Hades Boons Guide – All Effects, How to Get

The word boon literally means a thing that is helpful or beneficial to a traveler during his journey. So, you probably already get the idea – they’re basically perks that increase your attack, defense, speed, etc. depending on the boon you choose. Boons increase and improve your arsenal of weapons to maximize game progress. In this guide, we’ve provided an overview of all the boons in Hades.

Hades Boons

The start of every run, the sigil of a random Olympian god will pop-up in front of you and upon interacting with the symbol, you engage in a conversation with that god.

The god then offers you three different boons out of which you can choose one to help you out on the run. These sigils of Olympian gods can also spawn during a run in the Chambers of Hell.

Also, one thing you can do to increase the chances of gods spawning during runs is to gift them Nectar.

Not only will this improve the probability of a god spawning in a boon room but they’ll also reward you with different Keepsakes or Companions.

Type of Boons

The different gods available and the type boons they offer is given in the table below:
