Arcana Cards are bonuses inHades 2that become permanently available once they are unlocked at Melinoë’s Altar of Ashes in the Crossroads. While fans can view information about some of the game’s Arcana Cards the first time that they access the altar, they may be curious about the bonuses that will become available to them as they work through that initial batch. This guide is here to address that curiosity, and a list of the Arcana Cards inHades 2can be found below.
This guide is a work-in-progress and will be updated over time.
