The Crossroads (Post-run return)
Hades II guide · Returning to the hub after a failed or successful run
← All areas in this guide
Upon dying or finishing an escape attempt, Melinoë rises from the central pool in the Crossroads to regroup. This is your chance to turn in collected materials for incantations, activate Tarots at the Altar, and progress companion or deity dialogues. After upgrading your gear and checking on the camp, you can return to the training grounds to prepare for your next run.
