Asphodel
Asphodel is the second underworld region in Hades, an inundated plain of magma and scorched islands that you enter after clearing Tartarus. You must navigate across stepping stones and magma pools while fighting hordes of undead and fiery creatures across various chambers. The region concludes with a boss battle against the Lernaean Bone Hydra.

Shops and people
- Charon: Three random offerings consisting of Olympian Boons, Daedalus Hammers, Poms of Power, Centaur Hearts, Darkness, or healing items
- Eurydice: Offers one of three food items that upgrade existing boons, increase the rarity of future boons, or add levels to randomly selected boons
Tips
- Standing on the magma deals rapidly escalating ticking damage, so avoid lingering on it without dashing.
- You can quickly dash across magma patches to reach neighboring islands without taking damage if your dash clears the distance.
- Knockback effects from boons like Poseidon's can push enemies into the magma to deal passive burn damage to them.
- Breaking flaming urns scattered around islands causes them to explode, which can damage both you and nearby foes.
