Hades guide: Skills and boons from the Gods of Olympus
Hades has many Olympians to aid you in your escape. Here are the best god boons and skills for you to obtain during your runs.
Hades offers a lot of depth for your dungeon delves. There are nine Olympians for you to meet, as well as Primordial Chaos, and each god has boons to completely alter your playstyle. There are also Heroic, Legendary, and Duo boons with even better buffs, and the Call Aid ability that acts as a god’s “super.” Most of the information has already been shared by contributors in Hades‘ community-driven wiki, so here’s our guide to help you out further.
Note: This guide is intended for Hades’ early access stage and certain mechanics may change in due course. For more information, check out our Hades guides and features hub.
