Beating the Hades 2 Prometheus boss fight is the final hurdle on the Surface Path, and it’s an absolutely brutal one at that. The Titan of Foresight is fast and has some incredibly wide-reaching fire attacks that can be tricky to dodge or can block off large sections of the Olympus arena. He’s also got an eagle companion who swoops around delivering devastating peck attacks too. But, if you come to thisHades 2fight with a good selection of defensive Boons and know how his attacks work, you should be able to beat this Titan. Here are some tips to help you beat Prometheus in Hades 2.

Prometheus’ speed and ranged attacks mean battling him is quite similar to the earlierHades 2 Eris boss fight, except he’s a lot more aggressive, so you’ll want to come equipped with suitableHades 2 weaponsand Boons. Burst damage is key so that meansthe Sister Blades are a good choiceagainst Prometheus, and the added backstab damage they provide is a big help when dodging around. With that said, theBlack Coatcan also be helpful if you’ve upgraded the Aspect of Melinoe as it’ll boost her sprint and attack speed and has a handy shielding effect that will block some of Prometheus’ projectiles. For maximum projectile protection, bring Frinos along as yourHades 2 familiartoo!
As for Boons, boosting your damage and speed or defences with the right effects will help a lot, so I recommend opting for these Boons if the opportunity arises on your journey through the Surface:
