Hades Hades Boss Guide
Hades Fight Strategy
Because Hades has two stages, unlike the previous bosses, you will have to empty his full health bar twice rather than seeing an increase or diversity of attacks while he's at 50% HP. He'll be using his axe all the time, and you can know when he's going to swing by the visual cue. If you're close, be ready for at least two attacks and be ready to dash across or away from him. Occasionally, he may also sprint in Zagreus' direction, doing a great number of damage and coming close enough to launch additional attacks. He is a quick and unrelenting foe, and that trait serves him well over the whole fight.
He will become unaffected by damage and call upon opponents in the arena to assist him at least twice in the first phase. This is quite frustrating because these normally have armor, and while you're at it, Hades will keep attacking. He's probably going to throw more skulls as well. These may appear innocuous, but the shockwave they produce is powerful, and swift, and can seriously damage your health. You shouldn't bother getting near skulls if you know you won't be able to destroy them in time because they will probably explode and hit you almost immediately. Instead, hold your position and get ready to dodge.
You need to be extra cautious around the jars he will call forth in the last stage. Zagreus will be stunned and frozen in place once these are broken. It's important to keep in mind that their explosions affect a larger area than simply the area where the object is located. You can take advantage of the fact that Hades' spear has the ability to shatter them. Last but not least, although the two circles-shaped objects have a purpose, the laser beams are extremely frightening. You can be sure that Hades is going to attack when you see him spinning his spear on his hands while they are still in position. To avoid getting hit, simply hide behind one of them.

Dialogue
Introduction:
- This cold white substance falling slowly from the heavens. Snow, they call it. Look carefully upon each fleck. Tiny crystals! But structurally weak. They melt! This surface realm... it is held up by mine.
During Fight:
- What shall it take for you to stop this foolishness?
After Fight:
- I... how... you.... Go. Go, then. Go!! Get out of here! Get out!
