In order to face his father's armies across the Underworld, Zagreus must equip himself properly. Among his arsenal in Hades, the Prince of the Underworld possesses the Blade of the Styx and its various aspects. This sword is the hero's first weapon and proves to be fast, offering a fairly mobile style of play.
After unlocking the 6 basic weapons, the different aspects of each of them can be obtained. You have to spend a certain amount of Titan Blood to unlock them, but each aspect offers unique bonuses and skills.
