How To Unlock All Weapon Aspects In Hades

Among the six weapons you can wield in Hades, each has four different weapon aspects you can unlock to change how they all function in battle. These aspects alter how a weapon looks and acts, essentially giving Zagreus a new weapon to use as he tries to reach the surface. Combined with Boons from various figures of Greek myth, these modifications can create incredibly powerful builds for your next run.

Every aspect of the game requires you to meet specific requirements and prerequisites, with some possibly being quite a challenge that departs from how you regularly play. However, one of the best ways to actually beat Hades is to have every weapon in your arsenal with all of its aspects. The more options you have during a run, the more strategies you can implement to try and complete Zagreus' goal.

Every Hidden Aspect Requirement

Know The Conditions For Unlocking Aspects

There are 24 total weapon aspects that you can only unlock once you have access to every weapon in the game. Every weapon can be obtained by using Chthonic Keys and Titan Blood in Hades, but there are some steps you have to complete before you can start making aspects appear. While most aspects can be unlocked with Titan Blood, each weapon has a fourth aspect that can only be used once certain conditions are met.

The following must be completed to unlock a weapon's hidden fourth aspect in Hades:

Steps Requirement Step #1 Obtain the Fated List of Minor Prophecies from the House Contractor. Step #2 Reach the final boss, Hades himself. Step #3 Unlock all other aspects on the weapon using Titan Blood. Step #4 Spend at least 5 Titan Blood upgrading the weapon. Step #5 Speak with the specific character who knows the weapon’s waking phrase.

If the appropriate NPC does not give Zagreus the weapon's waking phrase, don't panic. Sometimes it takes multiple conversations with them before the final secret to unlock a weapon's hidden aspect in Hades is shared. Simply stay patient and persistent to eventually reach the dialogue you need to get the waking phrase needed to unlock a weapon's fourth and final aspect.

Besides the Stygius Blade, most weapons are unlocked through Chthonic Keys and have their aspects unlocked through the spending of Titan Blood.
