How to unlock the Infernal Arms achievement in Hades - Definitive Guide

Here is a more comprehensive guide:

After you have unlocked the 6 different weapons, each weapon will have 3 aspects (in addition to the "Aspect of Zagreus" that you start with) that need to be unlocked using Titan Blood. However, in order to unlock the third aspect of a particular weapon, its hidden aspect, you need to first reveal it by using the corresponding "waking-phrase" that you get from a particular character.

Revealing Hidden Aspects:
Varatha, the Eternal Spear - Aspect of Guan Yu
- Purchase the Fated List of Minor Prophecies from the House Contractor
- Reach the final boss (you do not have to defeat the final boss)
- Unlock any 5 weapon aspects (obviously neither Zagreus nor hidden aspects)
- Interact with Achilles until he gives the waking-phrase

Stygius, the Blade of the Underworld - Aspect of Arthur
- Reveal the Aspect of Guan Yu
- Spend at least 5 Titan Blood on upgrades to Stygius aspects (Note: I recommend maxing out the Aspect of Zagreus, because you need to do this anyway to receive a Cthonic Companion from Skelly)
- Interact with Nyx until she gives the waking-phrase

Aegis, the Shield of Chaos - Aspect of Beowulf
- Reveal the Aspect of Guan Yu
- Spend at least 5 Titan Blood on upgrades to Aegis aspects
- Interact with Chaos while equipped with Aegis and receive the following dialogue:
You come to my domain bearing an all-seeing artifact that sprang from me after the dawn of time. It is considered a defensive instrument, I do believe. Though, I suspect you have discovered, or soon shall discover, it is nothing of the sort.
- Interact with Chaos while equipped with any weapon until they give the waking-phrase

Coronacht, the Heart-Seeking Bow - Aspect of Rama
- Reveal the Aspect of Guan Yu
- Spend at least 5 Titan Blood on upgrades to Coronacht aspects
- Interact with Artemis while equipped with Coronacht and receive the following dialogue:
Hey, how'd you get your hands on a nice bow like that? You take good care of Coronacht for me, so I can try it too once you're up here.
- Interact with Artemis while equipped with any weapon until she gives the waking-phrase

Malphon, the Twin Fists - Aspect of Gilgamesh
- Reveal the Aspect of Guan Yu
- Spend at least 5 Titan Blood on upgrades to Malphon aspects
- Interact with Asterius (without Theseus) while equipped with Malphon and receive the following dialogue:
Huh. You mean to fight with me bare-handed this time, short one? I'm not ashamed to say the Champion himself defeated me in such a manner back when we drew breath.
- Interact with Asterius (without Theseus) while equipped with any weapon until he gives the waking-phrase

Exagryph, the Adamant Rail - Aspect of Lucifer
- Reveal the Aspect of Guan Yu
- Spend at least 5 Titan Blood on upgrades to Exagryph aspects
- Interact with Zeus until he gives the waking-phrase

Unlocking Weapon Aspects:
To unlock every aspect for each weapon, the first aspect costs 1 Titan Blood, the second aspect costs 2 Titan Blood, and the hidden aspect costs 3 Titan Blood. And, to reveal every hidden aspect, you need to invest at least 5 Titan Blood into 5 of the weapons (every weapon except Varatha). So, if my calculations are correct, this achievement requires a minimum of 61 Titan Blood!

This seems like a lot, but remember that you get 2 Titan Blood (one from the first boss and one from the final boss) for every successful run with a particular weapon at a record Heat level (use the Pact of Punishment). There are also prophecies that reward a lot of Titan Blood, so aim to complete those too.

For reference, by the time I had completed some rewarding prophecies and I had done successful runs with each weapon at Heat levels of 0, 1, and 2, I had enough Titan Blood to unlock every weapon aspect.

So after I unlock all the hidden aspects I then have to max out *all* the aspects?

Edit: ahh, not max out, just "unlock" as in all aspects can't have the padlock beside them (ie the first "purchase" for each).

I just got the waking phrase for the Aegis shield while doing a run with the Arthur sword. Thanks to RNJesus I guess. This may help since you dont need to repeat runs with just the shield to get it

You have to have unlocked (As in spent blood at least once on every single aspect on every weapon) to have this pop, not just the hidden ones.

After you unlock all the weapons, you will get the option to reveal different 4 aspects for each weapon. They give bonus stats, and some have slightly different move sets.

Right away you’ll have access to 3, the base aspect, and 2 other aspects that can be purchased for Titan blood. The last aspect on each is hidden. Unlocking it comes down to performing different tasks that prompt dialogues with the right characters, who give you a phrase to unlock the aspect. These conversations are more or less random, and some need certain triggers.

The unlocks are:

-Guan Yu (spear): trigger a certain dialogue with Achilles. This conversation is random, so make sure you talk to Achilles on the west wing after every run. He’ll mention it in a conversation, and you can run into your weapon room to reveal the aspect

-Aspect of Arthur (sword): like Guan Yu, Arthur is unlocked by having enough conversations with Nyx that she mentions it. Make sure you talk to her whenever you can after a run, and eventually she’ll give Zagreus the phrase

-Aspect of Gilgamesh (fists): unlocked by running into the Minotaur miniboss in Elysium WHILE the fists are equipped. This one can be very RNG, as there’s no guarantee if you even make it to elysium that you’ll fight Asterius as the miniboss. The final boss room with Theseus doesn’t count, so keep using the fists and picking doors that have the skull icon under their reward (these indicate minibosses/challenge rooms)

-Aspect of Beowulf (shield): given to you by talking to Chaos. Throughout runs you’ll a multicolor eye panel on the floor. After clearing the room inside, you can go in the now open portal for health. Inside these you can talk to chaos. Like Achilles and Nyx, he (they?) will eventually give you the phrase to activate this aspect.

