Stygian Blade

Hades isn't shy on presenting you with all sorts of challenges and tough enemies waiting in each corner of the underworld. Luckily for you, Infernal Arms are there to save the day, and make each one of your escape attempts unique.

This guide will cover everything you need to know about the Stygian Blade's aspects, how to unlock them, and what do they bring to the table.

Stygian Blade Aspects

There's always a total of four Infernal Arms Aspects for each, and you will need nothing but Titan Blood to unlock them (aside from the default Stygian Blade and Heart-Seeking Bow aspects, which are obtained just by starting the game.)

Keep in mind that the fourth and last aspect is always hidden, and it will require a certain number of steps in order to reveal them. Only then you'll be able to purchase and start upgrading them.
