Revisit the Underworld with a Twist

So, you’ve sunk your teeth into Hades 2 and already logged over 100 hours? Wow, you must have been too busy slaying enemies and dodging traps to even think about your prophecy checklists. If you’ve exhausted every corner of the game, don’t fret! There’s fresh chaos to enjoy: a mod that enables you to relive the original Hades through the perspective of Melinoë, armed with the flashy combat perks of Hades 2!

The Zagreus Journey Mod

Introducing the Zagreus Journey mod! This nifty addition lets you jump into Hades 1 as Melinoë—instead of our brooding pal Zagreus—complete with a delightful array of powers and abilities from Hades 2. Imagine stepping back into Tartarus, where curses, shades, and pesky traps are just waiting to tango with you. The mod includes cool features like an extra Chaos Gate labeled “Descend into Nightmare”—because what’s more fun than a nightmarish descent into darkness?

As you plow through Tartarus, Asphodel, Elysium, and the Temple of Styx, prepare to enjoy the nostalgic tunes from the original soundtrack. But beware! Zagreus may still hang around during boss chats—ghosting you like an ex—but instead, it’ll be Melinoë hovering like a meme waiting to happen. In a twist that only the Underworld could offer, the Bone Hydra’s necks have decided to go invisible…talk about a rough makeover!

Planning to take on this epic journey? You’ll need both Hades games installed. The mod can be snagged from Thunderstore or GitHub, but make sure to ditch any other Hades mods you have before diving into the installation—because, you know, no one wants a mod clash!
