How to Unlock Aspect of Guan Yu in Hades

The Aspect of Guan Yu is the hidden final aspect of the Eternal Spear in Hades. If you’re looking to add this powerful weapon variant to your arsenal, you’ll need to meet several specific requirements and complete particular tasks. This guide walks you through each step to unlock this exclusive aspect.

Understanding the Requirements

Before you can unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu, you need to satisfy four key requirements:

Purchase the Faded List of Minor Prophecies from the House of Contractor

Reach the final boss level in at least one run (you don’t need to defeat them, just reach that level)

Unlock all six weapons

Complete runs with each weapon by finishing at least two to three dungeons per weapon

Step 1: Purchase the Faded List of Minor Prophecies

Your first action is to head to the House of Contractor and purchase the Faded List of Minor Prophecies. This is a critical item needed to proceed with unlocking the aspect.

Step 2: Reach the Final Boss Level

You need to complete at least one run where you reach the final boss level. Note that you don’t need to defeat the final boss—simply reaching that stage is sufficient.

Step 3: Unlock All Six Weapons

Complete runs with each of the six weapons in Hades. You don’t need to fully complete these runs—simply finish two to three dungeons with each weapon to unlock them all.

Step 4: Trigger the Dialogue with Achilles

Once you’ve completed the previous steps, you’ll trigger a dialogue with Achilles. He will say: “I see you through the eyes of the Crimson Phoenix.” This dialogue serves as confirmation that you’ve unlocked the Aspect of Guan Yu.

Understanding Titan Blood Requirements

To fully unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu for use, you must spend at least five Titan Blood on non-Zagreus aspects across any weapons. This means upgrading aspects like the Aspect of Achilles or other weapon aspects—but excluding the default Zagreus aspect. You can distribute these five Titan Blood upgrades across multiple weapons or concentrate them on a single weapon.

Unlocking the Aspect in Your Armory

Once you’ve met all requirements, return to your armory and equip the Eternal Spear. Press E to inspect the weapon and view the aspect options. The Aspect of Guan Yu can now be unlocked by spending three Titan Blood.

Summary

Unlocking the Aspect of Guan Yu requires patience and dedication, but the process is straightforward once you know what to do. Purchase the Faded List of Minor Prophecies, reach the final boss level, unlock and run with all six weapons, spend five Titan Blood on non-Zagreus aspects, and trigger the dialogue with Achilles. Finally, spend three Titan Blood to unlock the Aspect of Guan Yu in your armory. With this guide, you’ll have this hidden aspect ready for your next run!
