From all of us at Supergiant Games, thank you for playing Hades II. We've been very excited to see so many of you battling beyond the Underworld since our v1.0 Launch, and we're grateful for all the feedback, which inspired us throughout development and continues to do so. We now have our Post-Launch Patch 1, with enhancements to the True Ending among other improvements, available to preview: How to Play the Patch 1 PreviewFirst, we recommend backing up your save files, since the Patch 1...
the idea to spare chronos comes from melinoe. in the normal ending, zagreus spares him and melinoe gets very upset while zagreus tells her to get over it.
Melinoe keeps her memories of the alternate universe where she grew up with her family. in the normal ending she was robbed from any sort of happy ending while everyone around her (including chronos) remembers her living happily in the house of hades. we also get a new cutscene showing her grow up with her brother.
there’s more dialogue in general to flesh out the ending and her relationship with her family.
I’m curious, because I just “beat” the game last night. I’ll try to be spoiler free, but if someone hasn’t beaten the game, don’t read on. Is the “true ending” what you get when you go up, do the thing, and then go down and do the other thing? Like, when you get the achievement? Or is it related to finding the missing threads, so to speak? I’m just curious on if I’ve already seen the ending that’s been changed, or if there is more.

Without spoiling anything, it’s so much better. Supergiant have managed to fix my biggest issues with it
I don’t really have time to watch this ending - how does it go? What’s different from the original?
I don’t mind spoilers, I’m not playing the game. I just have been watching a friend who really didn’t like the original ending.
ending spoilers
Ahh. Nice! Thanks for the info. This sounds a lot better imo.
Ahh this sounds so much better. I’ll have to make time to replay the end myself.

I was petty frustrated that Zag essentially stole the final decision from Mel. That didn’t sit right with me.

If a young mel plays hide and seek, that was part of the ending scenes
Gotcha, that’s what I saw. Thanks.
