All Hades 2 Animal Familiars Listed

Despite having a limited number of options, the animal familiars in Hades 2 prove to be highly valuable in the Underworld. These adorable companions serve a dual purpose – not only do they enhance your appearance, but they also offer various benefits that aid in your survival. Below is a comprehensive list of all the Animal Familiars featured in Hades 2.

Complete List of Hades 2 Animal Familiars

At present, players have the option to choose between two animal familiars in Hades 2. It is highly likely that additional familiars will be added in upcoming updates, but the current choices are already quite practical.

Frinos

Frinos the Toad makes an appearance at the beginning of each run and is a helpful creature. It has the ability to provide extra health and its usefulness extends beyond that, as Frinos can also jump onto enemies and inflict damage. Once a night, it can even command a Shade, aiding in obtaining extra Psyche.

Toula

Toula the Cat is one of two familiars that can be found in Hades 2. Although it can be challenging to locate them, the rewards are well worth the effort. Toula possesses a Death Defy ability that can save your health in dire situations. Additionally, Toula aids in defeating enemies and increasing your fish supply as it catches one each night.

Both Toula and Frinos can have their abilities enhanced to increase their effectiveness. It will be intriguing to observe if additional familiars will be included in the upcoming updates.

Unlocking Animal Familiars in Hades 2

Before you can have an animal familiar join you on your journey, there are a few steps that you must follow.

Brew the Woodsy Lifespring Incantation, which creates a sanctuary that spawns randomly and contains a cat that you can pet.
Once you reach the edge of Erebus, Hecate will offer you the recipe to craft the Faith of Familiar Spirits Incantation. This incantation allows you to create a gift for your future familiar.
You’ll need (2) Nectar and (1) Lotus to create one incantation.
You can create more incantations to recruit more than one familiar or upgrade the abilities of your existing one (requires Beast-Loved Morsel alchemy recipe).

Please be aware that although it is possible to have two animal familiars and improve their abilities, you can only have one of them equipped at any given moment.
