10 SOUL-CRUSHING Second Phase Boss Reveals
9. Hades, God of The Dead - Hades
For those who've been living under Sisyphus' rock for the last half a decade, Hades is an epic roguelike that sees you struggle through the depths of the Underworld to reach the surface. But it's best known for the death mechanic, which sets you back to the beginning every time you die. Yikes.
It's a long, arduous journey that ends with you battling the fearsome Hades in a fight that throws everything at you. Fast, powerful strikes, area-of-effect attacks, minions - this showdown has it all. But it gets all the worse after you deplete his health for the first time.
After finishing him off, Hades essentially says, "Nuh-uh," and gets right back up, coming at you with yet another health bar. Seeing this happen for the first time will give you flashbacks of all you've been through to get here. You're then crushed with the knowledge that you'll have to go through it all over again just to get another shot at this final boss.
It turns out that escaping the Underworld isn't easy. Who knew?
