Hercules (or Herakles in the Greek) needs to finish the last five tasks on the list before he will have properly atoned for murdering his family, but it isn't going to be so easy. The king, seeing that Hercules has completed the tasks declares that two of them are invalid since Hercules got outside help. And I guess that's technically cheating? More sidequests abound and we meet a familiar face from an older Extra Mythology!

The flesh-eating horses might be the worst monsters we've had on Extra Mythology. Something about those eyes. D:
Can't make them be cute like the usual EC horses
sounds like minecraft horses.
Extra Credits here, have a therapy hor- OH GOD NO WRONG HORSE
What happened to the breakfast video??
Extra Breakfast?
Cerebus roughly translate in Ancient Greek as "spotted". The lord or the Underworld named his guardian hellhound Spot.
Maybe Cerberus is a spotter, but instead of ducks it spots those trying to sneak in or out of the Underworld.
Hades is a softy😊
I see we have a fellow Dresden Files fan
Yes, Spotted is a roughly correct translation.
And he's a good boy
It's less weird how all those gods randomly help or get lenient with Heracles when you consider that he's technically related to most of them, they're prolly going "aww so cute" behind his back and putting pics of him on olympic facebook
Olympic facebook is called FatesBook actually
@@mme.veronica735 Another Lore Olympus fan!
KendrixTermina considering this was all due to Gods dicking him around it's only fair he gets some help from them
And there's probably bets and such being passed around. ALWAYS drama on Olympia.
Helios: *gets shot at by an arrow in the desert* Awww, is someone getting a little warm down there? That's adorable.
Loved the: "Everyones dad" on Zeus's mug
It fits him far better than any sort of greatest dad mug.
And Hera's Daddy?
Ford Prefect okay, almost everyone’s dad.
@@dylanrodrigues Hera's Dad is Kronos. (Saturn), Zeus is only Hera's Brother-Husban
@@geraldgrenier8132 oh good, I was worried it was going to get weird for a second.
Sun: *is hot*
Hercules: 🤬🏹
Some guy who own the son: Nice, let’s ride
Sums up that pretty well
That was grand!
...
Theft auto. Dude committed a crime and probably intimidated the victim into covering for him.
smh. kids those days. pre-millennials are all awful.
He was not even mad. That was amazing!
Well actually Helios(or Apollo) was scared because the arrows contain the deadly venom of Hydra which could kill any mortal and let the immortals suffer forever
MY KINGDOM FOR A JUICE BOX
See, if those birds were Geese, the task would've been a failure.
*'H J Ö N K' intensifies*
Thank God they weren't GEESE HOWARD!

@@ArchArturo COME ON!
fun fact Nemesis the Goddess of Vengeance's animal symbol - Geese. Really kinda explains a few things
"but now he was onto more heroic work, beating up birds"- Extra Credits 2019
@@jeffersonren2476 this is sarcasm right?
@@heavysleeperassclapper6054 no
now the question is was that sarcasm?
*link has entered the chat*
Fighting types beating iron birds? Beating skarmory? That’s pretty impressive
Though, to be fair, seagulls are greedy little sh*ts that'll make off with your lunch and firstborn child if you let them.
I love the idea of Hades just being completely fine with Hercules so long as he didn't really hurt his dog.
Well... He didn't believe he could do it. He was all like "DUUUUDE!" And Zeus was like "That's ma boy!"
Hades is actually one of the friendlier gods, his portrayal in most media is just terrible.
@@johgu92 he's more of a god of jewels and gold other than death due to his obssession whit gold. and he's pretty chill. not fucking every women he sees
@@abdelatifagzit8803 Actually thats his roman counterpart, Pluto. He is a god of the underworld, keeping dead souls in line and coming up with very creative punishments.
@@abdelatifagzit8803 that’s a later melding of the Roman god Plutus, with the death god Pluto.
Guys I feel like gm is being unfair Heracles just keeps winning and he’s only rolled like 4 20s
It's what you get when your GM is Daddy Zeus, and your his favorite son.
Look, sometimes you just have to get to the end of the module because the pizza's gone and Dave's mom needs everyone to go home.
The problem is, this was an unmodified pre-built modual, and Herc is over leveled for it. its recommended level 1-4 and he's level 19. Plus he's a total min-maxer and is using a lot of 3rd party feats and equipment that the DM stupidly approved.
Well it's 420, hes blessed by the Snoop Godd

No talk about how the wife of the king of Minos fell in love with the bull, producing the fearsome minotaur? That seems like the kind of detail that should be mentioned at least in passing.
