All Nocturnal Arms in Hades 2 And How To Get Them (Weapons)
There are six Nocturnal Arms or weapons available in Hades 2:
- Witch’s Staff – Descura (Default weapon for Melinoe)
- Moonstone Axe
- Umbral Flames
- Sister Blades – Lim and Oros
- Argent Skulll
- Black Coat – Xinth
Here is a more detailed description of Nocturnal Arm in Hades 2:
Witch’s Staff – Descura
- Weapon type: Staff
- Suitable for: Ranged
- Crafting Materials Required: none
A starting weapon, you will receive it as default when you begin.
Moonstone Axe
- Weapon type: Greataxe
- Suitable for: Slow but Powerful Melee Combat
- Crafting Materials Required: 15x Silver
A heavy weapon that swings slowly but deals excellent damage. The final hit in a combo slams the weapon down into the ground for area-of-effect damage.
Umbral Flames
- Weapon type: Dual Wield Torches
- Suitable for: Ranged Magick Combat
- Crafting Materials Required: 3x Silver, 3x Cinder
Cast balls of flames from the torches for basic attacks. Somewhat slow in movement, this weapon takes some getting used to. It’s best used for a casting build, but it still needs the right boons to make it effective.
Sister Blades – Lim and Oros
- Weapon type: Daggers
- Suitable for: Melee Combat
- Crafting Materials Required: 1x Silver
The Sister Blades are two unique daggers named Lim and Oros that are always used together. One is curved like a miniature scythe while the other is straight like an arrow. As a result, they are ideal for quick and agile combat. Compared to the starting weapon, Descura, the Sister Blades are significantly more powerful, especially with their Omega Attack in Hades 2.
Argent Skull
- Weapon type: Skull Grenades
- Suitable for: Ranged Explosives Combat
- Crafting Materials Required: 2x Glassrock, 1x Bronze
Throw a limited amount of skull ammo, much like grenades. They will deal direct hits or explosive area-of-effect damage. However, you must pick them back up before casting them again. Potentially powerful, but the playstyle may take some getting used to.
Black Coat – Xinth
- Weapon type: Mechanical Jetpack and Arms
- Suitable for: Melee and Ranged Combat
- Crafting Materials Required: 2x Cinder, 2x Adamant
The Black Coat Xinth in Hades 2 is almost like the Adamant Rail nocturnal arm from the prequel. The weapon consists of a mechanical jetpack and two massive arms that Melinoe can use to fly around the stage. Moreover, she can shoot missiles and create shields to block incoming damage. Note that you can create both melee and ranged focused builds because of how uniquely this nocturnal arm functions compared to others.
