cerberus

Cerberus is a massive three-headed dog charged with guarding the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from escaping. He is a magnificent beast, companion of Hades and Zagreus. When Zagreus left the House for the first time, Cerberus threw a tantrum that wrecked the House's lounge area. Once Zagreus reaches the Temple of Styx, Cerberus guards its exit. Zagreus must find a Satyr Sack, Cerberus's favorite snack, as a bribe to leave the area. Cerberus returns in Hades II, having been cast out of the Underworld by Chronos he now guards the Fields of Mourning but has been transformed into Infernal Cerberus which serves as the Guardian of the Fields of Mourning. Once he has been defeated, he'll run off to be with Hades in Tartarus. Cerberus is the guardian of the Underworld and the faithful companion of master Hades. Despite his intimidating reputation, he now serves more as a pet than anything else in the House of Hades. Cerberus is a gentle, helpful, and playful dog. He has offered his companionship and protection to Zagreus when wore only diapers, swearing him eternal loyalty. Cerberus enjoys typical dog play, such as fetching, which can cause quite a bit of massive destruction. He loves Zagreus so much that he destroyed the lounge when Zagreus attempted to leave the Underworld for the first time. Hades rewards Cerberus for his faithful work by allowing him to stay at home, but it is Cerberus who rewards Hades after a long day of work. He is reliable and cannot disobey his master's orders, but he can sometimes be persuaded with a simple bone. Cerberus patrols the shores of the Styx to prevent strangers from entering or residents from leaving. It is possible to pet Cerberus (although only one of his heads enjoys pets) and indeed necessary to unlock certain improvements from the House Contractor. He can be needy, and when he becomes anxious, he may carelessly destroy the lounge, making it unavailable for immediate use. But overall, he is a great companion and is well-loved by all members of his family. After being corrupted by Chronos, Cerberus becomes a marauding beast consumed with rage and sorrow. Cerberus' affinity gauge maxes out at 9 Filled heart icon hearts. The 7th affinity gauge will be locked until Zagreus pets him at least 20 times (pets given before the final favor lock was added to the game are not counted, so fortunately you must pet him another 20 times). Petting him 10 times earns the Three-Headed Boy achievement, which is an indicator that you're at least halfway there. If affinity is maxed out with Cerberus, there will be unique text above his keepsake. this text states: "from Cerberus; you share a ferocious bond" as well as "the hound of hell has entrusted all his loyalty in his master, and his master's son".
