Hades uses Fire attack exclusively but not a single attack is truly lethal. Watch out for his Fireball, you can reflect to stun him. He will shout, “Feel the heat!” and move to the center of the arena during the fight. Stand behind him at this point and turn close to him as he shoots flames from his hands and moves in a circular motion. The closer you are, the further you have to run so stay in close. Hades will sometimes levitate toward you with a small fire flowing from his hands. Use Blizzard and he’ll stop in his track, switching to another attack. Hades also charges at you now and again, Blizzard stops this too.

Beating Hades upgrades you to Graviga and you receive Ansem’s Report 8 .

There isn’t a whole lot of strategy involved for this battle. Target the Rock Titan’s legs and hack away while avoiding being stomped and it will eventually fall over. At this point, jump on it’s shoulders and continue to hack away. Watch out for it’s flailing head, but other than that there isn’t much to it. This fight acts more as a time sink than an actual fight so enjoy it because it’s the easiest champion you’ll face.

After completing the Hades Cup and learning Blizzaga, put out the flames at the Gates again. Open the Chest for a Shiva Belt and examine the purple pot for an Orichalcum .
