This detailed guide will walk you through the journey on how to defeat Scylla and The Sirens in Hades 2 and the rewards you will get after you win.
The second boss you will encounter in Hades 2 is the trio of Scylla and her fellow sirens, Roxy and Jetty, who guard the depths of Oceanus. This multi-phase battle proves to be a difficult challenge because it demands quick reflexes and strategic thinking from players.
Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to emerge victorious against these mythical musicians and claim the rewards that await.
Scylla and her bandmates, Roxy (the drummer) and Jetty (the guitarist) share a single health bar but each possesses unique abilities and attack patterns. To triumph, you must adapt to the ever-changing battlefield and prioritize targets effectively.
Here is the breakdown of Scylla’s move set:
Attack | Image | Description |
Charging Spikes | Channels red energy before charging with spikes | |
Shell Bomb | Hides in the shell, then throws urchins | |
Mic Slash | Lunges with glowing microphone | |
Musical Notes | Sings orb notes that pursue the player | |
Rotating Lasers | Channels four lasers that rotate around her |
And here is the breakdown of Roxy’s attacks:
Attack | Image | Description |
Drumming Circles | Summons damaging circles in set patterns. | |
In and Out | Alternates between attacking the entire room and a small circle around herself. |
Last but not least, here is Jetty’s attacks:
Attack | Image | Description |
Mermaid Dash | Dashes towards the player, releasing a damaging wave. | |
Orbs | Plays guitar, summoning small red orbs that chase the player. | |
Bubble Waves | Strums guitar, sending stunning bubbles towards the player |
In the first phase, you should target Roxy first since she won’t be moving anywhere but sitting behind her drum, making her vulnerable. Then, focus on Jetty, as her surprise dashes can be very damaging. Scylla’s attacks are dangerous but easier to dodge because she moves slower.
As the sirens’ health depletes, they will enter a second phase, with one member becoming the “Featured Artist” with enhanced abilities. Adapt to this change by concentrating fire on the empowered siren while still managing the others’ attacks.
The final phase sees Scylla summoning lasers that rotate around her as a last resort. Use any remaining burst damage to quickly finish her off.
While various builds can prove effective, certain weapon and boon combinations excel against Scylla and The Sirens:
Trying out different combinations and adjusting to the constantly changing boons from the gods is crucial to developing a winning strategy against Scylla and her sidekicks.
Winning the battle with Scylla and The Sirens will grant you Pearls. These rare materials are crucial when you want to craft Nocturnal Arms and Incantations at the River of Night in the Crossroads.
Since Scylla and The Sirens are the only providers of Pearls, defeating them repeatedly is vital for players aiming to maximize Melinoe’s abilities and explore the depths of the Underworld.
