IN Hades 2, Mélinoé crosses many rooms to face all kinds of dangers. To choose her path, a young woman can know what will be offered to her at this or that next level. If you’re not clear on all the symbols, here’s a survival guide to help you identify all the perks, reagents, and powers of the game.
Hades 2 it was published in early access and available content it is already bigger as the first game from Supergiant Games. Of course, we find the same fundamentals that made it successful, but Rogue-lite has also managed to rebuild itself. There are tradesas acquaintances who come with Mélinoé. and the divine pantheon has been updated.
The wider content also means many more symbols to remember. We notice that it is run after run Hades 2 : there are new visual elements. Especially those of the gods and goddesses who appear in this work, such as Hestia, Selene or Hephaestus. But also those of all the resources you’ll want to get to progress your adventure.
After more than twenty-five hours of underground and surface research, we managed to come across numerous symbols. Obviously we end up learning them by heart, so let’s start over. But if you’re just starting your journey, a survival guide is never a problem. Here is a list of all symbols already encountered in the game. If others appear, they will be added.
All the blessings of the gods in Hades 2
The blessings of the gods are temporary and are obtained during the run. They disappear every time you die. Perks have different degrees of quality (common, rare, epic, heroic, legendary) and can sometimes be combined (duo), when two deities decide to combine to give you a different kind of power.
Each god offers benefits that reflect their divine abilities. Therefore, Hephaistos will give abilities that improve the characteristics of your weapon. Poseidon will provide abilities to repel enemies (like a wave) or receive resources, like an ocean depositing its riches on a shore. And so on.
Ashes, psyche, bones…resources Hades 2 knowing
How far is the timeHades where we didn’t have many resources to manage! Nectars, ambrosia, blood, diamonds and fish. Gems, obsidians and chthonic keys. The next episode offers much more. Here are the reagents and resources you can collect from the rooms.
These resources are retained even when Mélinoé dies. The uses of these elements vary: nectar allows you to deepen your relationships with the characters in the game; the bones are used to trade with the wretched merchant; psyche to increase the number of secret cards that can be activated. And so on.
Bonuses and temporary improvements in Hades 2
The deities grant you powers with each new run. You’ll also find temporary bonuses and power-ups along your way, which will disappear at the end of your attempt. They increase health (centaur heart) or mana (pentagram bottle), raise the level of divine benefit (Power Grenade) and so on.
Bonuses and upgrades help strengthen your buildings. This means when you effectively combine the divine benefits with each other, but also the secret cards and these elements listed below. If you have a build that consumes a lot of mana, it’s best to take these bottles as often as possible.
Bosses of Hades 2 and other symbols to spot
There are also certain doors that indicate the presence of bosses or mini-bosses — the symbols are pretty self-explanatory. The exchange office reports that Charon’s shop is nearby. There are also hints when you change regions (between Erebus and Océanos, for example). Arrows do not always have the same direction.
Finally, it should be noted that some portals have alternative views. For example, you’ll find three Power Grenades in the area before meeting Chronos. Or two divine blessings side by side (then you will have to choose one and upset the other). Or a god adorned with small arrows suggesting enhanced benefit.
