HadesHades II

Asphodel, once known as the Asphodel Meadows, is a desolate collection of rocky islands amidst a sea of fire beyond Tartarus. In Hades II, Chronos will send Melinoë to Asphodel when traversing through Oceanus. Unlike the first game, Apshodel serves as a bonus area similar to how Erebus was in Hades.

Book of Shadows entry

'Most of the dead used to gather in the meadows of Asphodel. One day or night, however, the meadows all were set ablaze, when the burning River Phlegethon boiled over. After that, even the dead had to move on. Who can say how Asphodel fares now? To us it is but a dream, of a different time.'

Sand Vortex & Witch Circle

To leave Asphodel, you must activate the sand vortex which will form a moving green witch ring that you must stay on until it reaches a 100%. Once a 100% has been reached, you simply need to pick the chamber's reward and you will return to Oceanus. During this phase, enemies from Asphodel will start to spawn and attack you, keep in mind that they will constantly spawn as the percentage reaches 100% or 0%.

Alternatively, you can simply activate the orb and let the ring drop to 0%, doing this will let you leave Asphodel quicker if you don't want to fight but you will receive no chamber reward.
