Throughout your playthrough, Incantations will be a huge part of Hades 2. You play Melinoe, daughter of Hades and Princess of the Underworld. You are going to be pitted against Chronos, the god-swallowing titan, and will need every Incantation available to defeat him. Each spell can be brewed or crafted in the cauldron at your home base. Every Incantation has a different purpose.
Unfortunately, you will not be able to cast all of the Incantations early in Hades 2. In fact, you will not even know some exist until they become available later. Considering you need to track down the necessary resources to perform the Incantations, it would be wise to collect the crafting materials as you progress along the story. Here is a list of every Incantation available in Hades 2.
