How to unlock the Friends in High Places achievement in Hades - Definitive Guide
This achievement is to call a god when your yellow meter *God gauge* has all 4 bars full. *You of course first need to get an aid ability from a god*
You can easily do this on the Hydra boss just by saving the meter up but you can sorta cheese if you are finding that you need to use the power during the fight.
This can be done in Elysium with the enemies that regenerate. *Brightsword, Longspear, strongbow, greatshield, the dudes who turn into ghosts when you kill them* Clear the room for all but one and keep letting them regen, once you get the bar filled call in the god for your achievement.
Edit: For those who are saying it is glitched or downvoting because it did not unlock make sure you are not playing from quick resume/suspend mode. It breaks achievements in this game. You need to fully close the game each time you stop playing, even if just to launch another app.

This seems glitched, like a few other achievements. I used it twice on the third boss and it didn't pop. Unless you have to kill the enemy with it ?

No unlock for me.

Whenever you get a Boon there is a chance it will be a 'Call for ____'s Aid' which is default on F. Let the gold bar fill to 4 slots (or max) and then hit F to get a better version of that God's aid and POP! it will unlock.
After a few runs in your starting Boon will introduce the Call ability which is triggered with your R2.
In order to invoke a Greater Call you need to fill the Call bar to the max within a single room before using your Call button. This will cause a very short cutscene and activate the Greater Call ability which is essentially a beefed up version of the smaller Call for a longer duration.

This is a very simple, very easy trophy. Firstly, you'll have to unlock the Call ability. After a few escape attempts, at some point when you speak to Poseidon, he'll offer you his Call ability. Once you've got his, you'll be able to find Call Boons like any other. Apparently it took quite a long time for some people to unlock this, so just keep trying and picking up Poseidon Boons until it happens.
The Call is one of the skills you can get from Olympians' Boons and is an aid summoning skill that lets you "summon" that God to help you in the fight. Once you have any Call skills, you'll get a God Gauge bar on the bottom of your screen, right under your health bar. When it fills up, the Call turns into a "Greater Call" which gives you a stronger version of it. By default, your gauge fills every time you take damage, so just allow yourself to keep getting hit and eventually you'll get there. There are ways to speed this up though, as various Boons/items exist that affect the generation of your God Gauge (see below).
Once you've got any Call Boon (even the first one you get from Poseidon) during a run, wait for the meter to be absolutely 100% full before using it by pressing . Once you activate the Greater Call, you'll get this trophy.
You really don't need to concern yourself with this trophy as it's all but guaranteed you'll get this naturally, but if you're curious, here are the boons and items that can help speed up your God Gauge:

- "Aether Net" (Well of Charon item) - Begin Encounters with your God Gauge already 15% full.
- "Hunter Instinct" (Artemis Boon) - Your God Gauge charges faster when you deal critical damage.
- "Proud Bearing" (Athena Boon) - You begin each Encounter with your God Gauge partially full.
- "Quick Favor" (Hermes Boon) - Your Call charges up automatically.
- "Boiling Point" (Poseidon Boon) - Your God Gauge charges faster when you take damage.
- "Clouded Judgment" (Zeus Boon) - Your God Gauge charges faster when you deal or take damage.
