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. After getting all six lines of dialogue from Hypnos, encountering Asterius as a miniboss will finally allow Zagreus to get Hypnos his prized autograph. The game tracks which of the two deals the final blow, but it doesn't matter if you have activated the Extreme Measures aspect of the Pact of Punishment. 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. Other characters shall comment on quality of Hypnos' work, such as Dusa asking Hypnos how he managed to keep the shades orderly and moving swiftly, only for him to refuse to divulge his secrets, and state that he shall one day have his picture on the wall in the Lounge.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.
Afterward Hypnos will thank Zagreus for speaking to Thanatos, completing his favor. 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.

At one point, he suggests that Thanatos "kill all the mortals at once" to make his job easy and thus free up more time together and it can save your brother from your hard work, but Thanatos berates him for the "stupidity" of your idea. Hypnos clearly admires his brother and wishes to spend more time with him, despite Thanatos' cold rejection. Hypnos is considered incredibly positive, considering his work, and it is speculated that his mood is one of the reasons he is not fired. Hypnos cannot be found outside of the House at any point in the game and will remain in the House, unlike Thanatos, who often moves to help Zagreus behind Hades' back. In sharp contrast to Thanatos' work who does it masterfully, Hypnos does not take his work too seriously. He will greet Zagreus and happily comment and note in his report about his last kill.

Achilles speculates that the reason he hasn't been fired yet is that Hades finds him quite funny and considers him an unofficial jester.ĭespite the dark nature of his work, Hypnos is very cheerful, and although he doesn't have the best professional conduct, he is always very receptive.
