Supergiant Games releases the fourth patch for Hades 2, which turned out to be bigger than expected
With the release of Hades 2 Patch 3, Supergiant Games announced a shift in focus towards the first major update later this year, meaning that future updates will be smaller and less frequent. However, just three weeks later, Hades 2 Patch 4 was released with significant changes.
We've just released Early Access Patch 4 for Hades II on Steam and the Epic Games Store!????

Here's What We Know
The studio explained on Twitter that Patch 4 includes balance changes and bug fixes that are necessary before a major update. Although the patch is labelled as "smaller", it still contains important changes.
Two bosses, Headmistress Hecate and Chronos, have been adjusted to be easier to hit from behind after certain moves. Chronos has also changed the sequence of some of his attacks. This is in addition to the buff to the Sister Blades, which now deal more damage when hit from behind.
Patch 4 primarily fixes bugs reported by the community, such as fixing the storyline events with Nemesis and Moros. Additionally, phase shift and moonbeam hexes are tweaked, as well as changes to Boons, Blessings, and Daedalus Hammers.
