There’s a ton to find in the Abbadon 2 Specialized Playtest, including new story components and legends. Here’s the beginning and end we could find in the playtest:.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Melinoe is currently the hero of Abbadon 2, with Gehenna, Persephone, and Zagreus absent and logically held hostage by Chronos.
- Hermes is going about as a covert operative for Melinoe, showing a more profound degree of system and interest inside the Gehenna universe.
- The game is rich in moon symbolism, with characters like Hecate and Selene assuming key roles in the story, adding profundity to the legend.
Time has clearly elapsed in the universe between the arrival of the primary Abbadon game and Gehenna 2. Melinoe is the hero now, and Gehenna, Zagreus, and Persephone have apparently succumbed to some arrangement on account of Chronos.
Yet Melinoe has had sufficient opportunity to develop into a full grown-up, being raised by Hecate. Subsequently, there’s a ton of legend to get up to speed with for the people who were staying aware of everything occurring in the Abbadon universe. While not a ton is uncovered at the end of the day in the Gehenna 2 playtest, that is still a ton of data overall. In this way, how about we turn out all the legend drops found in the Gehenna 2 Specialized Playtest?
Melinoe’s Arm
Turns Out She Wasn’t Born With Her Ghostly Arm
We should discuss Melinoe’s arm, most importantly. As anybody can find in any of the special material for Gehenna 2, Melinoe’s left arm is apparently ‘phantom’ with the real bones in her arm and hand being noticeable through the otherworldly substance.
In any case, when players gain sufficient headway in the Specialized Playtest, they get to encounter a flashback as Melinoe, where she plays, finds the stowaway with Hecate as a youngster. Furthermore, in that flashback, Melinoe has both of her arms totally unblemished. Thus, one can expect what is going on where her arm apparently occurred after Choronos did anything he did to Melinoe’s family, so her arm ‘circumstance’ likely wasn’t because of something Chronos did.
The Status Of The House Of Hades
Chronos Has Hades, Persephone, & Zagreus Captive
Next up, we should discuss one more clear change in Gehenna 2, the all-out absence of Abbadon, Persephone, or Zagreus. A great deal of characters reference the way that these three are gone and that it’s Chronos’ shortcoming. Be that as it may, the ones who reference them don’t talk as though they’re dead, more as though they’ve been taken, put away, or fixed away.
Thus, the normal expectation players appear to be making is that Chronos has Melinoe’s family hostage. Moreover, toward the end of the reveal trailer for Gehenna 2, viewers can likewise see Abbadon in a real sense tied up like a hostage, so it’s possible Melinoe will safeguard them throughout the span of her runs.
Hermes Is Working Undercover
He’s Playing All ‘Buddy-Buddy’ With Chronos
Of the multitude of divine forces of Olympus, just two knew about Melinoe since the days when she was extremely young, and those were Artemis and Hermes. Hecate kept her mysterious from every other person because of a paranoid fear of any divine beings pursuing rash choices or uncovering Melinoe to Chronos.
What’s more, while Artemis plays her own part in the Junction, Hermes does as well. Fans figure out through a wide range of discussions that Hermes is really filling the role of a government operative inside Chronos’ powers, as Melinoe is unimaginably stressed for his security. It’ll be fascinating to check whether he appears as a divine being who can give shelter at last, as in the main game, or, on the other hand, whether they’ll keep him completely out of the loop this time around. One thing is without a doubt: he probably won’t be one of the game’s sentimental choices.
The Moon Iconography
Tons of Moon Symbology Everywhere
This is really clear right all along, to some degree outwardly; however, there is a ton of moon symbolism to be seen in a considerable lot of the person’s plans for Abbadon 2. Both Hecate and Melinoe have sickle moons all around their plans; a big part of the Greek divine beings have moons in their plans; the actual game happens throughout an ‘evening time (which is by all accounts either eased back or halted because of Chronos), and the goddess of the moon herself (otherwise known as Selene) shows up in the playtest as one of the divine beings Melinoe can get help from.
Moreover, the overwhelming majority of similar characters with this moon symbology likewise have these scarves or strings on them that have an example of dark, orange, blue, and afterward green. The most widely recognized supposition about these common things is that they’re all important for a similar gathering, yet who knows without a doubt?
Hypnos Hypnos in Eternal Slumber
How’d He Get Put to Sleep?
This is likely perhaps the most heartbreaking thing found in the Gehenna 2 Specialized Playtest, and it has to do with one of the most fan-loved characters from the principal game, Hypnos. Hypnos is one more offspring of Nyx and the Divine Force of Rest, whom fans cherished in the main game because of his talk with both Zagreus and Thanatos. Hypnos’ particular approach to remarking on Zagreus’ demises and his complete absence of a hard-working attitude made him so engaging, thus dearest.
In any case, in Gehenna 2, Hypnos is resting, and it doesn’t appear as though he will awaken at any point in the near future. The way that in Melinoe’s flashback to when she was a kid, Hypnos should be visible dozing; he’s actually resting in the current day while Melinoe challenges Erebus implies that he’s been stuck snoozing for quite a long time. Whether this is constrained sleep because of another person or a self-instigated rest, it’s hazy, yet we’re trusting Hypnos doesn’t remain napping the whole of this spin-off game.
Demeter Is Ready To Fight
She’s Not Messing Around Anymore
In Hades 2, the majority of the returning Greek gods—Demeter included—have undergone some rather obvious modifications to their appearance. Demeter’s feel much more grounded, nonetheless, than many of the other design modifications. Demeter is dressed in really cozy, regal-looking attire in the first Hades game—i.e., things that wouldn’t be very useful in combat.
But in Hades 2, Demeter appears as though she could charge into combat at any moment. Demeter is very clear that she is prepared to actively take part in the fight against Chronos in order to get her daughter back once Chronos had snatched her daughter or caused her some other harm.
The Three Fates’ Prophecy
Melinoe Has Been Raised With The Goal of Killing Chronos
It seems that long before the events of Hades 2, the Fates themselves delivered a prophecy that predicted Chronos would fall at the hands of Melinoe. Thus, with this prophecy of good fortune in mind, Hecate nurtured Melinoe to be a fierce warrior in the hopes that this prophecy would come to pass.
Melinoe’s early years are flashed back, and it’s evident that the young princess of the Underworld is prepared to suppress aspects of herself in order to grow into a more formidable warrior. Fortunately, Hecate stops this problem in its tracks and appears to assist Melinoe at every turn by reassuring her that she can trust in herself, acknowledging that crying is normal, and pointing out the ongoing strain Melinoe faces.
Hecate’s Origins
It turns out she’s A Titaness
Furthermore, in conclusion, in the event that it wasn’t at that point clear by Hecate’s monstrous height (basically contrasted with Melinoe), Hecate is a Titan. Obviously, anybody who looks into who Hecate was in Greek folklore can figure out pretty much all that there is to be familiar with the Goddess, yet for the people who are exclusively depending on Abbadon 2 to give them this data, this uncover could have been a shock.
All things considered, Chronos is a Titan, and Melinoe’s ‘expression’ in Abbadon 2 is by all accounts “Demise to Chronos,” so it’s amazing that an individual Titan is preparing her in light of this objective. Be that as it may, Hecate has clearly favored the Greek Pantheon of Divine Beings, and as compensation for this, Zeus made her a perceived Lord of the intersection, black magic, sorcery, and the moon, and that’s just the beginning.
