Conversations with Zagreus
Asterius: "You bested the Champion, himself. Which means that I have little hope of vanquishing you, here." Zagreus: "So then, why bother fighting me? You don't have to do this. That Theseus is a highly questionable influence on you!" Asterius: "I see you plain, short one. I, too, was born of darkness. But, I chose the path of light. Even in death, it was not too late.  Not even for a monster, such as I. I trust your deaths will likewise be enlightening." - After defeating Theseus and Asterius on the prior escape attempt.

Asterius: "Thank you for sparring with me, short one. I'm glad we've made a habit of it thus." Zagreus: "See you soon!" - Can occur after defeating Asterius solo.

Asterius: "You must take pleasure in having to fight against me, short one. I, too, have come to look forward to it. Even if I end up falling to your strength." Zagreus: "Oh, I was going to say, I'd much prefer we settle this more amicably, couldn't we? Perhaps I could interest you in a fine bottle of Nectar? Ambrosia, even?" Asterius: "No, thank you. These battles are enough. Besides... you won that Ambrosia from us, fair and square." - Can occur while having Nectar and Ambrosia in inventory.

Asterius: "Huh. You mean to fight with me bare-handed this time, short one? I'm not ashamed to say the Champion himself defeated me in such a manner back when we drew breath." Zagreus: "Wouldn't say the Twin Fists of Malphon counts as empty-handed, sir, though it surprises me to hear you could be beaten in such a way. Asterius: "I was hungry and unprepared. Inexperienced. No longer. Come." - First time fighting Asterius with the Twin Fists of Malphon.
