The Fields of Mourning (Subsequent runs)

Hades II guide · Returning to the Underworld for subsequent runs

The Fields of Mourning is the third major biome Melinoë traverses during subsequent underworld runs, characterized by vast, open-ended interconnected zones instead of small chambers. Melinoë explores these sprawling areas to find and unseal multiple rewards bound by golden brambles before locating the path to the exit. The zone concludes with a confrontation against the infernal guardian Cerberus, who guards the gateway to Tartarus.
