Melinoe encounters a variety of mythological bosses throughout her travels in Hades 2 and earns some special rewards for defeating each of them. Many of these rewards are crucial for unlocking important items and overall progression. If you’re wondering what to expect, here’s our handy guide to all boss rewards in Hades 2 and how to use them.
All Boss Rewards in Hades 2 & How to Use Them
Below we’ve listed the rewards for all major boss fights encountered in Hades 2 so far, along with what those rewards can be used for. Remember that these fights drop the same reward each time, so there is an incentive to farm them.
As the game is currently in Early Access, more boss fights may be added later on, and this list will be updated accordingly. Remember that the latter bosses Cyclops and Eris are only encountered if Melinoe detours from her predestined path up to the surface.
