All Boons in Hades 2
Players will encounter numerous gods, and other characters, as they work to complete runs of Hades 2. Those encounters lead to Boons, which upgrade Melinoe’s abilities in a variety of ways. Putting together synergistic Boons in Hades 2 is very important, and this guide will help players determine the Boons that they want to target by providing a complete list of them.
Nearly every Boon in Hades 2 can come in four rarities (Common, Rare, Epic, Heroic) and can be improved during a run by increasing its level. As players are likely to expect, a Boon is more powerful when it is at a higher rarirty/level. In almost all cases, this guide lists values associated with Boons when they are Common and Level 1, and those values increase at higher rarities and levels.
