    How to unlock Hades Needs a New Wife

    This is a story related trophy and cannot be missed. Persephone is the Queen of Underworld, who is plotting to bring the end of the world and serves as the game's final boss fight. By the time you face her, you should most likely have all your weapons and magic fully upgraded by this point in the game. Persephone is perhaps one of the most strongest female bosses ever created for a video game. This final boss fight will take part in four phases.

    Boss Fight - Persephone's attacks:
    • Charge: She charges at you and then slams her fist down towards you causing a green pillar of energy to erupt out of the ground.
    • Double Punch: Standard punches with her fists.
    • Rock Throw: She'll kick the ground causing a huge chunk of rock to appear and will then kick it right towards you.
    • Dark Ball: Fires a powerful big dark ball of black/green energy at you.
    • Dark Ray: Shines a black/green ray at you that will then explode on contact.
    • Dark Pillar: Summons and creates a dark pillar of energy that erupts from the ground.

    Phase 1:
    When the fight beings she'll charge attack you and then double punch you and maybe or may not she'll perform her Rock Throw attack at you. You'll want to you the Gauntlet of Zeus for this fight and attack her with a basic 2-3 hit combo and either roll or jump away from her as she performs her own attacks against you. When you back away from her she'll always perform her Rock Throw attack against you. No matter what, you'll want to dodge every Rock Throw attack she kicks your way for these will inflict major damage. Rinse and repeat these steps until a cut-scene happens.

    Phase 2:
    This phase is a mini game interactive cut-scene. This phase of the battle is also the Atlas in Chains trophy, so complete the mini game by completing the sequences that appears on screen until you've chain the Titan, Atlas, to the world. Once you've chained Atlas, your health will be completely restored.

    Phase 3:
    During this phase Persephone will stay on top of one of the three pillars. She'll shot her Dark Ball of energies at you, so reflect these back at her by pressing the button at the right timing until she collapses. When she goes down, quickly run towards her and double jump into the air with and then press use the charged + with the Gauntlet of Zeus equipped to perform the Olympic Thunder move. This move will inflect major damage towards her. When Persephone regains conscious, she'll move towards another pillar. Each time she moves towards a new pillar she'll become more aggressive with her attacks and will begin to attack with each of her "Dark" type attacks. Continue dodge her techniques and reflect her Dark Balls back at her. Until you finally depleted her health to the point she collapses on the ground.

    Phase 4:
    This is the final phase of the battle. When Persephone is collapsed on the ground and is rendered unable to fight back. Run towards the golden light circle in the middle of the field. Once on the golden light press the button to bring out the Sun Shield and then keep tapping the button. Be careful though on not to continue pressing the button for other button commands will pop up as she's getting closer towards you. After successfully completing the proper corresponding buttons to kill her and complete the game, your trophy will unlock.

  • The transition from phase 1 to phase 2 is when Persephone is at 50% health, and from p3 to p4 is at 10%.
  • Just as i was about to type a rant of how much of
  • cheating bitch she is i finished phase one with, what looked like an empty bar of health. This some sweaty hands shit lol.
  • Who the fuck puts a cutscene after a checkpoint
  • the transition to phase two is very annoying. game tells you to keep pressing the shoulder buttons to prevent her putting you to sleep, but doesn't point out that you have to IMMEDIATELY stop doing this before the very quick QTE to avoid being crushed by Atlas's fist. took me about 10 attempts despite pressing the correct face button because i was still mashing the shoulder buttons.
