Quotes from HadesQuotes from Hades II

The following are quotes from Chaos in Hades.

First Meeting

Zagreus: "This is not someone I recognize... so, in the name of Hades! Erm, hello? May I ask who's calling?"

Chaos: "...The Olympians have all grown soft... would you not agree?"

Zagreus: "Erm... have we met?"

Chaos: "Oh, we have met, in a way. I know everybody, here, and there. You wish to leave this place? Then, it is my wish to make your doing so a little bit more interesting... and, if you encounter the Olympians someday, do give them my regards."

Keepsake Dialogue (Cosmic Egg)

Defeated Hades With Keepsake Equipped

Chaos: "I faintly sensed that you were able to confront your father while in possession of my small round catalyst. It seems my asking you, and your success, was in accordance with the Fates' design, as well. The result is more amusing even than expected. Thus, thank you."

Keepsake Equipped

Chaos: "I trust the small round catalyst which I provided you has been of value, Son of Hades? It is my hope it makes your journeys to this space less difficult, perhaps inducing them on a more frequent interval."

Seeing Zagreus at Low Health

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "It seems to me that you are very close to death, O Son of Hades, and yet you deigned to visit me within my space. I could hasten your demise, if you so choose?"

Dialogue 02

Chaos: "I almost did not notice you, O Son of Hades, for you are closer now to death than life. Perhaps, though, we can stave off the inevitable for a little while."

Dialogue 03

Chaos: "Your deaths are but a temporary setback, Son of Hades. Though it appears to me you are quite close to having such a setback, now."

Dialogue 04

Chaos: "Your next experience with death seems to be imminent, though let us see if I can hasten or forestall it."

Dialogue 05

Chaos: "It may seem cruel that I would wish you death, O Son of Hades. But from my perspective, it means you are much more likely to return to me."

Dialogue 06

Chaos: "Although you may succumb soon to your injuries, please make the most of your remaining life, rather than anticipate the next. The future is uncertain to all save the Fates."

About Characters

Persephone

Dialogue 01

Option A

Chaos: "Son of Hades, I believe I have deduced something I ought have sooner recognized. Your mother must have been one who called herself Persephone. Her stay within the Underworld was brief, from my perspective, but impactful, nonetheless. You seek her now? Respond."

Zagreus: "I do. She's somewhere on the surface. That's why I keep on finding you like this. I'm trying to find her."

Chaos: "I hope that your attempts achieve success. She is beyond my senses, presently, though of course I am still able to assist you in your journey, thus."

Option B

Chaos: "Son of Hades, I believe I have deduced something I ought have sooner recognized. Your mother must have been one who called herself Persephone. Her stay within the Underworld was brief, from my perspective, but impactful, nonetheless. You seek her now? Respond."

Zagreus: "Oh, Master Chaos... you should know I have located her, already. Though where she is, I cannot stay for long. So I am visiting, as often as I can. It's... not unlike our visits here. Only, somehow, even harder to get to where she is."

Chaos: "I see. Then, it is good to know that you have been in contact. And I trust that your successive visits shall be worth their while. Not unlike our visits here."

Dialogue 02

Chaos: "Son of Hades, if you locate the one who called herself Persephone, shall it then come to pass that we no longer see each other in this way? Respond."

Zagreus: "Oh! I... Master Chaos, I don't know what to expect from there. But, to be direct with you, if I could leave the Underworld forever... I think I would. Though, I would miss you. Many others here."

Chaos: "...I would miss you as well. Thank you for telling me."

Hades

Chaos: "Your father and his brothers, when they sealed the Titans in the darkest reaches of this world, that was the last they saw of me, as well. You are dissimilar from them, and I feel safe communicating thus with you."

Nyx

Dialogue 01 (Before Triggering Quest)

Chaos: "I understand that Zeus and all his kin on Mount Olympus think that you are born of Hades and the goddess Nyx? I was amused to learn of this deception. Nyx has mothered many of the Underworld's own, so, why not you?"

Zagreus: "She isn't my birthmother, no, but she is like a mother to me. Do you know her?"

Chaos: "Oh, I know the goddess Nyx quite well, of course. Though, it has been a while since we last communicated, and I fear... well, I was not the charitable sort, back then. It is my hope that Nyx is faring well."

Dialogue 02 (Before Triggering Quest)

Chaos: "I knew you would arrive. But only in the moments prior to the fact. Thus, I am experiencing residual surprise. Your movements through the Underworld are as though a veil of darkness enshrouds you. The goddess Nyx's influence, perhaps? Respond."

