Hades II Randomizer is a randomizer mod for the game Hades II. It randomizes certain parts of the game everytime you start a new run, requiring you to approach the game in a completely different way compared to the normal game.
Please keep in mind that this mod is in it's early stages, so there might be issues or crashes. Hades II is also in Early Access, so any update may break the mod or cause issues.
Some of these features are disabled by default and can be enabled in the config. See Configuration for more information.

Earlier versions of ModImport and ModUtil might not support Hades II yet, so make sure you are using a recent version!
NOTE: The instructions below are for ModImporter (or the Nexusmods version). These instructions are NOT for the Thunderstore version of the mod. It is recommended to use the ThunderStore version of this mod as it's easier to install.

NOTE 2: Once r2modman (not the fork) supports Hades II and Hell2Modding stabilizes/matures, ModImporter will likely no longer be supported!
