The first-ever sequel from Supergiant Games builds on the best aspects of the original god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler in an all-new, action-packed, endlessly replayable experience rooted in the Underworld of Greek myth and its deep connections to the dawn of witchcraft.
BATTLE BEYOND THE UNDERWORLD
As the immortal Princess of the Underworld, you'll explore a bigger, deeper mythic world, vanquishing the forces of the Titan of Time with the full might of Olympus behind you, in a sweeping story that continually unfolds through your every setback and accomplishment.
MASTER WITCHCRAFT AND DARK SORCERY
Infuse your legendary weapons of Night with ancient magick, so that none may stand in your way. Become stronger still with powerful Boons from more than a dozen Olympian gods, from Apollo to Zeus. There are nearly limitless ways to build your abilities.

MINGLE WITH (MORE) GODS, GHOSTS, AND MONSTERS
Meet a cast of dozens of fully-voiced, larger-than-life characters, including plenty of new faces and some old friends. Grow closer to them through a variety of new interactions, and experience countless unique story events based on how your journey unfolds.
EVERY RUN IS ITS OWN ADVENTURE
New locations, challenges, upgrade systems, and surprises await as you delve into the ever-shifting Underworld again and again. Reveal the mysteries of the Arcana Altar, tame witchy familiars, and gather reagents using Tools of the Unseen to get closer to your goal.
THE PERKS OF IMMORTALITY
Thanks to a variety of permanent upgrades and the return of God Mode, you don't have to be a god yourself to experience what Hades II has to offer. But if you happen to be one, you can brave escalating challenges for greater rewards, and prove just how divine you really are.

SIGNATURE SUPERGIANT STYLE
Rich, atmospheric presentation and storytelling fused with responsive action is the hallmark of Supergiant's titles. Vivid new hand-painted environments, even smoother real-time 3D characters, and an electrifying original score make this mythic world burst with life.
COMING TO EARLY ACCESS
Getting player feedback through key phases of development was vital for the original Hades, so we plan to reprise that process once more, once this game is further along. Add Hades II to your wishlist to be the first to know when Early Access is available!

I'm just glad that the first patch update allowed you to use multiple tools at once. Grinding is my biggest complaint with this game so far.

biggest takeaway for your overall playthrough *IF* you care about maxing out aspects: stack the hell up on bones 😆

Even with over 100h in the first game, it took me a while to get the sirens and Chronos down. Can't wait to learn the extreme measures versions.

My wish i knew to save the Charon gift cards for later, i am still not sure how to get them exactly but probably by buying everything in Charon’s shop in any encounter.

[ShiroiAkuma]

Love the new videos.
Hope this games launch gives you a good visibility bump.

Oh, I didn't know you can buy nightmare. Not that I've unlocked Fear yet as I'm still figuring out Chronos 😂

[PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

I wonder if someone will be able to get to 60 grasp (the theoretical maximum to get all the numbered cards). Past 28 the grind is atrocious, even to get 1 single grasp.

Dude I'm so glad you're back with Hades content. I got good at Hades I by binging all your tutorials back in the day so seeing your takes on II is the game's bonus feature that I was really looking forward to!

[MrMarnel]

My go-to keepsake for pushing bosses was Odysseus's. I like that it gives both an offensive and defensive boost.

Hey man !
Great sum up !

It just hit me with this vid that one of the reasons why I love watching all your vids on Hades is because you're a very good, patient, and eloquent explainer.

And I just remembered that you work as an educator at a school.
Since last year, I'm also teaching animation weekly in 2 primary schools, and I fully understand now the patience, clarity, and eloquence needed for this job. I have no doubt that plays a big part on how you present your videos in general.
Props to you, man.

I've recently seen quite an abundance of new Hades 2 related channels popping up (or gamers tutorials channels who are now currently covering Hades 2), so it's great to see all the new attention to H2, but that will also probably mean a bit of a dip in viewership on your end, since the market all of a sudden got flooded.
But that can also mean a bump up for your old Hades vids, since the game seems to have had a significant bump up in gamers since H2 came out, and that could mean new viewers for you.

I, for one, will keep watching your vids on H2, as I'm just used to you, your gang (Becky, Kitty and the kids), and your fun-loving vibe antics.

Cheers !

Note: Armored enemies can push through your cast slowly but they aren't fully locked down in the 3rd area
