Hades 2-guide: Hur man låser upp nattens dolda aspekter

Hidden weapon aspects in Hades 2 are the most powerful forms of your Nocturnal Arms. Each requires a set of conditions, a Waking Phrase, and crafting materials to reveal. They dramatically change how weapons play, often feeling like entirely new tools. This guide covers how to unlock them, which gods help, and why they matter. If you just want the essentials: unlock all regular aspects, upgrade one to level five, meet the phrase-giver, then forge the hidden form.

All Hidden Aspects

Every weapon in Hades 2 comes with multiple Aspects, starting with the Aspect of Melinoë, which serves as the default form. These base versions provide small boosts or straightforward effects. Hidden Aspects, however, are the sixth and final forms currently in the game — there are six in total, one for each weapon. Unlike standard upgrades, they don’t just improve numbers; they overhaul entire movesets, introduce new mechanics, and can define whole playstyles.

Compared to the base Aspects, Hidden Aspects work more like alternate weapon forms and reward players who invest in mastery and experimentation.

How to Get Every Hidden Aspect in Hades 2: Phrases

To unlock hidden aspects, two tips are useful. First, always equip the weapon whose hidden aspect you’re hunting — it seems to speed up when the NPC shares its Waking-Phrase. Second, keep progressing runs (both wins and losses), since dialogue queues can block the phrase from appearing if you’ve got other storylines waiting.

• Moonstone Axe/ Aspect of Nergal/ Learned from Charon at his shop mid-run
• Black Coat/ Aspect of Shiva/ Learned from Selene during encounter
• Argent Skull/ Aspect of Hel/ Learned from Medea in the City of Ephyra
• Witch’s Staff/ Aspect of Anubis/ Learned from Circe on her island in the Rift of Thessaly
• Sister Blades/ Aspect of Morrigan/ Learned from Artemis during hunts (after several meetings)
• Umbral Flames/ Aspect of Supay/ Learned from Moros at the Crossroads (after multiple nights)

Hidden Aspects in Hades 2 not only require learning a Waking-Phrase but also forging with specific crafting materials. This makes exploration, conversations, and resource gathering just as important as combat for unlocking every weapon’s true form. Learning the Waking-Phrase is only the first step. You’ll also need specific resources to forge each Hidden Aspect once the phrase is known.

Hades 2 Begginer Guide

With Hades 2 officially released in September 2025, the game now offers its complete set of Nocturnal Arms, Aspects, and Olympian boons. Night Aspects — including the six Hidden Aspects — act as permanent upgrades that redefine weapon playstyles, while Olympian boons add layered synergy. According to the latest Hades 2 Aspects tier list, S-tier Aspects such as Medea, Circe, Anubis, and Nergal dominate thanks to raw versatility and scaling. A-tier choices like Morrigan and Shiva provide high power with the right gods, while B- and C-tier Aspects like Supay, Hel, and Pan are more situational. Unlocking them requires crafting, Incantations, and event triggers, with Hidden Aspects demanding specific resources and conditions. Here’s how to unlock every aspect guide.

Gods determine how effective these Aspects feel in practice. Zeus and Hera stay at the top because their powers fit almost any weapon, while Artemis pairs perfectly with Morrigan’s blood triad system and Poseidon enhances Supay’s rush-focused playstyle. Nergal’s berserk swings grow devastating with Zeus or Hestia, and Shiva’s single-hit focus benefits from Apollo’s precision buffs. Even lower-tier gods like Ares can shine if matched carefully. Using the current Hades 2 Gods Tier-List to combine the six Hidden Aspects with the right Olympians is essential for tackling high-Fear runs and mastering the endgame.
