The God Mode in Hades 2 is a feature that instantly makes you tougher, more so whenever you fail. Upon activation of this mode, you are presented with these advantages:

  • A 20% bonus to your damage resistance. It means that the attacks from enemies would deal far less destruction than they would without the intervention of God Mode.
  • After you die each time, the previous 20% resistance receives a 2% increment, with subsequent stacks for every death.

The more times you meet death, the more resistance you can obtain.

Cons of using God Mode in Hades 2

Using God Mode in Hades 2 has no negative consequences so far, apart from reducing some of the game's inherent challenges. It only serves as a crutch for new players to progress through the game without much struggle, allowing them to enjoy the story mode simultaneously.

In the first part of Hades, enabling God Mode led to the disabling of Achievements. However, since Hades 2 is still in Early Access, and Achievements have not been rolled out yet, there are no adverse effects associated with God Mode.
