Which Incantations Should I Get First In Hades 2?

You should get the following Incantations first or as soon as you can:

  • Night’s Craftwork because it lets you carry tools like the Crescent Pickaxe and the Silver Spade on your adventures, which allows you to gather resources, which you’ll need to create any other weapons and is essential to other upgrades.
  • Summoning of Mercantile Fortune summons the Wretched Broker, who is a merchant who is essential to obtaining certain items.
  • Doomed Beckoning because it summons Moros, which is essential to the game’s plot.
  • Reagent Sensing helps you locate natural resources in your current location.
  • Rich Soil lets you plant seeds, which helps you get more resources.
  • Consecration of Ashes lets you use the Altar of Ashee, which lets you upgrade your Arcana.
  • Permeation of Witching-Wards is also something you should focus on casting as soon as you can get it. You won’t get this until a bit later in the game, but you should focus on doing it as soon as possible because it’s how you access the Surface, which is barred at the beginning of the game. There are lots of materials on the Surface that you need too, so it’s good to get them as soon as possible.
