Let's try Bouldy's Keepsake! | Hades | Welcome to Hell

We level up Zeus's shield and see if we can make something of it! We end up finding a lot of curses and the result is pretty amazing! Thanks for tuning in!

The WELCOME to HELL Update -

Welcome to our eighth Major Update, filled with new content and features for our early adopters as well as new players delving into the Underworld for the first time!

• New Story Events: we have added more new narrative events & voice lines than any previous update!

General Gameplay

• Updated requirements for when many characters and game systems are introduced, to pace out the early-to-mid-game better; Orpheus, Chaos, Alecto, Tisiphone, and Thanatos can be revealed sooner
