If given Nectar, Thanatos will give you the Pierced Butterfly.Īfter 6 bottles of Nectar, further gifts will be locked until you complete his favor.Īfter completing his favor, giving Thanatos Ambrosia will give you Companion Mort in exchange. If accepted, you wait for Zagreus not to take his distant silence as indifference, and Zagreus will have to deal with this. He takes things very seriously, when Zagreus says he wants to go further, he asks him to clarify and hopes that Zagreus will not see this as "a kidding". Everyone in the underworld already knew how he felt about Zagreus. Proud and hesitant, Thanatos claims he is not usually honest with his feelings, but he is not good at hiding them. As Hypnos becomes more active in his chores of the House, Thanatos will secretly praise him for it. When his brother is at the risk of losing his job, Thanatos will intervene. But, in his own way, he sees this as for Hypnos' own good, to encourage him to improve. While Hypnos is sloppy in his work, Thanatos is methodical and does his chores in an orderly manner, being prone to ignore or scold Hypnos. Thanatos has a conduct to follow at work, especially in relation to his twin brother, Hypnos. However, he is surprisingly talkative in combat, telling his next moves, Zagreus will consider hearing that '' A Death Sentence''. Reserved, Thanatos will not open up easily or share details or interests of his private life that are not work-oriented. But this will not stop him from moving through the shadows and supporting Zagreus. Even when he apologizes, his words are a bit harsh. Others in the underworld seem to consider him insensitive, rude, or that he is always in a bad mood. The Personification of Death actually represents the Non-Violent and Peaceful Death, removing the life in a painless and expected way, indicating that he does not see it as perishable, more a compassionate friend, responsible for bringing mortals to the end of their lives, treating it more like one of the aspects of their work.īeneath his thorny surface, Thanatos is very cordial, respectful, and friendly. Thanatos, despite his work ethic, will break his vow of trust with the house of Hades, offering his loyalty to Zagreus so he can escape. If he is given nectar during the run right before appearing in the House, he won't be able to be gifted.ĭeath incarnate, Thanatos prioritizes duty well done, and likes to keep a perfect record. After a run in which he was encountered, he has a high (but not 100%) chance of appearing in the House. Within the House of Hades, Thanatos can be found in the same hallway where Achilles keeps guard. If Zagreus either kills more enemies than Thanatos does or ties his total, he will award Zagreus a Centaur Heart in addition to the regular room-clear reward. He is immune to damage during the contest, and will not retaliate if struck (he'll just complain). Thanatos occasionally appears at the beginning of regular encounters and challenges Zagreus to see which of them can slay more shades. He apparently dislikes the mortal realm, in particular how bright it can get. His most recent such venture took longer than usual - speculated by Hypnos and Zagreus to be related to the ongoing war - but returns some time after the game's opening. He is one of Nyx's many children and the older twin brother of Hypnos.Īs the embodiment of death, Thanatos has many duties requiring him to venture up into the mortal realm.

Thanatos is the personification of death. Zagreus (Childhood Friend, Potential Lover)
