Later on, Nyx will instruct you to upgrade the eldest sigil in the administrative chamber to serve as a bridge to Chaos, which will cost you 3142 at the House Contractor. At some point, Chaos will reveal that they tried to reach out to Nyx, per Zagreus' advice. Once you have given Chaos 6 Nectar, you will not be able to give more gifts until you complete a favor for them.Īfter you complete the favor, they can be gifted Ambrosia, although they will not give a Companion in return.Ĭhaos' affinity gauge is maxed out at 8 hearts, requiring the gifting of 6 Nectar and 2 Ambrosia total.Ĭhaos' favor is part of the same event as Nyx's favor, requiring you to reunite the two of them to fulfill one of the Fated List of Minor Prophecies. If given Nectar, Chaos will give you the Cosmic Egg. Held in Chaos's right hand, between their index finger and thumb and the size of a large marble in comparison to their hand, is the planet Earth. On the right side of their body is the edge of what seems to be a robe, which blends back into the mishmash of flesh and faces.Ī starry background is seen behind Chaos, and behind their head are two shapes reminiscent of a human eye, one having many colors and the other gold, all symbolizing their existence outside reality as we know it while watching our reality from beyond. Mixed in with this mass are a few bones, small plants (some with red leaves, some the same color of Chaos's skin), and a human fetus, eventually trailing down into a dark, indistinct shape. Where Chaos's abdomen and lower torso would be, and circling up their chest and behind their head, is a tangle of red-eyed, melted-together human heads, including one that's missing its upper half above the nose. Another large eye is on their forehead, and on that eye itself, two smaller eyes can be seen. Bat-like wings are where their ears should be, and in the middle of their chest is a red stone or eye. The closest Chaos has to "normal" in their appearance is their human head and torso. Their skin is gray higher up on their body, gradually darkening to dark yellow further down, and then becoming featureless black and brown. While the other gods could pass for human, or at least human-like, it's immediately clear that Chaos is not of this world, yet even they have some human characteristics. Hades Review – The Long, Hard Road Out of Hellġ7 September 2020 Physical description They were distant in their role as a parent to Nyx, much to her dismay, and after much reflection during the events of the game, they later reveal to Zagreus their remorse for this.Ĭhaos suggests they would miss Zagreus too, were his visits to their realm ever to cease, but also seems content merely to be an observer of reality, happily gazing eternally into existence from afar and alone. Furthermore, leaving their realm would potentially destabilize all of order and existence, so they just decide to watch. When engaged in dialogue with another, often Zagreus, they will prompt the individual directly at the end of their statement by saying "Answer." Nevertheless, Chaos makes it known that they do not or will not compel the individual to answer, as that is their own choice to make.Ĭhaos cannot be measured or quantified in any meaningful way. Composed, their decisions are mysterious, and Chaos doesn't like to be talked about unless they request it. They seem to despise the Olympians and help Zagreus purely out of self-interest, rather than loyalty. Chaos will make sensitive, critical comments about the people that Zagreus meets, sometimes having knowledge of secrets known to very few due to their eternal watch over reality. They brand Dionysus as "the drunk," for his unpredictability and thus acts as a source of amusement for them. Chaos seems to derive amusement from this, perhaps out of boredom or sheer curiosity. Despite their eternal curiosity with existence, they have a distaste for 'small talk' and are impassive, content to merely watch Zagreus as he fights his way out of the underworld, never once trying to stop him. They speak in a monotone and without emotion, and yet their voice seems to contain a multitude of separate voices of varying genders, all speaking in unison. This primordial spectator is the keeper of secrets. They offer their own set of boons to Zagreus for their inscrutable purposes. Chaos resides in the space between worlds and the underworld, where the walls of reality are thin and can be found at the Gates of Chaos. Chaos, possibly the first existence, is the anthropomorphic personification of the primitive state.
