How To Get Hidden Aspects For All Infernal Arms In Hades
To unlock the hidden Aspects in Hades, there is a sequential process that needs to be followed. Initially, you must unlock all six Infernal Weapons in the game. When you begin playing, the Stygian Blade will be accessible, while the other three weapons will be locked and can be obtained by using Chthonic Keys. Once you have acquired these three weapons, two additional weapons will become available for unlocking.
The subsequent step involves unlocking the hidden Aspects associated with each weapon. Every weapon already has three Aspects that are initially revealed, but there is a fourth Aspect that remains hidden. To reveal this hidden Aspect, specific conditions must be met. It is crucial to unlock the fourth Aspect of the Eternal Spear first, as all the other weapons require this Aspect to be unlocked before their hidden Aspects can be revealed.
So let's take a look at how to unlock the Spears Hidden Aspect (Aspect of Guan Yu) and lead into all of the other Infernal Arm's unlock requirements:
Eternal Spear (Varatha) - Guan Yu Aspect
Stygian Blade (Stygius) - Arthur Aspect
Shield of Chaos (Aegis) - Beowulf Aspect
Heart-Seeking Bow (Coronacht) - Rama Aspect
Twin Fists of Malphon (Malphon) - Gilgamesh Aspect
Adamant Rail (Exagryph) - Lucifer Aspect
The process for unlocking the fourth Aspect of each Infernal Arm (weapon) follows a similar pattern. Firstly, the Aspect of Guan Yu must be unlocked on the Eternal Spear. Then, Titan Blood needs to be utilized for each weapon. Afterward, specific characters will express a desire to converse with Zagreus, leading to the revelation of a "waking phrase" that unveils the fourth Aspect.
Unlocking all the hidden Aspects of the Infernal weapons in Hades will require some commitment and isn't a quick process, however, these fourth/hidden Aspects offer substantial power, making the effort worthwhile. And as always, don't forget to explore our other Hades guides, which will assist you in your journey to escape the Underworld.
