Favor of the Gods
Adds 30+ new incantations that are based on your relationships with the gods.
I tried to keep them balanced, while still making them feel worthwhile.
New Incantations added
- Aphrodite: 25% chance to not spend a nectar
- Apollo: Cast circle grows by 20%
- Arachne: Costumes have +10 armor
- Artemis: More likely to appear
- Athena: More likely to appear
- Charon: Enemies more likely to drop gold
- Chaos: Get one free temporary reroll for each god
- Circe: All familiars skip all minigames
- Demeter: Gain extra plants (multiple upgrades purchasable)
- Dionysus: Small chance to gain more nectar on every pickup
- Dora: Shades deal more damage
- Echo: One item at Charon's shop respawns
- Eris: Sell rubbish for bones
- Hecate: Start with +20 magick
- Hera: Start with one of each element
- Hephaestus: Gain extra ore (multiple upgrades purchasable)
- Heracles: Increased gold from Heracles
- Hermes: Increases dodge chance by 5%
- Icarus: More likely to appear
- Narcissus: Gain 1 max HP when you beat a room without taking damage
- Nemesis: Increased gold from Nemesis
- Odysseus: 50% chance for each room to count towards a second keepsake
- Olympus:??? (It's a secret!)
- Poseidon: More rare fish
- Schelemeus: Gain 5 bones for every 7500 damage dealt
- Selene: More "Path of the Stars" points
- Zeus: Olympus damage effects increased by 10%
Each of these requires enough hearts with the god mentioned. Some also require having other abilities or story checkpoints unlocked.
The "Olympus" incantation requires 3 hearts with all 13 Olympic gods: Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Hera, Hermes, Hestia, Poseidon, and Zeus.
FAQ
Does this disable achievements?
Nope!
Can this be installed mid-run?
Yes, but the game only checks for incantation-unlocks at the start of each night, so you'll have to complete a run to see any of the new incantations.
Also the game only adds a max of 3 incantations per night, so if you're in the late-game, it might take a few runs to unlock them all.
I don't see one of the incantations in-game!
You either need more hearts, or are missing other upgrades. None of the upgrades require more than 5 hearts with any god, so if you still don't see it after 5 hearts, you're probably missing other upgrades or story checkpoints - just keep playing.
What if I don't want one of the incantations?
You can turn off any of the incantations in the config, ReturnOfModding/config/BlueRaja-FavorOfTheGods.cfg. Or, you know, just don't buy the incantation.
Your translations are terrible
Yes, sorry, I used AI for the text translations. It may surprise you to learn that I do not speak 15 different languages.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
