To successfully unlock and engage in conversations with Persephone in the game Hades—especially after achieving multiple successful clears or the “True Ending”—you’ll need to follow a series of steps to access the Epilogue content. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of these steps to ensure you can experience the complete storyline involving Persephone.

Requirements for the Epilogue

1. Complete the Main Story and Achieve the True Ending
– Play through Hades until you have completed the main storyline, which involves escaping the Underworld multiple times and defeating Hades to trigger the credits.
– Upon finishing the credits, the game transitions into post-game content, where Persephone will no longer be available for automatic conversations at her usual spot.

2. Forge Bonds with the Olympians
– Favor Completion: You must complete Favor quests for six specific Olympians (excluding Hermes and Chaos). This includes giving them nectar and ambrosia, fulfilling their tasks, and exhausting all available dialogue options with them.
– Key Dialogues: It’s vital to unlock certain dialogues with Zeus and Demeter concerning Persephone, as these discussions are critical to advancing the story.
– Complete the Queen’s Plan Prophecy: After establishing bonds with the six Olympians, continue engaging with them until they initiate discussions about Persephone, which will fulfill the prophecy named “The Queen’s Plan.”

3. Complete the Family Reunion Prophecy
– Invite All Nine Olympians: This involves actively inviting all nine Olympians (Aphrodite, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Dionysus, Hermes, Poseidon, Zeus, and Demeter) to the House of Hades for a critical announcement. Hermes should also be included but only after completing the previous requirements.
– Distributing Invitations: You will need to interact with each Olympian multiple times to successfully hand out invitations, which may be influenced by random generation events in the game.

4. Triggering Persephone’s Epilogue Dialogue
– Return to the House: After all invitations have been distributed and you’ve attended the assembly with the Olympians in the House of Hades, engage in dialogue with both Hades and Persephone to witness the special announcement that triggers the Epilogue.
– Engage with Persephone: A noteworthy condition is that you should look for an exclamation mark above Persephone’s head after certain in-game actions (like completing a number of runs following the main story). Interact with her to initiate the Epilogue dialogue.
– Additional Runs: According to some guides, you may need to complete around 10 additional runs (you don’t have to defeat Hades every time but need to reach him at least once during this series of runs) before Persephone’s dialogue becomes available.

Technical Notes

– High Affinity with Olympians: Building strong relationships with the Olympians is crucial for triggering their dialogues and progressing towards the Epilogue.
– Patience is Key: Many of the dialogue triggers rely on RNG (random number generation), so it’s important to be persistent. Keeping up the interactions and continuing runs will eventually lead to success.
– Suiciding Runs: Some players report that deliberately ending runs (often referred to as “suiciding”) can assist in meeting the conditions for progressing through the Epilogue—just ensure you reach Hades at least once during these attempts.
