Just coming back to this game after months of not playing after getting stuck on the final boss. Ppl online saying i should grind on the surface. Trying to unlock the surface by getting shadow for the incantation. Confused on why i can craft shadow despite having enough ash? Pls help

Almost finished Hades 2 (going for 100%) and I'm in love with the character designs. Has Supergiant games released an artbook or a video detailing why characters look how they do?

Im using the shield Aspect of Zeus but im not sure if this weapon is the most appropriate one :(

I wanted to see how far I could get with a pretty stupid challenge.

The rules were simple:

• The moment I take damage, I have to immediately switch to a different roguelike.
• If I die, that game's run is over forever.
• Beat as many games as possible without running out of attempts.

It ended up being way more stressful than I expected because every hit meant adapting to completely different mechanics.

If anyone wants to check it out, here's the video

Just started using Nergal and dont really find any point that I want to mix in the special. Any advice? When should I use it (other than for Origination)?

I'm looking to buy this game for switch 2, and I wanna know if this game runs on 1080p on handheld boost mode on switch 2. I know the switch 1 resolution is 720p, but I don't see any info with the switch 2 boost mode.

i'm night's champion. all relationships maxed out. every prophecy fulfilled, but i haven't gotten the new prophecy that i've read unlocks after a 24-heat dream dive clear...

one more prophecy to fulfill i believe. is there anything i'm missing to get this one to populate?

Hello everyone I purchased Hades switch game from AliExpress and it's missing the art book that is supposed to come with it, I think the seller scammed me (also another game came in bad condition) I was wondering if anyone has the Hades Compendium digitally I'd really like to have it. It was one of the main reasons why I purchased the game physically in the first place. I love the art. Would really appreciate it much appreciated.

I wanted to clarify -- what are the prerequisites to trigger this particular quest?? I haven't done anything of note, in fact, I've only been working on three tasks for the duration of my playthrough (orpheus-eurydice, Achilles-patrocles, thanatos), none of which i finished. I've ignored giving nectar to most of the olympians, I've only beaten hades about ten or so times, so I'm not sure what triggered this 😭

for context, i've beat Chronos thrice, and Typhon once. i'm really enjoying the gameplay, it's forced me to get out of my comfort zone and not button mash my heart out lol, but the story is leaving a lil to be desired.

in Hades 2's defense, the stakes are much higher. Melinoe's upbringing was way more serious and u can see that in how she speaks. yet i feel that she's quite passive in her fight...? i keep hoping she'll question the gods and how they treat one another, as well as the severity of their situation, or even more fiercely double down on her goals, but instead i find her to be... neutral? passive? her voice feels like it stays the same, not just tonally but literally too (not blaming the incredible VA for this, it's more of a writing/direction issue, i feel); i was hoping by now she'd express more doubt or annoyance or stress or anything different to what she's been doing so far. is it just me?

edit: oh and the boons! selene's boons <<<<<< hades 1 god boons. i only really like one of selene's boons, and unlike the rest of 2, where i had to learn to be flexible with how i play, i find them limiting playstyle-wise. i adored the variety 1 offered in that sense, even tho they weren't all that different from some of the regular abilities.

i wonder why they didn't make nyx's boons the final god boons too, she's more powerful than the rest of the house of hades, would make sense if she got away. since she had a better relationship with chaos by the end of 1, it'd make sense if chaos helped her. and nyx helping melinoe so much could play into the resentment her children have for both of them.

Hades 2: Yes Selene, No Helios

Howdy fellow room clearers. I have about a thousand hours in Hades II and I still am not sure about the mechanics of how cast damage works. Press the button, it snares enemies. Do an omega cast, and when it expires it does a blast of damage. But now here's the question.

If I have a buff that increases cast damage by X% (Chaos boon or an item, etc.) does that ONLY increase that expiration damage blast of the omega cast? Or if I am using Zeus' cast does it increase the lighting bolt damage by X% or no, it's still only that final blast of damage? Does doing an omega cast increase the damage of Zeus' lighting bolts (or Demeter's icicles, Hera's hitch, etc., any additive cast damage) in general or does a cast buff not affect those things at all? With origination and all the other global damage boosting effects you can get, it's kind of tough for me to tell if Zeus is doing more damage while I have a cast boosting item or if it's just the sum of all those extra % increases.

Another good example is Heph. If I'm doing a Heph cast build and dump all my poms into it, is there any point in doing omega casts or going for cast damage boons if it will just do whatever the Heph ding dong cast damage is set to (plus global modifiers) anyway? Just want to make sure I'm not wasting my time doing omega casts or cast damage items if it doesn't make a difference.

Anyway, I hope this makes sense.

tl;dr: Does "cast damage +X%" increase cast boon damage or ONLY the built in omega cast expiration damage?

Happy hunting!

I’ve gotten into the groove and cleared Chronos a handful of times now. I went off to do some Olympus runs, then came back and suddenly Chronos seemed…SO slow. Like, absolutely snail’s pace on every attack he made. I felt like I was running circles around him.

I did cast the “time altering effects work on Chronos” spell from the cauldron (can’t remember the name) in between, but I wasn’t using the Hex that slows time. I did have Demeter boons, but I’d have sworn I saw the freeze effect dissipate on him/his health bar so I’d be surprised if it’s that either.

Did that cauldron spell really make the fight 80% easier across the board? Did my game glitch? Or am I just unknowingly humblebragging about my freshly Typhon-honed reflexes?

Being so hades the game coded, I kind of forgot how they are depicted in a pretty goofy and funny way in the games that makes them fit the world.

Seeing how horrifying characters like Polyphemus and Circe were depicted in this movie was so interesting when I kept relating them to how the chars were depicted in the game.

But damn that scream and that scene and everything was so captivating.

UPDATE: SUCCES!! Thanks for the tip about the pinning what was needed to get it.

I'm trying to unlock the duo boon, Natural Selection. It's the last one I need to unlock and no matter how much I try to force Poseidon and Demeter I just can't get it at all. Which weapon and aspect works the best with this boon too? Thanks for any help.

so in the plot, getting Gigaos was important for the story because you need to use a weapon Zag also had acces too… but couldn’t you just borrow nemesis’ sword, steal the rail after beating eris, or just use the random weapons in zags room? Why did it have to be Gigaros, like the hardest to be for Mel to get?

Recent comm work i made, hope yall like it !

I get he has the strongest damage boosts, ( exert aphro at close range) but it makes origination so hard to activate

So like the title said I have completed the game using Achilles aspect of varatha and would like a list of good boons and other upgrades so I can do a nice run with arthur aspect.. I really like using Excalibur and even went till Elysium using it but I would like a nice build so I can use it in the best way Edit: thank you everyone for explaining things in depth, arthur is my favorite aspect and now it's gonna be even more fun playing it

I need some assistance with this. Somehow, I did the first one but i cannot seem to get madea to trigger the dialogue for the second one. Is there something i have to do before? I have farmed her dialogue i cant tell you how many times now. Most articles just say to keep exhausting her dialogue. Is that really just it? I noticed when getting hidden aspects u have to max out the ones for the npc u have to talk to. Not any weapon. Once i did that, i immediately got every waking phrase. So guides have been wrong about that. Im hoping theres something the guides just missing.
