Here you will find tons of secrets and hidden details from Hades 2!

1.The Supportive Shade: The famous supportive shade from the original game makes a return! You can find him near the entrance to the Mourning Fields. If you interact with him enough, you can eventually use the Tablet of Peace to invite him to the Crossroads.

2.Godly Grudges: If you take an Olympian’s boon and encounter them in a later run, they expect you to pick them again. If you reject them to choose someone else, they will grudgingly help you, making for unique dialogue interactions.

3.The Secret Cauldron Recipe: If you purge 3 total boons in Tartarus, a secret incantation unlocks that allows you to “purge” boons between every underworld biome.

4.Hades and Persephone’s Hidden Room: After beating the main story, you can visit a hidden NPC room in the House of Hades to talk to Hades and Persephone.

5.The Unnamed Familiar: You can unlock a latent slot at your familiar’s shrine for the Cat.

6.Skelly’s Replacement: The training dummy Skeleamus resides in the Crossroads, complete with unique target tests.

7.Polyphemus’s Poseidon Connection: The cyclops Polyphemus has painted nails and hair matching the color of Poseidon. In the myth of the Odyssey, he calls upon Poseidon to sink Odysseus’s ship.

8.The Call-Back to Zag: Through dialogue at the training grounds, you can eventually get updates on how Zagreus is doing.

9.Medea’s Lore: Encountering Medea in the City of Ephyra is a massive deep dive into mythology. Her black fleece item and poison are references to the Golden Fleece and the betrayals she committed in Corinth.

10.Scylla’s Musical Easter Egg: If you turn off the in-game music in the settings before the boss fight against Scylla and the Sirens, she will notice the silence, get visibly annoyed, and shout at you for ruining her vibe.

11.King Vermin: A rare, non-mandatory secret boss with a full health bar that can occasionally spawn, serving as an underground counterpart to the Kraken on the surface.

12.The Return of Bouldy: Bouldy from the original game has managed to escape the Underworld again and can occasionally be encountered by observant players.

13.Skeleus’s Identity: The new training dummy in the Crossroads, Skeleus, shares the exact same mechanics as Skelly from the first game, awarding the “Luckier Tooth” (an upgrade to Skelly’s Lucky Tooth).

14.The Tablet of Peace: You can use the Tablet of Peace to interact with specific shades, such as Achilles or the Supportive Shade from the first game, and send them back to the Crossroads.

15.Double Boons Expectation: If you carry a specific Olympian’s boon and get presented with a double boon in a future chamber, the offering god will expect you to choose them again.

16.Odysseus’s Epithet: The codex entry for Odysseus refers to him as a “man of many ways.” This is a direct Easter egg referencing the opening lines of Homer’s Odyssey.

17.Medea’s Spurned Rage: Found in the city of Ephira, Medea holds a cup of blood and poison, directly referencing her mythological attempts to poison Theseus and her vengeance against Jason.

18.Circe’s Transformed Men: On Circe’s island, the animals wandering around aren’t entirely wild. They are nods to the mythology of Circe transforming men and creatures into pigs or birds.

19.Gorgon Amulet Keepsake: This keepsake is a direct connection to the myth of Medusa and Athena’s involvement in her tale.

20.White Antler Keepsake: This item pays homage to the deer, which was the sacred animal of the goddess Artemis.

21.Lion Fang Keepsake: A nod to the myth of the Nemean Lion, which was famously slain by Heracles.

22.Chronos Pausing the Game: If you attempt to pause the game during the final boss battle against Chronos, he will mock you for trying to freeze time.

23.Chronos Perfect Run Recognition: If you manage to defeat Chronos without taking a single hit, he will voice genuine shock as he fades, uttering lines like “Not even a scratch…?”

24.Resource Harvesting Callouts: If you stop to mine ore, dig for seeds, or gather resources during a mini-boss or assistant fight (such as when fighting alongside Heracles or Artemis), they will yell at you in disbelief for gathering materials mid-combat.

25.Pet Cat Distractions: Bringing Frinos or Toula into boss fights will occasionally cause the bosses to complain or comment on how annoying it is to be attacked by a tiny animal.

26.Godly Low-HP Concern: If you enter a boon chamber with dangerously low health, the Olympians will alter their opening greeting to address your injuries instead of their usual dialogue.
