Source catalog Release 0.16.3APWorld release · 0.16.3Show technical details

The catalog includes three mutually exclusive room-check systems: 72 fixed-depth room clears, 72–400 cumulative-score thresholds, or six weapon routes with up to 72 rooms each. Optional check families add keepsakes, weapon unlocks, Contractor work orders, prophecies, Mirror levels, fishing and Troves. Under source defaults, 122 network checks are enabled; the full catalog lists 1,194 possible network check rows across option choices. Boss and prophecy event nodes without AP location IDs are excluded from the check count. Counts describe the catalog, not every generated seed. Source review only; no runtime playthrough is claimed.

Playing with others

One solo Hades save per slot, exchanging rewards with a multiworld. Native shared-run co-op is not added.

Known scope and limitations

Use the Windows Polycosmos installer or its manual ModImporter, ModUtil and StyxScribe setup. Linux support is described as partial, not a confirmed equivalent in this listing.
Launch the Hades client from Archipelago and connect before loading the intended save. Keep saves for different seeds separate; automatic mismatch detection remains an open request.
Leave DeathLink off for a conservative run: an August 2026 report describes delayed and repeated death events during a multiworld.
Heat changes can take effect only in the next room, biome or attempt. Other Hades mods are not guaranteed compatible.
High score-check counts can make a run very long. Version 0.16.3 reduces the allowed maximum and revises first-time defaults.
