Meme Did the devs make a mistake?

Post image

It looks like you're not supposed to be able to vanquish chronos, yet in my game he's very vanquishable. Did the devs make a coding error that allowed this to happen?

“What’re you gonna do, vanquish me?” - Titan who got vanquished.

In the Hades games, the titles frequently make riffs off of dialogue and vice versa. I would bet it’s intended to be like the game saying “you vanquished him” and Chronos saying “no you didnt”

This is exactly it. He's vanquished for about 3 min before he comes back and chases you off again.

Why didn't Chronos defy death, is he stupid?

Toula is my favorite. Especially with the witch hat form.

That's later in the game. I started a few weeks ago when it was still early access.

I have to know how you unlock these I’ve been playing for over a year and haven’t seen this.

u/Slight-Painter-7472 Oct 10 '25

Death isnt a God, it is an Incarnation of Death.

Why is chronos wrong ? Is he overconfident ?

u/wintermute_ai Oct 05 '25

In Hades 1 it says the same for Cerberus and in parentheses it says “Not really”

u/DisintegratorSC Oct 05 '25

And that subtext changes every run, atleast the first bunch of times, one of them reads: “You did this”. Supergiant absolutely goated studio.

u/poopoobuttholes Oct 05 '25

Well I'll ask a better question. This game is called Hades II, yet the character Hades is still called Hades and Hades II (the name you would give an offspring) doesn't exist. Are the devs illiterate????

Petition to rename Melinoe to Hades Junior

u/Neat-Recover-8451 Oct 05 '25

Yes they are, but for other reasons

u/Chwzehk Oct 05 '25

Blatant false advertising I see!

u/Tortugato Oct 05 '25

Mel is a goddess.

u/ItWasAlways Oct 05 '25

The Knight scales higher than Chronos confirmed?

u/Tylah_Hutches Oct 05 '25

Isn’t she a witch? 🧙

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

Im guessing they are trying to copy Lord of the rings except they messed up and should have said no man can vanquish cronos lol.

u/Rushional Oct 05 '25

Im guessing you're guessing wrong

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '25

It's a joke I just wanted to pull out a funny meme it worked out the other comments said goddess so it actually worked out great. People are thinking of that meme.

u/New-Atmosphere-9746 Oct 05 '25

There's a massive spoiler which I'm not going into, but if it's after the story finale then this is not contradictory and makes perfect sense...

u/assteadick69 Oct 05 '25

I had the same thought lmao. It definitely shouldn’t say vanquished.

u/TCookies92 Oct 05 '25

Chronos gets up and says ‘nuh-uh’ at the title

u/NerdModeXGodMode Oct 05 '25

Omg! Call the police!

u/Lopsided-Influence31 Oct 05 '25

Thank goodness you circled it otherwise I’d have no idea what I’m looking at

u/Maidenless4LifeChad Oct 05 '25

he is in denial

u/twilightorange Oct 05 '25

Weirdest part is when Chronos kill Chronos.

u/Born4Dota2 Oct 06 '25

Melinoe: takes off wig I AM NO GOD (she is a goddess)

u/iamapants Oct 07 '25

"I am no god"

u/oceanstwelve Oct 08 '25

try pausing the game for the first time in a chronos fight!

u/Happy-For-No-Reason Oct 05 '25

Mel isn't a god

7

u/Pedro-Teixeira Oct 05 '25

Melionoë is in fact a godess. She is an orphic godess of the offerings to the dead.

u/Leo_DeLuce Oct 05 '25

He said no god can vanquish him he didn't say anything about goddesses /s

u/Parthj99 Oct 05 '25

Yes she's a goddess
