How to Get Flurry Jab in Hades

Flurry Jab is a powerful attack upgrade in Hades that allows you to strike rapidly by holding down your attack button. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to unlock and equip Flurry Jab during your escape attempt.

Prerequisites: Weapon and Aspect Selection

To unlock Flurry Jab in Hades, you must first equip the Eternal Spear. This weapon is essential for Flurry Jab to appear as an upgrade option.

If you have unlocked all weapon aspects, you can equip either:

Aspect of Zagreus

Aspect of Achilles

Important: Do not equip Aspect of Hades or Aspect of Guanyu. Both of these aspects will block the appearance of Flurry Jab in your upgrade pool, making it impossible to obtain during that run.

Starting Your Run and Increasing Heat

Begin a new escape attempt with your Eternal Spear equipped. Before you start, consider increasing your Heat level to make the run more challenging and rewarding.

First Hammer Upgrade: Avoiding Spin Attacks

During your first encounter with the Loose Hammer upgrade, you will see several options. The key to obtaining Flurry Jab is your next choice:

When selecting your hammer upgrade, choose any option except:

Massive Spin

Any spin attack upgrade

These spin attack upgrades will permanently block Flurry Jab from appearing in your upgrade pool for that run. Instead, consider choosing upgrades like Triple Jump or other non-spin alternatives.

Progressing to the Next Stage

Continue through your run with the hammer upgrade you selected. If you haven’t found Flurry Jab yet, progress to the next chamber. You will encounter another Loose Hammer upgrade opportunity.

Unlocking Flurry Jab

When you see the Flurry Jab option appear in your upgrade menu, select it immediately. Flurry Jab will now be active on your Eternal Spear.

How to Use Flurry Jab

Once you have Flurry Jab equipped, the attack mechanic is straightforward:

Hold your attack button to strike rapidly in succession

You cannot perform spin attacks while Flurry Jab is active

The continuous rapid strikes make it excellent for dealing consistent damage

Summary

To successfully obtain Flurry Jab in Hades: equip the Eternal Spear with either Aspect of Zagreus or Aspect of Achilles, avoid Aspect of Hades and Aspect of Guanyu, skip all spin attack hammer upgrades, and select Flurry Jab when it appears in your upgrade menu. Once equipped, hold down your attack button to unleash rapid consecutive strikes. This upgrade is a powerful tool for any Eternal Spear run!
