About this mod Author’s original text
Extended NPC Encounters
Adds NPC encounters to regions that they cannot normally appear in. Also allows Thanatos to appear in Hades 2 biomes and Hades 2 NPCs in Hades 1 biomes if Zagreus' Journey is installed.
Installation
Use r2modman by ebkr or GitHub.
While the mod has been tested decently well, there can still be some scenarios which didn't show up in testing that softlock the game. It is recommended to backup your save from %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II\Profile*.sav before modding in case there are issues.
It is recommended not to uninstall the mod or load the game un-modded while in the middle of a modded run.
Configuration
Mod can be configured through the r2modman config editor. Requires the game to be run atleast once with the mod installed for the default config to be generated.
Each new encounter added can disabled/enabled as you see fit. Each NPC can have their chance of showing up in non-vanilla regions configured by setting the weight value. Can use dream_dive_only to only allow these encounters in Dream Dives.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Hades II uses the game's built-in mod import — unzip the pack and place it where the readme says.