Ancient Greeks had some kinks, yo.
@Trung Thien Dao Uh, don't wanna be THAT guy, but according to the myths that have been recorded, wasn't it either Poseidon or Aphrodite who pulled that stunt? Also, is it just me, or is the EC team being a little less comprehensive than they usually are on this one?
@Trung Thien Dao In other version it was Poseidon who cursed Minos's wife for no sacrificing the bull.
@@oceanberserker I also had that feeling, maybe it's because ''everyone knows of Hercules/Heracles'' syndrom...
I’ll said it once and I’ll say it again I would love to see a extra credit d&d campaign
I'll said it once and I've say it again*
Proofreading!
DIBS ON ZOEY
I am totally playing as Walpole
three words: dibs on heracles
@@dancingecho3864 dibs on Bismarck
"we'll settle his feats later"
Of course he's a pathfinder character. of course.
I remember reading a version of the Cerberus labor where, taking it to Eurystheus, Hercules, not knowing what to DO with a giant three-headed dog, had to drag Cerberus all the way back to Hades. Pretty amusing.
Oh, that was totally what happened. The king did not even try to see Cerberus and ordered for him to be taken back.
Hades only gave him Cerberus, if he would return his doggy.
"YO! Daddy Zeus!" That killed me.
Yo daddy Zeus.🤣🤣
"YO! Daddy Zeus!" That killed me.
🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃🐃!!!!!!!!!
"I call dibs on orpheus'' Of course he plays the bard.
*lalalalalaaaa intensifies*
Ripped apart by Maenads though
Not to be mistaken for Morpheus, god of dreams.
"A monster with three heads, three bodies, six arms and six legs"
Sounds like 3 average people to me
We need a story about Hippolyta and Heracles' hypothetical kid.
Yeah, Hippolyta would prefer to be alone, but I'm prettu sure if she had to, she couls stick with Herakles. The son would basically be Achilles but doesn't have a weakspot.
One nitpick: your Cerberus had a monochrome coat. In Greek, Kerberos="spotted one". (So, yeah, the Greekl God of the Underworld named his monstrous demon dog "Spot".)
Not always, for example in some ceramic depictions it was entirely black except two heads, one was white and the other red. But it might be because the greeks didn't use that many colours when painting their amphoras.
0:54 peace was never an option.
5:40 when you literally have a mug that say's "everyone's dad" XD
I'm loving all the DND references
Sun: **exists**
Heracles: So anyway, I started shooting.
That atlas part was my favorite part of this entire story, from quest 1. Why? Cuz it was super chill and no bad vibes lingered like, "hey dude, wanna pick apples while I hold the sky?" *"Sure broskie"*
am I wrong for thinking Hades is lookin' hella fine.
I thought that too.
I thought he was Persephone.
He is to die for.
Hades in Extra Mythology is like Astolfo from Fate series.
No, you're not wrong, Hades was always a bit of a looker
When Hercules was fighting the geese the geese were like:
Geese: *peace was never a option in the first place.*
Maybe this is where current day goose got their aggression to humans come from
1:11
Unless Herk the Jerk is in an epic-level campaign, no.
He has a STR score of 24, which is only possible if he has the barbarian's capstone ability.
Your forgetting that he is a demigod and what stat boosts that gives, and the rage which started the whole thing he definitely has levels in barbarian
@@timothycarney9652 ASIs can only increase an ability score up to 20, though.
If he reached STR 24 at character creation, his STR bonus must have been at least +9 (or +6 if rolling for stats)
Which, to be fair, is not actually that unbelievable for a demigod.
Maybe they homebrewed a new template, like the half-dragon one?
@@bananudoscomnutela8905 I didn't know you were presuming him to be that strong at creation instead of after leveling a bit- considering the video was continually updating his sheet as he progressed. Though him being rediculously strong at creation and then continuing to get stronger would fit with a demigod that beat up full gods and such- In pure brawn Herc beats everyone else in greek mythology
@@bananudoscomnutela8905 I'd actually put his STR at closer to, uh, *40* .
I love this story! Gotta say the D&D references made it 10 times better
HERCULES: I SAWED THIS MOUNTAIN IN HALF... TO MAKE A STRAIT!
We need Flex Tape
To show you the coolness of straits, I sawed this mountain in half
@@mcmonkey26 I admit... yours is better than mine! I don't care anymore: GIVE ALL LIKES TO THIS GUY NOT ME!
