How to unlock the Dark Reflections achievement in Hades - Definitive Guide

To unlock this prophecy you will have had to beaten Hades once. You will also have to had enough conversations with Nyx to unlock the the bonus perks that come with the Mirror of Night and you'll need to have used the keys to unlock all of the perks on the mirror as well. After you get your prophecy, you'll have to beat Hades using all of the perks available from the mirror. Technically this could be done in two runs, just pick your perks, beat Hades, then flip them all and do it again. Doing a run without Death Defiance is the hardest run to do, so for that one, I would have all of the perks that I like on besides that one. But to each their own.

Stubborn defiance > death defiance IMO honestly.

I left the run that I had to use Stubborn Defiance on my 10th escape so I didn't have to fight Hades.

Why do you say that? I find that I basically never die in normal (non-boss) chambers, so it seems like Stubborn Defiance wouldn't be very good.

I ended up just swapping all of my normal selections to the opposite on my 10th completion run. Maybe not the best strategy but to me it was the easiest way to narrow down the number of runs needed for this specific achievement.

@StarfigtherProx, the problem is you can only die once in every chamber, the normal enemies are easy, the dificult is the bosses (teseu and Hades), if you die, you only recover 30% health, its almost nothing...

In this case, i forgot of 10th clear... so i have to made it... ive run with the perk that gives 50% dodge , Hermes Keepsake and boons to boost dodge and the Atenas' and Demeter Duo Boons and a lot of DPS.

Pretty sure Death defiance is much better that stubborn. The only real use for stubborn is when you can't heal during the higher heat pacts

There is no scenario that stubborn defiance is better than death defiance.

Even the health recovery is better on death defiance, the only benefit is that you can be revived >3 times. But if you need that you’re not going to get far at all.

It should honestly be a pact of punishment.

Pro tip for those struggling with stubborn defiance - when you reach Styx equip the tooth keepsake from Skelly which will give you an extra revive on top of your once per chamber for the Hades fight. I also used Sisyphus companion which deals 1000 damage and drops health items.

Requirements: You must have fully unlocked all of the Mirror of Night's talents (see Nyx's Mirror trophy_bronze.png for info on how to do that). You also must have successfully completed at least 1 escape attempt first and have purchased the "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" job from the House Contractor.

The "Dark Reflections" prophecy states: "The son of the god of the dead shall someday break free from the realm in which he was born while influenced by all the many Talents revealed in him by the Mirror of Night." Completing it rewards you with 8 Titan Blood.

This prophecy is simple to understand but tough and time-consuming to complete. It requires you to complete at least 1 escape while using each of the 24 available talents from the Mirror of Night. Obviously as you can only use one side at a time, this means you can only ever have 12 active at any time, so you will need at least 2 full runs to complete this. However, this can obviously be difficult if you're without some of the better ones, so don't feel pressured to push to do each entire side in one go; you can spread it out over as many runs as you please. Just note that you need to actually successfully escape with each one; if you fail, it will not count for those talents. For obvious reasons, it's best not to do this while using the Pact of Punishment, because why make it much harder on yourself unnecessarily? Using God Mode will also help make this easier.

Once you've used all 24 of the talents at least once in a successful run, the prophecy will be completed and the trophy will pop.
