How to Unlock Zeus in Hearthstone
Zeus is a god of enormous size with a powerful personality. Zeus offers some of the most powerful blessings in the game.
His Duo Boons can be very powerful, particularly if your builds are happy to crit. Start with Artemis for big spins and Dionysus for dash-strike to gain more crits.
1. Talk to Zeus
Each of the Infernal Arms in Hades has the Hidden Aspect that, if unlocked, will completely change its passive and moveset. These aspects are based on a certain historical or hero and each one has its own story.
Hades is dominated by Zeus, King of Olympus, god of the skies. He is always mentioning that his daughter is missing, yet he seems almost gleeful at her abduction. He knows what is happening to Persephone, and he wants her to rejoin him on Mount Olympus.
He even goes as even as to ask his nephew Zagreus to inform Hades that he has forgiven his father, which angers Zeus, the Olympian god of the underworld. This is a very sly act particularly when you consider Zeus kidnapped the daughter of his own father.
2. Hermes is available to chat
Zeus, the god of thunder and the sky, was one of Titans who rebelled face of their oppressive rulers. Zeus together with his brothers took part in the Titan War and won a magnificent victory. After the war, he created lots to decide how the world was to be ruled. He won the Heavens, Poseidon took the Sea and Hades took the Underworld.
Zeus assists his nephew Zagreus escape the Underworld and will often talk about how he can be a part of the rest of the Olympians in Mount Olympus. He isn't aware that Zagreus really wants to reunite with his birth mother, Persephone.
Zeus offers some great boons that can be very useful in combat. In particular, his Chain Lightning and Lightning Strike capabilities. You'll receive a Chthonic Companion that can be upgraded to Level 5 using Ambrosia. To increase the chances of Zeus appearing, you can equip his Lambent Plume Keepsake. You could also enhance your relationship with some of the other gods by giving them nectar.

3. Talk to Persephone
Persephone In Greek mythology is the wife of Hades. She is also the queen of the Underworld. Zeus made it a condition that Persephone would never look at him again after he had seduced her and took her to the Underworld. This was to ensure that their love would endure. When she refused he forced her to consume food in the House of Hades, where he kept her in perpetually sad and sorrowful. Orpheus his story was so touching that even Cerberus the three-headed dog guarding the entrance to Underworld was able to listen to him plead with gods for his wife to be rescued.
The King of the Olympian gods is a complete asshole who not only betray his wife Demeter but also raped her sister Callisto. He took his daughter and kept her away from Olympus. He has an extremely exaggerated sense of self-importance, and thinks only of himself. He's also very sexist and homophobic. If he's not locked the game will give you boons that grant you lightning strikes and chain lightning as well as his signature Status Curse Jolted, which makes enemies strike themselves to take damage. To unlock him you'll need to speak to the gods who are not yours, hear their opinions of him and raise your esteem for him to five hearts.
4. Talk to Athena
Athena has some interesting things to do for those who want to play her. She loves to increase your damage, both to boost your crits, and also to eliminate the sad noncrits. She's a great duo partner particularly with Chaos or Jerkies to get the additional backstab damage that comes from Blinding Flash and lodge bloodstones with Boiling Blood. You can also use Aphrodite or Heart Rend from her tier-2s to give your attack damage, or special damage boosts, and Weak status to decrease damage.
Another great method to build her is to use a casting-focused aspect that combines a variety of special attacks or attack for one big blast. She loves Zeus for its a lot of base damage, and Flurry Shot to do an impressive amount of aoe. Dionysus and Artemis also increase her chances of crit. She is able to deflect most attacks using Aphrodite or Hermes on attack and/or special, plus she unlocks a lot of great buffs like Static Discharge and Exit Wounds from her legendary heroes.
5. Talk with Artemis
Zeus is an Olympian god of thunder, sky and is the younger brother of Hades. He likes to offer boons that cause damage to groups of enemies, like lightning strikes in chains or chain lightning. He also has his signature Status Curse, Jolted, which causes enemies to damage themselves if they attack, consuming the curse.
Artemis is his daughter, and she's known for her love of hunting and the outdoors. She has a group that is comprised of virgin huntresses, who have pledged not to get married. She's also enraged at people who disrespect her or her sister Apollo.
Engaging with her repeatedly can boost your chances of success. You'll know she's ready to reveal her true self when she claims that she feels she can be herself with you.
Her ability is a great option for any hero that has a high probability of crit. Start with her cast to get a big damage boost. Add Poms and Hunter's Mark if you want deflection. If slot demo pragmatic zeus hades facing an attack that is quick, you can add Chaos or Jerkies to get damaging damage and more backstab damage.
6. Demeter is available to talk.
After your second attempt to escape, you'll meet Demeter. She will talk to you about Persephone her daughter and their turbulent relationship. Demeter is the goddess for fertility and resurrection. She was also Zeus's wife Cronus, and the sister of Hestia and Hera.
The Gods in the Olympus wing will give you boons when you speak to them during escape attempts, which strengthens your bond with them. When you press L1, you can check your bond level. The Gods will also unlock conversation options if you fulfill their wishes. The amount of favor needed by each God differs.
Zeus, for example, would like to know what the other Gods consider of him. To find out, pick up their boons while holding your own boon. Achilles wants to be congratulated on his many runs. Equipping their keepstakes can increase the chances of engaging in these conversations. For instance, Hermes' Lambent Plume gives you a boost to dodge and speed.
7. Talk to Chaos
You can unlock a variety of weapon attributes to enhance your weapons. Some are easy upgrades, others are powerful permanent boosts. These weapon attributes, in conjunction with Boons Keepsakes, Boons and Nectar gifts allow you to make unique builds for every run.
If you're struggling to unlock the weapon's features, don't give up. Sometimes you have to speak with a variety of NPCs before the first word is revealed. Be patient and give the NPC every time before returning home.
The Heart-Seeking Bow uses arrows that are shot out of the heart-shaped bow to take on opponents. It costs 1 Chthonic Key to unlock, and its fourth aspect boosts the chance to critically hit with its strikes by a percentage for each level. This is an alternative for those who have difficulty landing critical hits. It will make it easier to move through the Underworld while following Zeus's quest.
8. Talk to Nyx
Hades does not like people interfering with his business, particularly if they aren't his devotees or those he has patronized. He doesn't punish them, however, he might cause them to suffer bad luck through dreams, depression or money.
Nyx is the symbol of Night and reigns over the Underworld together with Hades. She genuinely wants Zagreus to leave the Underworld and return to Persephone and she's willing to go far out of her way to assist him in his quest.
She's also pretty interested in how Zeus discovered her beloved and would be watching him closely to ensure he doesn't divulge their existence to anyone else. The question of whether she'd be able to protect them from the Olympian gods is a different matter but she wouldn't be foolish enough to let anyone else get close to her beloved.
