Hades 2’s next major update has dropped, and it’s bringing back the God of War.
With the Summit opened, new enemies and challenges await.
The Summit
The newest region on the surface route isthe Summit, opening up after you defeatPrometheus.
Here, all the gold and white glory ofOlympusis gone.
The Summit is alldark colors, writhing tendrils, and breathing stone.
What Are Typhons Attacks?
Youll fight Typhon at the very top of the Summit, on a surprisingly small battlefield.
Heavier Attacks
Typhons two most dangerous attacks area slamanda red whip.
Before this attack, Typhon raises his head a bit, andhis face and horns start sparking red.
Theres not a long warning period, though, so react fast.
The other kicker isTyphons tongue, which is along red whip-like attackthat covers almost the entire field.
Typhon telegraphs it by pulling back and to one side.
Lesser Attacks
For the less dangerous attacks,Typhon will fire projectiles and whirlwindsat Melinoe.
Moving to thefurthest cornersmight keep the majority away from you.
Luckily, they dont hit as hard as some of Typhons other attacks.
The whirlwinds are familiar!
Theyre pretty much the same as the Harpies in the Rift of Thessaly and Olympus.
Theyll take up a lot of space, push you around, and do some damage.
Typhon gives abig roarfor this one, and breathes the whirlwinds from his mouth.
What Are The Environmental Hazards?
We cant forget the storm ravaging the Summitperiodically,strong winds will buffet the battlefield.
Running normally against the wind is slowed, butdashing and sprintingcan make some headway.
It cant be damaged, showing up to do a hit-and-run or two before vanishing again.
If you remember seeing it throughout the Summit, it’ll be familiar here.
When he retreats, you will be unable to damage or affect Typhon.
Hespits red eggs onto the fieldtry to kill as many as you canbefore they hatch.
Youll have aboutten seconds.
Its also likely that there will be too much going on to really notice.
Dont fret: this is more of an annoyance than a threat, like the whirlwinds.
This willtemporarily knock Typhon out, leaving him andhis odd bulbous tongue vulnerable to attack.
Everything becomes faster here.
Typhons attacks remain the same, but he moves faster, giving you less time to react.
The monsters he spawns will be stronger.
And that slam attack of his has a bigger range.
Once defeated, Typhon drops aVoid Lens.
What’s The Best Fight Strategy?
Extra Life and methods to block, dodge, or reduce damage taken are always going to be useful.
With how small the battlefield is, hiding and dodging everything is nearly impossible.
At a certain point, it might be about decidingwhat you would rather get hit by.
And indeed: that’s what you gotta do.
The battlefield will get crowded and chaotic, full of distractions–very death by a thousand cuts.
He’ll make it at least a little bit easier for you:he won’t run away.
Hypnos is back in Hades 2, and he seems to be in an eternal slumber.
What can we do to wake him up?
