Players who reach the lowest levels of the Underworld inHades 2will find a surprise waiting for them behind a very specific gate. Melinoë will encounter many powerful gods on her journey to dispatch Chronos, but if she is lucky, she will encounter the God of the Underworld himself,Hades.
Unlike the all-powerful run-ender players knew Hades to be in the original, inHades 2he is a shell of his former self. Held in Sisyphus and Bouldy’s old chamber, Hades can no longer rely on his immense power. Instead, hebrings the fight to Chronosby offering his daughter Melinoë a fraction of the powers he once wielded.Hades' best boonsare extremely powerful. And though they come late in a run, their real usefulness comes in the final confrontation against Chronos. Because every boon he offers can be helpful, this list will rank them all.
Hades 2is currently in Early Access. This means that nearly everything in the game is subject to change before the official 1.0 release. Should anything related to Hades boons be altered in any way, this list will be updated to reflect those changes.
