Hades 2 - How to Level Up Boons
Boons in Hades 2 can be Leveled Up with a Pom of Power or a Pom Slice. Learn about the different types of Pomegranates and how to get Pomegranates in this guide!

Why Should You Level Up Boons?

Leveling Up Enhances Your Boon's Abilities

While running through Erebus and beyond, you will be faced with increasingly difficult enemies that try to get in your way. Having enhanced Boons will increase your chances in defeating them swiftly in combat, allowing you to clear areas with ease.

Always Enhance Boons at Least to Level 2

Hades 2 - Always Enhance Boons at Least to Level 2
When deciding on which Boons to enhance, it is wise to note that enhancing Level 1 Boons to Level 2 is akin to increasing the Boon's rarity by one.

Lv. 2 Boon is as strong as Lv. 1 Boon One Rarity Higher
Lv.2 Common = Lv. 1 Rare
Lv. 2 Rare = Lv. 1 Epic
Lv. 2 Epic = Lv. 1 Heroic

For example, a Level 2 Common Boon will always grant you the same ability as a Level 1 Rare Boon. The same logic applies across all Boon rarities and only occurs at the Level 2 mark. With this in mind, it's best to always keep the Boons you own at Level 2 in the least when you get the chance.
