Hades 2 - Rift of Thessaly Cinematic View

On the way to Base of Mount Olympus, Melinoe needs to board the reanimated ships from the Rift of Thessaly. Filled with the drowned dead, the ships may feel a bit crowded as enemies pour in.

Melinoe can leverage the spilled tar with nearby explosive barrels to great effect against enemies, but must be careful not to walk on them herself.

Available Resources

Hades 2 DriftwoodDriftwood

Hades 2 Iron Iron
(Crescent Pick)
Hades 2 Squid Squid

Hades 2 Mandrake Seeds Mandrake Seeds

Hades 2 - Eris Dialog

As a wayward daughter of Nyx, Melinoe must get past Eris to inch closer to Mount Olympus. Armed with Exagryph the Adamant Rail, evade the hail of bullets from Eris, and avoid the burning tar on the shoreline!

How to Beat Eris

Warden of Rift of Thessaly, Charybdis

Charybdis Charybdis

Charybdis is the miniboss you may encounter in the Rift of Thessaly. Lunging its numerous tentacles on the ship, whittle Charybdis down by defeating its tentacles one by one.

Given the tight layout of the stage, using your Cast to avoid being overwhelmed is more important than ever. The Anchor and the Harpy Talon are particularly dangerous, because of attacks with large aftershocks and tracking projectiles, respectively.

Like with the previous regions, stay alert, and keep using your Cast!
