On the flip side, if you must have a core boon like Divine Dash: fill the Attack, Special, and Cast slots with whatever, then Athena will offer Divine Dash next time you see her.

So if you’re fishing for tier 2 boons, duos, or legendaries you might want to fill those so you stop getting offered a cast you don’t care about every time. Third, the game tries real hard to fill your “core” Attack-Special-Cast-Dash slots: you are guaranteed to be offered one if a slot is empty. Second, selling a boon does not remove the god from your pool, so that’s not an escape hatch. The takeaway is if you’re planning on forcing another god in Asphodel, try to take a maximum of 3 different gods in Tartarus. You can force more with keepsakes, but then you’ve got even more gods in the pool and you’ll be less likely to get any particular god later on. Three things to know: first, each run will try to keep you to 4 gods (not counting Chaos and Hermes). Worth noting: in addition to the increased chance for rare or epic boons, god keepsakes also increase the odds you’ll get offered a duo or legendary from that god if you’re eligible. I hardly ever take a god keepsake into Elysium. The Tartarus god will be your primary damage source or one that you want to lock in, and the Asphodel god will be angling for a good complementary boon or trying to increase your odds for a duo or legendary if you already have the gods you want in your pool. Nearly all my build suggestions will tell you to start with a particular god (“Get Zeus on attack”) or class of god (“Get a god with a percentage-based attack boost”), so you’ll want to use the god keepsakes in Tartarus and probably Asphodel.

However, eventually you’ll want to tug the strings in your favor. Because you should be experimenting with all the different combinations while you learn the ropes, this is for the best.
Zagreus hades generator#
When you’re first starting out with Hades, you’re at the mercy of the game’s random number generator for the gods and boons you get offered. Struggling through Elysium when your build isn’t effective yet or you have the ‘wrong’ hammers stinks.

But after that, you might not see them again! Or you won’t get offered the duo you really need! It’s easy to say “just get Hunting Blades” but I don’t want to leave you high and dry if that doesn’t happen. You can force seeing gods easily enough with keepsakes, so there’s a good chance you can get a core boon from them. There’s nothing wrong with those! But you get a variety of weapons in this game for a reason, and all of them are potentially strong. There’s plenty of workable builds where you can effectively ignore the weapon (cast duos, juiced-up Tidal Dash, hit-and-run with Doom, spam calls with Quick Favor or Smoldering Air).
Zagreus hades how to#
I want to show you how to competently use each weapon aspect, and give you some build recipes you can lean on for consistent, repeatable clears. You’re trying out other aspects, and some feel unworkable. You have a couple of aspects that you like, but when you get a clear, it feels like luck most of the time.

Having trouble beating the final boss consistently? Some weapon aspects seem totally unusable? This is the guide for you.
