Last night, a chilling silence descended upon the Asphodel fields. I'd just cleared a particularly brutal encounter, my health teetering on the brink, and the sweet relief of a boon awaited. It was Hermes, the swift-footed messenger, his usual cacophony of pronouncements and pronouncements usually a welcome distraction from the impending doom of another run. But this time… silence. A pregnant, unnerving silence before the reveal of his gifts. This got me thinking: What makes a Hermes boon in Hades so impactful (or utterly disastrous)? And how much do we really *need* his constant, sometimes maddening, commentary?
This article will delve into the world of Hermes boons in Supergiant Games' Hades, examining the spectrum of his offerings, from the god-tier to the downright dreadful. We'll explore strategies for maximizing his usefulness, and even contemplate the tantalizing possibility of a "mute Hermes" option in future updates. After all, sometimes, even the most helpful god can be a little *too* much.
Hades 2: Hermes Boons – A Glimpse into the Future
While we don't have concrete details about Hermes' boons in the upcoming Hades II, we can extrapolate based on his established role in the original game. Given the increased complexity and range of character builds anticipated in the sequel, it's highly likely that Hermes will provide an even wider array of boons, potentially offering more specialized buffs tailored to specific weapon types or playstyles. We might see entirely new boons focused on mobility, crowd control, or even strategic resource management. The potential for synergies with other gods' boons will undoubtedly be expanded as well, leading to even more unpredictable and powerful builds. Imagine a Hermes boon that synergizes with a Demeter boon to create a devastatingly efficient and survivable build, or perhaps one that combines with Dionysus to enhance your already potent offensive capabilities. The possibilities are endless and exciting.
Hades: Best Hermes Boons – The Crème de la Crème
Hermes' boons are renowned for their versatility and often-unexpected power. However, some consistently rise above the rest. These "best" boons often hinge on specific builds and playstyles, but some common standouts include:
* Jolt: This early-game boon is a fantastic starting point for many builds. The added damage and chance to stun enemies are invaluable, especially when facing hordes of weaker enemies. It provides a solid foundation for building upon with other boons. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a consistently reliable choice.
* Spring of the Air: This boon provides a significant boost to mobility, allowing for quick escapes from dangerous situations and more efficient maneuvering in combat. Its value increases exponentially when combined with other boons that enhance movement speed or attack speed. For builds focused on dodging and evading attacks, this is an absolute must-have.
* Exceptional Agility: While not as flashy as some other boons, Exceptional Agility's consistent damage boost and attack speed increase make it a powerful asset throughout the run. Its reliability makes it a staple for many players, especially those who prefer a steady and consistent damage output over high-risk, high-reward options.
* Hermes' Special Delivery: This boon is a game changer. The ability to instantly teleport a short distance is incredibly useful for escaping dangerous situations, repositioning for attacks, or quickly traversing the battlefield. Its value is amplified when combined with boons that increase movement speed or damage after dashing.
