This has led Hades 2 fans to speculate about what the final addition from Supergiant Games to Melinoe’s Silver Pool will be. Recent theories suggest that the sixth and final weapon in the game will be a bow, as pointed out by some Reddit users.

Currently, Melinoe has access to five weapons that players can utilize in various runs through the game: Sister Blades, Moonstone Axe, Argent Skull, Witch’s Staff, and Umbral Flames. Each of these Hades 2 weapons has unique characteristics and significantly influences the gameplay, yet there is still one slot available in the Silver Pool.

As Supergiant Games remains tight-lipped about their ongoing projects, fans are left to create theories based on in-game dialogues, hunting for possible clues. One of the strongest hints suggests the possibility of a bow, given that characters like Odysseus and Artemis mention Melinoe should try using this ranged weapon again in certain conversations.

However, this potential addition does not excite all players. A similar weapon was wielded by Zagreus in the first game, and some fans are reluctant to see repeated weapons in Hades 2, wishing instead for fresh and new items.

If the bow is not confirmed as Melinoe’s final weapon, fans are split between expecting something unusual and different, like the Exagryph in Hades 2, or a crossbow, which might align more with the second game’s style. Other weapon possibilities are also being discussed and will likely continue to be debated until Supergiant makes an official announcement, Supergiant is striving to ensure that the update for one of the year’s most popular games will be exceptional.

Unfortunately, despite having a significant amount of playable content, Hades 2 is not yet complete, and major updates have not been released by the developers. So far, the game has only received a small patch to fix some bugs, with the first substantial update slated for late May, aimed at improving gameplay based on player feedback.

It remains uncertain when the sixth and final weapon for Melinoe will be revealed. It could be introduced soon or may only be unveiled when the game exits Early Access at the end of 2024, as a new addition for fans embarking on a fresh journey with a complete Hades 2 game.

Moreover, before the final version of the game is released, Supergiant promises to roll out several major patches, bringing significant updates to keep the game fresh and filled with new content for those supporting it during Early Access and perhaps confirming other fan theories.

The Hades 2 community is now engaged and eagerly awaiting new updates, especially those who have already explored the current five weapons and all other content available in Early Access. Do you prefer Melinoe’s next addition to her arsenal to be something entirely new or a return of Zagreus’ equipment? Share your expectations with us in the comments!
