Learn how to effectively use the Aspect of Beowulf in Hades II, focusing on its Dragon Rush, Flare boons, and strategies for handling tough enemies and bosses.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Aspect of Beowulf Overview: Load bloodstones into your shield to deploy them as “Flare” boons at the end of an empowered Bull Rush (Dragon Rush). This Dragon Rush gains +100% damage and impact area at max Aspect level. Your standard Attack and Special become slower but deal significantly more base damage. You will also take 10% additional damage.
  2. 2
    Strengths: The Aspect of Beowulf offers significant damage-increasing benefits, particularly effective against clustered melee enemies. A well-placed Cast-loaded Dragon Rush can deal remarkable damage to groups of enemies.
  3. 3
    Weaknesses: You take 10% additional damage due to an inherent debuff. The charge for a fully Cast-loaded Dragon Rush is slow, leaving you vulnerable to attacks from the flanks. This Aspect struggles against spread-out groups of projectile-throwing foes.
  4. 4
    Strategy: Overwhelm your opponents quickly before they can overwhelm you. Divine Dash is highly recommended to mitigate projectile threats.
  5. 5
    Boss Fights:
  6. 6
    Asterius: The Aspect of Beowulf has difficulty with Asterius, as he cannot be overwhelmed quickly, and the Dragon Rush may expose you to return attacks.
  7. 7
    Hades: The Hades fight is more manageable due to a larger space for navigation. Carefully plan and charge your Dragon Rush attempts, timing them to rush past Hades as he telegraphs an attack, dealing heavy damage while preserving the ability to dash away.
Tips
  • Complementary upgrades: Sudden Rush, Breaching Rush, Minotaur Rush, Unyielding Defense.
  • Complementary boons: Focus on low-frequency Attack boons that increase percentage damage or apply debuffs to boost Dragon Rush’s high base damage (Aphrodite, Athena, Artemis, Demeter). Low-frequency Special boons can help spread debuffs or dispatch enemies from a distance with improved base damage of heavy Special (Aphrodite, Demeter, Athena). Divine Dash is a godsend.
  • The most effective Cast “Flare” boons can significantly boost damage, but testing all options is recommended.
