Aphrodite
Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, is a returning character that those who played the first Hades game will surely recognize. In this Hades 2 guide, you will learn everything there is to know about Aphrodite at this point. More information will be revealed when the game is released.
Aphrodite Description
Aphrodite fully embodies her title as the Goddess of Love in Hades 2. She still appears wearing nothing but her conveniently placed long locks of pink hair, but this time, she also holds a large spear, making her seem far more formidable than she already did.
Aphrodite is one of the Gods who will appear in the Underworld to lend her power to Melinoë to aid her on your quest. These abilities are shared in the form of Boons. Most of Aphrodite's Boons are designed to make your opponent weaker or inflict area damage, and her icon is a pink heart.
Aphrodite is not present in the Crossroads, and encountering her in the Underworld is dependent on luck. There is no way to tell what Gods will be present to help you on each run until you get there.
Boons of Aphrodite
Aphrodite has the following Boons to help Melinoë on her quest to vanquish Chronos and end the war against Olympus:
