Minor Prophecies are an optional activity that returns in Hades 2, working much as it did in the original game. These are essentially a series of challenges set by the Fates, each featuring different tasks to complete. Once you fulfill their objectives, you can claim useful rewards to help you progress, including Reagents, Plants and Seeds, Indulgences and more.
In this section of our guide, we will show you how to unlock the Fated List, how many Minor Prophecies there are and how to complete them all to earn their rewards.
To unlock the Fated List of Minor Prophecies in Hades 2, you must first progress far enough to perform Incantations at the Cauldron in the Crossroads. You will be able to use the Cauldron from your second run onwards, so it will not take you long to gain access to it.
After performing this Incantation, which calls upon the Fates for help in a time of need, nothing will happen immediately. Do not worry, as the Incantation does not have an instant effect. Simply continue playing as normal. The next time you die, Moros will appear in a special scene in response to your call for help.
When you return to the Crossroads, the Fated List will now be available. You will find it immediately outside Melinoë's tent, where she awakens after each attempt.
Below, we show you the complete list of Minor Prophecies you can fulfill in Hades 2.
Bear in mind that Minor Prophecies are gradually revealed as you progress through the game and perform certain actions, although many of their objectives can be completed even before the Prophecy itself appears on the list. In addition, whenever you fulfill a Prophecy, you must claim its reward manually by visiting the Fated List at the Crossroads and using the "Foretell" option to open it.
With that said, our list will explain the requirements for unlocking each Prophecy—although some of these requirements have not been fully confirmed and are based on assumptions—as well as the objectives you need to complete and the rewards you will receive.
