All Hades 2 Gods, side characters & their lore explained

If you’re eager to know who all the different Gods are in Hades 2, I’ve got a full list here. There are some returning Gods from the original game, as well as some new ones that have been added for the sequel.

Gods offer you Boons to help you in your quest to kill Chronos, and they each have their own traits and lore tidbits to discover. Then there are the side characters, who aren’t so godly but are still an important part of Hades 2. With that said, here’s a list of characters for you to peruse.

NOTE:

This list may be incomplete as the game is in early access and we have not yet discovered all that the game has to offer.
