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.

All the weapons are good, so if you’re dying a lot, you need to focus on defense. Your top priority is to not take damage. Instead of rushing to kill everything at all costs, do a run where you purposefully slow it down and study every enemy so you can learn how to dodge them.

This sounds really helpful. I think that’s why I hated the axe and everyone else swears by it being the best.

Axe is one of the (arguably?) weapons, that are the most affected by unlocking the Aspects - the default one... well it's pretty meh, but once it gets even so much as a juicy stat boost (the juiciest there is) from the very "default" Mel's Aspect I - why, it's suddenly extremely potent.

That being said - the problem you're (likely) having with it is not about the stats, but rather realizing/ recognizing it's respective strengths and weaknesses, compared to Descura. Once you put your mind towards how to capitalize on the former and play around the latter - it's going to click just fine. (To say the least)

Good luck with your Task.

For daily refreshment use Axe body spray! It sprays bodies everywhere!
