Hades 2has a lot of bosses in store for Melinoe to vanquish.
The bosses in the underworld are harder than the ones you encounter on the surface.
Each boss requires an understanding of attack patterns and a certain strategy to beat it easily.
Here’s how to beat the Shadow-Spiller mini-boss of Erebus in Hades 2.
Charybdis is one of the bosses you will find on the surface.
Hades 2 is in Early Access.
As the game develops further, the content in it is subject to change.
We will update this article as required when the game comes out of the Early Access stage.
Each tentacle does an AoE smash attack that sends out a three-directional wave to damage Melinoe.
There is a safe zone behind each tentacle.
Each of the bigger projectiles further branch out into smaller ones and chase you down for some time.
Tentacles Popping
Charybdis sends back all five tentacles to assault Melinoe after the red orb attacks.
A small circle is visible on the ground indicating a tentacle will pop out at the spot.
Ranged Arrows
Each tentacle fires one ranged arrow at the point where Melinoe stands.
Charybdis Location
You willencounter the Charybdis boss in the Rift of Thessaly biomelocated at the surface.
Toget to the surface, you cannot just take a regular path.
For this, you have toconcoct the Permeation of Witching-Wards incantation thatbreaks the surface ward.
However, you must firstcollecta Cinder, Shadow, andthree Molycrafting materialsfor the incantation.
Dealing damage to each tentacle will deplete Charybdis’s health, and all tentacles start attacking you simultaneously.
These orbs chase Melinoe andfurther explode into mini-cluster bombs.
You must run from one corner of the boss fight to another to dodge them successfully.
Otherwise, the tentacles will hit and damage Melinoe.
The tentacles will nowbring another attack pattern into the mix: ranged arrows.
Each tentacle willfire a pink-colored arrow in a linear directionwhere Melinoe stands.
You must be swift in dodging or else you’re able to be caught by the arrows.
For this,stand in either corner, and you cansee the arrows from afar.
It makes dodging much easier.
WhenCharybdis is left with 20 to 30 percent health, thetentacles will also make a 360-degree whirlwind attack.
A brief animation of a tentacle gives away that it is about to do this attack.
Therefore, you muststay away from the tentacles when the boss’s health is very low.
The tentacles are not mobile and this makes them a very easy target for Total Eclipse.
