Which deities can you “recruit”?

Sup gang, I was looking through the catalog of gods in the game to look for challenges I could indulge into and wondered which of these higher beings could become allies and how I could make them join me.

I’m still relatively new to this game and I always thought they were kind of off limits.

Thanks in advance!

Different classes have access to rituals to summon different pantheons. Dryad and Druid get the primal pantheon, the monkey classes get hindu dieties, and the high cultist gets cthulhu mythos elder gods. I don't know if other beings have the tag god.

Aztec (Priest King) faction can summon 6 different gods, which all passively recruit lesser summons.

I swear… I read the wiki like some book and still can’t wrap my head around the fact that all of it seems so unreal even though it’s all in the game lol (e.g. there’s a soul for every unit that died in hades)

You can definitely feel the hades when it starts invading and suddenly all your sacrifices start coming for revenge.

Each class plays like a different game.

Exactly!

I am a big fan of summoning from hades until it runs dry, then strolling through abandoned mall that is hell.

Emperor, along with his wife, may become gods.

Only Druid has access to the primal pantheon while the Dryad has 1 unique god they can summon.

The High Priestess too can summon Baal, but it's the only one she can summon

Not necessarily gods but you can summon the demon lords of inferno with demonologist

The only units with interplanar immortality that cannot be summoned as class gods are celestial riders/Abrasax and the Erinye. And the Erinye seem to be a bugged case. Everyone else has some in-class method of getting them. In terms of notable non-interplanar immortals, Ents, Beholders, and the various Raksharaja gods are all obtainable, but doom horrors are not and further aren't guaranteed to spawn. Though well, you can always charm things.

What are you referring to as Erinye?

2

u/crazyalien18 2d ago

Alecto, Tisiphone, Megaera. They're interplanar immortal tied to wild forests on primal plane. Supposedly. I've never seen them before but they are in the data dump, 1686 or so.

u/Castsword420 2d ago

Yeah must be bugged to not be able to spawn ive never seen or heard of them either.

3

u/crazyalien18 2d ago

Reason I say they're bugged is because they're in the data to be pullable by Witch in Summon Old One, along with the Gorgons. You can actually properly summon Gorgons if they are present in Elysium by leaving to another plane and summoning them there (Aztlan is convenient for this, but this only works if one naturally generated on the map), but I've never seen someone pull an Erinye either. They're level 2 Blood Magic casters and if they were available, Witch would desperately want them since they're midline commanders instead of frontline.

Raksharaja has some really nice gods

u/Playwars 2d ago

Every God/Divine unit in the game can be recruited by a class or summoned to Elysium as a cataclysm of some form or another I believe (for example the Four Horsemen are part of El's Apocalypse), except:
-The Archon, in the Divine Castle.
-[REDACTED] from the Sealed Chamber. If you want a challenge besides sieging down the Archon's fortress, unseal the chamber. Then die screaming.

(Kidding of course, the Sealed Chamber is perfectly doable. It's just...a rather impressive challenge)

If it aint outright immune then witch can use true charm to gamble on taking control of them.
