CodexPortrait BiomeErebus

Erebus is the location where all the souls of the recently deceased initially arrive and wait before being taken to the rest of the Underworld. In Hades, Erebus is a bonus area accessed via the Infernal Gate or by fighting Charon's boss fight. In Hades II, Erebus is now a fully-fledged biome and is the first biome that Melinoë must fight through to reach the Underworld.

The following biome is Oceanus.

Codex Entry[]

Codex
''...If the dead excel at anything, it is having to wait. It is the first thing almost all the dead must do, upon arriving at the edges of this realm. Erebus, their waiting area, lies shrouded in darkness, betraying to the dead no hint of whether they shall continue their existence in the splendors of Elysium or in the pits of Tartarus. Some wretched souls, for a variety of reasons, remain in Erebus indefinitely. For these, the Master sometimes offers a condition of reprieve: to do his bidding or to wait, and wait, and wait awhile longer.''

Book of Shadows Entry[]

Codex
'Erebus has less fallen to ruin as it has returned to its more-natural state.
The Lost Souls that dwell there have nowhere left to go. They are well past the point where grieving for them is of any use.
'

Erebus is comprised of ??? chambers. The Chambers alternate between having one or two pathways.

Unique Chambers[]

Arachne's Chamber[]

When encountered, Arachne will offer Melinoë a brief conversation, and then grant her the Silken Fineries that gives Armor. In addition, Arachne's chamber will have 2-3 cocoons which sometimes have gold or enemies in them.

Cocooned Chamber[]

Cocoon Chamber

A Cocooned chamber.

After meeting Arachne for the first time there will a chance for a chamber to become cocooned during subsequent nights. In this chamber all enemies and the reward will be trapped in cocoons and will not spawn like regular encounters. In order to leave this chamber you will have to free the chamber's reward from one of the cocoons.

Nemesis Chamber[]

Nemesis Chamber

The chamber covered in bloodstains.

On certain chambers, Nemesis will have killed all the enemies. When this happens, she will ask you for a trade (giving up some item currency, being hit by her or hitting her for 1000 damage on a timer) for a random item.
