeus only build, in general I usually don’t have a Heph core to go for it, if I do I’ll try

[@thesenate8268]

I love gambling!

[@Boat3d]

Who doesn’t!
