How to beat Scylla and the Sirens in Hades 2
To beat Scylla and the Sirens, you’re going to need to take out each of the band members one by one. Despite sharing a health bar, by removing the supporting bandmates from the equation, you’ll have a much easier time against Scylla.
The drummer and keytarist each have their own set of attacks, while Scylla sings and manoeuvres around the map, they support her. Talk about a diva!
Occasionally, Scylla will retreat into her shell and let her cronies do the work; this is the optimal point you should be attacking them. She'll hit you with some wave attacks, like Headmistress Hecate, but will also attempt to hit you with some lesser enemies and area-of-effect attacks.
After defeating them the first time, Scylla will likely revive them, however, after beating them down for a second time, they stay down, leaving Scylla the only thing standing in your way.
Reward for beating Scylla and the Sirens in Hades 2
For beating Scylla and the Sirens in Hades 2, you’ll be rewarded with a precious Pearl, as well as being able to progress to the next area in Melinoe’s vengeful journey.
The Pearls, like the Titan’s Blood in the first game, can be used to unlock new Aspects for your weapons, along with some incantations. They’re a rare commodity, so be sure to stock up on them so you have plenty of upgrades to choose from.
