Hades Game Idea - Neoptolemus Keepsake

Hades Game idea - Neoptolemus Keepsake

Keepsake

Scyrian ribbon => A hair ribbon that once belonged to Achilles during his time on the island of Skyros.

Description

Gain the feature of enemies either slowing down their attacks or having smaller fields of noticing Zagreus, except for bosses. Effects increase as keepsake levels rise.

Idea behind it

The ribbon slows enemies' attacks or makes them not notice Zagreus because of having a smaller detection field. The idea behind this is that it is disguising Zagreus similar to how Achilles was hidden on the island of Skyros away from the perception of the Greeks. This was originally something that Deidamia had and was given to Neoptolemus who will give it to Zagreus.

Dialogue

Similar to other keepsakes if you have it around certain figures they will comment on it. Off the idea that Pyrrhus is in the game he will comment on Zagreus having it on him, Achilles and Patroclus will I imagine question how Zagreus got his hands on a Scyrian hair ribbon. In my mind it could be the trigger to a plot line for Neoptolemus, so if you come across Patroclus and Achilles with the ribbon they will make a general comment on it but when you get back to the house Achilles will question Zagreus about it because he recognizes it. (Possibly Patroclus simply doesn’t recognize it or because he has taken tiny slips from the Lethe he doesn’t recall such a detail)

I love how people forget that a whole kingdom fell in love with Odysseus

Wow what a great idea Neoptolemus Mestor!!!!

Taken from a story from the Trojan War Chronicle by Dictys Cretensis. Within this story Peleus has been thrown from his land. In order to kill the usurpers, Neoptolemus dresses as one of his trojan slaves (Mestor the son of Priam) and proposes the idea that they should wipe out the whole bloodline and kill the sleeping Neoptolemus where he lies in a cave. After leading the traitors to the cave he surprises and kills them, allowing his grandfather to rule his lands once more.
