#hecatoncheires

Hello, everyone!

Investigating mysterious tremors near the mountains, the party discovers a slumbering Hecatoncheires, a 30 meter tall aberration with a hundred arms. Awakened by cultists, the giant monster eats the whole party alive.

Thankfully not all is lost, and the group ends up in the aberration’s stomach. Full of corrosive sludge, it hurts even to be here!

And while they try to find a way out, dozens of grasping arms erupt from the walls, attempting to shove the adventurers into grinding maws. And let’s not forget the giant eyeballs tracking their every move!

A fierce battle will take place as the party attempts to escape this nightmare.

The creature tokens for this map are an Hecatoncheires, a Living Plasma and a Living Wound. Emerald tier gets the Hecatoncheires while Diamond tier gets all three. In addition, Sapphire tier gets extra creature token variants.

You can see a preview of all of this week’s Patreon content here.

Future plans for my custom Hecaton once I actually achieve the license <3

So Melinoë’s mythologically the daughter of Zeus, who had her with Persephone while disguised as Hades? That’ll be interesting.

The goddess with the pointed hat is 1000% Hecate, goddess/Titan of magic and crossroads. The dual torches thing is very much one of her symbols.

Given Hecate’s association with crossroads, the Moirai (the Fates) will likely appear in the game.

We saw Moros and Nemesis. Both are children of Nyx, representing Doom and Revenge respectively. Given Hades is in chains, Nyx has likely gone missing or has also been captured.

Given two of Nyx’s children have already been shown, I’d say there’s a good chance Eris (Strife) shows up.

Melinoë is associated strongly with the moon, so Aether and Hemera could also show up. Selene will definitely show up.

The game seems to start on the surface world, and I’m guessing it will stay that way. It avoids repeated settings, and it keeps Zagreus from showing up to help.

Since the map will be entirely on the surface, and given Cronus’ role as primary antagonist, I propose that the different bosses will be the Titans of the cardinal directions (Iapetus, Hyperion, Coeus, and Crius).

If the bosses are the cardinal Titans, then the cardinal wind gods may also appear: Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, and Eurus.

The midstage NPCs will be some of the imprisoned Titans, like Atlas and Prometheus.

If Prometheus appears, Pandora may as well, since she was the wife of Prometheus’ brother, Epimetheus.

The Hecatoncheires will show up as a miniboss, since they’re siblings to the Titans. Same with the Cyclopes.
