⚔️ What is Hades 2?
Hades II is an action roguelike set in Greek mythology. You play as Melinoë, a witch of the underworld, fighting through the Underworld route and Surface route. Dying sends you back to the Crossroads — your resources and unlocked incantations carry over, and each run you grow stronger.
📌 Quick Start Checklist
- ① Farm Moly and Silver in Erebus
- ② Unlock Incantations in order: Night's Craftwork → Reagent Sensing → Fated Intervention
- ③ Learn to beat Hecate consistently
- ④ Unlock the Altar of Ashes with Consecration of Ashes to use Arcana Cards
- ⑤ Tackle the Surface route only after clearing the Underworld route
🔮 Incantation Priority
Incantations are the backbone of your progression. Unlock these in order for the smoothest early game.
| # | Incantation | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Night's Craftwork | 1× Moly | Unlocks gathering tools — allows mining and foraging |
| 2 | Reagent Sensing | 1× Moly | Notifies you when a cleared room has resources nearby |
| 3 | Fated Intervention | 1× Silver, 2× Ashes, 2× Moly | Unlocks the Fated List of Minor Prophecies — complete tasks for rewards |
| 4 | Flourishing Soil | 1× Moly | Creates 2 garden plots for growing crops at the Crossroads |
| 5 | Permeation of Witching Wards | 1× Cinder, 1× Shadow Crystal, 3× Moly | Unlocks the Surface route |
⚔️ Recommended Weapons
🪄
Witch's Staff Beginner
Starter weapon. Long reach, balanced, and works well with all boons
🪓
Moonstone Axe Intermediate
Heavy-hitting great-axe. Omega Special area attack is extremely powerful
🎩
Black Coat Intermediate
Has a guard parry and strong missile specials — safer playstyle
🗡️
Sister Blades Advanced
Fastest weapon in the game when mastered — steep learning curve
🔥
Umbral Flames Advanced
Unique ranged playstyle. Rewards patience and positioning
💀
Argent Skull Advanced
Technical shell-based system — high ceiling but complex to use
✨ Boon Selection
Boons are divine upgrades from Olympian gods. Focus on 2–3 gods per run to build powerful synergies.
| God | Rating | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apollo | S | Area expansion + Daze status. Versatile and beginner-friendly |
| Poseidon | S | Knockback safety + Sandstorm synergy combos are devastating |
| Hermes | S | Speed buffs help every build — Nitro Boost is near-mandatory |
| Hestia | A | Smolder Ring passive burn damage is excellent for clearing rooms |
| Aphrodite | A | Weak debuff reduces enemy damage — stabilizes survivability |
| Zeus | B | Chain lightning is convenient for clearing groups of enemies |
🃏 Arcana Card Priority
Arcana Cards are unlocked via the Consecration of Ashes incantation. Manage your Grasp (Spirit cost) carefully.
1
Wayward Son
Restore HP on room completion — Big survivability boost in every run
1
Sorceress
Omega Move cast speed up — Balances offense and safety
2

Slow time while using Omega moves — Crucial for landing big Omega hits safely
4
Death
Grants 1 Death Defiance per run — Essential safety net for boss fights
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ❌ Being too picky about gods — early on take what you get and adapt
- ❌ Ignoring Magick recovery — without Magick you cannot cast Omega Moves
- ❌ Rushing the Surface route — clear the Underworld consistently first
- ❌ Forcing Duo Boons — the conditions are strict; ignore them early on
❓ FAQ
Which route should I tackle first — Underworld or Surface?
The Underworld route first. The Surface route requires the Permeation of Witching Wards incantation, which needs Cinder (dropped by Hecate). Get comfortable in the Underworld before venturing to the Surface.
Who should I give the first Nectar to?
Give the first Nectar to Hecate to get the Silver Ring keepsake (Magick +50). Second priority is Odysseus for Knucklebones (reduces enemy HP in early rooms).
What happens when I die?
You return to the Crossroads. Gathered resources, unlocked incantations, and NPC conversations all carry over. Death is part of the design — you grow stronger each run.
