Tartarus

Hades II guide · The final region of the Underworld
← All areas in this guide

Tartarus is the fourth and deepest region of the Underworld route in Hades II, leading straight to the House of Hades. Instead of standard multi-room branching paths, Melinoë navigates a massive clockwork maze structure known as the House of Hades approach, solving chamber encounters within a countdown limit or surviving intense gauntlets. Reaching the end triggers the final battle against the Titan of Time, Chronos.
