To use The Centaur Arcana Card in Hades 2, you need to have active Arcana Cards with one Grasp, two Grasp, three Grasp, four Grasp, and five Graspā€”doing so will automatically trigger The Centaur.

The beauty of The Centaur is it costs no Grasp to use. But it’s a pain in the you know what trying to understand its loose Awakening criteria. You need to have five different Arcana Cards active at once, each representing a different Grasp valueā€”as you can see in my visual example above.

The Centaur has automatically activated because I have five Arcana cards triggered with Grasp values hitting one through five. This means I get three extra health and Magick every time I clear five rooms in Hades 2.

I can already hear you asking, “But how do I get 15 Grasp in Hades 2 when you only start with 10?” It’s a a good question, and something else that took me longer than it should’ve done to figure out. But knowing how to increase Grasp in Hades 2 is straightforward, allowing you to access more Arcana Cards and boost your chances of survival.
