Hit Roguelike Received New Changes and Improvements. Bosses in Hades 2 Are Now More Vulnerable to Attacks From Behind

The second Hades was released in early access at the beginning of May this year. Since then, the Supergiant Games studio has been consistently releasing updates and continuously taking into account fans' feedback on various aspects of the game. Yesterday, as part of the development of Hades 2, the developers released the fourth patch.

The update not only fixes many bugs but primarily focuses on specific changes to the gameplay. Many boons now have slightly different effects, similar to the upgrades of Daedalus Hammer. Furthermore, the bosses available in the early access have received several adjustments, making it easier for players to attack them from the rear. Below we have listed some of the most interesting changes.

1. Sister blades now deal more damage to enemies from behind.
2. One of Hera's boons was removed in favor of the "Rousing Reception" (dealing damage to opponents at the start of the encounter).
3. Aiming while using a controller and using Zeus's Lighting Lance ability is improved. Another boon from this god, namely Spirit Surge, was also reworked.
4. Incorrect character interactions and the effects of certain abilities on each other have been corrected, along with minor text and sound errors.
5. Changes have been made to the so-called endgame.

Although this patch didn't introduce any new content, it prepared the game for the first major update by making changes and eliminating specific issues. The devs announce that it will be released "later this year." You can report any errors you have encountered while playing Hades 2, as it is helpful for the developers while waiting for this big patch - which may bring in new locations, storylines, and enemies.
