Hades 2: How To Defeat Prometheus (Boss Guide)

Prometheus, the Titan of Foresight, is a boss that must be defeated if you wish to eventually save Mount Olympus in Hades 2.

The Titan of Foresight, Prometheus, is the penultimate boss you must defeat while on the surface in Hades 2. This boss can prove to be extremely troublesome for many players, so this guide will help you learn his moveset and how to counter him better.

There are many ways to defeat Prometheus that even the Titan of Foresight can be unaware of.

Where To Find Prometheus in Hades 2?

Prometheus is the boss you encounter just before reaching the peak of Mount Olympus. Before you fight him, you must defeat Eris and Polyphemus on your surface run.

The Titan of Foresight will be blocking your way with his eagle, Aetos. Together, they make a formidable pair to defeat Melinoe.

Prometheus’ Moveset in Hades 2

The Titan boasts one of the most dangerous movesets in the entire game. The Titan of Foresight is a frighteningly effective combatant and makes use of everything at his disposal. This includes the Flames of Olympus, his visions of the future, legions of satyrs, and even the eagle who once tortured him.

To put yourself on even ground with Prometheus, you will need knowledge of his attacks beforehand. Here are all of the attacks Prometheus will use in Hades 2.

• Flaming Cyclone: Prometheus charges up before launching an uppercut. This attack creates a vortex of fire in front of him that can pull you in.
• Focus Fire: Prometheus creates a red ring around you that follows you. The ring is slowly filled from the centre, and once it is full, the ring will stop following you. It will then explode in a fiery burst. This attack lingers in the arena.
• Hot Feet: Prometheus leaps up and releases a slicing kick. This sends out a blade of fire that slices across the arena.
• Ring of Fire: Prometheus smashes the ground before him, creating a thin ring of fire that surrounds him.
• Chasing Embers: Prometheus launches a barrage of punches that release fireballs, which home in on you.
• Erupting Flames: Prometheus aims at you with a red zone that follows your movements. After a while, waves of fire erupt from the zone. These fires linger in the arena.
• Infernal Game: Prometheus uses this attack at 66% and 33% of his health. He will exit the arena and mark zones in a pattern. He then incinerates the zones according to the pattern shown. There will be three steps in the first pattern and five steps in the second.
• Dodge: Prometheus can occasionally use his foresight to dodge powerful attacks.
• Legions of Time: Prometheus summons powerful Satyr warriors to the edge of the arena as reinforcements.

Aetos

Aetos, the eagle, will occasionally enter the boss arena to harass you in conjunction with his master. Prometheus begins the battle with Aetos on the field, who then leaves after some time.

Aetos has two attacks: one where he dashes towards you, and one where he fires projectiles in a circle around him.

How To Defeat Prometheus in Hades 2

Prometheus uses melee attacks in conjunction with ranged attacks. This contrasts with Polyphemus and Eris before him, who are mostly reliant on one type of damage. Moreover, Aetos adds to the challenge by forcing you to split your focus.

Using Athena and Hermes to deflect or slow down his projectiles is a great counter to this Titan. At the same time, if you get close for melee attacks, do not get careless. Prometheus deals a lot of damage, so never let your guard down, or you may face defeat.

Best Boons To Defeat Prometheus

These are the best Boons that can make it easier to defeat Prometheus:

God/Goddess	Boon/Hex	Effect
Athena	Divine Dash	Your Dash deals damage to foes in your path and can momentarily Deflect
Athena	Defensive Posture	After you take damage, you become Impervious for two seconds.
Hermes	Hard Target	Most foes’ ranged shots are slower.
Selene	Phase Shift	Your Hex makes everything else move 50% slower for four seconds.
Hestia	Hot Pot	Gain a chance to Dodge, which is doubled against Scorch-afflicted foes.

Many of Prometheus’ attacks are projectiles, including those of his summons, so slowing them down is very helpful. Furthermore, Prometheus uses fast and powerful attacks while constantly on the move. Being able to slow him down is an excellent advantage in this fight.

Tips and Tricks To Defeat Prometheus in Hades 2

Here are some tips to make the fight easier:

• You should assign numbers or letters to his memory attack. This will help you remember the attacks better.
• Alternatively, you could always pause and note it down. Although this won’t be as fun, it’s still a way that will help you remember the upcoming attack better.
• Using Phase Shift will let you get a lot of (mostly) free hits in.
• Medea’s Emfeeblement of Cowards is another great way to slow down Prometheus’ projectiles.

Rewards After Defeating Prometheus in Hades 2

Prometheus gives you the following after being defeated:

• Wool
• Unlocks the path to reach the peak of Mount Olympus

After Prometheus, you will be very close to completing a run in Hades 2. All that remains is the fight against Typhon and the arduous task of getting there.
