Hades 2: Best tips to beat the Fields of Mourning
The Fields of Mourning present you with more than one Boon or buff per room, which is a nice adjustment to the previous regionsErebusand Oceanus. If you’re struggling to make it through this section of Hades 2, here are some tips on how to tackle the Fields of Mourning.
How to beat the Infernal Beast
The Guardian of the Fields of Mourning is the Infernal Beast, which is one of the toughest bosses to beat in Hades 2. If you’re having a tough time making it past this boss, here are some tips that can help you take it down. First off, I had a few great Boons that helped me out:
The first half of the fight is the easiest, as the Infernal Beast has relatively unchallenging moves to dodge. Alwaysstay behind this bosssince it’s easy to dodge behind it and lay in some hits before it turns around. As soon as you see it lift both hands up, run away, as it’ll pound the ground and deal AoE damage around it. If it raises one hand, get behind it, because this damage radius will be much larger.
The Infernal Beast will also swipe its arm, throwing out an arc of fiery damage that will continue to travel outwards. You can easily dodge through this. Halfway through the fight, it’ll spawn some minions. They shouldn’t be too tough to take out, and the Infernal Beast will be out of your way.
After that is the tough part. You’ll see numerous orange circles appear on the ground, warning you of an impending attack. It’ll be tough to avoid this one, but you should be able tospot a small open areathat isn’t covered to hide from the attack.
Another annoying attack is when the boss spits bursts of fire in an arc, but getting behind it is easy enough to avoid this attack. Continue to take your time getting hits in and avoiding these damaging circular attacks to win the fight. If you want to upgrade your build for taking on the Infernal Beast, verify you have the rightKeepsake.
