Tips
- Keep track of the green skull vases Hades places around the arena, as they explode in a damaging shockwave if destroyed or after their timer expires.
- Use the massive pillars around the battle arena to block Hades' devastating 360-degree beam attacks during his second phase.
- Be prepared for Hades to immediately recover his full health bar and transition into a more aggressive second phase after losing all his health the first time.
- Look for shimmering ripples in the water ponds around the garden to catch surface-exclusive fish before speaking to Persephone.