-Aspect of Lucifer (gun): given by talking to Zeus. After picking up so many of his boons during runs, he will mention the weapon and give you the phrase, much like the rest of them

-Aspect of Rama (bow): like the others, it’s given by having enough dialogues with Artemis. Eventually she will give you the phrase to unlock this for the bow

You forgot to mention a crucial piece of information - you need 5 titan blood invested in the weapon to be eligible for the hidden aspect unlock.

For the comment above, I just unlocked the hidden aspect for the spear having only spent 3 blood on it, so this isn't true.

That is *only* true for the spear. The rest do.

Aspect of Gilgamesh is not correct. I had the sword when I fought the Minotaur and he gave me the "God-Like King" prophecy which in turn unlocked the aspect of Gilgamesh. SO you don't have to have the fists equipped to get it.

Finally got the last 2 phrases, I hadn't done 5 blood in the base weapon aspect (or any), and got them on my first encounter with Artemis and Chaos in which I was using the base aspect of the respective weapon with it maxed out. I didn't get the shield from my first visit to Chaos while wielding the bow of Rama, but swapping to shield, my next visit unlocked it for me!

Celes, I have them all unlocked except the shield one, I cannot get Chaos to say the waking phrase. I have gone to him so many times with the aspect of Chaos on the shield, before and after completing the Night and Darkness prophecy. Just want to confirm what you are saying here because I have not tried what you are saying. Are you saying if you go to Chaos with the base shield aspect equipped and the base shield aspect maxed to level 5, you got him to give you the waking phrase?

Yep, that's what I'm saying caused it to unlock for me. It's possible it was a coincidence, but given how many times I had been talking to them with getting the same dialogue over and over until I did that, I think it might be required.

Celes, so I went to Chaos with the maxed out base aspect and nothing happened. I then purposely failed that run and lost my 15-run streak. Next run went back to Chaos with same shield and he said the dialogue needed. Maybe it had to do with my win streak, so I would suggest doing what you said with the base shield AND making sure you don't have a win streak going? Seems odd but that is what finally unlocked the 1st dialogue for me

Any hints for the bow / shield? This is my last achievement, I've literally been just doing runs with Artemis keepsake to get her first, do up to 5 rooms to look for a chaos portal and talk to them, and then die, but I'm about 40 runs into doing that with neither phrase yet.

This is correct for every weapon except the spear. And, to clarify for anyone who might be confused, "investing" means upgrading, not unlocking, weapon aspects.

Aspect of Gilgamesh is not correct. I had the sword when I fought the Minotaur and he gave me the "God-Like King" prophecy which in turn unlocked the aspect of Gilgamesh. SO you don't have to have the fists equipped to get it.
It is sort of correct. I believe that you need to have previously encountered the Minotaur (without Theseus) while equipped with the fists AND have the Minotaur comment on the fists. After that, you can get the unlocking phrase from the Minotaur in a future encounter while equipped with any weapon (you still need to invest 5 titan blood beforehand).

Requirements: Must have purchased all 6 Infernal Arms first. See Arms Collector trophy_bronze.png for more information on the weapons. 


With 4 Aspects for each of the 6 Infernal Arms, there are a total of 24 Aspects, all of which you'll have to unlock for this trophy. The first 18 are very simple to unlock and will just require a fair amount of Titan Blood. The remaining 6 are more complicated, and are known as Hidden Aspects. Each has requirements that must be met, but even once you've done so, there's another special step; each Hidden Aspect has a secret "pass-phrase"; a phrase that Zagreus must hear from a specific person before the Aspect can be unlocked. Even if you know the phrase, you can't enter it; you must hear it from that person. Once you do, the next time you interact with the weapon, the final Aspect will be unveiled. After that, all you need is 3 Titan Blood and you can unlock it!

However, before you can unlock all the other Hidden Aspects, you'll have to unlock Varatha's (Eternal Spear) Hidden Aspect first. The Spear's Hidden Aspect is called the Aspect of Guan Yu and requires the following [SPOILER WARNING]:
  • Purchase the "Fated List of Minor Prophecies" from the House Contractor
  • Reach the final boss (you don't have to defeat him, reaching him is enough)
  • Invest 5 Titan Blood into at least 5 different Aspects in any weapons, except for the Aspects of Zagreus
  • Speak to Achilles as many times as needed until he says the Spear's secret phrase: "I see you through the eyes of the crimson phoenix."
Once you've done all of the above, equip the Spear and then interact with the Spear's shadow-like placeholder to open the Aspects page and the Hidden Aspect will be revealed. (Note: For the Spear, you won't have to pay any more to unlock its Hidden Aspect, but this is only for the Spear. For all the 5 other weapons, you'll still have to pay 3 Titan Blood each to unlock theirs once revealed.)


For a list of all Weapon Aspects, how much it will cost to unlock each one, and how to unlock its Hidden Aspect, see below:
