There are 50 achievements in Hades 2, and most fall out of normal play, but a handful are missable trick conditions.
Most of the 50 achievements in Hades 2 come naturally as you finish the story, but a few of them will be missed forever if you do not set them up on purpose.
The list covers region clears, big collection grinds, dozens of prophecy completions, and the story endings. Earning every one awards Goddess of Nightmares, the 100% completion Melinoe trophy.
The ones worth planning for are the trick achievements, like slaying an enemy while cursed into a sheep, or reaching the finale in a specific outfit. Those are easy to skip and annoying to set up after the fact.
This guide explains how the achievement list breaks down, the region and story milestones, the long collection goals, and the missable tricks you should knock out deliberately.
50 achievements, with Goddess of Nightmares for earning all the others.Hades 2 has 50 achievements, and the capstone, Goddess of Nightmares, is awarded for earning all of the other 49.
The wiki notes most are self-explanatory and come from simply playing through the story, since the bulk of them are tied to clearing regions and fulfilling prophecies from the Fated List. A large group is just completing specific named prophecies, which you do over many runs anyway.
The achievements you actually have to think about are the long collection grinds and a small set of trick conditions. Reaching 100% means finishing the story endings 
, maxing out collections, and deliberately setting up a few missable moments.
None of them are tied to a difficulty setting, so you can use the game assist options freely without locking yourself out of any trophy.
The backbone of the list is clearing every region and finishing the story, which you complete on the way to the true ending anyway.
| Achievement | What it needs |
|---|---|
| Region clears (eight) | Witch of the Woods, Depths, Plains, Abyss, Outskirts, Waters, Mountains, and Clouds, one per region across both routes. |
| Death to Chronos | Complete the lifelong task of the Princess of the Underworld, the main campaign goal. |
| Golden Age | Reach the epilogue of the story, the true final chapter after the true ending. |
| Behold Night's Champion | Earn the first Gift of the Veil, a post-game power milestone. |
| Mercy, Night's Executioner | Earn the second Gift of the Veil. |
| Elysian Glory | Prevail in the Contest of Champions in Elysium. |
The eight region clears cover both the Underworld and Surface routes, ending at Chronos in Tartarus and Typhon 
at the Summit. Death to Chronos and Golden Age are the two big story trophies, with Golden Age requiring the secret epilogue.
Several achievements are pure long-haul goals that you chip away at across dozens of runs.
The headline grinds are Sentimental Value for collecting every keepsake, Unassailable Insight for fully upgrading all Arcana, and Hand of the Fates for fulfilling 60 Minor Prophecies. Animal Whisperer and Beast Master ask you to recruit and fully upgrade every Animal Familiar, while Giving Back wants 10,000 Kudos.
A few more reward system mastery: So Mote It Be for casting 50 Incantations, Mind for Magick for 30 Grasp at the Altar of Ashes, Close Comrades for bonding with 10 characters, and Infinite Possibility for clearing 20 Chaos 
Trials. None are hard, but together they are the bulk of the time to 100%.
Knock out the bonding and gifting achievements alongside your keepsake collection. Forging bonds with comrades, taking them to the Hot Springs, Fishing Pier, and Taverna, and collecting keepsakes all come from the same gifting loop, so they progress together.
A handful of achievements need a specific in-fight condition you can easily skip, so plan to set them up on purpose.
| Achievement | The trick |
|---|---|
 Sheep's Clothing | Slay a Sister of the Dead while afflicted with the Twilight Curse, during the Hecate boss fight. |
 Breaking Up the Band | Use Night Bloom to raise a Siren during the Scylla fight in Oceanus. |
 Dressed to Kill | Reach the final confrontation while wearing an Arachne outfit. |
 Fair Fight | Earn 1,000 Gold competing against Nemesis. |
Sheep's Clothing is the most infamous, since it asks you to kill an add while Hecate has turned you into a sheep with her Twilight Curse, the exact thing the fight wants you to avoid. Breaking Up the Band needs the Night Bloom Hex from Selene 
during the Scylla encounter. Set these up in a run where you do not mind the detour.
There are 50 achievements in Hades 2 as of patch v1.0. Earning all 49 of the others awards the 50th, Goddess of Nightmares, which is the 100% completion trophy.
Most players point to Sheep's Clothing, which requires slaying a Sister of the Dead while you are cursed into a sheep by Hecate's Twilight Curse. It is awkward because the curse is normally something you try hard to avoid.
A few need specific setups you can easily skip, like Breaking Up the Band, which needs Selene's Night Bloom Hex during the Scylla fight, and Dressed to Kill, which needs an Arachne outfit at the finale. They are not permanently locked, but you have to plan a run around them.
Clear all eight regions across both routes, finish the story and epilogue, complete the big collection grinds like every keepsake and all Arcana, fulfill 60 prophecies, and set up the missable trick achievements. Earning all 49 grants Goddess of Nightmares.
During the Hecate boss fight, let her Twilight Curse turn you into a sheep, then kill one of her Sisters of the Dead while still cursed. You can still attack as a sheep, so bring enough damage to finish an add in that window.
Golden Age is the achievement for reaching the epilogue of the story, which is the secret final chapter after the true ending. It requires bonding with several characters and the Three Fates summoning sequence.
No. Hades 2 achievements are not tied to difficulty, so you can use God Mode and other assist options freely without locking yourself out of any trophy, including Goddess of Nightmares.
Hand of the Fates requires fulfilling 60 Minor Prophecies, and many individual achievements are named prophecy completions. Keeping the Fated List active every run is the fastest way to clear them.
