“The dog contemplates the prince of the underworld with mixed feelings, from the purest joy to the deepest melancholy” Who doesn’t remember this line from the original Hades? This preceded the first caress of what would soon become our best friend in Tartat. But now Cerberus is the complete opposite.
Cerberus became the third final boss of the sequel and his appearance in it is the most tragic. Taking control of the Underworld, Kronos expels Cerberus ensuring that he no longer needs him, and the guardian of the Temple of Styx now wanders mournfully through the various levels corrupted and turned into a hellish beast. A creature that, of course, must be faced.
