About this mod Author’s original text

Fresh File Surface

Melinoe decides to start with Surface instead of Underworld

Features

  • Location 2 will bring you to Location 2 of Ephyra, from then on everything will be a standard Surface run
  • Artemis can spawn
  • Athena can spawn
  • Surface endshop will have no items due to a bug in how the game fills the shop with items

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. 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.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
