Bosses appear as the Guardians of the regions they inhabit. Overcoming them is the difference between progressing through your run, or starting over. Check out a full list of the Bosses you'll face in Hades 2, where they can be found, and our guides on how to beat each boss!

List of All Bosses

There are a total of six bosses that can be faced as of the Early Access version of the game. Four of them can be found as you make your way down to the underworld, and up to two of them will attempt to impede your progress as you forge towards Olympus.

What are Bosses?

Guardians of Each of Region

The bosses in Hades 2 are often found in the final room of each region. The entrance to their rooms are typically marked with a red horned skull icon. In contrast, minibosses, also known as Wardens, have their rooms marked with a white skull icon and can be found randomly as you explore a region.

These rooms will focus on combat sequences engaged with the bosses instead of the usual swarm of enemies that other encounters have. Understanding their attack patterns and behavior is the key to taking them down.
