How to get all weapons in Hades 2

Witch's Staff

The first weapon you will have is the Witch's Staff, which is the default weapon. Since you'll start the game with this one, you won't have to do anything special to get your hands on it. It allows you to do all the basic attacks as well as charged attacks.

Sister Blades

The Sister Blades are probably the first weapon you will unlock since you only need one Silver to unlock it. To get this weapon, you will need to be in the hub and have one Silver in hand. You'll need to have unlocked the Mining Pick in the tools menu, which is also in the hub. Once you have the Pick in hand, you can mine silver easily in the earliest areas of your run. These blades allow you to slash with furious attacks with a lot of speed in melee, or Special attacks from range.

Umbral Flames

Umbral Flames are the next weapon to unlock. You will need three silver and three Cinder to unlock this weapon. Silver will be mined with the Pick, but you need to pick up Cinder by defeating Hecate. You will only get one per battle with her, so you'll need to take her down three times to complete this weapon set. This staff will allow you to fire projectiles and have some attacks that circle your body to damage enemies in melee range.

Moonstone Axe

The Moonstone Axe is a slower, heavier weapon that will deal much more damage per hit, and allows you to defend with your Specials. To unlock this powerful weapon, you'll need 15 Silver, which again can be mined in the starting areas with the Pick.

Argent Skull

Last, but certainly not least, is the Argent Skull. This pricey weapon costs two Glassrock and one Bronze, but in return, you will get some explosive attacks that will decimate enemies. You'll need to unlock this weapon by unlocking all the other weapons. Glassrock can be found in the third area, and Bronze will be found on the Surface.
