Hades Switch Big W Update: Fixes and Improvements

The latest update for Hades on the Nintendo Switch is here, bringing with it a plethora of fixes and improvements to enhance your experience in the Underworld. In this article, we'll dive into what's new and what's changed in this patch.

First up, the Infernal Arms, Aspects, and Abilities have received some much-needed TLC. The Zeus' Thunder Flourish skill has been fixed to deal Critical damage as intended when paired with Pressure Points from Artemis. Meanwhile, Gilgamesh Aspect's Twin Fists now correctly apply their Maim effect, dealing more damage than previously.

Boons and Blessings also get a boost in this update. Nourished Soul, Demeter's passive ability, will no longer drop healing items in unreachable locations. Additionally, the 'Pom-Powered!' Victory Commendation should now appear as intended.

The Shield of Chaos, wielded by Beowulf Aspect, has been improved to load Bloodstone ammo reliably during a Bull Rush. Icy Flare, Demeter's skill, will correctly register as a prerequisite for Winter Harvest, and Trippy Flare, Dionysus' ability, deals the expected amount of damage when used with the Bow's Aspect of Hera.

Community feedback has also inspired some changes. For instance, Zagreus and Hades should now snark about Color Trim purchases from the House Contractor as intended. A rare sequencing issue in the subplot between Dusa and Nyx has been fixed, ensuring a smoother storytelling experience. Similarly, the first meeting with Sisyphus now features the correct dialogue.

Lastly, various minor fixes have been implemented to localized text in different languages and to prevent rare crashes when interacting with the Shield while using the Aspect of Guan Yu.

As always, we'd like to express our gratitude for your continued support and enthusiasm. Here's to many more thrilling adventures in the Underworld!
