There aren\u2019t many of them, but the game is still in early access, so while this guide will have to do for now, we are hopeful that we\u2019ll be adding more cute families to this list soon. Here are all the Animal Familiar currently available in Hades 2 and how to get them. We'll update this article whenever new Familiars are added! All Animal Familiars in Hades 2 and where to find them (October 2024) Currently, there are four Animal Familiars in Hades 2. More are likely to be added throughout development. Frinos the Frog You might have already met this cute croaker while hanging around in the hub zone. In fact, he\u2019s the first one to welcome you back after a run ends. Go back to the area in the hub zone where you first teleport after a run has ended, give him the Witch\u2019s Delight, and Frinos will become your companion.\u00a0 Frinos gives you a few more hearts and allows you to carry an extra tool with you, which is incredibly helpful.\u00a0 Toula the Cat When you get access to the surface, in the Rift of Thessaly, near the Pier area, look for Toula the Cat at the pier and give her a treat, and it will become your new companion. While Frinos is great for gathering materials, Toula is great for winning boss battles. Not only does it give you another Death Defy, but it also has a scratch attack, which it uses whenever you Dodge in front of an enemy. Raki the Raven To tame Raki the Raven, the Woodsy Lifespring incantation needs to be completed (requiring one Moly and three Silver). This results in a Fountain Room randomly appearing when traveling through the Erebus region where Raki the Raven is found. Raki has different bonds that boost your combat, with the Blood Bond increasing Critical Hit chance, the Stone Bond granting bonus resources from Ore deposits, and the Wing Bond resulting in Raki swooping down to attack enemies more regularly. Hecuba the Hound Hecuba the Hound can be found in Echo's Room in the Fields of Mourning Zone, though there is only a chance that the pet will appear. If you reach this area but don't encounter Hecuba, you need to keep trying\u2014which can take a while, as you need to defeat both Hecate and Scylla to reach this point. You will be informed when Hecuba is ready to be recruited, as Hecate tells you at the Crossroads hub that the hound is \"willing to watch over Melino\u00eb.\" Once you get that cue, it's time to start the hunt for Hecuba. Hecuba's bonuses include an increase to your maximum Magick, bonus resources from digging spots, and Hecuba stunning enemies more often. How to unlock Animal Familiars in Hades 2 Before you become a proud owner of an adorable familiar in Hades 2, you need to have some Familiar treats. Keep playing the game and powering up. More importantly, keep fighting Headmistress Hecate. Before you initiate one of her fights, she will tell you about Animal Familiars, which unlocks the Faith of the Familiar Spirits incantation. To complete this incantation, you need Nectar and Lotus. You can buy one Nectar from the Wretched Broker per run, or find them as rewards in many zones. You can find Lotus in Oceanus, the second zone.\u00a0 This creates the item (treat) needed to get your first companion, the Witch\u2019s Delight. Don\u2019t worry, you can create more treats later with a different incantation, the Beast-Loved Morsel\u2014and you should, as you can get more companions and even boost their stats. Everything you need for both Incantations is shown in the table below. Incantation ResourcesFaith of the Familiar Spirit - 2x Nectar - 1x Lotus Beast-Loved Morsel - 2x Lotus

There aren\u2019t many of them, but the game is still in early access, so while this guide will have to do for now, we are hopeful that we\u2019ll be adding more cute families to this list soon. Here are all the Animal Familiar currently available in Hades 2 and how to get them. We'll update this article whenever new Familiars are added! All Animal Familiars in Hades 2 and where to find them (October 2024) Currently, there are four Animal Familiars in Hades 2. More are likely to be added throughout development. Frinos the Frog You might have already met this cute croaker while hanging around in the hub zone. In fact, he\u2019s the first one to welcome you back after a run ends. Go back to the area in the hub zone where you first teleport after a run has ended, give him the Witch\u2019s Delight, and Frinos will become your companion.\u00a0 Frinos gives you a few more hearts and allows you to carry an extra tool with you, which is incredibly helpful.\u00a0 Toula the Cat When you get access to the surface, in the Rift of Thessaly, near the Pier area, look for Toula the Cat at the pier and give her a treat, and it will become your new companion. While Frinos is great for gathering materials, Toula is great for winning boss battles. Not only does it give you another Death Defy, but it also has a scratch attack, which it uses whenever you Dodge in front of an enemy. Raki the Raven To tame Raki the Raven, the Woodsy Lifespring incantation needs to be completed (requiring one Moly and three Silver). This results in a Fountain Room randomly appearing when traveling through the Erebus region where Raki the Raven is found. Raki has different bonds that boost your combat, with the Blood Bond increasing Critical Hit chance, the Stone Bond granting bonus resources from Ore deposits, and the Wing Bond resulting in Raki swooping down to attack enemies more regularly. Hecuba the Hound Hecuba the Hound can be found in Echo's Room in the Fields of Mourning Zone, though there is only a chance that the pet will appear. If you reach this area but don't encounter Hecuba, you need to keep trying\u2014which can take a while, as you need to defeat both Hecate and Scylla to reach this point. You will be informed when Hecuba is ready to be recruited, as Hecate tells you at the Crossroads hub that the hound is \"willing to watch over Melino\u00eb.\" Once you get that cue, it's time to start the hunt for Hecuba. Hecuba's bonuses include an increase to your maximum Magick, bonus resources from digging spots, and Hecuba stunning enemies more often. How to unlock Animal Familiars in Hades 2 Before you become a proud owner of an adorable familiar in Hades 2, you need to have some Familiar treats. Keep playing the game and powering up. More importantly, keep fighting Headmistress Hecate. Before you initiate one of her fights, she will tell you about Animal Familiars, which unlocks the Faith of the Familiar Spirits incantation. To complete this incantation, you need Nectar and Lotus. You can buy one Nectar from the Wretched Broker per run, or find them as rewards in many zones. You can find Lotus in Oceanus, the second zone.\u00a0 This creates the item (treat) needed to get your first companion, the Witch\u2019s Delight. Don\u2019t worry, you can create more treats later with a different incantation, the Beast-Loved Morsel\u2014and you should, as you can get more companions and even boost their stats. Everything you need for both Incantations is shown in the table below. Incantation ResourcesFaith of the Familiar Spirit - 2x Nectar - 1x Lotus Beast-Loved Morsel - 2x Lotus
