How to Unlock Aspects in Hades 2

While you'll start with just the basic versions of each weapon in Hades 2, an incantation can eventually be unlocked that allows you to acquire powerful Weapon Aspects — alternate versions that modify the weapons to better suit your preferred playstyle.

Once unlocked, this incantation can be cast at the cauldron using 5 Bronze and 1 Nightshade, granting access to the Aspect selection at the Training Grounds weapon circle. Each weapon begins with Melinoe's default Aspect, but multiple additional Aspects can be unlocked for every armament by obtaining the required resources outlined in our comprehensive guide.
