If Hades 2 is too difficult for you, try these settings


"Hades 2" has officially become available in early access on Steam, allowing players to experience the follow-up to 2020's popular favorite "Hades" . There are already a lot of decisions to be made when you start the game, like which weapons are best and which upgrades to make early on, but that's just scratching the surface. Diving into a game's accessibility settings can really tweak the way you play and provide a little extra help when you need it. Here are three important places to start.

God Mode can always be relied on

Like other roguelike games, Hades 2 can be a difficult game. After all, the genre is built on starting over from the beginning every time you die. But if you find yourself struggling too much, you can actually turn on God Mode (invincibility) to give yourself an advantage.

To turn on God Mode, navigate to Options > Game and turn on God Mode . This will allow you to play through each level and experience Supergiant's excellent storytelling without getting frustrated.

Auto-shooting will save your fingers

The controls in Hades 2 may take some getting used to. But a very natural key binding is to click the left mouse button to attack (X on an Xbox controller, square on a PlayStation controller). While this is pretty standard, mouse buttons can really only withstand a certain number of clicks. So if you want to extend the life of your mouse a little, or you're just tired of clicking too many times, try turning on Auto-Trigger.

To turn on auto-fire, navigate to Options > Accessibility > Auto-fire and turn it on. The game will now automatically continue to fire while you hold down the fire button. You can still click buttons yourself for faster attacks.

Turn off screen vibration to reduce jitter

There's an argument to be made that screen shaking can make or break the effectiveness of certain attacks in Hades 2 . But for some players, screen shaking just isn't right for their stomachs. So if you find yourself feeling nauseous while playing a game, try turning it off. To eliminate screen shake, simply navigate to Options > Accessibility > Screen Shake .
