Hypnos Heart Unlock

[Caretaker]

I've done everything I can possibly do to unlock this but it won't unlock. I've exhausted all the dialogue about his work ethic, I've got every relationship but Demeter maxed, I bought the tombs, what am I missing?

I think you have to lost to Asterius enough time for Hypnos to ask for an autograph - turns out man's a fanboy of the bull.

Already did that, and sadly from what I've read it's just for dialogue I guess.

[shinigamikitsune]

then it's possible it's bugged?

Hypnos should mention that Thanatos was being a bit hard on him and ask you to talk to him about it. From there, in order to progress the favor, you have to talk to Thanatos until Zag brings up Hypnos.

From there, you have to then wait a bit until Thanatos and Hypnos have a conversation of their own again, and then sometime after that talking to Hypnos will eventually complete the favor.

Due to how Thanatos showing up at the House works, this means Hypnos' favor is admittedly a bit more reliant on RNG than some of the other favors.

The last dialogue I had between them was about Hypnos making a list for himself, so hopefully I'm close. Unfortunately all the dialogue is mixed about Dusa for some reason now. I'm sure it'll get resolved with her coming back but it's really dragging on.

I'm assuming you can't just die repeatedly and progress it either cuz he just kept saying I died to a minion.

The Hypnos favor seems to be somewhat low priority, and mixed with the fact that you need to talk to Thanatos a few times (who doesn't visit the House nearly as often as other characters) makes his favor one of the longer ones to complete.

I've pretty much finished everything but Epilogue at this point.

[Specific Beef]

It was one of the last things to unlock for me, long after the "end" of the game, since absolutely everything kept getting in the way of building my relationship with Than and Hypnos. Give it time and just advance the Than storyline when you can.

One of the things that seemed to progress it for me was unlocking one of the House upgrades - the tombs in the floor - that prompted Dusa to go talk to him and say he was doing better at his job, then Than.
I assume that's what the really key part of it is, but I haven't unlocked all of the upgrades yet.

[Caretaker]

I got the tombs, but I think I'm just shy of the last conversation to unlock his heart. I'm currently working on Epilogue which is sadly also just pure RNG so that's fun. Last achieve I need and as much as I love the game I really hope I unlock it soon.

This is incorrect. The autograph subplot is unrelated to the affinity quest and the only thing you get out of it is a funny interaction with Theseus. It's just a funny extra you can do that doesn't link in with anything else.

Hypnos affinity is a long sequence of back and forth evens with Thanatos, though apparently the dialogue priority for this quest seems to be low, and Thanatos may talk about literally anything else first.

[Caretaker]

I finally got him to acknowledge the tombs and the line moving. Now I just play the waiting game and wait for the heart. Zeus is now talking about spoilers as well so I think I'm about to get Epilogue. Thanks everyone.

What's the next line of dialogue after Dusa commends him? Does Thanatos need to commend him now too?

[Aumires]

I thought I would unlock it before leveling all keepsakes. Seems I was wrong. This unlock is awful...

I think so. I didn't get there myself yet, I only got his interaction with Dusa and Nyx. The only thing left is for Thanatos to acknowledge him but he still has some other random dialogue for me. I guess we need to keep doing runs until Thanatos finally runs out of new dialogues and it catches up with this old one. Funny thing though is that some other characters had old dialogues buried down as well, I just got a new dialogue from Dusa how Nyx told her that she can't talk with me and then Nyx commented on that as well even though I resolved that issue AGES ago. I was completely out of place. So yeah, new dialogue gets piled up on top and it takes a while to cycle through it all. And the fact that main story stuff has priority doesn't help at all because everything else just keeps getting pushed down...
