Third, the game tries real hard to fill your “core” Attack-Special-Cast-Dash slots: you are nearly guaranteed to be offered one if a slot is empty. Second, selling a boon does not remove the god from your pool, so that’s not an escape hatch. The takeaway is if you’re planning on forcing another god in Asphodel, try to take a maximum of 3 different gods in Tartarus. You can force more with keepsakes, but then you’ve got even more gods in the pool and you’ll be less likely to get any particular god later on. Three things to know: first, each run will try to keep you to 4 gods (not counting Chaos and Hermes). Worth noting: in addition to the increased chance for rare or epic boons, god keepsakes also increase the odds you’ll get offered a duo or legendary from that god if you’re eligible. At that point I’m typically either taking the Coin Purse or offensive keepsakes (Hourglass, Sigil, Earing) to scale up or using defensive keepsakes (Acorn, Spearpoint, Tooth) to tough out the final bosses. I hardly ever take a god keepsake into Elysium. The Tartarus god will be your primary damage source or one that you want to lock in, and the Asphodel god will be angling for a good complementary boon or trying to increase your odds for a duo or legendary if you already have the gods you want in your pool. Nearly all my build suggestions will tell you to start with a particular god (“Get Zeus on attack”) or class of god (“Get a god with a percentage-based attack boost”), so you’ll want to use the god keepsakes in Tartarus and probably Asphodel. However, eventually you’ll want to tug the strings in your favor. Because you should be experimenting with all the different combinations while you learn the ropes, this is for the best. When you’re first starting out with Hades, you’re at the mercy of the game’s random number generator for the gods and boons you get offered. Struggling through Elysium when your build isn’t effective yet or you have the ‘wrong’ hammers stinks. Once the basics are in place, the build has a couple of different avenues to scale up in power.īasically the quicker and more easily a build is effectively "online", the happier I am.You might not get it! Of course, if a particular aspect and hammer combination is a spicy way to murder things, I’ll call those out. Doesn’t necessarily need a specific Daedalus Hammer.But after that, you might not see them again! Or you won’t get offered the duo you really need! It’s easy to say “just get Hunting Blades” but I don’t want to leave you high and dry if that doesn’t happen. You can force seeing gods with keepsakes, so there’s a good chance you can get a core boon from them. There’s nothing wrong with those! But you get a variety of weapons in this game for a reason, and all of them are potentially strong. There’s plenty of workable builds where you can ignore the weapon (cast duos, juiced-up Tidal Dash, hit-and-run with Doom, spam calls with Quick Favor or Smoldering Air). Works with the core mechanics of the weapon aspect.I’ve got untold hundreds of hours in and I’ve cleared 32+ heat with every weapon aspect (now 50 Heat with every aspect!) and I’ve cleared at 50 51 52 55 57 heat, so I know some things. I love the heck out of this game and I’ve played it a ton. If you read just one more thing, I recommend the section on controlling your build. Fast attacks or specials want boons that add a new damage source: Zeus, Dionysus, or Ares. Slow attacks or specials want the boons that confer percentage-based increases: Aphrodite, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, and Poseidon. If you want to understand one key to success and get to playing, it’s this: I want to show you how to competently use each weapon aspect, and give you some build recipes you can lean on for consistent, repeatable clears. You’re trying out other aspects, and some feel unworkable. You have a couple of aspects that you like, but when you get a clear, it feels like luck most of the time. When you get to Elysium or Styx, things feel hard still.You realize you still have a ton more runs in your future to power up all of your tools and complete the various story threads.You’ve cleared the final boss a couple of times.This is the guide that I wish existed when I was roughly at the midpoint of my Hades playing. This is loaded with spoilers for the game’s weapons, gods, boons, and the final boss.Īlso, if you have no idea what I’m talking about with this whole Hades thing, check out Polygon’s Game of the Year recap for a typical glowing review. Having trouble beating the final boss of Hades consistently? Some weapon aspects seem totally unusable? This is the guide for you. Use your best judgment on Gods’ Pride vs Gods’ Legacy.Use Family Favorite and don’t worry about it (mostly).
