Aetos is Prometheus's eagle companion. They first were in charge of eating his liver repeatedly as punishment for Prometheus' hubris, but have since bonded and sided with him.
Characteristics and Personality[]
Aetos is seemingly obedient to its master Prometheus, but aside from this, it has the mind and predatory instincts of a regular eagle.
Physical Description[]
Aetos is a large golden eagle with bright yellow plumage and piercing blue eyes atypical of its species. It has incredible strength and speed far exceeding ordinary birds. This is likely due to its aeons of continuous feasting on divine flesh.
Gameplay[]
Aetos is a gameplay element of some fights on Mount Olympus. It will always appear in one standard Encounter, chosen at random, in a player's first visit to the area. A special cutscene will forewarn of its arrival. After this, it has a small chance to appear shortly after the beginning of any standard Encounter on Mount Olympus, once per run. Additionally, it will always appear in the boss encounter against Prometheus.
Aetos acts as an enemy that cannot be damaged or killed. Its presence in normal fights does not offer any additional rewards. When it appears, it will touch down at a point near enough to Melinoƫ that she is within the range of its first attack and, after a short delay, use the following attacks in this order. The only exception is at the beginning of the Prometheus fight, when it will start at his location and use the Strike attack first instead.
- Spin: Aetos spins in place, dealing damage in a small circle.
- Strike: Aetos dashes at Melinoƫ, inflicting heavy damage and a short stun if it makes contact.
- Air Blast: Aetos shoots 6 blasts of air in a hexagonal formation centered on itself.
Aetos will then leave the fight. In the Prometheus fight, it will return after a random duration.
