Fear system GUIDE! | Hades 2 tips and tricks

[@jjstarrprod]

Good list. I tried a TON of configurations for 32 fears before finally finding one that I could finally conquer (after 2 weeks of painful and rageful trials), and I would say there is a case to say about the potential synergy between vow of Fury (enemies speed +40%) and the Max. 5mins time limit : Since enemies are that much faster, they're also coming to you faster rather than you having to go to them (except these pesky hippos, that are are a true pain when they run off in the distance in Oceanus). Of course, it's much scarier to try and dodge their attacks, but if you start your fear progression with these 2 first, get used to it and getting good at dodging enemies attack patterns, and then work you way up with the more damage/HP/shields, then it's not so much of a problem anymore, since you already good at dodging at that speed. Essentially, this way of playing kinda forces you to think like a speedrunner, so that the fastest you dispatch your enemies, the least time they have to unleash all their arsenal and damage you in turn.

i wish vow of abandon has 3 tiers, which limits the number of Arcana to 8/4/0 (and ban Judgement, so it will not activate more after each boss). BTW I really wish that they can bring back something like "dark foresight" in hades 1, which raises the chance for boon/hammer/pom/coin by 20%.

That would be cool

Yeah, if you do the 5:00 minute deadline, you really need to avoid Commotion, Dominance, and Haunting. I’ve lost quite a few runs because I wasn’t able to pick up the revenants quickly enough😭

Yep it's bad news!

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

I didn’t know about the fear system.

[@JawlessPaul]

I think you need to beat the game once maybe...

I avoided Vow of Haunting for sooo long because I thought it would be like Elysium where you have to fight the little eyes and once I finally realized it wasn’t like that I have it on for hitting any fear requirements lol. Also appreciate that you mentioned what you might do if you don’t want deadline! I’ve already got my statues but I’ve just never been able to do the time limit, personally. I’m usually a slow cautious player and turning on the deadline makes me rush and make mistakes so I stopped taking it.
