Hades 2: How to unlock all weapons

Good news first: You don't have to spend hours grinding to get all of Hades 2's current weapons to unlock. Instead, you will be able to start disclosing the individual species quite early and, on average, you will find the resources you need for this fairly quickly.

In order to be able to add a new weapon to your arsenal, you have to go to the Training room go and find all possible options around a circle. You can use a separate menu to select the respective combat tool – provided you have the appropriate materials. Overall, Hades 2 currently has the following weapons:

• Witch's staff: Melinoe's standard weapon with which you fight your first battles.
• Sister Blades: Two individual swords with which you can strike quickly and throw several small daggers using your special ability. Can already be unlocked for a silver.
• Shadow Flames: Two torches whose projectiles automatically target enemies or circle around you using a special ability. To unlock you need three silver and three embers.
• Moonstone Ax: For the big two-handed sword you need 15 silver in order to be able to swing it against your enemies. With the special ability you can also block enemy attacks.
• Argent Skull: True to the name, you will receive a skull with explosive ammunition and powerful area attacks. However, you first have to reach the second region and then have to invest an additional two glass rocks and a bronze.

Where do you get the materials from?

In order to even unlock a new weapon, you have to resources collect. But don't worry, this doesn't really end in a grind either. You can find silver and ash quite quickly, and you will also come across the later materials more often than not. The most important requirement is this Crescent Pickaxewhich you receive after investing just one piece of ash.

You will then receive the necessary materials as follows:

• Embers: You get it as soon as you have killed the boss of the Erebos region.
• Silver: You can mine in Erebos as soon as you find a vein on a level. In total you will receive three silver ore per vein.
• Glass rocks: You can find it in the third region and you will also receive up to three pieces per one-time mining.
• Bronze: You can mine this brownish resource in the overworld and, of course, get three pieces per vein.

What is the best weapon?

Well, that's a difficult question to answer because, like the first Hades, it depends on your playstyle. Do you like that one more? Close combat, then the sister blades are a good choice. Alternatively, the ax is also worth considering, but it is a bit slower in comparison.

The shadow flames, on the other hand, are something in between, particularly notable for their special attack good against smaller numbers of opponents suitable. However, our impression so far is that they are also very dependent on the improvements you acquire over the course of a run. The same applies to the skull, which, like the gun in Hades, is very special.

The witch's staff is again like the classic sword in Hades: A All-rounder, who has particularly powerful Omega attacks. It's best to just try each weapon out a few times to get a feel for it. Not to forget that an additional degree of individualization is possible with the aspects that follow later.

Last but not least, it should be mentioned that Hades 2 is still in development Early access located. A lot can change before the full version is released and more weapons will probably be added over time. This also applies to the possibility of Playing Hades 2 on the Steam Deck is already a good choice.
