Hades II is an unforgiving game, requiring fast reflexes to dodge or deflect incoming attacks from enemies. With little healing options between locations, there is little to no room for mistakes. You can however increase that margin by raising your Max Health, so you can tank a few more hits and gain the edge in battle. Here’s how you can do it!
Increase Max Health Permanently
Unlock Arcana: The Titan
You can unlock the Alter of Ashes at the cauldron which lets you unlock several arcana cards that buff your runs when you activate them by consuming grasp.
Once you have unlocked the arcana before it, you can spend 7 Ashes to acquire The Titan arcana. This permanently increases your Max Health and Magick by 20 for 2 Grasp. Its effect can be further increased by upgrading. You can do this after you have performed the Consecration of Ashes Incantation.
Increase Max Health During Runs
Unlock Arcana: The Centaur
With 25 Ashes and 1 Cinder, you can unlock The Centaur arcana. With this, you can increase your Max Health and Magick by 3 for every 5 locations you go through for 4 Grasp. Once again, this effect can be increased by upgrading it. For the Awakening effect to take place, you must have cards of grasp 1 through 5 activated.
Acquire Centaur Hearts
You gain Centaur Hearts from clearing Encounters in Erebus and beyond or you can buy them from Charon. Your health bar increases by 25 HP whenever you consume a Centaur Heart. Your health bar will return to its base amount after you die, but this effect will stay active and stack until then.
Use Armor
While using armor leaves your Max Health unaffected, it acts as an extra health bar before your Max Health begins to deplete as you take damage. You can acquire armor by selecting a dress from Arachne or by purchasing it from Charon.