Zagreus: "I... do not know how to respond to that, exactly, Master Chaos, but, Nyx, yes, she has been aiding me, in my attempts to flee my father's realm."

Chaos: "You move in darkness, not as infinitely black as hers, but reminiscent to me, nonetheless. I would invite her to try to elude me, and then attempt to locate her. A minor amusement for the both of us. Now, I have you for this, I see."

Dialogue 03 (Before Triggering Quest)

Chaos: "I was at times uncharitable with the goddess Nyx, when we were closer, long ago. After she bore her first children, I nevertheless expected her attention to remain undivided. I kept creating. When finally I slowed, I realized my mistake. But our connection had been severed, by that point."

Dialogue 04 (Before Triggering Quest)

Chaos: "Son of Hades, should eventually you spawn your own offspring... I recommend maintaining sub-infinite distances with them in space and time. Even if they are most tiresome, there always seems to come a point when one wishes to be in their presence once again."

Dialogue 05 (Before Restoring the Eldest Sigil)

Chaos: "After some consideration, and on your recommendation, I attempted lately to make contact with the goddess Nyx again. She is quite distant from me now, of course. If you happen to know... did she receive the message well? Respond."

Zagreus: "Well, Master Chaos, she can be a little difficult to read at times, but... I got the impression she was quite surprised, even excited to have heard from you again. She said that she would think about how to respond. Or, whether to respond."

Chaos: "I see. Well, she shall find a way, if it is warranted. I always did expect the world from her. There were times when I expected her to shine as bright as day, though she is Night. When she achieved a certain level of ability... she left. And I could not find her."

Dialogue 06 (Before Restoring the Eldest Sigil)

Chaos: "I sense that something is the matter, Son of Hades. Speak, then, what is on your mind? I can decipher some of it without your telling though would rather hear it from you voluntarily."

Zagreus: "Erm, Master Chaos? The goddess Nyx, she... seems to want to speak with you again. I wonder, would you maybe contact her sometime? She seems convinced it is your move to make if you so choose."

Chaos: "The goddess Nyx wishes to hear from me...? Now that is unexpected, Son of Hades, and I wonder if, perhaps, this is a jest of yours. Though, your intentions evidently are sincere. Then, I shall make no promises in this, except that... I am considering the possibility."

Dialogue 07 (After Restoring the Eldest Sigil)

Chaos: "I have detected some unusual activity within the reaches of the Underworld, Son of Hades... vast sums of Darkness, collected in an ancient catalyst, which I see now almost like a beacon, shining in the night. This either is the work of Nyx, or you, or both. I am anticipating the result."

Dialogue 08 (After Nyx's First Visit)

Chaos: "It pleases me immensely, Son of Hades, to have seen the goddess Nyx again. The significant amount of time that has elapsed since last this happened dulled sufficiently old pains, I think. Thus, it becomes a basis on which our connection may, in time, take shape again."

Dialogue 09 (After Nyx's Visits)

Chaos: "My daughter, the goddess Nyx. When I learned the Olympians mistakenly assumed she was your mother, I did not fully consider the possibility that she essentially was a mother to you... the technicality of birth, aside. She cares for you to the extent a mother can."

Dialogue 10 (After Nyx's Visits)

Chaos: "Prior to your intervention, Son of Hades, I expected that the goddess Nyx had forgotten about me... whether purposefully, or from passage of time. I believed that to be forgotten was the one true inevitability. Perhaps, however, I was incorrect."

Dialogue 11 (After Nyx's Visits)

Chaos: "I find that it is difficult maintaining my connection with many consciousnesses, such as yours, and that of the goddess Nyx. Yet I am also finding that this difficulty is fully warranted. Our connections give me much to consider as I await our next exchange."

The Fates

Chaos: "How strange it is to be subjected to the Fates. But do not fall into the cognitive delusion that they have already made your choices for you, Son of Hades. Rather, they are keen about anticipating every choice that everyone shall make. Such as the following."

Olympians

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "You have met many of the Olympians by now, each spurring you toward their mountaintop. They place such value on familial bonds, yet none of them remember who I am. Do not place too much faith in them, O Son of Hades."

Dialogue 02

Chaos: "I ask you listen but not speak, O Son of Hades, whilst the Olympians? They do not ask at all. They merely send their messages to you, unprompted, providing a choice of blessing, but no say. I seek to understand their point of view. But it is difficult."

Dialogue 03

Chaos: "When you extend an offering to the Olympians, for a fleeting instant, it appears as though they are able to hear your prayer. Or so I have observed. How interesting that your thoughts are capable of breaking free, yet you cannot."

