Her Lunge and Whip Arc attacks release volleys of projectiles, her Lightning Chase receives an increase to the rate of summons, and her Whip Shots become larger. She then rapidly increases her attack/movement speed and briefly unlocks all of her abilities, regardless of her current health. After the Rage meter is filled, Alecto becomes invulnerable for a very brief duration. NOTE: Alecto has a Rage meter that fills during the fight, either through receiving damage or from her Build Rage ability. Unlike her sister Megaera, Alecto has five main attacks, though most are similar to Maegara’s attacks, so the best way to defeat her is to counter each attack and strike during the small window of time after she finishes each attack. You’ll know it’s Alecto if the sister you’re fighting has a red dress and a green wing.

This section will describe how to defeat Alecto. Just make sure to not lose track of them, as they could get the better of you if you keep your attention on Megaera.Īs mentioned above, given enough runs, you may find yourself fighting one of Megaera’s sisters in her place. Repeat until the attack is finished.Īlong with these attacks, Megaera may summon some reinforcements (thugs and witches) which are simple to defeat. The easiest way to counter these is to hold the attack button (X on controller, Left Mouse Button on Keyboard/Mouse) and shield bash out of the way. FLAME: Megaera repeatedly summons a random pattern of circles around the player, which deal up to 8 damage per ring if the player is still standing in them when they activate. Once her volley is done, you will have a short window of time to deal damage. I would recommend shield bashing towards her (which blocks all shots) to get close to her.

(If you have any abilities with DEFLECT, attempt to use these to deflect shots back at her). Your shield will block any shots that would’ve otherwise hit you. The best counter would be to hold up your shield (Hold X on controller, or Left Mouse Button on Keyboard + Mouse) and look directly at her. VOLLEY: Megaera fires a volley of rapid shots towards the player which each deal up to 4 damage. The whip’s range will be indicated on the floor beneath her, so once she begins to whip, immediately dash or shield bash out of the radius and wait for the attack to stop, then deal some damage while she catches her breath. WHIP WHIRL: Megaera will try to get close to the player and slash her whip around herself, dealing up to 13 damage. The easiest way to counter is to wait for her dash to begin, then dash or shield bash away, then turn around and deal some damage.

LUNGE: Megaera pauses briefly and dashes towards the player, dealing up to 13 damage on impact. She has four main attacks, so the quickest and easiest way to defeat her would be to counter her attacks, and hack away during moments in between when she’s preparing her next attack. However, Megaera’s fighting style is quite simple. If you’ve tried enough runs, eventually it’ll be one of her sisters (Alecto and Tisiphone) that will take her place, which each have their own fight style. You may encounter a mini boss fight or two in the depths of Tartarus, but your first true boss fight will be with Megaera, the First of the Furies. – Keepsake: Skelly’s Lucky Tooth MEGAERA – FIRST OF THE FURIES

The Shield of Chaos is incredibly powerful, especially as you upgrade it with the Daedalus Hammer. I would recommend starting the run with Skelly’s Lucky Tooth as your keepsake, and the Shield of Chaos as your weapon. SET UPĭue to the nature of the roguelike/roguelite genres, it is near impossible to start each boss fight with the same set up and upgrades, but the roguelite genre does give players the opportunity to start each run with cool permanent upgrades, such as keepsakes. I’m gonna post the other few bosses soon.

These guides will show you how to defeat those bosses (or more specifically, how I defeated those bosses, as there are many ways to play the game,) starting with the first boss – Megaera, First of the Furies (or any of her Fury sisters.)Ĭheck out my other guides. Hades features many boss fights required to move on to the next area.