Wow, Heracules was very patient. I would've kicked the guy's ass when he came up with two more labors.
The guy was an NPC vital to The game so he would be unkillable
Euristheus was his cousin. Maybe that was the reason why Hercules didn't got hard on him.
@@abcdef27669 it's not like killing family has stopped him before.
@@MrSGZone But that would mean he’d have to do more tasks for penance.
You do realise he was doing the tasks as penance right? He would hardly be able to properly atone if he murdered the taskmaster.
Hold on. Was it not Herakles who acted rashly, killing Hypolita for the girdle when she would have given it freely? I guess this is yet another case when there are several different versions.
*shows Hercules beating up the untitled goose*
Ah yes, perfection
Truly the clash of the titans
That's impossible.
Peace was never an option.
@@necro-retro915 That had to be a fabrication. Of course the goose would win.
Not done yet with this one... there's the splatbook "The Two Requests of King Thespius" that would be a boon to cover...
3 heads, 3 bodies, 6 arms and 6 legs.
You sure it wasn't just three dudes?
Let's say they are... Really close.
I hear he had only one heart.
"You and me [and him]? We're like brothers, only closer."
@@nessesaryschoolthing Siamese triplets?
I’m honestly amazed that none the papers went into the fire
Between Hercules and Gilgamesh who would win in a fight?
I do you better, throw Maui in and watch the WWE tournament in the making.
@@chewxieyang4677 yes. Just yes.
Gil, enuma elish will took him down in seconds
They'd probably wrestle for a while and then become best friends.
If you've seen the FATE series you already know the answer.
Hades is so chill
"Yea sure you can borrow my dog if you can get him out without hurting him"
I love how he is just playing D&D with him XD
2:58: Soooooo three guys standing next to each other?
Conjoined triplets
What I heard about Chiron losing his immortality was just Zeus taking it away due to how awful it was to see him in that much pain and he then became the constellation Sagittarius but that’s a pretty cool interpretation
Only Steven Seagal breaks less of a sweat kicking ass than Heracles
Chuck Norris doesn't break sweat, btw, he crushes it.
Bro the ost to this is amazing
0:57 wow batman is lurking in hercules's shadows
Your channel, videos, and this as well as your extra history series are pure gold. Just saying.
hot damn i just finished watching the first episode and you guys upload?oh lucky day!!!!
I'll be honest, "tales that don't fit neatly into the historical record" sounds like an elaborate euphemism for "untrue story".
In every single sense of these words, it is, but, and also however, there are exceptions to and from these rules and norms.
@@matryxgeounlymyted56quarde9 Can you give me an example of one of those exceptions?
@@Sewblon Basically most of ancient history tbh, or, if you want specificity, take the Roman Kingdom period. Writers in antiquity liked embellishing, and sometimes it's pretty hard to separate facts from fiction in primary sources.
@@Sewblon If you're following this channel, by now you've probably already watched a less known example of a certain well known myth.
very impressive probably hand down my favorite way I have heard this story told
*phew* , Finally it continues, even though I now know everything about Hercules/Heracles, keep in mind that I still love your channel
love it
you don't have enough xp and good equipment for the main story
Me: 5:21
I love this wish u could make a part 3
Yo hol up didn't the Amazon queen die?
Yeh, she ded. Totally got murked yo
She paid the premium price.
In other versions of the story she lives and marries Theseus.
@@nessesaryschoolthing And then gets killed by her former amazonian lover.
There are many different versions of every myth.
This is the most chaotic good video on TH-cam
Heracles is definitely a Rogue/Paladin who put his expertises into Deception and Persuasion.
Also I love the look you gave Hades. Regal and smug, as any Greek god should be, and without the fire and brimstone stuff that just makes him Greek Satan.
But barbarian
to show you the power of Flex Seal...
I SAWED THIS MOUNTAIN IN HALF
Oh nice, they remembered to use Inspiration on Herc's character sheet. Oft overlooked, everyone loves the opportunity for that clutch advantage/disadvantage (the best feature of 5th edition).
Do the Trojan War! Or all of the Iliad/Odyssey/Aeniad... honestly, all of Grecko-Roman myths y’all can come across :)
I loooooove your video's I showed my mom and she loved it too! PLEASE MAKE MORE :DDDDD
I just played the video but gave a like knowing that I will be amazed by another of your videos :)
love the D&D bits
You are such a D&D nerd.
