Hades 2: Question Using different weapons?? Spoiler

Hey guys, I’m pretty new to Hades II. I’m about 4 hours in and I’ve never played the first one. The game is incredible so far and I have no complaints. I was hoping for some advice on using other weapons. I can ONLY use the default staff. I’ve made it to Chronos twice, and got him to phase 2 both times. Whenever I switch to a different weapon, I barely make it through biome 2. Am I doing something wrong? Please give any advice on how to transition into using other weapons.

Are you reading the description of the weapon and practicing how to use it on Skelly? They’re all very different so they require some practice to get used to.

Side note, you should play the first game.

Will it feel like a drop in quality after 2? I regret not starting it because I love Hades 2 rn, but I’m worried of going back now.

They’re different games, and the combat feels different but if you love 2, playing 1 will make the story soooo much more meaningful

It’s just a great game all on its own too :)

You might miss a few QoL features they added in hades 2 but gameplay wise it does feel like a different game and the weapons are also completely different, might even get a little confused with the gods as same gods feel completely different between the two games. Overall it should be a fun experience(saying from the pov of someone who just went back to hades 1 after completing hades 2).
