Hades Zeus - Tumblr Posts

Fun Fact, before Hades 2 trailer came out, I did a few designs of what Apollo would look like. After brainstorming with my sis (who also plays Hades), I decided with this design and make Apollo have a quest. 

So, after reuniting the Olympians, Zagreus would enter a fountain room in Asphodel where he met a god named Apollo. Apollo here would give you 3 choices of healing bonuses (regen, double health, etc). After meeting him a few times and giving him nectars, Apollo would slowly opens up and Zagreus finds out why he was in the underworld. Apparently, his powers of the plagues were getting unstable, and Zeus secretly sends him there since it was away from all living things. 

After telling Hades and with the permission of Persephone, Zagreus plans brings Apollo to the cottage when he mentioned of missing the sunrise (with the promise of staying away from any living organics.) However, Apollo was hesitance, saying that he was worried that his family are trying to find him only to find the room empty. From there, Apollo would stay in the fountain room until certain tasks have been fulfilled. 

full hearts with Hermes, Dionysus and Artemis:  Hermes will give Zagreus a harp to give it to Apollo with a message saying that they missed him. When Zagreus gives him the harp, Apollo will get angry. (remember, his emotions are still unstable at the time)

“Why?! Why go all the trouble of helping another god escaped when they could’ve helped me?!” - Apollo

 Apollo will then accept Zagreus’s offer to go to the cottage. He will then give him a cow plush named ‘Mimi’. Apollo explained that he has placed his essence inside the plush and all he needs to do is bring it to the cottage and he might be able use it as a waymark. During the travel, Zagreus can now call Apollo for help 3 times.

 “The essence inside the plush is only enough for me to teleport outside the Underworld, use it wisely Zagreus.” - Apollo

Apollo’s Legendary Keepsakes: If Zagreus’s health is above 50%, Apollo will go into offensive. However, if Zagreus’s health is below 50%, Apollo will go into defensive.

 After bringing Apollo towards the cottage, Zagreus was about to give the plush back when Apollo told him to keep it. Saying that if he ever needs helped, he knew who to call. 

Unlock excess to the Cottage and interreact with Apollo

After that, whenever you encounter Artemis, Dionysus, or Hermes, they would ask questions regarding Apollo and Zagreus will act clueless through the whole thing. After encountering Artemis, Dionysus, and Hermes a few more times, a specific dialogue will trigger where Zagreus learns the other side of the conversation. Apparently, there is a misunderstanding and it’s up to Zagreus to help the four gods.

 Unlock the quest, “Reunite the Siblings”

 After using Apollo’s call 20 times: Apollo will suddenly change apperance, and his tittle will change to the ‘God of Healing’.

With Apollo’s mindset back to normal and more controlled, Zagreus consults him about what he learned from the 3 gods and what really happening. After listening to him, Apollo will admit to missing his siblings and wishes to return to reunite with them.

If you have Hermes, Dionysus and Artemis boons only along with Apollo’s Keepsakes you will unlock a secret boss fight with Zeus who tries to stop you from fully freeing Apollo. 

After defeating Zeus and reuniting the siblings, Zagreus will gain special duo boons between Apollo and in between Artemis, Dionysus, or Hermes. From then on, whenever Zagreus enters the cottage, you could see Apollo talking with either Artemis, Dionysus or Hermes and sometimes all three. 

also, whenever Zagreus gets a Zeus boon, he will try to hide his annoyance (since he knew what the god had done to his own son). 

So yeah, that was the ideas that I have done for this AU ^^
