The Warsong update ofHades 2has added a fair few bits of new content in the early access title, and you’re able to now unlock a new animal familiar called Gale.
If you’re a returning player toHades 2, unlocking Gale the Polecat will be a simpler task. However, even if you’ve picked up the game for the first time following the new update. The steps mentioned in the following section will allow you to unlock the new familiar pretty quickly.
How to unlock Gale in Hades 2
There are two prerequisites you must meet to unlock Gale. Twoincantationsmust be completed:Faith of Familial SpiritsandShared Familiar Bonds. This is why I said that it will be easier for returning players to unlock Gale. These incantations have to be completed if you want to unlock any animal that is familiar with that matter.
Once the two incantations are complete, start asurface run. To find Gale, you’ll have to get to the final chamber before you come across Prometheus. This usually means completing several tasks along the way.
From here, you’ll be able to reach Prometheus, but before that, you’ll come across a shop. Keep a treat with you before encountering Gale, as it will prevent the new familiar from giving you a slop. In my case, I had to encounter the creature for the second time to recruit. Based on the experiences of other players, you can’t recruit and provide Gale with a treat the first time you meet.
Like all familiars, you’ll be able to upgrade Gale’s abilities to make the Polecat even more powerful. It can attack your enemies, along with land powerful blocks. It will be interesting to see if the new addition becomes the community’s favorite, replacing the likes of Hecuba.
If you’re a new player and have yet to unlock any familiar, make sure to check this list of all theanimal familiarsthat are available in the game. The guide will not only help you to unlock a familiar of your liking, but also upgrade them with the required resources.
