Hades 2 - Oceanus Resources, Enemies, and Guardian

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

Oceanus Overview

Oceanus Environment

Hades 2 - Oceanus Cinematic View

Under the domain of her uncle Poseidon, Melinoe must make her way through the briny depths of Oceanus to get to the domain of her father, Hades.

Oceanus is filled to the brim with pipe systems and pressurized water storages and outlets that Melinoe can use against enemies for Terrain Kills. However, be careful as these traps can damage and kill Melinoe as well, so exercise caution!

Available Resources

Warden of Oceanus, Deep Serpent

Hades 2 - Deep Serpent Deep Serpent

Deep Serpents are one of the two minibosses that Melinoe can encounter in Oceanus. Defeat the four Sop-Spindles that spawn with it and break its armor as soon as you can to avoid getting overwhelmed with projectiles and area of effect attacks!

Warden of Oceanus, King Vermin

Hades 2 - King Vermin King Vermin

Reminiscent of the Tiny Vermin miniboss for Styx in Hades 1, King Vermin, also encountered as Uh-Oh, is the second miniboss Melinoe can encounter in Oceanus. King Vermin's room is filled with many traps and area of effect attacks from Wretched Pests, so keep an eye on King Vermin to avoid getting surprised by its attacks!

These are all the enemies you may encounter in Oceanus. They have a tendency to either swarm you or deny space with projectiles or area of effect attacks.

We recommend to keep moving and make good use of your Cast to snare groups of enemies that charge at you!
