Duo Boons
Boons, in general, are one of the most unique mechanics in Hades 2, but Duo Boons take it one step further. Duo Boons are Boons that share the power of two Gods rather than just one. On this page, you will find everything there is to know about Duo Boons, including how to get them and what they do.
What Are Duo Boons in Hades 2?
Duo Boons are unique Boons that are created and offered to you when two Gods combine their powers to create a new Boon. They are a little different than regular Boons, not only in terms of their effects but also how you get them.
Duo Boons are only offered if you have two (or more) particular Boons from two different Gods. If those two Gods are compatible with one another and are capable of creating a Duo Boon, you may see their Duo Boon in the pool next time you are choosing a gift from one of the two Gods in question. Duo Boons are green in color, so you can easily tell them apart from the rest of the Boons in the pool.
