The City of Ephyra is the first region of the Surface in Hades 2. See an overview of the City of Ephyra, the available resources, allied NPC's, and enemies and Bosses you can fight in the City of Ephyra in this guide!
List of Contents
Rushing to the aid of her Olympian relatives, Melinoe starts her journey in the City of Ephyra, a Surface city filled with the dead. Like the Fields of Mourning, the City of Ephyra also has a different map layout, with all locations radiating from the central plaza.
To progress, Melinoe must free the trapped shades in each location. When freed, these shades will damage enemies in an encounter, much like the Necromantic Influence incantation.
Bronze (Crescent Pick) |
Moss (Picked Up) |
Garlic Cloves (Silver Spade) |
Roach (Rod of Fishing) |
These are all the resources unique to City of Ephyra. Make sure not to miss collecting them with Gathering Tools if you need them for incantations and other recipes!
Each Tool Required for Each Resource
To reach and fully explore Ephyra, you need to complete the following incantations:
Incantation | Effects | Cost |
---|---|---|
Permeation of Witching-Wards | Gain the ability to traverse Warded gateways, such as the one leading to the surface... |
・Cinder x1
・Moly x1
・Shadow x1
|
Warded for her protection, Melinoe must first unlock the Surface path of the game. Hecate will warn Melinoe about the curse her lineage has with the Surface, but this can be solved by the next incantation.
Incantation | Effects | Cost |
---|---|---|
Unraveling of a Fateful Bond | Forestall the effects of your bloodline's ancient Life-draining curse that bars you from the surface. |
・N.Shade x2
・Lotus x2
・Moss x2
・Thalamus x2
|
Melinoe's chthonic curse will hinder the duration of her stay on the Surface. Collect Moss on the Surface, and receive Origin Seeds from Chaos to start your progress to complete Unraveling of a Fateful Bond.
Incantation | Effects | Cost |
---|---|---|
Summoning a Colony of Bats | Make use of All-Seeing Bats in their cages around the City of Ephyra, to better orient yourself there. |
・Moss x3
・Rubbish x3
|
To spend less time walking through Ephyra's wide map, we recommend unlocking the Summoning a Colony of Bats incantation. These bats give you an overview of the map, along with the possible Room Rewards for each location.
Medea |
Medea is the Allied NPC that Melinoe can encounter while running through City of Ephyra. She offers boons that enfeeble foes, or have them drop beneficial items upon death.
Bosses of City of Ephyra | ||
---|---|---|
Guardian | Polyphemus | |
Warden | Satyr Champion |
Blocking the path to the Rift of Thessaly, Melinoe must fight and slip past Polyphemus to avoid getting eaten. Have Melinoe exploit his giant size and find openings amongst the shockwaves of the Cyclopean Shepherd's attacks.
How to Beat Polyphemus the Cyclops
Satyr Champion |
The Satyr Champion is the miniboss you may encounter in the City of Ephyra. Armed with a shield and crossbow, the Satyr Champion can be a challenging miniboss to fight early on.
We recommend defeating the other enemies it spawns with first, and saving the burst of damage from the destroyed Pylon for the Satyr Champion.
Enemies | Bronzebeak | Shambler | Cutthroat | Lubber |
---|---|---|---|
Tombstone | Eidolon |
The enemies in the City of Ephyra follow the same theme from the enemies in the Underworld. Keep using your Cast to keep swarming enemies at bay, and stay on your feet against ranged and flanking enemies.
