Hades 2 - Erebus Resources, Enemies, and Guardian

Erebus is the first region of the Underworld in Hades 2. See an overview of Erebus, the available resources, allied NPC's, and enemies and Bosses you can fight in Erebus in this guide!

Erebus Overview

Erebus Environment

Hades 2 - Erebus Cinematic Overview
In the moonlit forests of Erebus lie the Crossroads, the childhood home of Melinoe after the attack on the House of Hades. Thus begins the journey of Melinoe in Erebus, to reach Tartarus.

Filled with withering trees, Melinoe can leverage them to eliminate her enemies quickly through Terrain Kills.

Available Resources

Hades 2 SilverSilver
(Crescent Pick)
Hades 2 MolyMoly
(Picked Up)
Hades 2 Nightshade SeedsNightshade Seeds
(Silver Spade)
Hades 2 DeathcapDeathcap
(Picked Up)

These are all the resources unique to Erebus. However, Moly and Deathcaps appear based on the weather in Erebus.

Except for Moly and Deathcap which can be gathered by hand, collect Silver and Nightshade Seeds with the help of their associated Gathering Tools!

Each Tool Required for Each Resource

Erebus Allies

Guardian of Erebus, Hecate

Hades 2 - Hecate Backstory

As the mentor of Melinoe, Hecate will test Melinoe in combat to see if she is truly prepared to hunt her mark, Chronos. Thus, Melinoe must defeat Hecate before she can leave the forests of Erebus.

How to Beat Hecate

Warden of Erebus, Root-Stalker

Hades 2 - Root-Stalker Root-Stalker

Root-Stalkers are one of the two minibosses that Melinoe can encounter in Erebus. Keep your distance to avoid its notorious attacks that hail projectiles and cause stuns.

Warden of Erebus, Shadow-Spiller

Hades 2 - Shadow-Spiller Shadow-Spiller

As the second possible miniboss in Erebus, Shadow-Spillers hide in the center of the location, with two Thorn-Weepers outside the shadow circle the Shadow-Spiller creates. We recommend taking out the Thorn-Weepers first to remove the slow, tracking projectiles in the fight before defeating the Shadow-Spiller.

Erebus Enemies

These are all the enemies you may encounter in Erebus. Together, they have a good balance in melee and ranged offensive capability, so adjust accordingly and use withered trees for Terrain Kills to your advantage!
