Trained by Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft, Melinoë wields powerful Magick in her battle against Time. Curious about the Hades 2 Incantations and the rewards they offer? Let’s delve into the details!
There are many Incantations available in Hades 2, unlocked exclusively at the Crossroads Cauldron. Most of these spells require certain prerequisites to access. To expand your magical arsenal, you might need to defeat specific foes, progress through various regions, or strengthen your bonds with allies. Some Incantations even seem to materialize from a greater mystical force. Regardless of their origins, these spells play a crucial role in Melinoë’s quest to conquer Chronos and rescue her family.
All Hades 2 Incantations and Rewards
Below, you’ll discover a list of all Incantations in Hades 2 along with their activation rewards. Each Incantation requires specific materials; after all, a good spell needs the right ingredients. Keep in mind that most Incantations will only be unlocked as you progress in the game, so stay diligent in your adventures.
The early-game Incantations demand materials that are easy to find. By utilizing Gathering Tools, you can unlock a substantial portion of the Incantation list within the first in-game week. However, as you advance, expect higher costs for Incantations and more risks in sourcing required materials.
A large yellow exclamation mark will appear over the Crossroads Cauldron once you have enough materials to unlock an Incantation.
Rare resources obtained through Alchemy are also included below the Incantation list.