Zeus

Chaos: "You bear the blessing of the great Lord Zeus. He still believes he holds dominion over both heaven and earth. I think, perhaps, he has forgotten about me."

Aphrodite

Chaos: "The charms of goddess Aphrodite are upon you unmistakably, although I shall be curious to see if her command over one's sense of love shall have any effect beneath the earth."

Artemis

Chaos: "I understand the hunting-goddess Artemis recently has turned her gaze towards you. It is unexpected she would offer her assistance, even to a relative in need."

Athena

Chaos: "This wise goddess Athena has imbued you with her charms, I see, O Son of Hades. Perhaps to her you are a tool with which her broken family may as yet be mended."

Ares

Chaos: "It is not unexpected that you consorted with the violent Ares, and now bear his Boon. He still worships me, you know; yet, I would say he does not know me very well."

Dionysus

Chaos: "The drunkard Dionysus offered you his services, I see? He can be rather unpredictable, and therefore offers me a source of some amusement."

Hermes

Chaos: "Swift Hermes spurs you on, I see, O Son of Hades. Beware the narrow distance between hastiness and swiftness; a distinction I am not so sure the god of travel fully understands."

Poseidon

Chaos: "Lord Poseidon offered you his blessing, it would seem. He can be rather boastful and belligerent, exhibiting the most unattractive manners of your father and Lord Zeus alike."

Demeter

Chaos: "Embittered Demeter has reached you, hasn't she? She once was full of warmth, you know; but lately, as I understand, she is more prone to taking it away."

Being Invited to the House of Hades (Pre-Epilogue)

Chaos: "Again I sensed some sort of shifting in your father's residence. You seek to ask something of me about it, do you not? Respond."

Zagreus: "Oh, I'm glad you asked, it's just... my mother, she's... we're reaching out to the Olympians. Trying to reconnect the family. It's been a while, relatively, since she and Father saw the others, but... in case a gathering occurs, I did wish you to know you're cordially invited, too."

Chaos: "Cordially invited...? A generous proposal, Son of Hades, though unless your gathering is to occur within my space, please understand it would be difficult for me to bring the full entirety of my presence there. However... I think I can arrange to be with you in some capacity. Thank you."

Post-Epilogue Dialogue

Dialogue 01 (Invited)

Chaos: "It pleases me your gathering of the Olympians occurred. I must inform you... I had never once before detected quite so many of my offspring in a single space. At least not without violent intent. I appreciate that you included me, and that you have returned. Shall we continue, then?"

Dialogue 02 (Not Invited)

Chaos: "It pleases me your gathering of the Olympians occurred. I must inform you... I had never once before detected quite so many of my offspring in a single space. At least not without violent intent."

Miscellaneous Conversations

Zagreus Improving the Mirror of Night

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "Such darkness emanates from you, O Son of Hades, that I once again did not entirely anticipate you would arrive just now. I suspect even your father must have difficulty keeping track of you through the domain he calls his own."

Dialogue 02

Chaos: "You move in darkness, practically unseen, Son of Hades. It is quite difficult even for me to sense your presence at times. The Olympians catch their glimpses now and then. But you are always in a shroud. Thus is the influence of Nyx."

Buying Boon at Charon's Shop

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "Perhaps you did not think that I would seek you out among the boatman Charon's trifles, which precisely is the reason I have done it."

Dialogue 02

Chaos: "The boatman Charon understands my whims, and his loyalty is purchased easily by one for whom base wealth is meaningless, so, I am here."

About Nyx's Keepsake

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "You have arrived within a certain shroud of darkness, Son of Hades. The goddess Nyx's ancient shawl. I had not sensed its void in a considerable amount of time."

Post-Flashback Dialogue

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "Have you grown trusting yet of the Olympians, for all their generosity? Perhaps you ought to let them know the truth about your journey's goal. They are vain, and think that it is them you seek."

Zagreus: "I'll never get out of here if not for their help, but... I can't let them know about Mother. She wants to remain hidden from them."

Chaos: "A difficult position to be in, Son of Hades. The Olympians may not appreciate being misled. But you can trust that I shall keep your secret. I wish to see how your predicament plays out."

Post-Ending Dialogue

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "Lately, Son of Hades, I have sensed what I would call a sort of shift within your father's residence. Did something noteworthy occur, perhaps? Respond."

Zagreus: "Master Chaos, it's Persephone, my mother. She's returned! She's chosen to return. So... things feel different, certainly, with her around, although... I didn't feel any sort of shift."

