TheHades 2universe has expanded further with the recent release of the Unseen Update. This update adds many new gameplay features and abilities toHades 2, which make Melinoe’s adventure more exciting and are sure to prove useful as she works to defeat Chronos’s forces and save her family in the Underworld.
One standout addition inHades 2’s The Unseen Update is Godsent Hexes, which are, essentially,Selene’s Gifts of the Moon hexesinfused with Olympian power. Godsent Hexes are, in essence, Duo Boons that can be obtained through Selene’s Path of Stars upgrades. This new feature definitely adds more firepower to Melinoe’s arsenal, and Godsent Hexes have the potential to change the wayHades 2fans navigate their runs.
Selene’s Boons Get an Upgrade in Hades 2’s The Unseen Update
As the Moon Incarnate, Selene offers Melinoe a selection of powerful hexes to choose from, and those hexes can beupgraded through the Path of Starsevery time Selene is encountered on the field. Following the release of the Unseen Update, Melinoe’s chosen hex from Selene has a chance to become “Godsent,” which infuses the hex with the ability of a specific god and creates something akin to a Duo Boon. Every Olympian is capable of creating a Godsent Hex, and their effects are as follows:
Athena also has a new Boon called Task Force, which allows Melinoe to use Hexes more times per enemy encounter.
Godsent Hexes are developer Supergiant Games' way to further strengthen Selene’s Boons inHades 2, especially those that are used to deal damage to enemies. Prior to the Unseen Update, some hexes could feel useless if they were not complimented by the right Nocturnal Arms andOlympian Boons, but Godsent Hexes make Selene’s combat-focused Boons more viable overall. This improvement to Selene’s Boons is especially important now, since the recent update also introduces powerful new mini-bosses and gives players access to powered-up versions of the game’s Guardians.
Hades 2’s The Unseen Update is More Than Godsent Hexes
Changes to Selene’s hexes and new threats are not all that can be found inHades 2’s The Unseen Update, though, as the patch also introduces newhidden aspects of the Nocturnal Arms. The special abilities attached to those hidden aspects encourage fans to adapt their play styles, and there are sure to be some awesome combos that can be created by pairing them with certain Godsent Hexes. Additionally, the hidden aspects will undoubtedly have some powerful synergies with many of the Olympian Boons that can be picked up during a run.
AsHades 2nears its full release, Supergiant Games is pulling out all the stops to give players a well-rounded experience as Melinoe. The new additions not only make it easier to fight powerful boss enemies, like Chronos and Prometheus, the Unseen Update also increases the variety of viable builds and enhances the overall gameplay as players progress through the story.
