The Hades 2 Eris boss fight is a real roadblock on the Surface path, with her Adamant Rail bullets and bombs making her a formidable foe.

Eris has some pretty brutal moves that are fast and hard to dodge, so it’s important that you come prepared with the rightHades 2 weaponsand some handy Boons. When it comes to weapons,the Sister Blades are a top-tier choice, allowing Melinoe to strike fast and hard, and remain agile. Getting behind Eris is an important strategy for avoiding her attacks, andLim and Oros' Omega Attack should be used frequentlyto help with this, letting you deal high Backstab damage and stay out of her view. I recommend sticking with thedefault Aspect of Melinoe, but you should upgrade it at least once to further help with Backstab damage.
As for Boons, you want things that will enhance your close-range power, burst damage, and speed. Since Eris is the second (and currently final) boss on the Surface path, blocking the way out of the Rift of Thessaly, you have lots of time to gather and upgrade any of the following excellent Boons:
As mentioned, Eris' speed makes her a difficult boss to face. She can dash across the arena very quickly and often flies around to drop massive bombs with the Adamant Rail and to reposition. Using the above Boons to enhance your Dash and Sprint are key to matching Eris' agility, letting you keep pace with her, avoid her attacks, and get behind her to deal damage. However, with an arena that becomes more hazardous thanks to oil spills and fire, your space to manoeuvre becomes limited. Here are some tips to help you best Eris in Hades 2:
Currently, there is nothing beyond the Eris boss fight in Hades 2, and Melinoe will be sent packing back to the Crossroads if you defeat Strife, Incarnate. This is because of theHades 2 early accessbuild not having the next area of the game, but according to theHades 2 roadmap, a new region is in the works, which will almost certainly be Olympus.