*I LOVE IT*
"YO, DADDY ZEUS" had me cracking up lol
I love how, in watching these, I've come to realize that the God of War games are really just a giant mash up of all these Grecian myths. It's like, if you've played those games and paid any attention to the story, you learn an incredible amount of history in a game centered around mass killing.
Man, I sure do love video games.
They did a pretty wild mashup or Norse theology as well, so I'm looking forward to what they do with my personal pantheon! Plus, now I have my favorite representation of Loki's snek son thanks to them. Video games, man. They do be good.
At 1:45 the man eating horse of "diabetes"
Hades: "I like your style, kid. Sure, you can walk my dog, as long as you can keep him under control and you don't injure him."
Anyone and anything: _Charges against Heracles_
Heracles, wielding the Olive Tree of Smacking: *_SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND_*
King to Herakles: You'll have to complete these tasks to atone for your sins.
Herakles to King: Think I might just make myself King instead.
Well... he could not. Him and the king were kin. When it was time for them to be born, Hera tricked Zeus that the first child of the line that was going to be born, would become king. Zeus accepted it and proclaimed it so. The Hera went to the goddess of births and directed her to Eurystheas, which was born prematurely at 7 months and then Heracles was born. So he could not go against a degree that was promised in the waters of the river Styx.
I love how when Athena goes to Help Hercules she has a rbf and is like:you ducking dumbarse
Actually Hercules didn’t take the bull since the story goes like this “the king tries to trick Poseidon so he gets angry and makes the wife of the king fall in love with the bull and that’s how the race of minators came to being”
Technically speaking Hercules is related to Atlas if you go far enough back in his family's tree
I feel like the 12 labors could just be the ancient notes of a frustrated dungeon master.
Finally, it has arrived
Lion task: Leo
Hydra task: Cancer
Hind task: Capicorn
Boar task: Aries
Stables task: Aquarius
Bird task: Sagittarius
Bull task: Taurus
Horses task: Libra
Girdle task: Virgo
Cattle task: Gemini
Apples task: Pisces

ITS S-S-S-S-SIDEQUEST TIME
- Extra Credits 2019
(Hercules Would be proud)
Hey that was a violation of a contract of adhesion. Damn you Eurystheus. Heracles should file it in court.
Man i love s-s-s-s-s-s sidequest time
who doesn't?
awesome vid!
Hades in movies: UTTER EVIL
Hades in mythology: Please do not hurt my doggo.
tfw you make friends with the literal sun
You guys should make a playable Heracles D&D character sheet
Love the reference to the Argonauts being the Avengers of Greek mthology
Was Hercules ever like yo I don't want to fight Cerberus
Extra Credits: I don't know what your house rules for D&D are, but 5E "Rules as Written" (RAW) states that you don't get "points" for inspiration. Instead, you're given the ability to roll Advantage on the roll of your choice or Disadvantage removed on a roll of your choice. The Inspiration box is a boolean value, not a numeric one.
I demand the full character sheet be published. Release the sheets!
On the front page Hercules: me when I see someone when I’m playing hide and seek tag
I love how Heracles shot the sun out of *sheer fucking spite.*
Most myths point to that the bull Poseidon gifted to the king of Minos was indeed not returned. But instead of rampaging around, Poseidon and Aphrodite (goddess of love) made the queen fall in love with the bull, hence the minotaur. By the time Hercules arrived, the king was so ashamed that he just gave the bull away without resistance.
At least, that's the version I heard most of the time.
In some translations, Hypolita dropped the girdle in preparation for some… “adult” fun😂
'oi bruv you shot the sun. shits sick. here's the whip' - helios
Yay Herakles is back :D
just amazing brah
Great design choice to make the birds look like geese
Appropriate.
Loved this episode of "dun dun dun dun dun, dun, aaahhh aahh ahh aaahh aahh ahh boom"
And then the birds flew away to North America, and became the Canadian Geese we all know and love today.
Talking about the Cretan Bull and not talking about how the Minotaur was born? Probably wise.
Hey, could you guys do the backstory behind the Trojan war
if you ask me, I feel like the hydra and the hesperides should be flipped.
Because while Heracles had help with the Hydra, he still put out most of the effort in killing it, whereas Atlas put all the effort into stealing the apples from the garden of the hesperides
Hades: sure, you can totally borrow my dog, just don't, y'know, stab him or anything.
other sidequest accompanying the Argonauts for a brief period
I woulda been like “yea good job but you didn’t STEAL the apples. You got some other dude to get them for you”.
Technically he stole them from Atlas with that switcheroo at the end.
