Hades 2: How to Unlock Every Night Aspect

Night Aspects are special upgrades that permanently change how your Nocturnal Arms perform. They provide new mechanics, boost damage, and create build diversity. Unlocking them requires weapon progression, crafting, and key resources. This guide outlines every step and includes a breakdown of all Aspects.
What is Night Aspect’s Role in Hades 2
Hades 2 was released in September 2025, so it's time to guide the weapons for it.
Night Aspects are weapon-bound powers that act as permanent modifiers. Unlike Boons, they persist across runs and can be upgraded. To unlock them, you need the Aspects of Night and Darkness Incantation from Hecate, which becomes available after crafting and testing all five weapons.
