How to Beat Prometheus in Hades 2

Hades 2

Hades 2

Prometheus is no ordinary mid-run obstacle. He is the Titan of Foresight and the final real gatekeeper before Mount Olympus.

The fight uses constant projectiles, lasting fire, and strict pattern memorization that can drain a life bar in seconds.

If you rush in unprepared, he’ll box you into burning corners and punish every slow dodge. This guide brings together the smartest prep tips and proven tactics so the fight feels winnable instead of overwhelming.

How Do You Prepare for the Titan of Foresight?

Prometheus is not a fight to enter without planning because his attacks fill the arena with projectiles and ground hazards, so bring a loadout that keeps you mobile and able to clear incoming fire.

Athena’s boons shine because her dash or sprint with Deflect blocks many of his shots, reflects some back at him, and keeps the arena from filling with fire.

Trade Death Defy for power if you’re confident. The Strength Arcana card gives a huge damage bump if you’re willing to fight without extra lives.

Just make sure you also grab defensive boons or dodge boosts so you aren’t paper-thin. Choose allies that can counter projectiles, since Anti-shot helpers like Frinos make incoming fire much less dangerous.

Other reliable options include Aphrodite, Hestia, or Apollo boons that add dodge, damage reduction, or sprint control if Athena stays absent.

You want to soak less damage and keep the floor safe, then push openings when his big telegraphs end. Prometheus turns the field into a trap over time, each slam, kick, or wave leaving blue flames that hurt if you stand wrong.

You need to drop those flames where they won’t matter. Move the circular traps to the edges so the center stays open for later dodges.

Push the long flame streaks toward the edge. If he lays down a red Wave of Flame line, hug a wall so the burning area ends up far from where movement is required. Treat it like managing traffic and place the flames before the fight.

How Can You Recognize His Core Attacks?

Aetos sweeps over and launches projectiles, so sidestep and dodge the last strike.

Flame Vortex / Flame Ring Slam is a heavy uppercut or jump slam that creates a fire ring. Circle behind or dash inward just as it lands, then take a few hits and back off.

The Arena Trap is when a red ring forms around you and charges up. Head for the edge while it tracks. Dash is free the moment the lock finishes.

Flaming Slice Kick cuts across in the air with fire. Keep range and pass through just before impact.

The Wave of Flame is a long red line that follows you before erupting and leaving fire behind.

Remain nearby, pause, and dash through him when the attack goes off. He crouches and fires a stream of projectiles.

The best approach is to sprint behind him, and if you have Deflect, send some of his attacks back. The summoned adds usually disappear quickly, so dodge their shots instead of chasing them.

How Do You Survive the Memory Game?

Around two-thirds health and once more at one-third, Prometheus leaps back and lights the arena with red attack lanes.

The first one has three steps, the second has five. Flames then sweep across in that order. Learn where safety lies instead of memorizing threats.

Many players call out positions like “top, mid, bottom” during the preview, then step into the safe lane before the wave comes.

The whole floor resets after each pattern, giving you a clean arena. Failing this usually costs a life outright, so treat it as the fight’s main test.

When Are the Best Times to Attack?

Your best chances to hit him come right after Flame Vortex or a slam finishes, right after you dodge Wave of Flame by dashing through him, and whenever his own aggression drags him far from you and he pauses to re-center.

Take only two or three careful hits and stop. Swinging longer leaves you trapped in the lingering fire. Prometheus will sometimes slip out of a heavy blow and flash a DODGED! Message.

It’s on cooldown now, so keep calm and keep applying steady pressure. Don’t hinge the whole run on one big critical hit.
