Hades is locked away in a room in Tartarus and you can actually run into him if you reach Tartarus. He’ll offer you a boon and ask you to turn back, as Chronos is too powerful.

Cerberus is also alive but has been corrupted by Chronos’s magic and roams the Fields of Mourning as the boss, Infernal Cerberus. Once you defeat Cerberus here, it will run away to Hades’ side in Tartarus.

You cannot free your family and reunite with them until you defeat Chronos. Once you defeat the Titan of Time and overturn the Fate in his control, you can finally free your family from his grasp. We’ll share more details once full access to the game is provided due to certain parts in early access being locked away.
