You’re going to need plenty of Titan Blood for this.
For each weapon in Hades there are hidden abilities that can be unlocked. These Hidden Aspects are one of the thing that you must be working towards as you progress through the game as they offer powerful features in the weapons themselves. In this guide we’ll explain exactly how to unlock the Hidden Aspects in Hades.
Hades Hidden Aspects Unlock What You Need to Know

- If you can’t get the character to give waking phrase start your run and quit out

Aspect of Guan Yu – Eternal Spear
- Hidden Aspect for Eternal Spear
- Invest 5 Titan Blood into non-Zagreus aspects
- Speak with Achilles until getting Waking Phrase
- Head back to weapon room
Guan Yu should be your first Hidden Aspect to unlock and it is tied to the Spear.
It is done so by investing 5 Titan Blood into your weapons. These aspects need to be non-Zagreus aspects. As you will notice the first Aspect in any weapon is the Zagreus aspect, make sure you invest the Titan Blood in one of the other two aspects.
Once you’ve invested the five Titan Blood you will need to continue to chat with Achilles back at the main hub. You might need to chat with Achilles multiple times to get the right dialog, but once you do you can go back to the weapons room where the hidden aspect of the spear will be revealed.

The Aspect of Arthur requires that you invest 5 Titan Blood into any aspects for the Stygian Blade. Once you’ve invested the Titan Blood you will need to speak with Nyx in the main hub until you get the waking phrase. Again, once you get the phrase you can head back to the weapons room which you can then access the hidden aspect for the Stygian Blade.
