Melinoe / Supergiant Games

Once you’ve filled out your infernal arsenal, you’ll get the opportunity to upgrade your weapons further, making them even more powerful. This is done through the Weapon Aspects mechanic, which let you choose different ways to make your weapons better than before. Each weapon has three different aspects that are all unlocked separately, so you can create the perfect build for you.

We’ll explain how to unlock Aspects and what all of them do for each weapon.

How to unlock Weapon Aspects in Hades 2

Weapon Aspects / Supergiant Games

Firstly, you’ll need to unlock all five weapons in the infernal arsenal by crafting them with the required materials. You also need to use them all in runs at least once. After that, the next time you encounter Hecate at the end of the Erebus, she’ll explain the concept of Aspects and a new incantation will  be unlocked, which requires the following materials:

• 5 Bronze
• 1 Nightshade

If you need help getting those materials, we have a guide on how to get Bronze in Hades 2, and how to get Underworld flowers in Hades 2.

Once you have, the Rank 1 for Aspect of Melinoe will be unlocked by default, but all others will have to be unlocked with materials. Each aspect can go as high as Rank 5.
