Hypnos persona series#

Hypnos yearns for his brother's attention and company and, at one point, suggests Thanatos kill all mortals in one swoop so that the two of them could then spend more time together.

In contrast to his relationship with Nyx, Hypnos openly frets that his brother may loathe him-however he still adores both Nyx and Thanatos. Thanatos expresses little faith in Hypnos, thus when Hypnos submits a report of immaculate quality, he wrongly assumes someone must have been assisting his brother. Such interactions consist of Thanatos lecturing Hypnos he spares little time to talk with his twin otherwise. Thanatos: Hypnos is initially kept at arm's length by Thanatos-who, like their mother, primarily interacts with Hypnos to discuss Hypnos' work ethic and job security. Regardless, Hypnos has only ever exhibited love for his mother. He goes so far as to guess Hades is that 'someone', never once guessing Nyx herself would be the one offering praise. Hypnos has grown so used to his mother's lack of praise that he has ceased to expect it when Nyx tells him for the first time that his 'efforts are to be commended', he immediately assumes someone else is doing the commending. His loneliness, in turn, is bolstered by her request that he refrain from engaging her in conversation. Nyx: Hypnos usually addresses Nyx as 'Mom' and still struggles with calling her 'Mother Nyx' while in the Great Hall, which may reinforce Nyx's belief that her son is too dependent upon her. Some say it is because the Master is oblivious to Hypnos, but it is my choice to think the Master secretly and silently enjoys the bit of levity the fellow purposely or inadvertently provides.'

Though Hypnos may be lacking in propriety, he brings a certain cheer, however unconventional, into the grim proceedings of the House. The former of the two, we call him Hypnos he whiles away, half-sleeping, watching over the Pool of Styx in the foyer of the House, taking stock of those arriving in the Master's domain, or returning to it. That turns out to be not quite correct, insofar as the two, in fact, are brothers, born to Nyx herself. It is said that Sleep is the cousin of Death.

In order to actually get him this autograph, Zagreus must first die a total of six times in order to hear six unique greetings from Hypnos: three of these require dying to Asterius himself, two require dying to Theseus, and one requires dying in the final boss room of Elysium. Afterward Hypnos will thank Zagreus for speaking to Thanatos, completing his favor.Īfter dying for the first time while facing Asterius-whether as a miniboss or in the arena of Elysium-Hypnos will start asking Zagreus to get him an autograph from the Minotaur. Thanatos then praises the quality of his brother's improved work and apologizes for treating him badly. Thanatos will repeatedly criticize Hypnos' work ethic until finally seeming to discover a way to help Hypnos focus. To start, Hypnos will tell Zagreus that Thanatos has said some things to him that make him feel as though he's displeased his brother, and Zagreus states he will talk to Thanatos on Hypnos' behalf.Īfter Zagreus confronts Thanatos about Hypnos, periodically between runs Zagreus will encounter the brothers engaged in conversation.
