The first post-launch Hades 2 update is here, fixing a number of issues in the roguelike and tweaking more than a few other aspects. Among all the adjustments is a tidy little change for one of the minibosses that should make the battle just a bit more bearable (only a smidge, mind).
The highly anticipated sequel from Supergiant Games bashed its way out of Early Access just last week, and with the proper release comes a smattering of rebalances as more people take the war to Chronos. Many of the hotfixes listed involve small, but no less annoying, glitches.
Lots of stuff like that – spoiler protection is on in the patch notes, if you've not encountered everything yet. But the most exciting change comes for the battle against any Phantoms you across, the vampiric hellspawn in the Fields of Mourning.
Their physical moves all drain health, and prior to now, they could do so from your raised serpents, essentially allowing them to use your allies against you in the form of HP resourcing. Irritating!
But not any more. They're still a tricky fight – none of their other attacks have been modified – but this will take the edge off. I'd expect more of these sort of changes in the weeks ahead, as Supergiant finesses Hades 2 further amid the growing playerbase.
