Alright, let's get you prepped for Part 60 of your Wild Hearts journey. This section covers a couple of big things: a tough boss fight against Hercules and a deep dive into the Hades Cup. It's a lot, but we'll break it down so you can come out on top.

Boss: Hercules

Stats / Weaknesses:

HP: 450
Attack: 29
Defense: 23
Weak: N/A
Resist: N/A
Drop: Herc's Shield
Experience: 700

Phases:

Hercules starts by guarding with a yellow glow, making him invincible. During this phase, barrels will spawn. Your job is to grab these barrels and toss them at him. This will daze him, making him vulnerable to your attacks. Go all out for damage while he's dizzy, as he recovers quickly.
Hercules has a lunge and a spinning attack. These are pretty easy to dodge with a well-timed Dodge Roll. Don't try to hit him with barrels when he's doing these moves; instead, wait for him to start flexing and taunting. That's your cue to attack him directly and follow up with a combo.

Strategy:

Focus on using the environment (the barrels) to create openings.
Dodge Roll is your best friend for avoiding his direct attacks.
When he's taunting, unleash your strongest combos.
Persistence is key; keep at it, and this pretty boy will eventually fall.

Hades Cup

After you've learned Blizzaga (which you'll get from beating the Behemoth in Seed #40), head back to the Gates and put out the flames. You'll be able to access the Hades Cup challenges. Inside, you'll find a few things to collect:

Orichalcum: Examine the purple pot after completing the cup.
