Book of Shadows

The Book of Shadows is a book owned by Melinoë containing information on the characters, creatures, weapons, and locations that appear during Melinoë's journey. The Book of Shadows is the Hades II equivalent to the Codex from Hades, and is unlocked after defeating Hecate three times in combat. Unlike its counterpart in the first game, which is known to have been written by Achilles, Hecate mentions that she, and others, had contributed to the text of the Book of Shadows.
