Hades II Randomizer

Hades II Randomizer

Hades II Randomizer is a randomizer mod for the game Hades II. It randomizes certain parts of the game everytime you start a new run, requiring you to approach the game in a completely different way compared to the normal game.

Please keep in mind that this mod is in it's early stages, so there might be issues or crashes. Hades II is also in Early Access, so any update may break the mod or cause issues.

IMPORTANT: Please disable the Transmit Data setting in the Hades settings menu! Supergiant Games uses the data for balancing and fine tuning and the randomizer throws all balancing out of the window, making the data useless and noisy for the developers.

What can be randomized?

• Enemies: Enemies, elite enemies and minibosses are randomized. This means that you can encounter an enemy from, for example, the Fields of Mourning in Erebus or even surface enemies in the underworld.
• Boons: Boons/Offerings from gods are randomized. This means that, for example, Poseidon can offer upgrades from Aphrodite or Demeter instead of the usual Poseidon boons. Boons are only randomized at the start of the run, so a god will keep offering the same boons for the whole run, until you start a new run.
• Elemental Traits: The elemental traits (water, fire, etc.) offered by the gods are randomized. This affects the way you should approach infusion boons.
• Keepsake: The keepsake you start with is randomized. This only randomly selects a keepsake that you have unlocked, so you will not start with a keepsake you have not unlocked yet.
• Weapon: The weapon you start with is randomized. This only randomly selects a weapon that you have unlocked, so you will not start with a weapon you have not unlocked yet.
• Weapon Aspect: The aspect of the weapon you start with is randomized. This only randomly selects an aspect that you have unlocked.
• Arcana Cards: Randomly equips or unequips arcana cards at the start of the run according to the chance set in the config. Only changes the cards that you have already unlocked.

Some of these features are disabled by default and can be enabled in the config. See Configuration for more information.

Prerequisites

NOTE: These instructions are NOT version of the mod. If you are version, you will need to manually install the dependencies or use the fork of the r2modman that can be found here.

Before installing the mod, make sure you have the following installed:

• The latest version of ModImporter:
• The latest version of ModUtil:

Earlier versions of ModImport and ModUtil might not support Hades II yet, so make sure you are using a recent version!

Installation

NOTE: The instructions below are for ModImporter (or the version). These instructions are NOT version of the mod. It is recommended to use the version of this mod as it's easier to install. If you are version, you will need to use the fork of the r2modman that can be found here.

NOTE 2: Once r2modman (not the fork) supports Hades II and Hell2Modding stabilizes/matures, ModImporter will likely no longer be supported!

• Download the latest release from the releases page
• Extract the contents of the zip file.

• Copy the HadesIIRandomizer folder from the extracted zip file to the mods folder. You do not need the other files (README, LICENSE), only the HadesIIRandomizer folder.

• Run ModImporter.
• Enjoy!