Chaos: "You may not sense these shifts as I. The lightness of this space bends and adjusts with time. What you describe... it must have been the cause. I trust that the occasion is a welcome one. And I am pleased that you returned, nevertheless."

Dialogue 02

Chaos: "Tell me something, Son of Hades. If the one who called herself Persephone is back, then... why do you continue to return? Respond."

Zagreus: "Master Chaos, it seems I've developed something of a talent around breaking out of here. Or, there, I mean, the Underworld, so... it's become more of an official role for me, I guess. If escape shouldn't be possible, then someone needs to find the gaps."

Chaos: "Indeed. Then, you shall visit with me still, despite accomplishing the principal object of your journey back when first we met. Good."

About Responding

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "As we become acquainted, Son of Hades, I shall make myself quite clear in one respect: I fear I have a lack of patience for discussion. When visiting, please merely listen, then accept my mark, and then depart. Respond only when necessary. Or when prompted. Yes?"

Zagreus: "...Merely listen, so it's just like when I get those messages from the Olympians. Wait, you did just prompt me, Master Chaos, didn't you? Or should I have remained silent just now?"

Chaos: "I cannot offer you advice. But you were prompted, yes. You may speak freely, then, or anytime, despite my wishes that you not do so. Absolute silence is my general preference. It may not be yours."

About Infinity

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "I sense your consternation, Son of Hades, as you look about this space; you have another question, and are free to ask."

Zagreus: "Oh, it's just... I sometimes wonder, Master Chaos... if you created all of this, then... who created you? What was this place before you arrived?"

Chaos: "All of this simply came to be, and so did I, presumably after a former time had finally reached its end. I hesitate to say it was an act of will. It was more like a sudden shift, as when a conflagration happens from a spark. I arrived at such a time, and all else then arrived, from me."

About Death

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "When you expire, and then suddenly return to life within your father's residence, perhaps it is akin to when I first gained consciousness so long ago. Perhaps I, too, had just expired, only to reawaken."

About Discovery

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "You may have wondered, Son of Hades, how it is you came to find me in this space, when I have gone unseen by most for quite some time. I have wondered this, as well, and think that our connection to Goddess Nyx is the most likely answer."

About Fishing (Legendary Catch)

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "I am impressed that you were able to procure a specimen out from the flowing currents here in my domain, with nothing but a simple instrument. I shall look forward to your subsequent attempts."

About The Styx

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "You have traveled recently beyond my senses, Son of Hades. I persist here only in the fathomless depths. I know what lies out there, having created it. But I know nothing of what it is like, right now. Do not tell me. I prefer to think of all the possibilities."

About Zagreus' Task

Dialogue 01

Chaos: "From the rumblings of the earth, I have deduced your father, himself, stands against you when at last you are about to leave these depths. It must be quite an interaction between you. Have I deduced correctly? Respond."

Zagreus: "That's right, Master Chaos. My father personally takes it upon himself to stop me in the event none of his underlings beat him to it. He... can be a handful."

Chaos: "Well, then. Consider bringing to one of your future interactions the small round catalyst, which I provided you. The one in the shape you call an egg? It shall serve no purpose there at all. Yet if you succeed, then it shall bring us some amusement, shall it not?"

About Weapons

Dialogue 01 (Aegis)

Chaos: "You come to my domain bearing an all-seeing artifact that sprang from me after the dawn of time. It is considered a defensive instrument, I do believe. Though, I suspect you have discovered, or soon shall discover, it is nothing of the sort."

About Aspects

Dialogue 01 (Aspect of Beowul)

Chaos: "I sense that you have not yet spoken with the all-seeing artifact you call Aegis. Tamper with the Fates' design, then, all you like. But if you change your mind, do speak the words to it: I see you stand your ground against the serpent's flame."

Dialogue 02 (Aspect of Beowul)

Chaos: "You have not yet used the waking-phrase that I imparted? Or perhaps you merely chose not to present me the result. I would quite like to see it, at some point. Remember, Son of Hades: Say to the all-seeing artifact, I see you stand your ground against the serpent's flame."

Dialogue 03 (Aspect of Beowul)

Chaos: "Out of the infinitely spanning possibilities, here before me stands the Son of Hades, bearing my all-seeing artifact, appearing in the aspect of a bearer yet unborn, who shall be known throughout the north as Beowulf. How very droll."

Dialogue 04 (Aspect of Beowul)

Chaos: "I bear a message for you, Son of Hades. One recorded in an age when certain concepts it describes did not yet all exist. Remember this: I see you stand your ground against the serpent's flame. A waking-phrase, to which you and the all-seeing artifact of my creation may respond."

