Supergiant Games takes us back to the underworld in Hades 2, with a new God to slay and plenty of incredible new Boons to play around with. The game was released into early access in May 2024, and while the full launch isn’t slated until 2025, there’s plenty of content to get to grips with right now.
This guide contains everything GGRecon has covered relating to Hades 2 so far. From the best boss strategies to what each item resource does, you’ll find all your answers here.
Beginner’s Guide
While Hades 2 is a sequel to the first game in the series, it plays vastly differently. Our new protagonist, Melinoe, has all-new combat abilities, and your mission objective has you breaking into the Underworld instead of out of it.
Our beginner’s guide will walk you through a few tips you’ll likely want to know when you’re just getting started out in the game.

Combat is the crux of what you’ll be doing in this game, so it will pay to become as knowledgeable as you can about its intricacies.
