For all too brief a time, things are well in the House of Hades, and peace exists between Olympus and the Underworld. But when Zagreus makes a shattering discovery, the prince must risk the combined wrath of Heaven and Hell in his most desperate escape attempt yet... or all of mortalkind is doomed forever. (Set after the Epilogue - SPOILERS!)

All and all, Thanatos was used to worry. He carried it with him as readily as he carried his scythe, and it was equally a part of him. But even despite aeons of self-development, Death could not control the scorching panic that coursed through him as he grappled with a singular thought. Zagreus was missing.

Zagreus offers Megaera a journey through hell, with him as her escort to show her the surface. As they journey through forgotten memories are revealed, and truths come out.

The thing about loving the son of the god of the dead is that for a man with feet of literal fire, he can be so damned hard to pin down.

She has been known as many things: Kore, Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. Looking back on her life, all titles are empty and names ring hollow after a loss that has changed her irrevocably.

Achilles wrote the Codex to detail the lives and characteristics of gods, cthonics, monsters, and realms. But in the Codex, he is hesitant to tell his own tales but he does write them down. What starts as recommended therapy turns into something more. Herein is the diary of the greatest of Greeks: his life and glory in his own hand.

"Thanatos has been banished to Tartarus," Hades announced furiously. Zagreus flared up in a rage. "You really banished him? How dare you?" Hades drew a large hand over his face, exasperated. "No, you fool. The Pact banished him!" (Angst for undying Underworld gods who cannot be killed in a way that matters.)

Apollo decides to pay a visit to the God of Blood and Life to ask for a favor. To seek out someone he had loved and lost to the sudden clutches of Death. As Zagreus strives to complete his newest task of reuniting people, he also learns some important things along the way that prompts him to re-define what his role really is in his newfound godhood.

Zag didn't go back to the River when he was supposed to die. Meg and Than carry him there while watching him slip away.

After the foolish prince tampered with a specific condition upon the Pact of Punishment, the Furies are unwillingly brought together in order to fulfill the terms created via the pact. While not on good terms, the Furies must find a way to work together on a professional level to put an end to Zagreus' attempts of escaping the underworld... and perhaps heal their broken bond.

Zagreus finds himself stumbling, bloody and aching. He's tired but he's determined. But he stumbles and he falls. Luckily for him Thanatos is there to catch him.

Zag and Meg reflect on how far they've come since they met.

Plans were hatching quietly in his mind, knowing his fathers temper would be on him soon. Zagreus would have to do it alone, not wanting to get anyone else on the receiving end of Hades wrath when Zagreus was the one needing answers.

Meg was used to seeing Zag covered in blood, but usually that was after he came to fight her. She didn't expect him to come limping towards her already covered in scrapes, scratches and bruises.

Aphrodite gets a call from Zagreus and uses this opportunity to talk about what she knows best.

Asterius was resigned to his fate in Hell, then he met Theseus once again, in Elysium.

Asterius draws, and thinks, to get himself through the symposium he was dragged to.

Theseus tries to sort his feelings out on Naxos. He just can't escape the notion that he's made a horrible mistake. Maybe several mistakes.

Having naturally been sent to Tartarus for perpetuating abusive treatment of low level employees in the workplace and covering up the actions of rapists in his employ, Ubisoft CEO Eaves Guillemot (Original Character: Do Not Steal) applies his skills of publishing the last decade's worth of Tom Clancy games by monetizing the monotonous grind of eternal torture.

Hades tried. But he was… never really a good father. How could he be, with that reminder of all he'd lost always looking at him? A peek at his relationship with the boy while he was growing up.

Zagreus decides to bestow a gift on their lovable little maid far greater than any nectar. Something she's been missing for quite some time now.

Zagreus had climbed to the surface countless times, and despite helping in his mother's return and settling the drama with the Olympians, he couldn't quite get rid of the curiosity. The small voice in the back of his head wondered what it was like to roam about in the mortal realm and even Olympus. One day, he got his chance.
