How to Unlock Aspects for Weapons in Hades 2
Here are the steps you need to follow to unlock Aspects in Hades 2:
1. Forge All Five Nocturnal Arms
Before you can unlock Aspects, you must first craft all five legendary weapons — the Witch’s Staff, Sister Blades, Moonstone Axe, Umbral Flames, and Argent Skull. This is no easy feat, as it requires exploring most areas of the Surface and Underworld to obtain the necessary resources.
2. Use Each Weapon in Combat
After forging the weapons, take each one for a spin during an escape attempt from the Underworld. You must use all five arms in actual combat for the next step to be triggered.
3. Speak to Hecate
Once the previous conditions are met, seek out Headmistress Hecate in Erebus. She will share the invaluable “Aspects of Night and Darkness” Incantation recipe with you, unlocking the path to Aspects.
4. Gather Incantation Ingredients
The “Aspects of Night and Darkness” Incantation requires:
- 5 x Bronze (Found on the Surface with the Crescent Pick)
- 1 x Nightshade (Grow from seeds found in Erebus using the Silver Spade)
5. Cast the Incantation
With all ingredients in hand, make your way back to the Crossroads and interact with the Cauldron to cast the “Aspects of Night and Darkness” Incantation.
6. Visit the Silver Pool
This mystical ritual unlocks the Aspect menu at the Silver Pool chamber. Here, you can spend resources to permanently unlock and upgrade individual Aspects for each weapon.
7. Unlock and Upgrade Desired Aspects
On the first tab, you can craft new Aspects using a variety of materials like Silver, Glassrock, and more. The second tab allows you to awaken and upgrade unlocked Aspects up to Rank V for increased potency.
With Aspects at your disposal, Melinoe’s combat prowess knows no bounds.
