Hades 2: Tips and tricks

1. Don't be afraid of death - just like its predecessor, Hades 2 makes death not a punishment, but an integral part of the game, thanks to which you unlock new content, experience story events and get stronger. Every attempt is a success - don't give up;
2. Unlock permanent upgrades - during almost every visit to the main hub, you can upgrade or unlock a new feature that will make your next adventures to defeat the titan Chronos easier. Don't be afraid to spend the currency you've earned - each subsequent expedition will bring you more of it;
3. Consider which chambers to go to - during expeditions, you will often have to make a reward-driven decision about which chambers you want to visit. Consider this decision according to your current needs;
4. Don't skimp on magic - Melinoe's magic bar regenerates after entering a new chamber. So don't hesitate and use magic - it's better to use a powerful attack and miss than not to use it at all;
5. Defense over offense - unlike magick, regaining lost health is much more difficult. Prioritize avoiding attacks over aggression and try to avoid damage;
6. Beware of armored enemies - armored enemies (marked with a yellow health bar) are not only much more durable, but also more dangerous, because their armor makes them resistant to your attacks. This means that until you destroy their armor, you cannot interrupt their attacks. Beware of them and be very careful when fighting these enemies by paying attention to their attack animations;
7. Talk to NPCs - this will bring you various benefits, unlock new game elements or progress the plot. We recommend talking to every NPC in the hub before each expedition - especially if they have a yellow exclamation mark above their head indicating a particularly important conversation;
