v4.0.0·Updated 2026-04-26

Adds Heroic and Legendary upgrades to the Altar of Ashes cards and increases maximum Grasp

About this mod Author’s original text

This is a fix to "Extended Alter of Ashes" by Mehaz, since the existing mod crashes the game and Mehaz has gone AWOL. I also made the code more robust to future game updates.

I'll try to fix major bugs, but I won't be taking feature requests.

The original mod description:

Extended Altar of Ashes

Features:

  • Adds Heroic and Legendary upgrade tiers to each of the cards with scaling and unique costs. (Note: You still must unlock card upgrades through regular progression).
  • Increases maximum Grasp to 62, and adds scaling and unique costs up to the maximum.
  • In order to easily uninstall the mod, or upgrade your save through a Supergiant patch:
  • Attempt to upgrade an Arcana card that is above Epic without the required materials or at Max Rank to refund it back to Epic.
  • Attempt to increase your Grasp above 30 without the required materials or at Max Rank to refund it back to 30 Grasp.

WIP Goals:

  • Currently, XII Eternity (Death Defiances) and XXIII The Artificer (Minor Find -> Major Find) do not have a Legendary upgrade due to them being implemented differently in the code.
  • Add another tier of upgrades.
  • Support the mod through Early Access.
  • Take your feedback into account for the future of the mod.

This mod is compatible with Hell2Modding & ModImporter.

Note:

  • I designed the prices based on what I like (scaling prices for excessive power, Grasp is a long grind).
  • If you don't like the prices I made and want to change them, go to

ExtendedAltarOfAshes/MetaUpgradeData.lua and change them yourself!

  • The Arcana cards are listed in order from I -> XXV in the file, in case it's confusing.

For your convenience:

  • MemPointsCommon = Psyche
  • Mixer6Common = Darkness
  • MixerFBoss = Cinder
  • MixerGBoss = Pearl
  • MixerHBoss = Tears
  • MixerIBoss = Zodiac Sand
  • MixerNBoss = Wool
  • MixerOBoss = GoldenApple
  • CardUpgradePoints = Moon Dust
  • WeaponPointsRare = Nightmare

-... and everything else is fairly self-explanatory.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Hades II uses the game's built-in mod import — unzip the pack and place it where the readme says.
