Hades 2 God Mode guide: How to activate it and what it does

Unleash the power of the gods.

There are plenty of gods to go around in the Hades universe. So, it only seems fitting for there to be a God Mode, a feature shown in the original. Here’s how God Mode works in Hades 2, including how to activate it.

What does God Mode do in Hades 2?

Hades 2 God Mode is a tool designed to empower players who seek a more accessible experience. It fortifies Melinoë, adding a significant 20 percent Damage Resistance to her stats. This means that enemies will struggle to bring you down, putting you firmly in control of the game. 

With each run, your resilience in God Mode grows. Every time you face defeat, your Damage Resistance increases by two percent. For example, the first failed attempt boosts it to 22 percent Damage Resistance. You may achieve an 80 percent stat if you die enough times, similar to Hades

God Mode in Hades 2 can be seen as an ‘Easy’ difficulty setting, providing a balanced experience for players. It’s particularly beneficial for those who want to delve into the game’s immersive story. However, be aware that enemy numbers will remain the same, ensuring that combat still presents a fair challenge. 

How to turn on God Mode in Hades 2

To turn on God Mode in Hades 2, open Options in the menu and go to the Gameplay tab. You’ll find God Mode at the top, which you can turn on and off anytime.

If Hades 2 functions similarly to the original, God Mode shouldn’t impact achievements. But since achievements have yet to arrive in Early Access, we’ll have to see if that will change with the launch of the full version.