Zagreus: "A waking-phrase... and an all-seeing artifact, you must mean Aegis, right? So I'm to say to it, I see you stand your ground against the serpent's flame, and it'll wake right up. Though, can you tell me what it means, or who?"

Chaos: "Oh, I can tell you almost anything. However, I would much prefer it if you learned most of the answers you seek by yourself."

Dialogue 05 (Aspect of Chaos)

Chaos: "I expected your arrival, Son of Hades. For I am able to see through you. Rather, through the all-seeing artifact, which sprang from me after the dawn of time, and now resembles, in your hands, its foremost form. Respond."

Zagreus: "What, you must mean the Shield of Chaos, here? Your shield, Master Chaos, I should say. It's a remarkable artifact. Imposing, too! Your original creations must have been astounding."

Chaos: "Your response is acceptable. And I am grateful to have had my recent firsthand glimpses of this vast domain."

Dialogue 05 (Aspect of Zeus)

Chaos: "Ah, you have that all-seeing artifact of mine, but in the old guise that the great Lord Zeus once used when he retaliated violently against his parentage. I watched his movements through it for some time."

Gifts

Nectar

1st Time

Zagreus: "Master Chaos? Everyone makes offerings to my relatives upon Olympus. I wish to make an offering to you. Thank you for... everything."

Chaos: "How droll of you to make attempts to tempt me with material things. Here, then, please in turn allow me this attempt at reciprocity."

Chaos gives Zagreus the Cosmic Egg.

Zagreus: "Master Chaos, thank you."

2nd Time

Zagreus: "This is for you, Master Chaos. Everyone beneath the heavens and earth enjoys this stuff."

Chaos: "You honor me in making such an offering, though please; it is not necessary to endear yourself using material means, for it is the thought alone which counts."

3rd Time

Zagreus: "Master Chaos, forebear of the gods, it is an honor to have met you. Please, accept this gift."

Chaos: "Seldom do mortals or immortals think of making offerings to me. As I do not expect such token gestures, I am very much amused, and I accept."

4th Time

Zagreus: "Master Chaos, I pledge never to forget you or your good graces. May your wisdom and your whim forever guide me."

Chaos: "Is this an offering of fealty or friendship, Son of Hades? I do not wish to know from you the answer, so that I might dwell on it and all the possibilities."

5th Time

Zagreus: "I'm ever-grateful that my journeys through the Underworld mean that we can get to know each other, Master Chaos."

Chaos: "Your repeated generosity with me is starting to become a bit predictable, and yet... somehow, I nonetheless appreciate it, still. How very odd."

6th Time

Zagreus: "Master Chaos, it's little wonder all existence sprang from you, because I see the noble qualities in so many I've met embodied in you. Please, accept this gift."

Chaos: "If it is unclear yet, Son of Hades, I shall not be giving more to you in exchange for your repeated offerings. You give them to me knowing it shall serve no purpose and achieve no end. I know that there are some among both mortals and your kind for whom this is quite unacceptable."

Ambrosia

1st Time

Zagreus: "This is the greatest delicacy of Olympus, Master Chaos. It's for you. I think normally it would be difficult for the Olympians to get it to you here."

Chaos: "You make an even greater offering to me, knowing it shall produce no material result. You are aware that I am not persuadable? Yours is a squandering of resources and time. Although, of course, we do have each of these in great supply. Now then, respond."

Zagreus: "...I just think the act of giving isn't quite the same as an exchange. I know I won't be getting any sort of other talisman or something in return. But, through these offerings, I can express my thanks. That's worth it by itself."

Chaos: "...I see. So then, the action is akin to theft. For you are getting something in return that I did not intend to give. I still have much to learn from my creations, Son of Hades. So let us say that we have made an even trade. My learning for your worth."

2nd Time

Zagreus: "If you'll forgive me, Master Chaos, this Ambrosia is intended to be given to those whom I care about, and I can think of few recipients I'd like to have it more. Please."

Chaos: "I shall accept this, as a final offering, O Son of Hades. For I have given it additional consideration, and decided that my previous analysis of your intentions was too narrow, too inaccurate. And, I regret comparing what you have been doing to an act of theft. Respond?"

Zagreus: "Don't even mention it, please, Master Chaos. All of this is new for me, as well. I try never to overanalyze... my father does enough of that for all of us. I just know, when I encounter the primordial creator, I am going to give thanks. For everything."

Chaos: "...I see. Then, your response is quite acceptable. And, since the act of giving is not an exchange, let us say that you already had my gratitude."
