Both the Olymbian Crystal and Excalibur/Dagger can kill immortals but they function in other ways. But Hades ignored the dagger. It's likely that the dagger can't kill Olympians as Rumple and the ever suggested and the book only ever said the crystal could. Hmm.... It seems that I forgot about this... But Excalibur/Dagger was said that it could kill immortals. Rumple also lies. Maybe another thing could also kill Hades... Also it was said that the HG was the beginning of all magic. So it should have been immensively powerful... I am confused... The whole Excalibur was said that it could cut immortal ties (exact words from Merlin). But that is separating the soul from the body (aka death), but as far as we know, gods can't die. The crystal doesn't kill, like Excalibur, it ends things.

The HG was a gift from the Gods and in full sword form could sever the soul from anyone (aka kill them), but gods can't be killed, but ended. That's probably why Hades didn't seemingly care about Rumple's threats until he had leverage. It's also shown that Hades had many ways to easily kill Rumple, which Hades was immune to.
