After the leather was glued in place it was time to add the detailing. I closed the side tabs around the o-rings and trimmed them to size then seal and painted the gold. I then glued on the heads of a large number of gun-metal silver rivets (suggestion by double headed rivets as it will give you twice as many to work with), with E6000. I needed to cut some indents as I was working as I couldn’t get the rivets to always be completely flat. I then did some additional weathering with sand paper and some dark brown acrylic paint. For the shoes I used a pair of gladiatorial sandals I had already, mostly for increased comfort. Though I did add a strip of leather over the top to help it blend with the costume overall.

Hades is the roguelike for even those that don't necessarily like roguelikes. The art style, the characters, the satisfying weapons upgrade system? It all comes together to offer a stellar gaming experience. What's also stellar? This Hades cosplayer bringing his A-game when it comes to bringing this impressive Zagreus cosplay to life. The first section goes over the shoulder and the two o-rings join at the hip where the sword frog is. I however only made a strip of brown leather as a spacer as my sword would have been way to heavy to fit on the straps, and I was running short on time. This is also the strap that should hold the quiver, which is to say if you want it to be functional I would recommend making it out of actual leather! I started first by making the boob cups, these were made out of a double layer of worbla formed over in my case two cake tin spheres (you can use what ever will give you the right shape for your boobs). Kamui Cosplay has a great tutorial introduction on shaping boob cups out of worbla. Once I had the right amount of curve I trimmed the cups into shape at the top so they would slope smoothly towards the collarbone, Kassandra’s breastplate only has under boob definition, not a cleavage shelf. Between this and the fanart from earlier that transformed singer Lil Naz X into a god himself within the game, the Hades love is still going strong despite months since its release.

Stay Informed

Zagreus feels conflicted about fighting the living things in the Temple of Styx, confiding in Achilles that killing the Satyrs and Vermin on the surface feels different than fighting the wretches which already reside in the Underworld. I used thinner 2mm EVA foam to add the details to the blade and blend the blade into the rest of the shaft. The who thing was then wrapped in worbla to add structure and blend the sections together. The center design was done using layers of worbla sculpted into the correct shapes.

Size chart for reference only. Choosing the size according to your Foot Length instead of length of the sole is the most accurate way. Making the breastplate was a bit of an ordeal and a learning process, I started by using the tried and true method for patterning – I had a buddy wrap me in cling film and then tape, we then drew on the pattern lines and cut me out. I suggest Kamui Cosplay’s books as a good guide to getting started with armor. The pieces were then cut so they would lie flat and this was used to give a rough size and shape for the armor pieces. The template available in my store will also give a rough shape, with some cutting guidelines (dotted lines) but you will need to adjust it to your form. Dialogue with many Olympians, including Hermes, Athena, and Poseidon imply or outright state that Zagreus' presence and existence has eased tensions on Olympus in a way none of them had seen.Hades is a stunning adventure. I'm not the biggest roguelike fan (I'll play and enjoy them, but it's not something I actively seek out), but I couldn't get enough of this adventure from Supergiant Games, which is a good thing, because as a roguelike there is a lot of repetition that is involved. As someone who dabbles in cosplay, let me take this opportunity to praise that wig styling because I knowthat isn't easy. From the perfected spikes to the makeup to sharpen up Taryn's features to look more like the game's art style, this cosplay is so good it might as well be a screenshot. Or a movie. I'd take a movie...

The curved end of the spear handle was made from two layers of 1/2 in EVA foam sandwiched together and shaped with the dremel. The whole handle was then wrapped in 2mm EVA foam to add bulk and blend the sections. Darren Korb Zagreus, Prince of the Underworld, is the son of Hades and is the protagonist of the game Hades. This cosplay would not have been possible without the amazing support of my Patrons over on Patreon.The greave was then painted with a spray primer, gold spray paint, run n buff and acrylic to weather (like all the other painting, my Patreon has more details). I’ve made a few Assassin’s Creed cosplays, in fact now I have made four; this one in particular was no small challenge and I definitely I went through the many stages of cosplay feeeeelings… from “everything is awful” to “this is amazing”.As with most all Assassin’s Creed cosplays Kassandra’s is full of layers, belts that serve no function, and questionable physics; but if you too, like me, want to make your own Greek Assassin then this walk through should get you started! If you don't know your foot length, please refer to the regular shoes size you wear to choose the foot length. We've listed the corresponding foot length of the US, EUR, UK, and JAP shoes sizes in the above size chart. Zagreus is a loving hero, a social magnet, a charismatic, captivating, and sociable young man, who easily befriends many he encounters, treating those of lower status as equals and often using his own influence to improve their lives, respecting the elders (except his father) and other gods. He is subtle, but his gregarious attitude and desire to please everyone suggest a strong paternal void in Zagreus, a result of his emotionally distant relationship with his father. His desire to form a good relationship with everyone he meets becomes a point of the plot. Zagreus is magnetic and will make friends and allies wherever he goes, leaving a trail of tumult in the Underworld.
