Phases[]

Hades is not initially patrolling The Underworld. Instead, he can be challenged by breaking his effigy thus triggering the fight.

The encounter is split into three phases:

Phase 1: Commander (Icon) - AI - Fortnite ELIMINATE THE MINIONS![]

Hades appears on his throne and is protected by a Dark Magic Barrier, watching over the battle as he summons three Minions to attack the player. During this phase, a maximum of three Minions can appear at a time and more will spawn to replace any that have been eliminated. Three of them need to be eliminated to progress into the next phase.

Phase 2: Commander (Icon) - AI - Fortnite ELIMINATE THE MINIONS![]

Like the previous phase, Hades remains protected by his barrier and summons additional Minions. Four of them need to be eliminated to progress into the next phase. During this phase, Hades uses the following ability:

  • Invigorate
    • Latches his Dark Magic onto one of the Minions, granting them Shield - Icon - Fortnite 50 Shield and decreases oncoming damage by 50%. This ability is only used during Phase 2.

Phase 3: Hades (Icon) - Boss - Fortnite DEFEAT HADES![]

Hades enters the battle and attacks the player while alternating between his Harbinger SMG and Chains of Hades to pull his target towards him. During this phase, Hades has the following abilities:

  • Summoning Minions
    • Hades summons 2 Minions to aid him at the start of the battle. However, unlike Ares, this ability is single use.
  • Dark Magic Health Siphon
    • Hades unleashes his energy and conjures a green skull. Its tendrils latch onto nearby players, stealing 50 Health in increments of 10 over 5 seconds. Hades is able to use this ability without putting away his SMG.

Dialogue[]

Spawn[]

Hades: Someone is eager to join me in my domain.

Minions Defeated While Invigorate Inactive[]

Hades: What? You can't handle some MORTAL?
Hades: It really is so hard to find capable help.

Invigorate First Time[]

Hades: Ugh... looks like my minions might need my assistance...
Hades: Take some of my power, minions, but you better feel bad about it.

Invigorate Other Times[]

Hades: Make short work of them, will you?
Hades: Maybe you can accomplish what the other minions couldn't?
Hades: Here's some power. Take care of that pesky mortal.

Phase 3 Intro[]

Hades: I guess I'll have to take matters into my own hands.
Hades: If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Hades: You're more interesting than I expected. Show me what you've got.
Hades: A new challenger is entering the arena... ME!

Dark Magic Health Siphon[]

Hades: Give me your life force!
Hades: It's a give and take. You give me life force, and I take it!
Hades: Ahhh, delicious.
Hades: Thanks for the pick-me-up, mortal!

Invulnerable[]

Hades: Hah.. you won't damage me in this state.
Hades: Oh, dear mortal... That will get you nowhere.
Hades: Did you think this would be that easy?

Lore[]

A new challenger is entering the arena... ME![3]
— Hades

Hades is the god of the dead, curses, funeral rites and necromancy. He is the prison warden, the overseer and the king of The Underworld and the brother of Zeus and Poseidon.

He is a supporting antagonist of Fortnite: Battle Royale, serving as a supporting antagonist in Chapter 5: Season 2.

Personality[]

Hades appears as a calm and friendly god at the very beginning, speaking in a calm and familiar manner. However he seems to be a prideful being, especially in battle.[4] He sees mortals as lowly and scolds his Minions if they fail to their duty.[5] He has a good relationship with his dog Cerberus whom he loves dearly.[6] Aphrodite believes Hades does care for mortals, in his own way.[7] However Hades hides a much more horrible side of his personality, he considers The Underworld as his playground and the souls of the mortals as his toys, which he claims not to be afraid to break showing his sadistic personality[8]. Graveheart also calls him a deathly trickster, demonstrating that he is more cunning than he appears.[9]

Timeline[]

Before Chapter 5[]

At an unknown point he and Cerberus competed against Poseidon and Phinster in a surfing competition, although Poseidon managed to win.[15] Sometime later, Hades trapped Midas in The Underworld following his death.

Chapter 5: Season 1[]

A constellation symbolizing Hades, in the form of his chains, and a carving of him could be seen on Pandora's Box.[16]

Chapter 5: Season 2[]

After Pandora's Box was opened, Hades came along with the other Gods to punish mortals for opening it and releasing the souls of The Underworld, though he doesn't seem fully on board with Zeus' plan of destroying them all.[7] Meanwhile, Hades is contacted by The Oracle and The Looper, namely to prove the Looper's worth and to stop his brother Zeus, and so Hades tests the Looper by having them challenge his dog, Cerberus, to a duel, allowing them to use a powerful weapon for a fair challenge.[17] Once The Looper proves that they are strong enough by battling Cerberus, Hades continues to remain neutral in the conflict.

Chapter 5: Season 3[]

Hades fled from the island into the infinite corners of reality to find a new domain to rule over following the defeat of Zeus' tyranny, however he left Cerberus on the Island to wait for Persephone's vacation to end, and for her to arrive "on the sweet summer wind". Later, he would return and take them with him to their new land.
