In Hades 2, Zagreus is nowhere to be seen, with Melinoe stepping into the spotlight. She has her reasons for doing so, but it means Zagreus' presence is in question. Where is Zagreus in Hades 2? Judging by Hades 2's early access state, Zagreus is nowhere to be seen and isn't in the roguelike action title\u2014his only role in Hades 2 seems to be as part of a cutscene. Our only proper appearance of Zagreus in Hades 2 occurs once Melinoe dies and appears in the Crossroads for the first time. In her home area, there is a framed picture which, if you approach, gives Melinoe the option to \"brood.\" Doing so reveals a portrait of Hades, Zagreus, Persephone, and a child\u2014assumed to be Melinoe. She laments her family's fate as it's revealed Chronos has captured them and is holding them prisoner. Furthermore, PCGames has plowed through early access and found Zagreus doesn't physically appear in any capacity in Hades 2. But it doesn't mean Zagreus won't be in the final build once the full game is available. If anything changes, we'll update you. For now, check out the Hades 2 roadmap and how to get Limestone, Grasp, and Bones.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/hades-2-zagreus-guide-1-e1715069862807.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221092"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1221092"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1221284,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1221092\/revisions\/1221284"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1221103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1221092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1221092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1221092"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1221092"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1221092"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1221092"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1221092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
