Who Is Hestia in Hades 2?
May. 7, 2024With the release of Hades 2, many of the old gods and goddesses from the first game are making a return. One of them includes Hestia, the Greek goddess of fire. You’ll find her during your journey through Hades 2, with Hestia occasionally coming to Melinoe’s aid. But who exactly is Hestia in Hades 2, and how is she useful? Let’s begin breaking it all down!
Hestia 2 Hades 2: Who Is She and Why Does She Help You?
Hestia is one of the Greek goddesses in Hades 2 who helps Melinoe in her quest to defeat the forces of Chronos, the Time Titan. As such, like most gods and goddesses in Hades 2, she provides Melinoe with Boons that help her fight. She is the Goddess of Flame, and as such, every boon Hestia gives isfire-based. Furthermore, she has a flame icon as her unique icon.
If you’ve played the first Hades, you’ve heard her name while using theAdamant Rail, as she was the previous owner. That was a weapon she possibly used. Hence, this is the first time she appears in the Hades game with Hades 2. She is a kind-hearted and understanding lady with a dark side. As such, she threatens to set everything on fire from time to time.
In ancient Greek mythology, Hestia lived up to her namesake, the goddess of the Hearth and the Home. She isZeus’s sisterand is depicted as a female wearing long clothes and a shawl on her head.
She is also one of the five offsprings of Chronos, the Time Titan, who eventually devoured her in fear of her overthrowing him. However, Zeus rescues her, resulting in Chronos’s overthrow from Mount Olympus and her becoming one of the goddesses.
Hestia lends her help to her niece Melinoe in the form of boons, which you can consider added perks. Here are the ones I’ve discovered after my multiple playthroughs. As I said above, most of Hestia’s boons in Hades 2 are fire-based, giving Melinoe’s attacks some well-deserved fire damage. Let’s take a look at some of these boons:
Remember that the boons above are the ones I found during the early access launch. I am strictly avoiding adding the technical test variants to the list.
That is everything you should know about Hestia in Hades 2. From her hooded figure in technical tests to the current iteration in early access, she does radiate quite an aura. But what do you think about her? Let us know in the comments below!
