Not even the wise gods can make him cease to be...

Magisa, a Tiamat oracle

Hades is the king of demons, and the ruler of Utgard, being Asgard's greatest enemy and threat. He was also known as Zolgonark who started the great war of Ragnarok, which resulted in the Gods' demise. Despite being nothing more than a remnant of his former power wasting away in a weaker body, Hades is the toughest boss in the entire game and you'll need to pull out all the stops to defeat him.

Profile[]

Riviera: The Promised Land[]

Hades is a secret post-game boss that can be fought in the GBA and PSP versions during Chapter 8 - The Underworld; to access this chapter you must obtain the Key to Hell in Mireno Cemetery. In the PSP version, one must go through the entirety of Parveeju Temple before reaching Hades; in the GBA version, he is simply encountered and fought. In the PSP version, it is possible for Ein to be accompanied by Ledah instead of the girls if certain requirements are met first.

Knights in the Nightmare[]

Hades is the title of Zolgonark, a very powerful demon summoned by Capehorn and Yelma through a ritual.

The Dept. Heaven Episodes World Guidance guide elaborates that after his defeat in Aventheim, the remnants of Zolgonark escaped back to the underworld. They are the weakened form of Hades seen in Riviera.

Gungnir[]

In the English version of Gungnir, Hades is used interchangeably as a name for the Underworld. It is mentioned by Elise after the encounter with Isabeli, a necromancer who is after Gungnir.

Later, Elise deduces Isabeli is interested in Gungnir as the means to open a Gate to the Underworld and loose chaos, thus furthering Hades' agenda.

Battle[]

Hades

Hades is the most powerful boss in the game statistically, sporting HP so high that it shows up as ??? for the majority of the battle. Much like Ledah, he regenerates a small fraction of his HP during his turn. With careful character and item selecting, defeating him will not be too difficult. Hades himself has several attacks such as Dark Breath (hits all party members), Wing Attack (hits one party member) and his Break Out!, Curse of Chaos (heavy damaging attack that hits the entire group).

Although powerful, Hades is slow and has a high WT penalty, allowing Fia to keep up with his damage with the Book of Kirie.

Quotes[]

  • "That'll hurt me." (taking damage)
  • RAAAH! (Dark Breath)
  • "Eternal darkness shall take you. Curse of Chaos!" (Break Out!)
  • "Fall into darkness!" (Break Out!)
  • Arrrrrgh... I will not perish... Not until I control all the world... My will... shall never... di...e... ... (post-battle)

Trivia[]

Lairofhades

The bones of Hades

  • In Riviera, Hades is a simple palette swap of the Zombie Dragon secret boss in Mireno Cemetery. Further still, his ingame sprite is dark blue yet his artwork is purple, which wasn't corrected in the PSP version.
  • The remains of Hades' actual body can be seen in the background before the battle. Although his manifestation appears to be about the size of the party or the Accursed, at full size he dwarfs the party and approaches Zolgonark's scale.
  • In the Japanese PSP release of the game, Hades was voiced by the same voice actor (Fukuhara Kōhei) as Graham and Death[1].
