Hades 2 has the unenviable task of trying to improve upon its predecessor. One of the many ways it does this is by adding Incantations, which help our new main character in her travels, and they can upgrade existing elements in Hades 2 and add new ones.

But unlocking Incantations is a slow burner because the Crossroad Concoction Pot doesn’t make them all available right from the get-go.

Incantations need a whole heap of ingredients to create them in Hades 2. These range from Myrtle, Pearl, Lotus, Cinder, Fate Fabric, and more. The later you get into the game, the more obscure the resources needed become.

If you want a sneak peek of all the Incantations you have to look forward to and maybe plan ahead, here’s every Incantation we’ve encountered so far in Hades 2.
