As someone who’s been immersed in the captivating world of Hades II since its Early Access debut, you might already be acquainted with the process of lifting Melinoe’s curse that shields her from enduring the surface realm. If you’re a freshcomer, don’t worry! It’s a simple task that can be accomplished by embarking on a few journeys through the Underworld. Whether you emerge victorious or not, the key is to persist until Moros, the embodiment of Doom, appears on the game over screen.

After his intervention, you’ll find him at the Crossroads, ready to assist you in breaking the curse. To achieve this, you need to discover the ‘Breaking an Unyielding Bond’ Recipe in Hecate’s Cauldron. To accomplish that, you must collect the necessary components:

  • 2x Lotus – Can be found in Oceanus
  • 2x Moss – From short visits to the Surface
  • 2x Nightshade – Can be dug up using the Silver Spade in Erebus
  • 2x Thalamus – Acquired using the Silver Spade tool inside Chaos’ realm

Although these duties might appear dull, they can be accomplished with just a handful of attempts. Remember, make sure you’ve got your Silver Spade on hand so you can excavate those items in the wilderness. Once everything is set up, just head back to the Cauldron and mix the ingredients according to the recipe.

Survive The City of Ephyra and the Rifts of Thessaly

Upon stepping into the open world, you’ll encounter a series of formidable adversaries that require skill and strategy to overcome. Navigating this challenge isn’t straightforward, so expect numerous attempts before successfully reaching the third zone on the surface, Mount Olympus.

In your journey on the Surface, Ephyra City serves as the initial region where you’ll need to thrive. This complex city is teeming with adversaries. Each entrance offers unpredictable benefits and rewards, which you can secure by vanquishing all foes within each chamber. The ultimate boss of this area is none other than Polyphemus, the Cyclops, so be sure to gear up for his powerful assaults.

In the second zone on the Surface lies the Thessalian Rifts, a region that was submerged by Poseidon as a barricade against Cronos’ forces advancing towards the Mountain. The formidable boss in this area is Erys, who can be quite daunting for those new to combat.

Mount Olympus

After Polyphemus and Erys are vanquished, it’s high time to explore the newest part of Hades II. Mount Olympus, once a place held in great esteem as the home of the Greek gods, is now a battle-scarred landscape controlled by Chronos’ followers and shrouded in a frozen chill.

In this critical phase, players need to gear up for the numerous obstacles ahead. Be aware of the falling rubble, it appears a massive conflict is taking place at the mountain peak’s summit.

In this region, the ultimate adversary is Prometheus, the Titan known for stealing the divine fire from Mount Olympus. He’s a tough nut to crack and it’s crucial to understand his attack patterns before attempting to defeat him. You may need several attempts to emerge victorious, but at least you now know who’s standing by in the finale. The new Nocturnal Arms, the Black Coat, might offer some assistance in the challenge ahead.

This isn’t yet the top layer of Hades II; instead, you’ll find the Summit there, where Zeus and the Olympians are currently battling against Chronos’ troops. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to visit it until its significant update arriving early next year.

For now, Olympus beckons.
