How to Unlock all Weapons and Tools in Hades 2.

As a seasoned explorer of the Underworld, I must say that the Gathering Tools in Hades 2 are quite the intriguing addition to the game! With my years of experience, I can tell you that these tools will prove to be incredibly useful in your journey through the depths.


Similar to its predecessor, much of what makes Hades 2 exceptional lies within the outstanding design of the items wielded by the main character. Where Zagreus utilized the Infernal Arms, Melinoë now possesses the Nocturnal Arms. Unlike Zagreus, Melinoë boasts a unique set of items that he didn’t have: the Gathering Tools. Collectively, these items form an impressive arsenal for Melinoë in Hades 2.

In “Hades 2”, the Nocturnal Arms consist of five special weapons, each with a distinct character. These are not ordinary tools; they are designed to collect rare materials and resources. As you progress through the game, you’ll have the opportunity to unlock these items one by one. This guide will help you understand when and under what conditions you can acquire them all.

Currently, “Hades 2” is being offered in an Early Access stage. This means that the weaponry and tools within the game might undergo adjustments before the full 1.0 version is launched. Any alterations made will prompt an update to this guide to ensure it accurately represents the new selection of weapons and tools in the game.

Five distinctive weapons, known as the Nocturnal Arms in Hades 2, form part of the game’s arsenal. Initially, players won’t have access to all these arms; however, they can gradually unlock them by progressing through the story and successful runs. To locate the Nocturnal Arms, navigate to the Silver Pool, which is found within the Training Grounds. When a new weapon or tool becomes available for unlocking, you will notice a unique spiked exclamation mark symbol floating overhead.

As a gamer, I found out that the best approach to unveil all the Nocturnal Arms at the Silver Pool is by completing the main storyline. Talking to every character, offering Nectar, exploring Chaos – do whatever you can to move the plot along. New weapons will only become available as the story progresses. Just remember that the Argent Skull won’t show up until a bit later in the main storyline. Once you’ve unlocked the first three weapons, keep advancing through the game, and it will eventually be revealed.

After every weapon in the Nocturnal Arms collection is unveiled, players will gradually disclose the hidden characteristics, which are distinct variations for each weapon, all featuring unique abilities. Once this occurs, the basic form of the Nocturnal Arms will be discovered to be the Aspect of Melinoë. Each Aspect can subsequently be upgraded, with each level-up enhancing the weapon’s attributes.

With the latest Olympic Update, gamers can now acquire the final weapon for Hades 2, named Xinth, also known as The Black Coat. You’ll find it listed in the Nocturnal Arms main menu within Crossroads. To craft this item, you’ll need to meet some straightforward requirements, but the valuable Adamant needed can only be discovered at the higher levels of Olympus. Remember to focus on collecting the Crescent Pick when embarking on your journey, as it increases the chances of encountering ore and metal deposits.

  • After downloading the Olympic Update, visit the center of the Nocturnal Arms area in the Crossroads.
  • Check the available weapons, and you’ll see the Black Coat is available to unlock.
  • Prioritize the Crescent Pick before starting a Surface run.
  • Collect Adamant from Olympus.
  • Unlock the Black Coat with two CInder, and two Adamant.
